pnrney's Same ola Trick.


Grc6rville Banner.
Barney Gibbs has another political scheme
on foot. 1t is Il cold. bad day when Barney
cant get up some new scheme for the relief
OF the dear people.
His latest scheme is to have n great oonven-
ton of the populsts and ali the disgruntlod
elements in the State: all the enemies OF good
government all the anarchists and agitators,
for the purpose OF putting out ticket to de-
feat the democratic party in the State.
There is nothing new about this. Ii is the
same old song he has been singing since ne
left the democratic party and the only thing
remarkable about IL is that he is fool enough
greater part of the year 1876 ho kept up Il
continual racket about the "mudsillersn and
how they would rise up to smte the democ-
rNcy The people rose up as usual and gave
an trwhelming and increased democratic
mhtc rity, just rs they viii do this year Why
viii u man OF Gibbs sense continually indulge
In such nonsense when he knows that he can
not accomplish anything? Agitation along
that line has no doubt been a source of rove
nue. To some of the populst leaders, and "A
motive for their conduct can be found In the
revenue II brings to them. but Mr. Gibbs "
nor the man to resort to mean, low tricks for
the sake Of money, because he has plenty.
Ii h. gets any satisfaction out of the agita-
ton we fail to see where ii comes in for In
all HE laborcd efforts for the last few years
NJ fAs not erected single reform nor bene-
nted single human being ana has not even
h"a the pleasure OF seeing his party grow
Probably he likes to get his name into the
DALLAS News and is satisfied with that.
