Tho gang was called TO meet in Gal
weston on the 18th inst az menace TO
the regul0r organized Democracy OF
Texas. The executive committee az
Austin fixed tho time and manner uf
holding the primary election, and pro-
vldod for the eicctInH of delegates to
the convention by the people and order.
ed two conventions all M was agreed
upon at the Dallas meeting. The gang
that met In Galveston on the 18th Inst.
was composed OF old boilers and politi-
onl corpsas. Federal apponteos and
others. who once held positions by
overriding the viii " their own peo-
pie, and denounced the organized t,s-
mocrncy OF Texna. the action OF thr
executive committee, ana say mat tho
people shall not have primary cleo
tion, but must hold primary conven-
tons, the old trick by which the VIII
OF the people has been trhmpled UNDER
foot and by which they have been mis-
represented and robbed OF voice IN
public affairs for more than twenty
years The convention Is not FOR tho
people but for the stock 1obber who
thereby expects to control by triokery
and fraud. whence cometh this gang

denounce their action as un-Dsmo-

10 tho Democracy of Texas. and dare
say that their resolutions VIII not %
noticed by Democrats In any county IN

tends 10 win great victory this year,
and this little gang cannot stop them.
AS Gen. Lees army was marching 70

Hooker and win the great victory AZ
Charlottesville. II passed by farm

gusted, let down the lars and Drove
them into back lot. saying; Get IN
there. you old has-beens; your braylns
wont stop Con. Lees army" This
needs no application.
In conclusion, let me ray 10 every
Democrat In syery precinct and county
In this state, that under the law any
political party may order primary
election and It is protected by law. The
people can not be deprived or the right
10 any election by tho refusal or failure
OF Judges or GERS Of election to open
tho polls. Let the democracy of Texas
Ia every county and precinct assemble
Mt their usual voting places on the 9Th
OF June next and should there be no
Judge TO hold such primary election
at your voting place. then and there
select one of your number nv Judge
OF election who win then appoint the
other officers OF election MS provided
IN articles i7i4. 17i5 and 17iC. new
edition revised statutes OF Texas, hold
your elections and preserve the re-
turns that the result may be estab-
lished. Where any executive commit
tee OF any county bolts and proposes
20 part from tho regular organized
Democracy OF Tcxas. the Democracy
OF such county have the power at once
by precinct and mass meeting to re-
organize and reform the executive
committee OF such county. and taxa
such course as they deem best 70 secure
their right OF expression on the Ques-
ton submitted. The Democracy be-
gins and ends with thu people. with q
firm reliance upon the people who make
up the CREST army OF Democrats and
trusting and believing that fhey will
not falter or be robbed OF their rights
at tina when the happiness and well
fare or Themselves and their children
hrs at stake, leave ths matter ~
