EDITOR News: The "unterrifed'
Cleveland Democracy" composed
of Hon. George Clark, Gen. Felix
Robertson, Russell Klngsbury and
the rest of the "bolters" from the
regular Democratic party last fall,
met at the city hall last night and
proceeded to "resolute" in favor of
Cleveland and his late message.
There were quite sprinkling of the
true Democrats, but they were
powerless to do any good, and al.
lowed the "cut and dried" resolu-
tions to pass without any discussion.
According to the programme al.
ready mapped out, the "Little
Giant" was then called for. He
needed no persuasion, but mounted
the rostrum aud proceeded to laud
to the skies Mr.. Cleveland as a pa.
triot and statesman; the same man
whom he had once most cordially de-
nounced prior to his election.
He "bends the pregnant knee
that thrift may follow fawning."
What Office does he want? The
judge is great and good man, and
If he will only indicate to US what
"posish" he desires, we will use our
"powerful'' influence to get it for
him. Cleveland, no doubt. will re.
ward him, for "there is more Joy
over one sinner that returnelh than
over ninety.nine Just men who need
no repentance.
He said lie stands by Cleveland
as long as Cleveland stands by the
platform, when he we'll knows that
Cleveland has kicked the platform
over and violated its commands.
He says: 81 would stand by our
party now if there was not q silver
dollar i'll the land" Why didn't he
stand by 1T when Hogg was nomi-
natedp What did he "bolt" for i?
In the hopes of being governor.
And now, finding that he is dead as
door nail in Texas, he makes bid
for federal patronage, and aspires to
be the leader of the Cleveland De.
mocracy, and to "read OUT old life.
long and true Democrats like Coka,
Hogg, Reagan & Co.
But, when that time comes, as ii
will do next year in the primaries,
"the boys from the forks of the
creek' will be there and George will
be forced to take a back seat once
more.
He spoke of the "55 cent dollar, >
when he knew that a dollar in silver
will buy just as much as dollar il
gold. He sneers at the very money
that he advocated in the last election
and which, he said, was the "pool
mans friend" Has the money OF
our distinguished friend changed?
Judge Clark should be sent to the
Worla's Fair as an exhibition of the
biggest "little giant" from Texas
and as one of the greatest politica
acrobats of the Union-in Texas o.
elsewhere. The fortune that b,
would make by a public exhibition
of himself would far exceed tn,
large fortune that he has made il
law. He could thus we'll afford t,
be gold bug, sure enough.
Today, when the country is rock
ing to and fro like the waves of al
angry ocean; when men, by tn
thousands, are out Of employment
and they and their wives an,
children are out Of bread; when tn
heartless banker, reveIing in hi
wealth, given, as it were, by tn
government, refuses to loan or ad
vance one dollar to fill their hungr
mouths. George Clark, with h.
thousands of dollars, wb
never knew y want, dc
hberately, and for poli!ica
purpose, joins his late enemy, tn
president, in making a war o
silver, and destroying the money O
the people, thus increasing the
sutferings and driving from thel
the last ray of hope for themselve
or their families.
We love Geo. Clark very much
voted and worked for him mo,
cheerfully in the late election
Wherever his white plume wave
