up his name at our mast head.
This action on our part will please
some, disappoint some, and enrage
some. We take this course be-
cause it is right, and because there
is no other course left open to us.
The Republican will never put at
its mast head any man who is not
the nominee of the republican
party. We are aware that at this
time there are many Republicans
who differ will us as to who the
nominee is; but we believe that a
full, fair and honest insight into
the facts of the case fully sustalns
our view of the matter.
Mr.. Houk had the committee on
his side, and fixed the date and
manner of holding the primary to
suit himself. The people were
called upon to express at the ballot
box their choice as between MIR.
HOuk and Judge Gibson. A large
majority of them voted for Judge
Gibson. This should have settled
the matter, and would have settled
it If one Richard w. Austin, late Of
Alabama, had not taken hand In
the matter. He is a smart, slick,
tricky and dangerous politician.
He has no visible means of support
outside of his profession of politics.
He has unlimited influence over Mr.
Houk. He has led him into com.
hitting a great crime against the
peOp'e and now Mr.. Houk does not
dare to shake him off,. There will
be no harmony in the party as long
as Dick Austin dominates Houk
and pushes him forward as a can.

MRS. BRECKENRIDGE WANTS A
DIVORCE.

1t seems that the Honorable(O
W. G. p. Breckenridge has been get
ting deeper in the mire every day.,
since his perfidy in the Miss Pollard
matter, became known. 1t now
ooks as if he will lose both of his
new wife and her fortune, as it is
reported that she is preparing to
sue him for a divorce, a late press
dispatch from Louisville, Kentucky,
says in regard to the matter.
If Mrs Breckenridge intends in
stituting divorce proceedings
against her husband, the defend
ant in Miss Pollard's breach Of
promise suit, the fact is unknown to
her relatives in this city. DR., Pres
ton Scott, Mrs, Breckinridge's
brother, is at present in Florida for
his health, but Mr.. Campbell Scott,
and other members Of the family
are in the city. A reporter visited
the home Of DR.. Scott tonight and
his inquiries elected the informa-
tion that the family knew nothing
of Mrs, Breckinridge's alleged in
tention to sue for divorce. They
say the first intimation that they
had of any such intention on her
part was conveyed to them by the
press dispatch from New York this
morning, The SCOTS are much an
noyed by the light in which they
stand and are seemingly greatly
harassed by the various rumors
ahoat concerning the former Mrs.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs,
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feverS
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

NO. Us.

As he was going over the edge
Coates grabbed a wall plate with
his right hand and hung to it, his
body being suspended at a height
of 100 feet Coates fellow work
men were paralyzed with fright and
two of them tainted. Others soon
recovered their senses and set about
to rescue him, All this time Coates
was crying out to those in sound of
his voice to save him. In the course
of few seconds the horror stricken
watchers on the bridge below saw a
man appear at the window and be-
hind him were several other men.
The first conner leaned far out un-
til it seemed as if he would tumble
headlong from the pole, but his
strong hands and a stout rope
about his body held him securely
while he reached out and grasped
the man hanging from the wall
plate and succeeded in getting him
to the window ledge, Then with
almost superhuman effort both
men were dragged through the
window by rescuers inside. The
rescued man when he found him
self saved, fell over in a dead faint
and the rescuer, Williom James, an
other carpenter, collapsed COM
pletely. A faint cheer reached
those in the room at the top of the
elevator. Coates, when he was fin
ally revived, was in such nervous
condition that he had to be assisted
home by two of his fellow work
men,

A MISTAKE.

Elsewhere we announce, as a mat
ter of business, a ticket cotton out
by the Republican party of the East
side under the misleading cognomen
of "Citizens Ticket" In justice to
the colored people, who compose
fully two-thirds Of the party in the
city, they should have had repre-
sentation on the ticket,
Referring to the above, Mr.. Edi-
tor, permit me to state that you
are evidently "of your base" in
your statement that the ticket, as
published in your Saturdays paper,
under the heading of Citizens
Ticket, " is cotton out by the Re-
publican party We acknowledge
that possibly the so.called "citizens
ticket" may have originated from
the efforts of a very few chronic
office seekers who, | am informed,
have tor years ldbored under the
impression that the salvation of the
city depends upon their filing the
city Offices. On the eve of any city
election for the past decade, and
since they have been citizens OF
Texarkana, it is a well known fact
to both Democrats and Republi-
cans, Populists and every other
known party, that a chosen few

THE CHAsM BRIDGED.

