It is now positively an-
nounced that both Streeter
and Cunningham will visit
Texas in October, and will
make a number of speeches.
We will print ten thousand tickets for
the genet al election. Our tickets will
eachbegin withte names of the nation-
a. and state candidates as nominated by
the different political parties, (with the
national candi ates of but one party on
Meh printed ballot.) following these aud
the state ticket or tickets to agree will be ।
placed the names of all candidates, inclu-
j diug representative and district judge,
down to the precinct offices, at the rate
of one dollar per name for all the tickets.
The name of candidates who pay $1 will
be printed on the tickets of each party
without regard to party lines, so that all
voters can vote for their choice indepen-
deut of party for all the non-political and
near at home candidates. A great many
voters will want to vote for their party-
in state aud national offices, but will want
to vote for personal favorites among can-
didates with whom they are acquainted,
and these tickets will give them a fair op-
portunity to so vote. Our tickets will all
be made complete, so that ttiere will be
no inconvenience in voting for the pre-
cinct candidates. All precinct candidates
who pay us Si each will be put ou tickets
which are sent to their respective pre-
cincts. Every precinct candidate ought
to have his name on these tickets, for the
people dont want to vote a straight ticket
for the precinct offices. We will print
other tickets than this ten thousand, if so
requested, subject to the order of party
managers and candidates or other indi-
viduals, by special contract with them
and at their expense. Candidates are
warned to attend to this matter at once.
The first to pay will get the Hist places
on the tickets.
