Dr. URwITz, Provisional Secretary, Self
constituted Republican Executive
Central Committee"
My DEAR DOCTOR:-I have read in
the Dallas News what purports to be
letter of yours, rendering to Mr..
Bartlett Sinclair, of Dallas, the place
of encouragement on bogus ticket
which you purpose to bring forth in
opposition to the regular ticket nom-
mated at San Antonio on the 5th inst.
by the grardest convention of repub-
llcans ever held in the state of Texas.
Those who know the sterling worth
OF Mr.. Sinclair and his answering
devotion to the republican party and
its principles never dOu bted for mo-
ment that he would decline the pseudo
honor which you would have foisted
upon him. Now, sir, have you careful
ly weighed consequences which may
attend your contemplated action? If
not, then / would suggest that you re-
tire to your study and "pull ourself
together" and if you do not then pre-
scribe more sensible remedy for the
disease with which you say the re.
publican party of Texas is afflicted
oiah VLo olic olCIcu III yOuI pIouuu-
ciamento dated Headquarters of the
Republican Executive Central Com
mittee, DIR. M. Urwitz, Secretary,
Houston, Texas, Sept. Is, $780," the
republicans of this state will be en-
forced to regard you as political
quack. Being a surgeon phy stefan,
you are, of course, well up in embryo
logy, and would not venture to i'm
agine risk the Caesarian operation in
anticipated childbirth If the practice
of the honest midwife would subserve
the end. The heroic remedy in very
extreme case is not to be dis
puted, but you sir, are the
first of your profession to advise
decapitatiOn for diseased body that
the head might live. 1 am told that
your mind is well stored with the POI
litical precepts of the willy Italian
Machiavelli, and Colonel Newcomb
has dubbed you in the white Re-
publican" the Gambetta of the last
republican state conven ton at San
Antonio. All this and perhaps more
might be said of you as an
astute politician on the European
plan" but unfortunately your pronun-
ciamento to the republicans ofTexas
exhibits you as yet in the knicker-
bockers of American politics. In
that document you would seem to
have closed your eyes to the fact that
this grand republic is government
of the people, by the people, and tor
the people" and not for any special
class, and as republica you must adj
NIT this, or the standard of your repub
licanism is a "fiaunting lie" In your
zeal to advance a cause which appears
to have color of right in the abstract
you overlook the fact that more than
one-fourth of the delegates to the re-
publican state convention at San An
tonic which you berate in unmeasur-
ed terms voted to seat the delegation
| OF which you were member, believ-
ing that it represented the intelli-
gence and virtue of the party in Har-
! ris county, and that those delegates
captured the convention on the third
day, in the nomination of state
ticket, and election of a chairman OF
the state executive committee and
none contributed to this desirable re-
suit more than the patriotic negro
delegates from the rural districts.
The republican party of Texas is
now on its feet for the first time and
through it's state convention, held at
San Antonio, presents ticket for
the suffrages of the people that is in
personnel the equal if not superior tC
the one offered by the democratic
party.
In conclusion / would admonish
you that the road which you ask re-
publicans TO travel in the coming
campaign is beset with pitfalls and
leads to treaehery and the democratic
camp. Very respectfully,
n MATTnV
