of worlds" has gone down in temporary
defeat before the combined forces of Re

yet you, and the "old guard" of Democ-
racy, have repulsed, defeated and scat
tered the combined forces of Republicans
and POpuIists and proclaimed to a liberty
loving world that Democracy and good
government still rule in Texas. With the
party divided, torn and fighting among
themselves on the financial question, you

bosom Il feeling of discomfort; they told

party; how, if they were elected, they
would bring better times to the people.
