FRIDAY, JAN. q, 1896.
LETDEMOCRd7,S A WAKE

ltlHfe Is no OlSSUlSlH0 the
fact that the Immense majority
which so long made Texas the
banner democratic state of the
nnion and which was the pride
of every true democrat has been
gradually slipping away, until
there is now only plurality
instead of q majority and even
this is threatened in way
which should excite the interest
If not the alarm of the Texas
democracy. The DETECTION from
the party has.not been perhaps,
more due TO the aggressive
policy Of its enemies than TO
the fancied security Of demo
rrats, lerhaFgy which has
long hung over the party, OBJ
securing the real danger and
preventing any steps from be
ing taken to thwart If. But il
is better 10 look the situation
squarply in the face, to lay
aside idle Boosting and discuss
the question In a plain, prae-
ical, sensible manner.
The. democratic party can
easily win by even a greater
plurality than that of 1894 if a
proper effort is made to organ
ize. tbe..party.. and to educate
the people on the issues with
which they are to be confront
ed, but if the same slipshod,
careless inactivity is to con-
time which bias characterized
the campaigns in the past, then
10 one need be surprised to See
a democratic defeat next fall as
great as il will be humiliating.
Every day voters are being de
ceived by demagogic speakers
and writers, arrays CT SO called
statistics which confuse and
mystify them are hurled into
their faces and this confusion
produces a wavering which
may lead them into the ranks
of the enemy. And all this
time the democrats of Texas are
consuming the time in suicidal
wrangling instead of adopting
tue measures 10 counteract the
heretical teachings of the pop
ulists. While hundreds of clubs
are being organized by the third
party people the number of
democratic clubs i'm the state
may be counted OH the fingers
Of one hand; while false doc
irines are being propagated OIL
every hand scarcely voice is
lifted in defense of the truths
Of pure democracy.
If chairman Dudley would
preserve party victories lie
should begin at once a system
OF complete organization. Clubs
must be organized in every city,
town, precinct and school dis
trict Of Texas-not free silver
clubs nor gold standard clubs
but democratic clubs, in
which democrats of whatever
views concerning the money
question, may settle their diff
1erences and work together for
The. perpetuation of The princi-
pies and traditions Of the party
which has ever been a friend to
the people and to a peoples
government. Let literature be-
used, let speakers be called

A Chicken Story.

Editor DEMOCRAT.
AS the hen has been somewhat
abused of late, the fruit of her indus
try hardly beng worth hauling to
market, probably your readers would
like to hear aboutemy old hen, "Sam-
antha."
Samantha was good hen, but like
some equal sufragists, fond of wan
dering. One day last winter she
wandered too far, blizzard overlook
her, about three niles from cooptown.
and when we found her next day out
in a cornfeld she had both legs SO
badly frozen that they came off. But
Samantha was not ready to give up
the ghost. She was a good hen, and
kind of family relic; SO took and
fitted on pair of wooden legs. tying
them on with copper wire. In time
she became real handy, could devas-
tate lettuce bed with the next one.
Along in the spring she stole away
and set up to raising family. We
did not think much about that; but
blamed if she didn't surprise us when
her time was up. She came off that
nest with fourteen chicks, and I'll be
dodgasted if every fuzzy one Of them
did not have wooden legs, fastened on
with copper wire.
Now don't think I'm a populist
romancer. I'm free silver democrat
not afraid to hustle-like our old
Samantha-for my living; and want
no paternalism or female suffrage in
mine. GID SETTLER.

Koopman, on the Walnut, caught
fire. The alarm was given, and hose
company Lampe was soon on the
scene. When the Lampe fire depart
ment reached it the huge building
WIS mass of flames. Soon half
dozen streams were playing on the
fire but all in vain. Within Is min
utes the structure collapsed with a
sound like thunder clap. Captain
Lampe's men worked fully five min
utes after the building collapsed and
soon had the flames under control, but
the Walnut was pumped dry for two
miles up the creek. The fire caught
in the smoking department, where
carloads of pork were being cured.
Loss on pork and building not known.
Chris says he now has roast beef and
pork for sale at 1 cent pound. For
more particulars, see Chris himself.
