DALLAS w. TYLER.


In the Matter Of the supreme Court.
In u few days the present Legisla.
ture will BE- called upon to determine
the important question whether the
Supreme and Appellate courts shall be
located 1T Dallas or Tyler. This meas.
ure Is OF vast Importance 10 the people
OF this part OF the State, aud we ask
that each member OF the Legislature
shall ponder we'll ere he casts his vote.
Over one hundred thousand voters are
interested In the issue presented, aud
they will hold to strict account
each member voting upon this ques.
ton. The interest and welfare of this
section OF the State can not be
longer ignored or dlsregarded. That
Dallas IL justly entitled to said courts
by Photographed location is too APP
parent to DO controvcrted. That fully
three-sourths Of the people Interested
In these courts are IN favor OF this city
us the place where they should DO To-
Gated, cannot be disputed by any one
familiar with the wishes Of our people,
That Dallas has better accommsda-
tons for the courts aud for the people
attending the same than Tyler, Is a
fact apparent TO all who are familiar
With the two places. That Dallas OF
fers free Of all charge to the State The
use OF one room Of her magnificent
Courthouse, In which to hoit
the courts for the term oftweDty Yeas
can he atlested by reference TO the 81.
der of the County Court to that effect.
That she has better railroad facilities
than any other towu In Northern
Texas, no one dare deny. With all
these advantages In favor OF Dallas
aud none In favor OF Tyler, permit ~
to ask, why is 1t that certain member
Of the Legislature prefer Tyler L
Dallas? Their constituents In many
instances are not interested In thesi
Courts (being In other districts), ant
yet they misrepresent the people il
this section Of the State, aud whill
pretending to legislate for the entir,
State and for the good Of majority o
the people, they favor Tyler In ,iirec
violation OF the wishes Of three-fourth
of the inhabitants OF northern Texas
We call upon the voters OF northern
Texas 10 note well the vote upon thi
question. DO not forget II la all alte
time. Aud while they may be reuig
diless now to correct or redress th
great wrong perpetrated by Ger
tain members voting against their Ia
terest, yet there may come tim
when. they will have the delightful
privilege OF .repudiating these memheil
at the ballot box as unworthy repre-
sentatlves OF an enlightened people
whose wishes In this instance they 4
persIstently ignored. and whose utter
eat they 50 wilfnlly disregarded.
To those members who are 80 ga
lantly battling for our rights IN refer
reference to these courts, we wOul
say our people feel that
debt OF gratitude Is due thel
which eau not be too highly rewardt
In after years, but for those who /
against them, In this hour Of Ella
they have nothing but bitter curse
and a holy Indignation which ebo
