teen years---that will take every man
in her ranks, together with his best
effort. to accomplish. This work
comprises no less a task than the
complete redemption of the country
from the mistakes and blunders Of
those years. Part Of its task will be
to drive from place and power the
sentiment that makes swindle on
the scale OF the Credit Mobiler affair,

With objects SO vast before US,
and upon which hang results preg-
nant with the future veal or the
future woe, Of the vast empire built
up and fostered by the care Of the
founders of the party, can we afford
to permit schisms to creep in, or can
we affor ] to waste time in doubtful
experiments, or waste 1t in iratricidal
warfare which, while it murders the
party, destroys all. our hopes for the
future of the peoples who have sought
our shores TO work out IN quiet and
in peace, the problem Of human hap
piness, and human liberty. Can We
here in Texas, here in the vanguard
OF westward progress, can we pause
in our glorious career, and fall to
destroying each other? We fatally
mistake IL. hopes and desires of the
people of Texas; OF the dominant po.
Iitical power OF the State, if it toier-
ates any such criminal shortsighted-
ness. Let the party Of Texas rise
equal to the splendid career now
only opening up to her. Let not her
chozen leaders be dishonored merely
to forward a base dishonest scheme
to gather money at the expense of her
toiling people, and let us make
such disgraceful squablings in the
future, an utter imposslbility. If we
deserve to again take our place in
good faith, among the States of the
nation, we shonld be equal to tine
task of correcting ana controlling
our own affairs, and a Governor Of
Texas striving honestly for the great
est good to the greatest number
should not be damned by disap-
pointed aspirant Tor petty place
near the government.
