San Saba County news. [volume] (San Saba, Tex.) 1874-19??, 1893-01-13

ne knows these things to be fact
Is it not his duty as a citizen t
have the matter brought to high
and the guilty justly punished
And even were it true, is it no
Just as reasonable to suppose tina
If the populists were i'll powe
that bribery and corruption woulc
again enter the Legislative hall
and rule. If the democrats anC
republicans can be bribed anC
bought is it not just as likely tina
the populists would accept brides
also? Wherein are the populistl
different from others, except in
political creeds? Even granting
that Brother Burns is right in his
ss,ca5attions wherein mas ne gained
anything except that the Ameri-
can people are traitors, with No
stability of minds, and without
honest hearts. The which is wrong
from beginning to end.
Again you say that unless you
get the reforms demanded, you
predict that Texas will roll up a
handsome majority for the popu-
list candidates at the next cleo
ton. Yes, you predict. Do you
remember that previous to the
in this office, you predict
ed that Weaver would be Presi-
dent, Notwithstanding the fact that
the News said that Weaver would
not get votes enough to even throw
the election of Presidentand Vice
President upon Congress. Pre-
dictions rarely come true. Again
you say at would not be an exag-
GRAFTON to say that one half the
men who voted the democratic
ticket are reformers.r In that
you are only half right, as I be-
lieye every man that voted the
democratic ticket is a reformer.
We claim that the democratic par
~ is as truly a reform party as
any other, that the principles advo-
Gated by the democratic party are
IS just and economical if not more
so than any other party, and that
that party, dear to our
hearts, and dear to your hearts, so
lear to you men, that although
you fought its legions to the last
iSu still cling to the name, demo-

4 years, yea more, yet is has ris-
j. in its might and to-day enjoys
such a glorious victory as has new
sr been known in the political his
DRY Of our country.
Again you say "shrewd polite
ans manipulate the machinery in
of the favored few" Now
every one who knows anything
about political machinery, knows
that there is just as much ma
work and political boss
SINS in proportion to the rela-
i've strength Of the parties, in the
Dopulist party as in any other
party. And as to the machinery
being manipulated by shrewd pol
lticians, there are some mighty
shrewd ones in the populist party,
IN fact they are so very shrewd
hat even shrewd Macune did not
know that he had been out shrewd
ed until after the election, then he
admitted that The Alliance had
been used as the tail to the third
party kite" When in very truth
shrewd Macune knew at that very
lime that the tail was SO heavy
that it wagged the kite that time
any way.
Now Bro. Burns heres our IA
Let US declare this discussion use
less and out of order. However if
you desire to write more 1 shall
grant you space, but as for my
part I'll no more of it. Recognize
ing you as a good, practical and
successful farmer ] shall lie pleas
ed TO have you write some articles
on agriculture, farming and stock
raising.
The trustees election Thursday
created not as much excitement as
Of old. What's the matter?
