ton, and at the st. Louis conven-
ton.
And be it said to the eternal in
fanny of about one dozen white
men, sharers of the spoils, he
carried his scheme through. The
word infsmy is too poor to
characterize the transaction.
Cuney's course in the Austin
convention was simply d-ble.
He raised a false race cry, that the
white man had said emo negro
should be chairman of the conven-
tion." This false race cry gave
him the negro support solid, and
the support of those whites who
had traded with him by swapping
supports, and gave him the chair
manship Of the convention.
That convention held a large
majority of Mckinley men.
Now watch Cuney's open frauds
upon that body of men-earnest
Republicans.
Quincy appointed a credential COM
mittee to his taste. The commit
tee after two days reported, hurl-
ing from the convention every
Mckinley man whose seat was
contested; q minority report was
refused; and a San Antonio dele
gate took his little pencil and
wrote the names Of "Cuney,
Makemson, Terrell and Ferguson"
for delegates-at-large, on tele.
graph blank, and handed the
paper to Eugene Marshall,
Eugene Marshall got the eye
Of Quincy, Quincy vacated the
chair moment, Eugene
Marshal took it, put q viva
voce vote on the names, declared
the four nominated, and Quincy
declared the convention at an end
and the fight opened, and had
Quincy been a white man, he would
not have lived q moment-the po-
lice saved him from a just mob
bling, and the chief white con-
spirators skunk of to their
hotels, and the convention pro-
ceeded and sent four delegates (Mc-
Kinley mem to the national con-
vention.
The worst is to come. The four
men, thus pretendingly elected, by
Quincy, Terrell and Marshall, had
the gall to go to st. Louis and
claim the seats.
They got patient hearing, by
that august body, and were told
| in word that flash and sentences
that burn, "depart, you are dis
honest men; you are bulldozers ;
you are instigators of fraud upon
your own people," And they de-
parted.
This is and should be the end of
Quincy, and his Grace war" on the
Republicans of Texas.
There is yet another chapter. 1t
is local. Quincy POLITICALLY dead
retired to Hot Springs. Hearing
that John Grant was candidate
for state chairman, Quincy rushed
home, commenced his "race war" at
Dallas and thence to Fort Worth
thence to San Antonio, Texas.
At San Antonio, and at midnight
our, chairman met him, and ar.
ranged to have our county send
Quincy delegates to Fort Worth.
| This produced the revolt al
mission garden. In that revolt.
who Is right?
| Quincy is a poorly-educated man
very vain, made 30 by the praise
and support OF this race, and the
emocratic press, but has shrewd
ness. ,.v ,,-7
| Now, Mr.. Sabine Era, you will
take notice that Quincy Is 8
dead boss In Texas. You will
please note that this has been a
good year for killing Republican
bosses.
And whilst we are greatly tt
blame for allowing Quincy or any
other man to boss us, or seems Il
do so; yet, it is unfair In the En-;
or any other Democratic paper II
Texas to try to hang his rotten pc
litical carcass around the neck o
the Republican party OF Texas an,
llonger. OLD REPUBLICAN,.
