Dallas and the Gazette.

Dallas and the Gazette.
In the eyes of THE GAZETTE 1t Is helnous
sin TO have been born or to live in Dallas.--
Dallas Mercury.
The above from the leading journal
of our esteemed sister city is most un-
kind, excessively ungrateiul and very
false. Dallas has been, and is now,
great favorite with THE GAZETTE.
THE GAZETTE prints daily column
or more of Dallas local news, detailing
the. hopes, the dreams and the accom-
pishments of that town; thus giving
them publicity they could not other
wise attain.
THE GAZETTE has done more to
arouse the sleepers of Dallas than all
other agencies combined.
THE GAZETTE gave Dallas seven
newspapers week.
THE GAZETTE printed full report
of the cattlemen's convention, and
pulled Dallas.
THE GAZETTE printed complete par
ticulars of the Editorial association,
even including notice of that
'lunch.n All the Dallas newspapers
must remember that THE GAZETTE
has alluded to the "lunch."
THE GAZETTE is even said to be the
organ of the Dallas bullionaires.
The GAZETTE, while unselfishly re-
framing from the advocacy of any of
its own people for Office, has endeav-
ored to properly "size up" the political
pegs in Dallas and to find a political
hole for.as many as possible.
1t advocated Commissioner Elliott,
a Dallas man, for the place he occu-
pies.
1t is booming Capt. Sterett, Dallas
man, for delegate at large to Chicago
and for the legislature, and this, de-
spite the opposition of the gentleman
to the bullionaires, of whom THE GA
zErTE is said to be the organ.
| 1t is booming Hon. Olin Welborn,
a Dallas man, for congress.
1t is not THE GAZETTE's fault that
there are more political pegs in Dallas
than there are political holes in Texas:
or, that some of the pegs are too small
to fit the holes.
Now, what return does THE GA
zErrE's home, "the place where the
panther laid down. get for all its
unselfish devotion to Dallas?
Has any Dallas newspaper ever had
single good word for any Fort Worth
man for any office?
Has not Fort Worth been reyiled
daily by Dallas newspapers?
Did not Dallas newspaper openly
espouse the cause Of Houston as against
Fort Worth for the Democratic con.
vention?
Did not Dallas newspaper attempt
TO array all the religious denomina.
lions OF Texas, except the Missionary
baptists, In opposition to Fort Wortha
DID not Dallas paper, after receiv-
ing the 18th favor from The GAZETTE
ana because it could not extort the
looth, tell us we had "bark ON our
shins:n
do not parties interested in DalIas
real estate connive at the running of
excursion trains by Fort Worth in tbe
dark hours Of the night, or actually
contrive it-so that this city's superi-
ority may not be seen?
No; no. 1t is not sin to be horn
IN Dailas, for no one can helm ma,
Dut II is grievous mistake for any
ia'r-minded, public-spirited man To
iiVe' alter he Is born, in town where
there Is more selfishness to the souare
ihch and more slender political peps
ihan anywhere else on the American
) continent.
LIE GAZETTE has labored for Dali
las. Twill never weary of laboring
ior Dallas. But, really, its duty to
Other sections and to other politicians
VIII prevent this paper from seeking
F" apportion all the offices in Texas
among the aspirants of Dallas Tha
truth Is there are not offices enough
70 go around, If we did try.

Perhaps the Mercury might find snit
abe political holes for all its political
pegs by application to his excellsno,,