TEe following is the foundation of
political faith upon which the divid-
ed elements of Texas Democracy
stand solidly united as adopted by
the two wings of the party in joint
convention at Dallas Monday,
Whereas, a serious division exists
among Democats in Texas and it
is to the interest of the party and
of good government that such di-
vision should be adjusted and the
party reunited upon the basis of
fraternal union, involving no sacri-
fee Of principle on the part of any
Democrat nor the imposition of any
terms calculated to bring humiha-
tion, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we most heartily
favor a reunion Of the party and
while this committee does not as
sumo to frame or dictate a plat
form yet for the puapose of reun-
ion we recommend and submit as a
basis of adjustment and settlement
of all differences honorably.
l. We relate our Endorsement of
the national platform adopted at
Chicago in 1892 as a true express
ion ofDemocratic faith, and stand as
a unit ready to second the exertions
of our Democratic president and
coogress in the execution of the de-
mands of said platform.
2. We condemn the platform and
principles of the republicans and
populists, or peoples party, as es-
sentially inimical to Democracy and
destructive to free government,
8. We propose that all primaries
and conventions to be held in 1894
be composed and constituted on the
basis of the vote for the Democrat
ic presidential electors in 1892 and
no person who was then of age and
did not so vote, unless prevented by
sickness, absence or other good
cause, and no one who will not pledge
himself to abide by the action Of
the state convention so assembled
shall be allowed to participate in
the primaries
4. Resolved, That in order to
unity the machinery Of the party in
the state it is agreed that in all
counties in which there may exist
two Democratic county or precinct
committees that committee which
was created by the regular Demo
cratic county convention shall con-
stitute the only recognized county
and precinct Democratic committee
and all appointments of county
chairmen made by either state exc
cutiye committee be and the same
are hereby revoked.
The above preamble and resolu-
tions are the result of the conven-
tion, now just closed at Dallas Tex,
held in the interest Of harmony and
reunion of political faith in the
ranks of Texas Democracy.

ceS, etc, this ticket Is then born,
christened and baptised as a Repub.
lican ticket, gotten out by the RE
publican party, when as a general
thing the majorityof the Republi-
cans white Republicans who are
Republicans from principle, and not
for office, have had no intimation
that the party, as party, had any
intention or desire to put out a
ticket. l understand that the
meaning of party is defined as a
body of people having the same
opinion upon either politics or reli-
gion in which the majority rules;
l do not understand that a half a
dozen or a dozen individuals can get
their heads together in secret eau
Gus, nominate themselves to Office,
make a ticket and launch it forth
upon the public as a party ticket,
and as ihaving originated from the
party as party ticket There are
good men on the so-called citizens
ticket, yet l doubt, in one or two
cases, their sincerity as Republicans.
But that is neither here nor there.
1t is time that all Office seekers
learn that this "star chamber bus
mess is played out, that it does not
meet the approval of the liberal
class Of the majority of the true
Republicans in this section, as is
plainly evinced by the outspoken
opinion expressed by large num-
Der of well known Republicans in
the city, since the issue of your pa
per on Saturday announcing
this as a ticket gotten
out by the republican party. A Sc
lected few that would like to play
'big ike, don't constitute the en-
tire party, nor will they receive the
support of the party, as a party.
1t is time to call halt, on such
monkey business" and until such
a time as these selected few shall
meet in open convention with the
party, as a party, nominating their
candidate for Office by the voice of
the majority of convention, as a
convention, they cannot expect the
support of the party, they will find
their names is Dennis" in every
sense Of the word,
You say in your local that the Re-
publicans have put out some good
men on their ticket but there is no
hope Of electing any of them. AL
low me to state that this ticket is
not recognized as a Republican
ticket, consequently will not be sup.
ported as such. The Republican
party having no ticket in the field,
Republicans will as a matter of
fact, support the candidates for
Office as men, regardless of politics,
This is the expression of many re-
publicans as individuals, leaving pol
itics out of the question. Cren-
shaw, Treher, Wright, and W. G.
Cook on the Democratic ticket, will
control more white Republican
votes, than will any candidate men
toned upon the "citizens ticket. !"
] believe Of two evils always choos-
ing the least, and if we must live un-
der Democratic Administration, let
us take our medicine like men, al
though they are unfortunate
enough to be Democrats. This is
not only the expression of our white
republicans but of the majority, as
well, of the individual expression of
the larger numbe of the intelligent
colored voters, with whom ! have
conversed upon the subject.
Very respectfully,
lA Lifelong White Republican.
