STSAIGHT AS A STKIKG.
Wlsat a Representative STegro Has to
Say of ttic County Ticket.
A gentleman was crossing- Houston
street on Third last night at a time when
six negroes were making their way in an
opposite direction. Desiring to learmthe
feeling of these men on the sheriff’s and
county attorney’s race lie accosted the
leader as follows: “Hello! Strangers,
stop awhile. Tell a teller where your’e
going. Heard there was a meeting down
in the -‘bloody third” to-night. Is it
so?”
“MeetiiT, eh? Well, should reckon thar
was,”
“Many out?”
“Hundred, or mebby mor’nthat. Joe.
how many you ’spose ?”
Well, full two hundred—heap o’ nig-
gers there—mighty near every one in
town ! Cali it one hundred an’ fifty.”
••Do much?”
“ Well, fide been thar you’d a ’imagined
so! We used up a green hack man ’n less
time dan’t takes to tell it! Daily Sparks
and Carter drownded him with their Re-
publican eloquence! Good niggers, them.
Got heap o’ good sense and de colud
population, reposin confidence in dei-
gned judgment, will go with them to de
polls an’sock'’em in one hundred and
fifty strong lor de Republican ticket and
for Mr. Maddox for sheriff and Mr. Mid-
dleton for county attorney on the county
ticket.”
“Joe, is all that so?-”
“So help me goodness—I hope to be a
stage robber et every word aint truer’n
gospel.”
“How many of the boys’ill vote for Mr.
Henderson for sheriff?”
“Mighty few mister, mighty few, suah.
They’ve knowed Mr. Maddox and
he's done a heap a good turns to
some ov the boys. He kept a colored
family with six little chilens from star-
vin to death last winter, with his oven
money and de’ collard folks of dis yer
town will never disremember dat dar act
of him an goodness o’his’n, nebber, mister,
nebher. They nose a good man by his
acts, lie’ll get the nigger vote solid, suah.”
CITY SUMMARY.
Election day.
Look out for repeaters.
Everything was quiet on the streets last
night at 2 o’clock.
George Middleton seems to be the
st rung man in the city for county attorney.
The Baptist sociable, which was to he
hoi den this evening, is postponed one
week. ^
When day dawns to-morrow the Demo-
crat will tell you that Walter Maddox is
the sheriff.
Officer Woody made out and had nine
bonds tilled by one o’clock last night, all
for various petty offenses.
If you lose a hat bet be sure and go to
Goldstein’s and get it. They have a style
peculiarly adapted to paying bets.
Let every friend to Walter J. Maddox,
show his friendship by not only voting
himself but take a friend along for com-
pany.
It was reported yesterday evening that
a few of the friends of Middleton had met
in caucus with some of the Henderson
men. Tote fair.
Casino Hail was a blaze of light and a
bedlam of light last night. The candi-
dates and their friends were there in then-
strength, and the air rang with cheers tor-
tile respective favorites.
Invitations are distributed for a hop at
Evans Hall to-morrow evening, under
the auspices of the Terpsichorean club.
'The committee of invitation have our
thanks for their remembrance.
All the candidates are claiming the col-
ored vote solid. This class of our popu-
lation have acted wisely-in keeping their
own counsel, and not being Ted off by
any of the machinations or traps set to
capture their votes. They will vote to-
day independent of influences and prom-
ises.
We had the pleasure of making the ac-
quaintance of Mr. I. Stiefel, formerly of
Galveston and connected with the firm of
Lewis & Stiefel, of that place. Mr. S.
has rented the store adjoining that of
Ellis & Huffman, on First street, and will
soon stock it with an immense line of
staple dry goods. The firm will be known
under the name of D. Schwartz & Co.
The Democrat extends them a hand of
welcome and wishes them every success.
There were several encounters yester-
day growing out of a discussion in regard
to the election. We have not taken the
trouble to investigate the merits, or gath-
er the particulars of any, as our columns
are freighted with more interesting matter.
The recorder’s court will bring out the
facts when the cases are presented there.
We hope there are no more to be add to
the list. The contest is an exciting one,
and partisan feeling is running high, but
it should not be allowed to extend to
bruised noses, blacked orbits or abraded
knuckles. Let the canvass he conducted
actively as it may, but always good hum-
orcdly. Its the best plan in the long run.

