THE GREENBACKERS.
---2
A county convention of Green-
backers was held at the Institute in
this place last Saturday evening,
and about a half dozen delegates
were present, representing probably
as many more voters and almost the
full strength of that party in Kauf-
man county.
Their proceeding were harmoni-
ous, but devoid of the usual routine
of business generally indulged in by
conventions.
The didn’t seem to care particular-
ly who acted as delegates, and took
no action to find out.
Hon, J. K. Bumpas, pronouncing
him a “fraud and a traitor to the
Greenback cause," and that he be
published as such in the organ of
the party.
This was done because Mr. Bum-
pas refused to be sacrificed as the
nominee of that party for Congress
from this district.
One witty delegate proposed to
knock the Bump off of Mr. Bumpas’
name and let him be known under
a more appropriate one.
These resolutions created some
sensation, and two of the delegates
advised and urged moderation in the
language used against their former
leader, but a majority favored the
more forcible(7) language, and the
resolutions were adopted.
A temperance resolution was de-
feated because it would reflect upon
the Greenback candidate for Lieu-
tenant Governor.
Speeches were made denouncing
both the Democratic and Republican
party, and particularly the former,
for present financial condition of the
country.
The manner in which these speech-
es were received and applauded by
the convention showed that they,
like young mocking birds, had their
mouths open ready to receive any-
thing that was dropped into them,
regardless of whether it was true or
“ not.
The convention meets at Kaufman
next Saturday to nominate candi-
dates for county officers.
Taking the actions of this so-called
convention as a criterion to judge
the way the campaign will be con-
ducted by the Greenbackers, there
can be no mistake but what they in-
tend to fight the Democratic party
and disorganize it as much as possi-
ble.
All true Democrats should stand
solid against the Greenback move-
ment, and use their utmost endeav-
ors to reclaim the tew of their party
who have been led astray by the
delusion that their wrongs cannot
be righted by that grand old party.
Bonham, Texas, was visited by a
destructive fire last Thursday .morn-
ing. and the postoffice and several
busicess buildings buried.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
Adressing
Ge which is at once
a gree a ble,
20 healthy, and ef-
feetual for pre-
anserine serving the
‘ hair. Faded or
PR, gray hair is soon
72202—11 restored to its
TIPoriginal color,
with the gloss and freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Noth-
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul-
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan-
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambric,
and yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.
