And let rae say to my sub.treasury
friends who are clamoring for $50 per |
capita will 20 them 800 better.n
To leave no mistake OF his intention
as to the good money he wants, he
goes over the same ground in his speech
at Waxahachie, April II, 1892, US re-
ported by tho News
u remember wen when our southern
women used TO take their money TO
market in baskets and bring back their
vegetables In their pocketbo oks. And
when my sub-treasury friends talk 70
me about $50 per capita, go then 500
better and say give ny $500 per capita
In this connection IL Is well TO read
his views on the financial questios ex-
pressed In his open letter 10 Kos.
Barry, May q. lsgl, where he said;
"Tho 500, 1000, 900 Of gold and silver
in the country oughtto support paper
circulation Of s3,0O0,000, 900, and this
would furnish all the circulating me-
dium needed at present.
Entertaining such opinions Of Mr..
Cleveland, the great leader OF our
party, and ON all Democratic measures
and principles, Is IL any wonder that
under the sting OF disappointment and
OF Il conscious loss Of. his former pres
tige as The Warwick" no should bolt
and
TRY TO DESTROY THE PARTY 1TsELFY
He seemed first to be a candidate Tor
the nomination OF governor As the
last hope he sought, through all the
powerful instrumentalities at his com
mand, to secure one-third OF tho dele
gates, so as TO lock the convention.
Failing in this, he summoned his friends
by the train load to Houston, and there
openly declared war upon tho organized
Democracy, bolted and now attempts
to lead his former supporters intoa COM
spiracy 10 overthrow the party OF their
fathers. He even takes issue, not only
with the Democratic organization, but
with his misguided committee, who sets
forth in touching address TO the peo-
pie OF Texas the'alleged causes OF the
bolt That committee, In the most sol
emn way, bases that unjustiilnble, I'M
heard OF action upon the ruling OF the
chairman of the state Democratic exec
utiye committee, Wherein he held that
when there were two candidates for
temporary chairman, the vote should
be by II call Of the counties and not viva
voce, refusing TO entertain an appeal
from his ruling TO the assembled crowd
OF delegates, spectators and sightscers
this, the very first ruling OF the chair
man, the bolt was precipitated and per-
fected, and the justification therefor
based by the committee, Up TO that
time the convention had not organized
much less promulgated d platform. In
view OF this solemn statement by the
committee selected 10 present 10 the
public the excuse aud cause for the bolt
IL Is passing strange, yes, astonishing,
to lind the leader OF the boltocrats, in
his speech made at Dallas on the night
OF September 9th, giving his reasons
for that action, On that subject he
says,
Looking backward, II would seem
that such division,was inevitable. We
had ceased TO think alike on questions
of fundamental governmental policy,
and the logic OF such differences uatur-
ally pointed TO an irreconcllahle division
and an lrrepressible conflict"
Later on In the same speech he said:
We had AS we'll impute the late war
70 the decision Of the B'etssrOl authors
ties to re-supply Fort Sumpter as TO say
that this ruling or that ruling at Hous-
ton broke up the Demo ocrptic party of
Texas. Division OF sentiment had ex-
listed all along. Embittered hostility
had been so thoroughly engendered;
differences OF opinion had become 50
radical, that the convention had scarce
ly been called 10 order befora it was
apparent that separation was newt
able.n
Following this remarkable and doubt
less truthful reason FOR "breaking up
the Democratic party as he puts it, he
fails in an eight-column speech to dis
Gus single state issue, 10 recon-
mend single state policy or TO commit
him self to any particular law affecting
state affairs, except the proposition to
amend the state constitution on the
subject of state banks. He deals In gem
eralities in that speech 80 far rs state
questions are concerned, except touch
ing the bank aud railway commission
question, and then only In a manner be-
coming a Comanche cnieftiaf on re-
turning from his Desperate war-path
mission TO the camp ground OF his
friends, he dances a Jig and sings d
merry song over what he conccves to
be the PROSTATE form OF the commits
sion. He declares the commission is
dead; and while anvils in some parts Of
Texas, by the commissions hilarious
enemies are reverberating at the touch
Of dutiful hands, the "little ginnt,n IN

judge who applied the knife TO II, in
dites graphic obituary over its thew
dug graye.N While he tells the people
that the cause OF tho bolt at Houston
could not be laid TO any ruling there
but to".diifereness OF opinion so deep
and radical as to present an irrecon-
cilabie conflict he utterly fails 10
point out a state issue on which his
campaign Is laid. The only inference
to be drawn from his failure 20 discuss
other state questions is, that the differ
erencen which separates MIN from the
Democratic party arose In the commits
sion issue alone. on this point he is mot
more than half way by Quincy and his
crowd, which tends TO account for the
singular and peculiar relations now
existing between the boss Of the Re-
publican party and the uncrowned
Warwick Of Democracy. For Cuney's
platform adopted at San Antonio two
years ago denounced the commission In
the following terms:
Section s. We arc opposed, as being
contrary TO the theory and genius OF
our government, 10 clothe with legisla-
tive and judicial powers railway COM
mission. and oppose the amendment to
article 10, section 8, Of the constitu-
ffor.
