STAND BY YOUR COLORS.
The election will occur before
the next issue of The JOURNAL,
and it is to be hoped that every
democrat will forget and lay aside
all prejudice, if they have any to-
ward any of the nominees of the
party, and go to the polls and vote
the straight ticket from governor
down. Remember, that principles
and not men should be your motto.
The nominees of the party repre-
sent the principles of the party
and are entitled to your support
as such. There is nothing to be
gained but much to be lost by vot-
ing for men who are enemies of
your party and its principles.
Should they through your assist-
ance get into power, their tirst
purpose will be to pull down and
destroy your party and substitute
principles diametrically opposed
to those of your party.
Democrats should vote to send
democrats to congress and to the
legislature, as these are the law
making agencies of our system of
government and upon their action
depends the perpetuity of your
party’s principles and the success-
ful administration of both the na-
tional and state governments
in the interests of the people.
The democrats of the South
know the history of the republi-
can party. They know that when
and wherever it has held the reins
of government the people bave
been oppressed by excessive tax-
ation. The people of Texas have
not forgotten the heavy taxes they
had to pay when E. J. Davis and
his horde of republican carpet-
baggers had control of affairs in
this State. How they were har-
rassed and annoyed by his State
police myrmidons, operating as
they did under the sanction of
laws passed by the republican
carpet bag legislature. They have
not forgotten that when the dem-
ocrats come into power in 1874
how they were relieved from the
the effects of the odins laws enac-
ted by a republican legislature ;
how taxation was reduced and
their homes were no longer dese-
crated by being invaded and
searched by Davis’ State police.
They still remember that it was a
democratic governor and a demo-
cratic legislature which restored
all their rights and privileges and
clothed them again in all the
prerogatives of American citizens.
The Journal does not recall
these matters because it has any
fear of the republican party again
being in the ascendancy in this
8tate, or if it sboald be that it
would attempt to bring about a
state of affairs similar to those
referred to, but for the purpose
of reminding its readers aud es
peoially those claiming to be dem-
ocrats, of the obligations they are
under to tbe democratic party for
the freedom they have enjoyed,
from high taxation aud oppress-
ion of all kinds, since the State
came under control of the democ-
racy In 1874.
Then, we ask, why should any
any democrat wish to aid by his
vote in defeating the nominees of
a party which has conferred such
inestimable blessings on the peo-
ple and electing men who repre-
sent tbe party which was tbe
cause of all their woes in tbe pastt

