70 the Editor OF The Dallas Herald;
For the especial comfort Of the two
Fort Worth papers and all Others IN
Vnrrant and Ellis who were 80 Jealous
of Dallas and Dallas county for three or
four months before the election, allow
me to call their attention to the follow
ing facts: ~,
From the beginning to the end Of the
cpnvass they We're assured by TIE
HERALD, by our county COMMITTEES ana
NV the general tone of the public that
there was no understanding, no con-
cert and no desire on the part OF DALLAS
county to take advantage OF her supe-
rior voting strength Though it was
fully equal to TGrrunt and ELLIS COM
| binrd, In order TO mOnOpllIC the del
ogation on District But the green
eyed imp 80 possessed the minds of the
Fort Worth editors that they would
not believe short of the resurrection
of the dend.
Now look Mt the figures. Mr.. Ferris,
of Ellis, received in Dallas county full
" 800 votes more than he got in his
own county. Dallas gave him 1923
votes, which il AL more than the
average vote OF Mpssrs. Mccoy, Good
night aud Veal, and within - of the
vote Of Major Brown, the foremost
man in the county What say the
Jealous inclined in Fort Worth and
Waxahatchie TO this manifestation Of
the people Of Dallas. The result, be
| il also understood, IL about the same in
the city rs in the county of Dallas.
On the other hand, WaXahnchie
gave Ferris 81, (less by l03 than lac
got in Dallas), while they only gave
Mccoy 81, and Brown 81. That's the
way they tOicd.
Again, Dallas county gave DarnelI
go, Wallace 73-total, ~, more than
either one got in his own county, and
DarnelIs vote alone, is 80 greater than
tho average vote of Mcssrs. Mccoy,
Goodnight and Veal Per contra
Fort Worth gave Dnrnell 3O6 while
Mccoy got but ll6, and Brown
only 81, Veal b., and Goodnight
Il. Dallas alone gave DarneIl III
Wallace l0-total 300, more than foul
times the average vote Fort Wcrll
cast for our candidates, and much more
than double the number she gave Me
Coy, the highest of the Dallas can
didates.
The question arises where did jenl
ousy give and move and have its be
ingw Can tine Fort Worth papers an,
longer assai Dallas? IL not WnNa
hnchic II icctiG bit ashamed? II Judg
Ferris might be permitted 20 answer
we guoss he would say ayes, n Iectc =
one more thought for future iii
gestion. Mr.. Wallace, Tnrrants nom
inee, received only 10 votes IN Dalla
} county--no more, no less. Very well
We undertake. to say, by all the test
. ON the subject, that those Is votes yer
nearly coincide with the number 9
: men in this county who favored II nom
inati0u per- 81, and that the Democrat
who opposed it are indicated by Tn
I decisive voice Of about ,b3S to7 70. Mex
a time let not II little handful of iNcol
sidcrate men, however well meaning
= undertake. to disregard and ovcuid
, the overwhelming voice OF the people
Nominations are all right when need
y fnl to the success OF sound principle
!, and ut such times Democrats will n
ways rally. In this case and in TIA
{ District every one (almost) knew thel
! was no such necessity, and the poop
wouldn't rally worth cent.
DEMOCRACY.
