piece of land muBt be of such a length and

Pobbir" electric soap next wash day
Used without any wash boiler ruobing
board gand used differently from any othi
er soap ever made. It seems very droll to
think of a quiet, orderly two hours light
work on wash day, with no heat and no
steam or smell of the washing through the
bouse, instead of a long day's 1 ard work
but hundreds of thousands of w >men from
Nova Scotia to Texas have proved for
themselves that this ia done by using
Dobbin's electrio soap. Don't buy it,
hov • er, if too set in your ways to use it
acctr ling to diiections, that are as simple
as to seem almost ridiculous and bo easy
that a girl twelve years can do a large
wash without being tired. It positively

Waco, Texas, May 17,1182.
D*ab Friend: Your paper
with your editorial on my oandi-
daoy for governor is reneived, and
read with the attention and inter-
eat that an old and long-tried
friend's opinions always receive at
my hands. It would bi to me a
great pleasure to have your support
iu my race as an independent dem-
ocrat lor governor of Texas,
I have had such a long acquaint-
ance with you, and that acquaint-
ance has brought me so much sat*
isfaotion and enjoyment, that I
will not quarrel with you now for
your opposition to me. You cer-
tainly baye earned the right to
pable they may be,) 1 am impelled
by a sense of duty to declare my-
self independent ot the organiza-
tion, and appeal to the people for
a reversal of such practices,
This action is best for the party,
because unless it can be purified it
is not fit to live and ought to die.
In my judgment your efforts will]
but bring to you insult, derision j
and failure. You, and all men wboj
dare to be jnst, or who entertain I
ideas of policy at variance with tiie
views of the "machine" leader*,
are viewed with suspicion. You
are tolerated for your votes but j
your views are not consulted and
your feelings are disregarded,
The "machine" is nothing but or-
ganized selfishness. Thejmauy ex-
cellent men who adhere to it can
no more prevent its cowardly at*
taoks on private character than
they can control its action in con-
vention. This party maonine is a
tyrant, grown up among us, it is
true, but it is as destructive of po-
litical freedom of thought as was
the Mexi«au tyranny of 1835* The
managers will allow you to talk in
committees anl in the corridors,
but when the convention assembles
tbe adroit and unscrupulous man*
gers will ice on hand ; they will
lully understand eaoli other, and
without much speakiug or any hes»
itation, the previous question will
prevent your friends from arriv-
ing at an understanding until the
nominations are declared, After
this you will be expected to pocket
your principles aud make a neat
speech endorsing the action of the
convention 11! In ' the party"
there is no thought of the great in-
terest of the people; there is no
care for the proper management
and perpetuity of our trust fuuds,
the publio lands squandered, peti-
tions ot the people disregarded.
! What better could you expect
Young Dsrwin, who intends to prepare
his late lather's biography, is mentiened
as peculiarly fitted for the ta-tk both by
education and personal knowledge. He is
a clever young man, and has been his fa-
ther's colleague ia many his recent sci-
entific researches.
Joe Blair, colored, recently convicted by
the Chesterfield, Va.,county court of petty
larceny, aud sentenoed to six months in
jail, asked the sheriff to see the governor
and have his sentence commuted to "as
much whipping as the governor tniuks
proper." He says he is "too lonesome in
jail, and imprisonment stays by me longer
than whipping."
speak freely on subjects touching
the welfare of Texas, and I shall
be the last to deny that right. You| when "the party" is for men and
know I am a democrat, i. e., one " 11
who believes iu the principles of
democracy. My devotion to the
people of Texas need not be writ-
ten in words, My ambition is for
Texas, not for myself, Bave only as
I can be the means ot serving
Texas. Do you not see that "the
machine" has taken the place of
"the party." If you go into the
conveutiou to fight the battle of
reform within "the party" you will
be gagged by tbe application of
the previous question, and "the
machine" rolling onwards to the
nomination, will not hear your
protest and will despise your in-
dignatioo. After you once enter
tbe convention your seuse of honor
will be appealed to, and you will
be told that you went in to win
and must not complain at a loss.
The industrious cracking of the
party whip; the strong yearning
all men tee! to maintain their early
socir.l and political relations ; the
promisa of future advancement,
are but a tew of the mean9 which
are employed to destroy individual
conscience, when it opposes "the
machine," I would heartily re-
joice if yon succeed in your expec*
tations at Galveston, and I would
feel abundantly reptrd for beiug
called "mongrel," "demagogue,"
"traitor," etc., if I could see the
party wrested from tbe "mana-
ger*" and re«tored to the people.
But so long a« "the party*" has no
ntber purpose or and than to dis-
tribute tha profit* of a political
partnership among certain gentle-
men, (however respectable and ca-
not measures. If my labor in this
understanding shall tend to estab-
lish a larger freedom and make
Texas more independent of ail
meutal political slavery, I shall
not have served my country in
vain, even in my old age. You
are mistakeu iu your idea that I
am actuated only by hostility to
Governor Roberts. If the present
system is to be continued I see no
reason why be should not occupy
the 'executive chair ai well as an-
other. I am for measures not men.
If is in my judgment of small
consequence who sits in the Exec-
utive Chair, but it is of infinite
importauce that the people should
shake off this impudent tyrant that
seeks to gag free rneu, and uses
tbe name of the democratic party
as a oover for a political bucket
shop, where political profits (spots
and futures) are openly traded,
These yiews are distasteful to me.
I olosed my eyes to them as long
as I could ; but as I row eee tbe
truth, I could not longer sit in si*
lenoe. 1 bave taken the step on
my own convictions, without ad*
vice or counsel from any but dem-
ocrats. Tbe leaders (ur those who
aspire to be leaders) o! course look
to tbe established order of things
for their advancement, and I ex-
pert their opposition'; but tbe
masses of tbe people see their help-
lessness in conventions, and they
should not always submit to being
traded oft, or disregardedf and to
them I appeal.
Very truly your friend,
J. B. Bobebtsok.
