Want to Take Texas

City of Mexico, April c-It transpires that the Spaniards near the frontier who really contemplated organizing regiment and invading Texas tried to inveigh a prominent German army officer into their plot but he absolutely refused to have anything to do with the affair and evidently thought them crazy. Some of the men Tn the conspiracy really believed that they could enlist Mexicans for the war to re- cover Texas and territory annexed after the American war and also claimed the southern states of the union would rise and join in the raid. Nothing more absurd has occurred during the present excite ment Everybody here is watching the events between the United States and Spain with keen interest.

Mir. Garrett Addresses Democrats.

The straight Chicago platform democrats achieved an overwhelming victory on the 9th instant in the contest for delegates to the county convention--a victory that Will be of lasting benefit to the party in the state.
 There is but one way to secure all the fruits of this victory, and that is for every delegate elected as a free silver democrat to stand united firmly and harmoniously on every proposition that affects their iil- terest and the interests of free silver can didates for office.
 No proxies should be given, but every delegate should attend the convention in person and vote exactly as his constituents expect him to vote. It is only in this way that judges and chancellors and represen- tatives to the general assembly can be secured who are in full accord with the party and support its platform and policies.
 No true free silver deleAate will commit or pledge himself to any measure or move ment, nor enter into any combination that

Kyle is re- elected or not though a member of the ex- cutive committee stated at 12 o'clock to- night he would go in by small majority It looks like "Cousin John" Simpson is elected at this hour.
