convention;
The Bryan daily eagle. (Bryan, Tex.) 1895-1898, 1896-08-08

Preamble.
We demand change Of administra.
tion in Texas for the reason that, dur.
ing the 9s years in which the Demo.
cratic party has had control Of this state
It has squandercd our magnificent pub.
lio domains 10 corporations and sales At
nominal prices to syndicates and land
grAbbers. and has thrown every impcdi.
mont in the way Of the actual settler.
Il has multiplied offices, wasted the pub.
lie revenues, increased our state debts
and raised our taxes 10 the point ap.
preaching confsoation. Il has increased
the expenses Of the state government
from 1000, 900 per annum TO more than
q. 900. 900 per annum. BY It's malad.
ministration Of the public school funds
It has. in open violation Of the oonstitu.
tion, reduced our public free schools
from a six TO a three months session per
annum, and at the same time Il has in.
vaded our permanent school fund 50
that the same will ultimately be extin.
guished, instead Of remaining a. a per.
petuAl benefit to postority, as designed
BY our fathers. Though ncedlessly mul.
tiplying courts II has failed TO enforce
the laws by refusing the repeal Of sonso-
less teohnicalities In our criminal pro.
ccdure; IL has rendered necessary 70
versals Of the Judgments Of convictions
against notorious criminals TO such an
extent that our courts Of final resort
have been subjected 10 gross abuse and
the administration Of our laws has been
brought into such contempt as TO incit,
mobs to deeds Of violence. to the sham,
and disgrace Of our state.
We denoanoo the present adminisira
tion Of this state Hs being purely per
aonal and dominated by ring rule. as il
evidenced by such acts as the payment
Of oxtravagant and unnecessary fees .,
