THE Notwithstanding
Some Suggestions to Our Congress
sional Representative.
FORT WORTH, TEN, April 20, 1885.

To the Editor OF the Gazette:
Oflate there has been a growing dis
satisfaction on the part Of the citizens
of Fort Worth as to the recommends
ton of our representative in congress
regarding the postmastership. This
dissatisfaction is not 80 much in con-
sequence OF the opposition to any par
ticular gentleman, but wish to have
a fair choice as to who shall be their
future postmaster, and as there are
several good candidates for the posi-
ton, this can only be had by holding
an election, when the voters may
have an opportunity of expressing
their preference at the ballot.box.
1t is the people OF Fort Worth who
are most deeply interested In this mat
ter, and not our congressional repre-
sentative, further than to evince his
preference for an individual friend.
Therefore we ask, as right, TO grant
US the same privilege in the selection OF
our postmaster as we had In the Sc
Letting of him as our representative In
congress-. In our Judgment we are
simply demanding our rights. Other
Democratic representatives. in different
parts OF this and other states have
granted this wish to the people In the
sele elton OF their poetmasterF, and
| there is no Just reason why we should
be denied this privilege.
Mr.. Wellborn has made an able and
popular representative, and the peo-
pie OF Fort Worth have felt proud In
| giving him their warm support, but
| he should be careful; for in placing
his fayorites in positions of trust In
opposition 10 the free will Of the pe0-
| pie the probabilities are there will be
such an uprising of public opinion as
TO cause them TO reverse their decision
at the meeting OF the
next convention. Mr. Wellborn will
then see his mistake when too late TO
| rectify Il. II is natural and COM
mendable for a gentleman to be true
To his friends and endeavor TO com.
pensate those who have rendered him
Valuable services, but he should not
do 80 at the cost of Others who have
been equally as true, or rendered him
like services. Mr.. WelIborn 10 no
doubt aware OF the great annoyance
and dissatisfaction we have had in the
postoffice here during thep past admins.
trations, and 1t is to be hoped he Will moi
assume this responsibility, but forego
personal considerations for q friend
and leave the entire selection 70 the
people, where II properly belongs.

An immense crowd assembled at the

immense canopy was filled and hum
dreds stood on the outside, while many
went home for want of standing room.
The services were opened in the
usual way, with singing and prayer,
and collection taken. The text was
announced from Matthew, 9th chapter
and 40th verse "If thou be the Christ,
come down from the crossn The dis
course was addressed to the thinking
classes, and especially to akeptics who
were challenged to prove that Jesus
was not the Christ. Twenty-Five
prophesies in the old Bible and their
fulfillment in the new Testament were
read to prove the divinity of the
Messiah, and numerous illustrations
were handled in mastery manner to
simplify the leading propositions. The
whole sermon was clear, logical and
forcibly presented, but nothing short