My Fellow Citizens: I have
been atnoug you fifteen years
and during tbat time I bave re
ceived more consideration than I
deserve, and no matter wbat be1
falls me, no matter wbat may
come, you may always know 1
feel proud of your friendship aud
grateful for your kindness. I do
Dot come before you to night to
talk on matters political I came
here for tbe purpose of repudiat
lug the serious charges that have
been made against me by a cer-
tain well knuwu attorney here.
You know him fellow-citizens,
traveled all last night to get here
in time to obtain one of these
pamphlets. I have beeu watching
for this, as 1 knew it was coming.
They are playing politics on me.
They waited till ten or twelve
days before tbe election, so that 1
might not have time or means to
issue an opposition pamphlet
You know, my fellow citizens,
there is an awful mystery in prin-
ters’ ink. It is something beyond
the ordinary man’s comprehen-
sion. You have heard of Ben
Butler. 1 lake his case ts an il-
lustration. You have all heard of
Ben Butler stealing spoons, and
more than two-thirds of you be-
lieved tbat Ben Butler had stolen
spoods. That’s the mystery of
printers’ ink. Ben Butler was a
man who was eight times a mem-
ber of Congress, be was governor
of a great state in the north, he
was worth $0,000,000. He made
$100,000 annually from his law
practice. Would you think a man
like that would stoop so low as to
steal spoons from a private resi-
dence 7 Certainly not.
But Brick Pomeroy, of Wiscon-
sin, had it inserted in his paper in
1863 and 1864 and kept it up for
fifteen years, and at the end of
that time people generally believ-
ed that Butler had stolen spoons,
and so they called him spoony
till the day of his death. It's the
the continual dropping of water
that wears the stone away, and
that is the way it will he with
this little pamphlet if the charges
are not repudiated. Suppose a
man were to allow it to lay on his
desk and look at it at odd inter-
vals during the day, reading a
paragraph oy chapter here and
there. He would come to thiuk
that Crowley was the most des
picuble scoundrel on the face of
the earth. Mr. Terry is the author
of this pamphlet. That is, he is
the only one who has signed his
name. Ho starts out by sayiDg :
“Both the Galveston News and
the Houston Post, after publish-
iug Crowley’s and McDonald’s
statements and denials, and the
latter paper’s mnch abuse of my
self, decline to do the public or
myself tbe justice to publish the
truth—the record—and my state-
ment as herein presented . . .
The Post was so unfair as to cut
out a part of an interview with
me, which appeared in the Post
of the 14th, where I denied that
the Post had correctly represented
the oharges against Crowley in
its issue of the 10th, thereby leav-
ing my interview in such shape
that the pablic might infer that
1 aoqaiessed in the correctness of
the Post’s stutement of the Bos-
ton charges.’’
He starts ont by making the
complaint that the Galveston
News and Houston Post would
not recognize his effusion and
print it. Well, of course they
would not. They are deoent pap-
ers, and don’t want snob nasty rot
in their columns. But Mr. Terry
takes the old fashioned method of
the pbamphlet, just like the pat-
ent medicine fakirs.
Mr. Crowley then referred to
that part of the pamphlet which
states that its author is reliably
informed that Crowley has threat-
ened to see that all notaries who
vote against him are not confirm-
ed by the next State Senate, and
that one of Crowley’s supporters
had threatened people who favor
tbe drainage law tbat if they op-
pose Crowley he will oppose the
proposed drainage bill. The spea
ker denied this and challenged
Mr. Terry to name his reliable in
formant. Mr. Crowley staled how-
ever, that while he wee not re-
sponsible for what his friends did,
still he did not believe any one of
them had so little sense as to
make such a threat. He theu re
ferred to the charge in the pamph-
let relative to his arrest in 1885
by Offloer Emmett and read the
following atlidavit:
State of Texes, Galveston coun-
ty ; Before me, william R. John-
son, a notary publio in and for tbe
county of Galveston and the state
of Texas, residing in the city of
Galveston, duly commissioned sod
sworn, on this day personally ap-
peared W. P, Emmett, well known
to me, who, being by me duly
sworn on oath declares: On the
the 18th day of May, 1882, I was
on tbe polioe force of the city of
Galveston, on duty nn Market
street, and remember that there
was some trouble with a man from
tbe country who claimed to bave
lost a ring, which I afterward
found ont was in the hands of one
Kelly, a haok driver, who had tak-
en it in fun. Miles Crowley was
in tbe crowd and had been drink-
ing and I took him to the station
and preferred a charge against
him for disorderly conduct and I
made no other charge against
him. On reference to the police
blotter, I find a cbsrge sgainst
Milee Crowley on the 18th day of
May, 1886, for theft and ssy name
signed to the charge as the offloer
preferring the charge. I declare
the signature to be a forgery and
that I did not sign my nsme 90
said blotter, and I never preferr-
ed a oharge against Miles Crow-
lay at any time for theft
(Signed.) W, f. Bmumr.
ial aeal, this 26th day of October,
1894, at my offloe in tbe oity of
Galveaton, Texas.
Wm. R. Johnson,
