ct al, Without Gloves.
Translated from the Freie Presse fuer
TeXasl
The chairman of the Republican
State Executive committee must be
on real intimate terms with the
News" both of Dallas and Galveston.
No politician has been treated i'll a
more gracious and friendly manner;
both papers have often placed whole
columns of their valuable" space at
his disposal, and what is being said of
him reads as if the proof sheets had
first been submitted to him.
Many assertions are being made
which can hardly be proven; they
would lead to the suppOsitiOn that
Mr.. Green had full control of the
space and the authority to publish his
views, and to air his ideas in what
ever manner or style suitable to him
self.
In one of these last dissertations
Mr.. Green boldly declares that Texas
would go Republican two years hence.
As much as we would like to hope
for and wish for such Il change we
must differ with the writer. for it
would be sheer madness to suppose
that Texas would elect Il Republican
for governor, even though Mr.. Green
would, as he medestly hints. be will
ing to pose as a candidate for COVER
nor. How can anyone who claims a
full knowledge of existing conditions
make Sucha ssertions? No! "A Re
publican Texas" is yet i'll far away
distant future, even more so because
of present existing conditions. When
the Democrats with their talented
adrOitnesS and aptitude are tax
ing the wind out of of the
POpulists' sail and secure to them
selves as they have ever before
in the past, the negrO'S vote. 1t is
in fact beyond belief and really conf
cal, that upon the basis and the result
of the late election the attempt is
made to show that the Republican
vote has doubled itself The POpu-
lists and Gold Democrats, who voted
the Republican ticket did not become
Republicans, every one knows this.
1t is also very doubtful that in the fu-
ture they will vote the Republican
ticket again.
on the results of the late election and
indulging in self glorification. Green
and his clique should remain very
quiet for they made complete bun
gled-up-botch of the late campaign;
when finally no one knew who was
cook or waiter" and as election day
| approached the masses, without adj
vice or counsel, were left to vote as

tiasco, and severe reprobation of the
Republican State Executive commit
tee. This is all that can be said about
! ii.
Another impudent assertion of Green
ct al. which they try to parade before
| the people is that they have succeed
ed in effecating a complete organiza-
| ton of the Republican party. Nothing
of the kind!-We have never heard
of any organization. and we claim to
know what is going on in the party.
| Green's grab brigade did organize
! but the party. as such had nothing TO

brigade succeed to obtain any hold.
| it would be the complete disruption of
! the party organization. If these
| grasping and disturbing elements be
| allowed to come to the surface it would
cause the withdrawal of all honest
and respectable Republicans from the
party.
Now what is the object of all this
bombastic display? Simply TO make
au impression at Washington But
| fortunately Washington is well in
formed regarding the existing condi-
tions in Texas, and ali this worry
