/ ra5,ba that they have some complaint
II ssninst the Democracy of Tarrant county,
,s,f fney do not prefer 10 charge that the
,sn,oeracy ofthis county have abandoned
he nrinciples of the party and adopted
|sfhffs subversiye OF true liberty or that
|eonld prevent the full and perfect enjoy
|ncntof private property. What, then, Is
|he complaint? And why do they cut
|oose from Democratic moorings and
|irlft but into an unknown political sea,
[uli Of drift-wood and dead and decaying
|imbdr, and organize separate, distinct
lind antagonistic partyI One OF the
Reasons assigned why the organization
.xists is that they are anti-monopolists.
Areyou opposed to any political party2
WIN are you banded together in an or
|tanization of anti monopolists, separate
|4iid apart from the Democratic party?
|Weacn't know!
Why are you antl-monopolists2 We
|don,t know; but we are monopolists.
"A Elittering generality. 1t Is to be sup
|po4ed that they intended this as an indi-
|rett thrust (and they are good at this)
|As nc Democratic party of this county.
HI ID, we parry the blow, and ask, where
|did'you get this sound idea of the peo-
|pie' welfare2 Some of you by reason
III your political faith (Which is well
knbwn) do not believe the doctrine you
|breach: but, instead, have always be-
|let ed in centralizing power in the hands
|of the few, for the oppression of the
|m&ny-hence with those of you, the idea
|lsadvanced Though not adopted) as q
|snare to catch the unwary. To others Of
|fohr party who were once members of
1.-The Democratic party OF this county, are
|you not simply voicipg forth an idea in
culcated in you through the benign prin-
efflas aud teachings OF the Democratic
|party of this county, Truth, though
|snppressed, II allowed to rise, win
|cpeak out in thunder tones yea, a
|th0nsand times yea! Can this
|new party point out single in
|stence where the Democratic party OF
|ihis county have shown by their words
Tor Notions that they were monopohsts, or
lin sympathy with them2 If they can,
|thBn let them name the instance: and
Were not then me mbers of the Democratic
|pafty and did not vote for and support
those who brought about these monopo-
|llesf II you were members, and did so
|vcte, and your complaint is of past CON
|duct of that party, why then object to a
|sfate of affairs which you helped to bring
|abnot and why cry out against the party
tguilty," when you are equally so? Are
lyon sure that reform Of principle is
what you want? II SO, could you not as
|Web have accomplished it by remaining
In The ranks Of the Democratic party?
kor though they may have failed in ac-
rbplishing the result that you are seek
|lnn still you knew that they heartily
Favored such a doctrine, therefore you
|wQnld have had much easier task in
|5rlDging about that result with them
|han you would in leaving them and
|anitlng with another party and trying to
fopFert them over to way of thinking
Inherent to what they arr from principle
Rnd practice used to; and TO doctrine
|which they would not honestly sub
Ecrabe, though they might claim
|os in order to get you to help them get
into the offices OF Tarrant county.
Besides, II you could ultimately accom-
Ilish this object withthe Republicans and
|sreep hackers, with whom you have afiiN-
lied presumably for that purpose-you
|ould accomplish it much quicker with
|he democratic party. And this Is desir-
|ble, for what the people most desire is
|mmt date and effectual change for GOOD.
Ind you claim TO be fand for the people
md hence | know when you reflect a mo. |
bent you will ind that your proper Mace |
| Rack with the Democratic party which |
lou have left. Therefore, the Democrats
|arfy invites you back into its ranks. and
loss not expect to have long to wait he.
Ire hearing that you have fastened back
|om the camps Of the Republicans and
|feenbackers with much quicker stem