Notary Pnblio,
“80 you see,” Mr. Crowley con-
tinned, “that tbe only seriooa
charge baa after all fallen to tbe
ground. That is the only oharge
against me of a serious natnre
and it has fallen. But there are
other miDor charges,’’ and be took
them up one at a time. “He char-
ges tbat I admitted I left Maesa
cbuselts on account of being ao
cused of a hellish crime against a
woman. Now, fellow eitizeus, I
bave been here for a long time,
aud am pretty well known, aud
during tbat time bave had chival-
ry enough to keep away from the
women. There is nothing in it.”
Referring to the charge that hit
friends bad attempted lo with-
diaw him from the race for Con
gress, he said: “1 went into the
raue in good faith, and when my
friends came to me with those re-
ports I told them there was noth
ing in them. After consultation
they thought it better for me to
withdraw, and I told them 1 did
not want to withdraw iD the face
of the fire, but said tbat if they
thought that 1 imperilled the suc-
cess of the democratic party I was
willing to step down and out, but
thet was uot my desire to do so.
80 much for that charge,”
The speaker road Mr. Terry’s
open letter to Captain McDonald,
as chairman of the democratic
county executive committee,which
letter he severely criticised, and
inquired whom the author referr-
ed to us “we.” He next took up
the charge that he was uot a dem-
ocrat, reading from the pamphlet
and stated that Mr. Terry did not
give any proof in support of his
assertion. He said tbat Mr. Ter-
ry’s statement that he was the on
ly man in the house who voted
against the separate coach law
wasfounded on his imagination.He
denied emphatically that he ever
said to anyone that he made his
living out of politics ; that be was
for Crowley aud was going to
lake care of Crowley. “Like Mr.
Terry in his charges against me, I
cannot prove it, hut 1 believe that
he stated a talsehood when he
said I made snch statement.’’
The speaker also branded as
false the charge that he had ever
claimed to be the leader of Gal-
veston democracy, and ridiculed
the idea of snch a thing. He far
tlier denied that he had ever con-
trolled the politics of the Fifth
ward, or that he had swuug any
delegation from Clark to Hogg.
He then teferred to his nominat-
ion at Uallettsville as follows: ‘We
went to Uallettsville to the con
gressioual convention, stayed
there ten days voting for Gresh-
am. Laue’s men had sworn that
Gresham should not be nominat-
ed or elected, and Gresham’s men
swore that Lane should not, and
after nine or ten days they finally
concluded to compromise on me.
Now Terry states that I obtained
(he nomination by treachery and
fraud. He refers to his equity
book and says fraud is known by
its badges, and tbat there are
some badgeR in this ease; that in
1892 1 opposed Gresham; that I
boasted be could Dot seoure the
nomination ; that Captain McDon-
ald, my principal supporter, was
also opposed to Gresham in 1892,
and that we both continued our
open opposition to Gresham until
three days before the primaries.
That is untrne for Captain McDo-
nald was for Gresham in 1892,and
voted and worked for him. I nev-
er was opposed to Gresham and
made a manly stand for him at
Uallettsville.’’
Mr. Crowley read from the
pamphlet that portion referring
to the caucus and staled that the
resolution read that each voting
precinct in the county should
select one delegate. “Now,
would I have auy influence out-
side of the Fifth ward! How
much influence could one man
have in a great convention when
each ward selected her own man t
The delegates from the precincts
of Galveston were Galveston men,
snch as Boysen, Rhodes, Rey-
mershoffer, Allen, Harris, John I).
Rogers and others. I cannot see
how there was any treachery on
tny part in that caucus by putting
up a delegation in my own inter-
est, when all of these men were
for Gresham. It was sqnare deal-
ing with everybody and Gresham
had eight or nine delegates out of
the flfteeu, his own and nearest
friends. Terry goes on to state
what Lane said in the News of
July 4. which is immaterial, aud
he further says that I went to
Gresham, told him he could not
get the nomination and asked him
to pull down In my favor. All
this is false. It was Gresham’s
own proposiiinn. v\ hen he had
found he could not chtain the
nomination, when we held our
caucus, Mr. Gresham stated in
the presence of the Galveston
delegation that if Crowley conld
secure the 23 votes of Lane, Gal
veston county would give her fif.
teen votes to him and thereby se
cure his nomination. I would
like to know, in tbe parlance of
Mr. Terry, how much treachery
or fraud there is in obtaining a
nomination in a manner like that!
It just happened that way. Light-
ning struck the scrub instead of
the oak,; that’s all there Is in it.”
Mr. Crowley continued to read
from tbe pamphlet and discussing
the charges as he went along.
Coming,to his Galveston record,
he said it was trne hs had had
some fights in Galveston, and he
proceeded to take np and explain
the oharges made against him in
Galveston. “Terry has made it
appear tbat I was the aggressor
in every ffght, whioh is not trne.
I came to Galveston in. 1878 and
left again in 1877. In 1878 I was
punching cows and when I went
back to Boston I had a barrel of
money, more then I ever bad be
for or einoe. I wanted to aee tbe

