the following condensed report oi
the proceedings from the Qulveston
News :
The hull was tastefully decorated
witb the national colors und the
: shield nt the government, above
' which was a scroll with the follow-
ing inscription :
"(Jive us government for the peo-
ple, by the people. Protect our citi-
zens abroad, and let the American
llag rule the waves, as it ought to."
The convention was called to order
by Senator Pfeuffer, chairman of the
executive committee, in a statesman-
like speech, briefly revieving the is-
sues winch have distinctively separa-
ted the Democratic and Republican
pnrties and urging the necessity for
earnest and intelligent work during
the campaign.
On motion of Colonel Carletoii, of
Travis, Hon. Henry Kxall. ot Lam-
pasas, was called to the chair as tem-
I irary presiding officer and Will
Lamliet(., of Travis, and J. K. Ilun-
ter. of Mcxar were named as secre-
tary and assistant secretary.
On taking the chair Mr. Kxall ac-
•juitted himsell hondsotnely ill an
appropriate speech, during which he
referred to the fact that while France
had ten million homes, the United
elates had but four and a half mil-
lion h" which was due to the
tiiahiduii.. iration of the dominant
•party, which, by fostering monopo-
lies. iiia>si;d the wealth ol the coun-

executive committee unanimously.
Alter the adoption of the resolu-

Sprague |, it is the right of nny
borer in this broad land to pass by
the civilized but rapacious Senator
and obtain from the barbarian a bet-
ter return for the sweat of his brow.
For revenue I would look to the ac-
tual wealth of the country and make
it contribute accordingly, liut this
just and philosophical system of trade
and government is not now within
our reach, and I am content to ac-
cept the recommendation <>f the Pre-
sident, to adjust the present import
system to the basis of revenue nloiio
