Pomona, OaL, Sept. 22, 1892.—
W. T. Roberta, Editor Hbspbbiab,
Gainesv lie, Tex. Dear Si.: Have
promised myself some time to
write yoa, and will make my word
good this morning. I like the
oountry very much, although it is
different in pretty much all partic-
ulars from Texas. The fruit yield
has been excellent and the prices
good, so that the growers have
bad a prosperous year in the
main.
Politics rather quiet. I send
you a San Franoisco Examiner
giving account of the recent fail
ure and closure of the great Tem
escal tin mines, some 20 miles
southeaat of here. Tbe opening
and operation of theae mine* have
been loudly and st all timea re-
ferred to as tbe direct, specific re-
sult of the protective tariff sys
tem. Tbe total failure of the con-
cern is quite a
KNOCKDOWN ARGUMENT
against tbe republican campaign
war cry. I also send you a
sample of tbe general ticket under
the Australian ballot system,
which will be used here in the
general election for tbe first time.
You see it is a very cumbersome
and complicated affair. These
samples sre sent out to the differ
ent political organizations so that
the people may meet and practice
the ballot that they may be able
lo vote intelligently when the time
comes.
Truly the political air of Texas
is sulphurous with the fum^s of
sheol. Her unsullied glory and
grandeur, as handed down by our
uoble forefathers, has been immo-
lated upon the demagogic altar of
Hoggism and Clarkism. Her star
of democratic distinction and
championship kas set. It has
been the brightest in all the gal
axy that bedecked the political
heavens, as its uniform and al-
most countless democratic major
ity has always attested.
But now a dark cloud obscures
it and the tury of the atorm is on
with lurid lightning and crashing
thunders, flashing and rolling
from horizon to horizon, until the
politioal repose, peace and quiet
of a once trusting, abiding people
is
a thing of the past
It is certainly to their
shame that the people
so determinedly bestow such
hero worship and idolatrous gaze
and gush upon these two puny
worms of the dust. Dii not Texas
have noble men and true to guide
her destinies even over rough and
perilous seas before Hogg or
Clark ever saw tbe light of day t
Where is the chivalry, self sacri-
fice and old time devotion that
marked the every step, thought
and deed of our beloved fathers
and forefathers, some of whose
blood crimsoned the Alamo and
the battlefielda of Texaa wber
ever Mexican or Indian foe was
met! Not one drop of this blood
should suffer dishonor aa it was
freely, cheerfully and sacredly
spilled in procuring and ahaping
tbe destinies of a commonwealth
whose possibilities made it tbe
bright and guiding star in
all the realm of states.
It was a rich and noble
legacy entrusted to our bands and
keeping. Have the sons of so
noble an anoestry departed from
tbe faith and defiled or stained
with dishonor the bright escutch
eon so hopefully confided to them
with a profound and earnest invo-
cation that God witneas and bleaa
and ssnotify the trustt After all,
haa it oame to paaa in ao short a
time that blood was spilled in
vaint Haa tbe memory of tbe
historic and heroic past become
unhallowed in thia conflict of paa-
aion! What terrible nightmare
taunts the people! Whenoe this
ntolerant wicked apirit of demo
iition! Tbe ssaater used to serve
the state and people, i>ut now tbe
state and people are made to
SBETB THE MA8TKE.8
The peace, love and unity
of the democratic brethren
in Texaa ia a byword aud laugh
ing stock with the republicans
here and 1 suppose the antlre
country over. Texas, the hoaated
bulwark of democracy, truly im-
witbout, but its
11 _ com-
pie e bylts MfOof friends* within.
T0 me, at tUftdtetnn*^ H^looks
and patriotism.
As was said of southern Call-
ornla during the boom, all that
Texas lacks now of being
a lunatic asylum
politically) is to be walled in.
Whenever a people composing a
arge. compact political family, as
in Texas, and who are one in dem-
ocratic principle and dootrine, dis-
rupt into malignant warring fac-
tions you may without doubt be
aaaured that it ia the handiwork
of conaummate craft and dema-
goguery. However aly and cov-
ered up it may be, it is there some
where in its hideous maak and
has triumphantly,though poaaibly
covertly, stirred up the mad fury
of the people until the bitter
scramble liea not only between
the contesting leaders or "bosses"
but tbe people as well, so that
friends and neighbors who were
never hostile before become the
most bitter, unreaaonable and un
compromising political enemies,
and, paradoxical as it may seem,
claim essentially the same politi
cal faith and doctrine.
Has tbe democratic faith be-
come so weak and the party so de-
generate that there is no longer a
common altar where all may meet
and worship aa of old! Is it true
that there ia no longer any vital,
ooheaive power or party purity
and tolerance that differences
ainwdi or great or men or measures
can no longer be gentlemanly or
decently discussed and adjuated
within the ranksl If so the party
iaa surely served its day and use-
fulness and deserves the fate that
awaiting it.
Aa a Texan by birth, and ever
proud of my native atate, I blnahed
with very shan&e aa I read the
daily dispatchea that gave reports
of tbe furious mob (where anarchy
held high carnival) that met in
Houston under tbe misnomer of a
state democratic convention. It
is an inerasible blotch upon the
pages of the political history of
Texas and lor the disgraoeful
soene which Mr. Matlock enacted
he should be forever held in ap-
probrium. He aimply enacted the
part of
a cheap bully,
disgracing himself and the whole
state of Texaa. No matter which
faction was in the right or which in
the wrong, his conduct was unjusti
flable, inexcusable, indecorous,
ooarse and highly reprehensible.
To say the least, laying aside all
passion and partisan prejudice, it
is quite a snaky looking animal to
represent pnre and undefiled demo-
cracy.
Hogg orow may bo uninviting
and unpalatable, but Ouney san-
sa^e, being of such ratty composi-
tion and so mal-odorous from
rancidity and taint, that for a
democratic stomach to digest and
assimillate}: would be a desperate
gastronomic feat that would arouse
old Jumbo's jealous rage and make
a caged lion roar with envy.
Had the convention met in a
reasonable state of mind and oool
deliberation prevailed, and had it
not been for latent selfish ambi-
tions and obscure demagogery
and had all "fool friends''
BE main ed at HOME,
both Hogg and Clark under
all "the circumstances would
or should have Been honorably
and respectfully put aside and
aome one of the dozens of noble
patriots and able statesmen se-
lected to take charge of the reins
of government and re-establish
democratic peace and order in
plaoe of anch passionate folly and
utter ohaos.
I beg your pardon for such a
long letter, I did not intend it
when I started out.
We greatly enjoy the Hbspeb-
ian. May it prosper and grow in
usefulness.
With kindest regards. Yours
truly, V. A. Howeth.

Washington, Sept. 25. — The
weather waa very oppreaaive in
Waahington laat night, particular-
ly before midnight. Ita effect was
apparent on Mrs. Harrison, who
waa unusually reatleas and wake-
ful. Thia fact gav* rise to a rn-
mor that there was a change for
the worse in her condition. This,
however, her physician asserts, is
not tbe case. He reports Mrs.
Harrison alept several hours dur
ing the day and took tbe uaual
amount of nourishment and is as
comfortable as usual tonight and
resting quietly.
