ieW Gays ago Congressman Hall OF
missouri. who lately deserted his own
people and went over TO the gold stand
ara people, said In speech In con-
gress that within the next year one
thousand millions Of dollars In bonds
would be issued. This would seem 10
be carrying out the conspiracy OF the
national banks TO the letter. The re-
cent meeting Mt Galveston Of Clark,
Hardy. Giddings, Mcdonald & Co. was
n meeting of these national bank con-
| spirators together with a few old bolt
ers and political corpses.
They proceeded to denounce the De-
| mocracy OF Texas. the executive com
mittee and its chairman in unmeas-
ured terms, because n primary election
| has been called, mt which the people
In the humber walks OF life may eN-
ercise the same right and have the
same voice as tine national bank presi-
| dent, stakeholder and paid attorney
| upon the great questions affecting the
| prosperity and happiness OF every man,
l woman and child not only In Texas
hut throughout the length and breadth
OF this republic. II Is the old, old story
| OF tyranny and oppression trying to
! prevent the Judgment Of the people.
] Tyrants and oppressorr despise and
l dread the people. They would rivet
/ the chains OF bondage upon the people
| and make them "hewers OF wood and
drawers Of water" They would bur-
I den the people with an enormous tax
TO pay the interest upon bonds issued
TO build up q monled nristocracy in
THIS country like that existing In Eng
land The two hundred and sixty mil
lions OF bonds which have already been
issued when they will have run thirty
years VIII amount to $500, 900 and 1t
VIII cost every one OF the now seventy
millions OF population of the United
o. States. thnt ic
child $3.50 to pay them on; but this In
81 small matter and the people should
! pay II, so they say, without murmur-
| ing, and without having any voice, as
the people, according TO this idea. have
no rights which the national banks
and hondholders should respect. For
some days prior to the meeting or this
little gang at Galveston Il was adVer.

The great feast was held, and like at
Belshazzar's feast. the handwriting APP
pcared upon the wall, at least George
Clark saw 1t, for he said with en-
phasls II tell you. II we go into the
primaries, we are whipped before we
start" This was about the only truth
told at this meeting, not even barring
the statements OF the great sloshcr,
the Hon, Mr.. Dunlap. This accounts for
the bowling around of these super
animated old Jerusalem high kickers.
The old naylng is, Its the hit bird
that nutters," but Sam Jones says
ITS the hit dog that hollets.' The
people have called them 10 judgment.
They have deceived and misrspr0-

Lament assembled he would demand
that large sums OF money be Illegally

peoples Representatives, he would dis
solve parliament and run things to
suit his own notion. No parliament mot
for eleven years. At last Charles dsfed
the people and sought to impNson their
representatives and the people spoke
and spoke In thunder tones at Marston
Moor and Naseby.
The Democracy of Texas will speak
to these conspirators in no uncertain
tone on the 9Th Of June next. At this
George Clark oyster roast the little
gang We're entertained by Judge AID

speech delivered before the Bankers
association at Atlanta in which he
ridiculed bimetallism TO the delight OF
the little gang, II II refreshing to know
that they have one man among them
who IL not so stupid as to advocate

time claim To be a bimetallist The
Chicago Times Herald described how
the Judge at Atlanta aroused the north
ern and eastern bankers by his inlm-
liable power Of rldicule. II reminded
me of the boys and the froIs, II was
fun for the bankers, hut hell ON the
people. Then Judge Hardy, as the
News states after eating some thirteen
hundred oysters and RECALLED with an
Imitation gold medal, proceeded TO
denounce the coinage OF silver. and
say II they would give him money and
a hundred speakers he would carry
Texas for gold, and theteupon the gang

a month and for over three thousand
ballots TO mount the platform adopted
by the congressional convention which
met at Corsicana August the J, 1888,
adjourned To Dallas, August Fl, 1891,
and then Adjourned to Hilslboro. Aug
ust q, 1894 This as you remember was
after the Dallas convention. The n
nanoial planks IN said PLATFORM are as
follows:
I'VE do not approve the veto
by President Cleveland of tho seign-
forage bill and re-indorse the action of
our representative and senators In con-
gress on that measure.
10. I'VE are opposed TO the Issuance
of interest bearing bonds In time OF
peace, and we favor the use OF both
gold and silver at the ratio OF l6 to
/, as heretofore established by law as
the standard money OF the country.
And we declare II TO be the duty of the
Democratic party TO iDausurate and
carry out some financial system by
which both metals may be coined and
circulated ON parity OF value without
treating either metal as commodity
and without discriminating against
either by special legislation or exeeu-
tive ruling" And there was one VIII

weston oyster roast, VINO stood some
several thousand ballots before he
could be kept on this PLATFORM.
II would seem that these faithful
followers of George CLARK, late OF the
Galveston oyster roast were is TO 1-ers
then for congress only. Notwithstanding
they say now that both the Dallas and
Chicago convention expressly declared
against the heresy, and they are going
to Kick out of the Democratic party

and selgniorage veto and everything
else done by the illustrious Grover.
and also declare against the coinage OF
silver. And they say their gang IL a
