False Charges Against olin wellborn-
They will Bring Their own Recoil.
To the Editor of the Herald:
DALLAS, June 10, lSS2.-In Yesterday,
HERALD there appeared an article over the
signature OF Record" in which is found
the following paragraph
THE people of Collin and Dallas conn.
ties need not be reminded that on the dayf
the precinct conventions were held at Plano
ana richardson, to select delegates to the
county conventions, which, in turn, were
10 select representatives to the congress.
sional convention, that shrewd Stock
agent OF the Central railroad, of
which Wellborn was then the attorney
was sent to each of said precincts, along
with numerous railroad hands, many Of
whom did not live in the precincts to con.
troll the same in the interest of Wellborn,
and after hot contest did succeed in con.
trolling both precincts for him when he was
not the choice of one-fourth the good
and permanent citizens of said precincts.
We challenge denial of the above facts by
any of Mr.. Wellborns friends"
! was present, Mr.. Editor, and partici-
pated in he proc lings of the conventions
alluded to by Record /. e., so far as they
appertain to Richardson, and beg leave to
say in justification of the good peo.
pie of Richardson and vicinity that
there is couched in this short
paragraph precisely as many un.
truths as there are statements OF pretended
facts, and as citizen OF Richardson pre-
cinct. accept Records challenge and de.
ny his statement that said convention was
controlled in Mr.. Wellborn's favor by a
"ehIewd stock" agent of the Central rail.
road, and numerous railroad hands" "af.
ter q hot contest" waged for that purpose.
and say, that II is wholly without founda.
ton either In truth or in fact. There was
no contest of any kind waged for or against
Mr.. Wellborn in said convention as II stood
II not unanimously certainly by great and
9,verwhelming majority in favor Of Mr..
Wellborn. His name was not once men.
toned In said convention by ''stock. agent, u
railroad hand" nor permanent citizen, y
except when motion was made TO in.
struct delegates to support him in the
county convention, which motion was
adopted without demonstration of any
kind on the part of permanent citizen .
stock agent or railroad hand"
That there was "hot contest waged In
that convention, will not deny, but not In
Mr. Wellborn's interest, and 1 defy Rec.
ord" to prove II upon the testimony Of any
permanent citizen" railroad 6andn or
stock agent" worthy Of credence.
There was hot contest carried on In
that convention between the partizans of
Throckmorton and Hubbard, candidates MT
that time for governor; but Mr.. Welborn's
interests orprospects were not supposed 10
90 enhanced or jeopardized In any way by
the results Of that fight, nor was this con.
test waged by a stock agent" or "railroad
hand" but by permanent citizens.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor. permit me 10
say that II Records" article, taken alto.
gether, Is as barren Of truth as is the para.
graph quoted above, and II Il Is proposed 10
Gust Mr.. Wellborn from his seat In con.
gress by the manipulation and circulation
Of such stuif as the above, my opinion IA
Mr.. Wollborn will be sent back to con.
gress. J,L,F.
