Is 1t All Nonsense?
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. 1890.

NEW YORK, sept. ~, l5sO.
To the Gazette.
Your paper of the 18th contains an ex-
tract from the Commercial Bulletin OF
this city in reference to the effect which
Attorney-Geueral Hogg's unwarrauted
assault upon the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas has had upon Texas enterprises.
Your telegraph editor has seen proper to
head this extract with the caption: "AlI
Nonsense-A Funny Story Sent Out from
New York for q Purpose
Not having the pleasure of an ao-
quaintance with your correspondent in
this city, cannot say, or even imagine,
what purpose he may have had in send
ing out the extract, but one days ex-
perience in New York would convince
yourself or any other unprejudiced per-
son that the sentiment expressed IN this
paragraph in question was not ''sll nom
sense' and that there is nothing
"funny' in the situation. 1 would re-
spectfully suggest that any person who
thinks it is 'fuuny,' or that there is
anything in it to provoke the mirth Of
any Texan, that they inquire of Z. b.
Hubbard of Tyler, who has spent some
time here in the interest of his railroad;
Royal A. Ferris, e. P. Cowen or John
n. Simpson of Dallas, II. NJ. Taylor OF
MIR. Matthews, of the firm of Matthews s.
Wood, of Lampasas, or Robert Mozart
or John F. Swayne of your own city. L
could give you the names of any number
of Texans who have been here in the last
month, and who have gone home with a
very large flea in their ears. 1 don't
know how the gentlemen named will like
being referred to, but 1 have heard ex-
pressions from some of them that would
not look we'll In the columns of THE
SUNDAY GAZETTE. No, Mr.. Editor, the
question cannot be laughed down or
"pooh- poohed' successfully. It is here
to stay, and we may as well confront It
as becomes sensible business men who
have the interests of Texas at heart.
Those who are not SO extremely partisan
as to have their judgment warped, and
who love their state more than party
will vote against the commission amend
ment and for Webb Flanagan for gov
ernor, and thus administer & rebuks to
the agrarian principles that seem to
dominate in Texas at this time. For
myself, fail to see whore the fun comes
in. B. B. PADDOCK.
