10 the Editor OF the Dallas Herald
DEAR SIR; In view of the approach

all good citizens interested in the po-
litical welfare of the country to bring
before the people such men us are most
competent to fill the position of repre-
sentatives of our great and growing
state. With all due Difference to the
honorable gentlemen whose names
have already been spoken of by their
friends in connection with the position
in question, we beg leave to add to the
"roll of merit" one in every way quail
flied to fill the Office with credit to him.
self and his constltuents-General w.
H. Cabell of Dallas. His political
status is well known. His abilities
are of the highest order. In both field
and forum he has already won de-
served distinction. Whatever the post
he has been called upon to fill, it has
been done in manner satisfactory to
his supporters, Belonging emphati-
cally to the "working brigade" he
throws the whole energy of vigorous
nature into the business in hand. We
know him to be honest and faithful.
In past perils he has ever answered
"present" to the call of duty, and ty
valorous deeds, and by conscientious
support of the principles he espoused,
earned respect and position among
the tried and true. His sterling integ-
rity, independence of character, free
dom flom alliance with the corrupt or
CARNATIONS of the day, give him strong
claims to the suffrage Of the people.
Should the convention see fit to nomi-
nate him as their candidate he will
serve them as heretofore, with distin-
guished ability. Respectfully,
