Furnian, a. ne has alreaoy thus admin.
istered il? Why not come into the
primaries with ali Democrats and, on
Joint conference, nominate men who
will thus act, after the majority Of the
people have said by their voice Ia open
assembly that the men they present 10
you, ave such men7 But you seek an ex-
cuse by saying that ''you have read as
out OF the prlmaries.n The Democracy
of the whole county hold those primaries
and some Of your members are Of that
party, and there being no Democrats ex-
cluded, they are invited, and have a
right, and II is their duty as good Demo-
Gratis, TO be there and they will be there,
unless they have gone back on
their party, and are antagonizing
them, and this they saw thew are
not doing. Those of the knights
of Labor and the Farmers alliance who
have not been Democrats or affiliated
with the Democratic party heretofore,
and every other person without regard TO
his past party affiliations are invited to
be present and take part in those prima-
ries; and TO do so you are only asked to
agree to abide by the action Of the ma
tority In selecting persons TO I'LL the
various Offices, openly ia the presence Of
all, and where all can have
voice. This is fair to them, for
being part and parcel OF the
meeting they can aid in choosing those
men and prevent majority in favor of
improper persons, ana can thereby get
fair, just and impartial men-which Is all
your party claim to want. The Demo-
Gratis have thrown wide open the door
they have not made the test of admission
to the primaries so hard that man
would have TO sacrifice any right in order
to enter Surely these parties, uniting
aad coop rating in these primaries, would
be apt to find the right men for the Of
fees; and having found them, could aid
you In accomplishing that which you are
seeking, viz; the fair, just and equitable
administration of county affairs alike to
all. But perhaps you win say that prob
ably the Democrats could not find the
right men. | know not why they could
not, for they have the same means Of
Judging OF mans intelligence, honesty
and Integrity as you have; and these are
understood to be the qualifications for
Office. If you still insist, however, not
withstanding this assurance, that the
Democrats cannot find the right men,
then l would like to know how the
Peoples party are going TO know when
they have found the righte mn. What are
to be his qualifications in order to receive
the Endorsement of your partyl If you
are simply looking for the right man, and
not the member of any political party,
then surely he can be found at the prima-
rles, II they are seeking man in every
way qualified for the discharge OF their
/ official duty, then they have already found
one in the person Of Hon. Sam Furman,
| for they have already said, ia selecting
him first, that he Is the best man for
county Judge, and he will be at the prima-
ries. They have said that he was at one
| time qualified for the office, and would
administer the laws fairly and equitably
! Does the fact that he refused to be led
astray by the siren voice of the tempter,
and to become candidate of their polltl.
cal party, now disqualify him? If so,
why? II they, as party, want to make a
clean sweep OF the offices of Tarrant
county, and did so want when they or.
ganized-snd 1t is claimed by
some that 1t was for this that
they organized and that they
are non-political and not antagonistic to
the Democratic party-and the officers
then holding were then unfit and dis
qualified why do they select the present
county attorney as their candidate? And
how did he become qualified and suitable
for that Office after he Joined the Peoples
party? DO they manufacture officers?
Or is that party such, by reason of the
different interests which it represents,
that one must become a member of it TO
see, know and fully understand It's oh
Jects and in order to become qualified to
administer justice fairly and equitably?
Ia order TO administer II fairly, must he
/ do with n via 90 10 d.
party2 And does he have to administer
it in that way before he can get their
support? And If he should administer
the laws with view TO their interest.
would he administer 1t TO all people
alikeg Or would he thereby prejudice
the rights Of majority of the people?
Would the Offices then be conducted In
the interest Of the whole people and for
the good Of society," Is It not fact that
they require a man TO be member
OF that party and against the Democratic
party before they will.vote for him for Of
nceE II 1t is not, then why DO they not
support Sam Furman? And why did they
reject him when he notified them that he
would be n candidate of the Democratic
partyr Then, II they did reject him be-
cause he announced his intention of be-
coming candidate of the Democratic
party, they, the Peoples party, are po-
litical party, and antagonistlc to and
lighting the Democratic party. The toe
sin OF war was sounded when they threw
aside Sam Furman, and the new party
stand out to-day the avowed enemy OF the
Democratic party. Now, members of the
Democratic party everywhere In the coun-
ty, the issue is before you buckle ON
your armor and to the fray, and score an
other victory for the Democratic p2rty of
Tarrant county.
ltds the work OF the demagogue to in.
duce those who are members of the Peo- |
pies party to believe that they have
some substantial grievance against |
society and the Democratic party; as well
as 1t Isl to try to make them believe that
they have some reasonable ground of
complaint against the officers OF this

particular instance and OF this the PEG.
