beginning OF state movement ere
ates considerable interest and discus
sion here. The general opinion is that
the rumors and stories reported pos
sess more wind than anything else
as far as serious results are concern
ed, although several of the prominent
members OF the party on each side are
Inclined to be belligerent Here are a
few expressions:
Senator Coke said: "As q Democrat,
l fully and most heartily indorse the
opening speech of lion. Charles A.
Culberson and think that three
fourths OF the Democrats OF Texas
do the same thing. 1t the Fort Worth
Cleveland club wants to organize, let
1t do So"
Hon. Eugene Williams said: "The
two constructions OF the state plat
form plank on silver were well known
when the plank was adopted ana nom
nations made. Amy member OF
the platform committee who did
not know that these differing
constructions would be insisted upon
by their respective advocates was too
simple for his Job, The nominations
were made with the same knowledge.
Every Den ocrat who rcjoiced when
the national financial plank was nail
ed on the state platform, should stand
stand on IL and face his own way
while his brother turns his back on
him. There Will be no real trouble
on this question. All the rank and
file, who voted for Clark Hike myself,
will vote the ticket straight 1t Will
be elected by large majority"
Bart Moore declared himself as fol-
lows: "If Faux has been correctly re-
ported, and from the way the 1G to
] crowd is acting l think he has. l be-
lieve all Democrats who stand on the
national and state platforms should
assert themselves boldly. The state
Democratic convention at Dallas not
only refused to adopt the 1e TO l plank
but emphaticully voted IL down, and
now II this gang of free silver fanat-
les is going to force the campaign in
this Populistic craze, think there
should be convention called and plat
form adopted to stand on. have
said before that l think the party
has more enemies within its own ranks
| than Il has outside, and transactions
within the past few days convince me
OF the correctness OF that assertion.
] think Mr. Culberson laid himself open
to criticism when he Jumped OFF the
state and national platform in his
| opening speech, and chased on after
Popullstlc vagarles. He is placing him
self In a position OF estranging staunch
Democrats and catering after Popullst
votes he can never hope to get
hate to see such state Of AFFAIRS. but
we should and viii have no muzzling
of Democratic leaders. who have borne
the brunt Of the battle for years"
