day that his opponent. Mr., Bailey, is flying I'M
der false colors. He states that the latter came
to see him st Sherman to arrange a joint
vass of Collin county. 1t was Just at the mo-
ment when Judge Hare was ordered back to
Washington, his presence being required here
to keep the Republicans from enacting obiec-
tionable legislation. every Democratic vote be-
ing necessary to that end. Afterwards Mr..
Bailey published notice of his intention to
vass the county and invited Judge Hare to
joint discussion, knowing, of course, that Hare
could not meet him. Judge Hare thinks in view
OF this position of which Bailey was well aware,
the published notices are deception on the pub
lie and do injustice TO him Hare. In order to be
fair in this matter Bailey sh Ould have stated the
exact facts and the public could then Judge for
itself whether Judge Hare was Sinking any
duty responsibility in the campaign. His
presence was necessary here and ne was obliged
to return He does not fear any Joint debate
with Bailey on any subject, and if differently
situated would meet him in joint discussion.