AltOlYD TOWS.
Four fracases inside of half an
yesterday evening.
W. R. Wynne, of Arlington, is in town
electioneering for his pet hen.
Tiie mayor’s court will be rife with
business Wednesday morning.
—Twenty per cent, from the actual cost
of manufacturing clothing is very quickly
seen and very much appreciated by the
many customers who daily crowd around
the house of
Geo. Y. Bast & Co.

Clothiers and Merchant Tailors,
No class of mercantile establishments
contrbute more to the dignity, beauty and
general attractiveness than those engaged
in goods comprised under this head.
The mercantile trade is also an educator
of public taste, and whenever or wherever
this branch of business is found well
stocked, well patronized, there refine-
ment, elegance, grace and beauty will be
the characteristics of society, and will be
found to prevade all departments of mer-
cantile pursuits. It has been our “custom
to occasionally call attention to furnish-
ing goods houses where everything in the
line of gentlemens’ wear is kept in pro-
fusion and of the latest styles and patterns.
Among these “Gentlemen Houses,” as it
were, we can cite to none in St. Louis
which possesses more attraction or offers
better inducements to our masculine
friends than the wholesale and retail
house of Dahlman Bros., who are situated
on the corner ot Houston and First streets.
To form a correct idea of the beauty,
variety and quality of the goods kept here
would be impossible from any description
we could give—the house sells no old
nor last year goods at a discount, but
goods purchased and selected personally
by the senior partner of the firm, Mr.
Abe Dahlman, in New York city this fall.
This house was established in 1875, and
occupies a large magnificent two story
brick building on the corner of First and
Houston, which is filled with one of the
most complete and varied stocks of Cloth-
ing, Boots Shoes, Hats, Caps and Under-
wears of all kinds—Neckties, scarfs, and
the most complete assortment of Gents
Furnishing Goods ever brought to the
Fort Worth market. Each of the various
articles are tastefully arranged with one
or more gentlemanly clerks to superin-
tend each and every department. A
portion of the first floor is set apart ex-
clusively for the manufactory of goods
and their
TAILORING DEPARTMENT,
with an assortment and variety of Domes-
tic and Imported Dress Goods that has
never been equaled in this market—from
which any purchaser can select from the
latest styles any pattern that strikes his
taste and fancy. By thus keeping fully
up with the latest styles and introducing
each new fashion as. fast as it appears, this
firm has made an enviable name, and. se-
cured an immense trade—it has deserved-
ly gained the reputation of being the cow
boys home—it has endeavored to treat alt
alike, whether it be a plebian or patrician,
a stranger, an old patron. From their
long experience in the clothing business,
they know exactly the wants and require-
ments of the western and frontier trade,
and select their stock accordingly. All
of th?; goods kept by the house are of the
freshest and most superb quality, and
owing to the fact that they are all bought
for cash, direct from manufactories, this
house is enabled to and does sell goods at
a much less figure than those merchants
of our city, who buy from second ol- third
hands. The members of this popular and
well known firm are among our most
worthy and highly respected citizens, and
their name will be familiar to thousands of
readers throughout the country. The
enviable position which their house occu-
pies throughout the land and our business
community has been due entirely to the
excellent quality of the stock which they
have always carried; their moderate
prices, their liberality and fairness in all
business transactions. By way of con-
cluding this sketch of the popular Cloth-
ing and Merchant Tailoring House, we
would say to all who would buy a good
substantial suit, cheap, and those who
wish to have an idea of the late incoming
styles, to call on this firm before purchas-
ing elsewhere. We warrant you can get
the best suit for the least money of any
place in North-west Texas. All they ask
is a fair trial.

To a Worthy Officer.
At a meeting of the Panther Engine
company last night, the fire fighters pre-
sented the chief of the department with a
beautiful and costly gold badge. The
face is elegantly chased and enameled and
bears the inscription “Chief Fort Worth
Fire Department,” and on t he reverse,
“Presented to J, W. Monica, by Panther
Engine Co., No. 2.” The boys also pre-
sented the first horn of their chief with a
handsome perambulator. This is a
worthy and well merited tribute to an
efficient officer.