there is in it. When I earns beck

bition aud began to save my mon-
ey. I oenld hardly read or write.
I got a political job. If I hadn’t
got tbe job I probably wonlfbave

convict, but be is mistaken. I
served my time ont. When I was
12 years of age I served three
months. It did not hurt me. I
gained wisdom by it and I never
wanted to go there again.’’
Referring to Mr. Terry’s charge
tbat be is a professional politisn
Mr. Crowley said Cleveland, Coke,
Mills aud Culberson were profess
ional politiciaus, and be wanted
to know if they were a curse to
the country. “After all,” said the
speaker, “Mr. Terry is all right.
He is giving me a fair start in the
world. He tells the people that
eight yeurs ago I was a common
laborer, went to the legialature.
and two years afterwards to the
state Senate, aud am now the
the democratic nominee for con-
gress. He says, ‘Boys, if we don’t
slop him, if we don’t crush him,
lie may become the political boss
of Texas.’ He seems to object to
my stopping at Salge’s hotel
at $2 per day, when other mem-
bers of tbe legislature were stop-
ping at cheaper places. I was ma-
king $5 per day, and 1 tbonght I
conld afford it. I thought lowed
that much to tbe people wbo pot
me there. I thought if any one
shonld have occasion to cell on
me about legislative matters they
could come to a hotel to see me,
if not te the capitol. I suppose
Mr. Terry thinks I ought to have
stopped at a wagon yard. Fellow
citizens 1 have gone through with
this pamphlet as briefly aud as
well as I could, aud I don’t sup-
pose there is aoy man in this town
who believes that any ot the char-
ges made against me could Dot al-
so be made against auy man
brought up under the circnmstan
cts of my early life. My father died
when I was about 3 years old^My
mother struggled along as best
she could until 1 was 6 or 7 and
able to sell newspapers on the
the streets of Boston. When I
was 11 she married again, aud I
went away from home. I left
without intelligence and without
education. Had you been placed
in my position doubtless you
would have beeD as wild as 1 was.
About eight yearsago I reformed.
I became inspired with ambition.
It is tbe proud boast of our Amer-
ican citizenship that the poorest
man in the laud can aspire to the
highest office. Who is president

country the poor boy Is the equal
of the rich inuu’s sou. He needs
no blue blood in his veins to ein-
blazen his path. If be has energy
and coarage he is going to gel
there.”
Mr. Crowley said he was glad
to know that Mr. Terry gave him
credit for keeping faith with his
political friends. “1 am glad to
know tbat in all this great oasis of
crime he finds one little spot of
virtue.” He concluded his re
marks by complimenting Mr. Ter-
ry on his astuteness and observ-
ing that with all his ability he had

Catarrh of the stomach causes

or indigestion. It usually results
from catarrh iu the throat, but
sometimes occurs in people wbo
never had catarrh elsowhere. Tbe
symptoms of dyspepsia are : liver
complaint, billiousneas, sour stom-
ach, water-brash, bloating after

many cases, low spirits, dizzy

O. 8. McQuillan, Spring Hill,
Iowa, writes : “Four yoars ago
last fall my stomach, without any
previous warning, refused to per-
form its functions, and I soon lost
streugtb. During this time food
was forced through my stomach
by cathartics. With flesh wasted
away, strength exhausted so that
it took all my energy to even get
into a bath tub, hopes all gone, I
began to take Pe-ru naand Man a-

Dr. Hartman gave roe. In a short
time I could eat nourishing food,
and the piles, kidney trouble and
constipation disappeared. Flesh,
strength, and a splendid appetite
retnrued, and I went to work.”
