Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1894-08-30


Hon. James w. swayne was asked
yesterday: II see your friends say that
In tho event Tarrant county is to have
the hoater, your name will be urged
for that position2 How about TT"
1T saw that In The Gazette yestcr-
day. am not candidate for that
position or any other. Having served
IN the lower house OF the legislature
one term and one term In the senate,
have had enough glory for the pres
emit My business demands my at
tentlon and my financial affairs are
such that must forego any honors
which my friends might wish to give
me-"
your friends say that as you serv-
cd only half OF one term in tho senate.
you Hrs entitled to so back to the
lcBialature2'
They forget that going to the leg
ihlaturo Is an expensive luxury. So
far "a am concerned, found the
duties that OF incessant toll. Instead
Of being vt work only sixty days my
time was employed eleven months in
the year, with full pny for sixty days
ana less than half pay for sixty more,
and the balance Of tho time without
pay. ANY man who represents such a
district as this, if he does his duty 70
his constituents, will find that his work
WIN not only be dur!ug the sitting OF
the assembly for a TOW hours In tho
day, but tho committee rooms will re-
quir0 his attention during the bali
aneo or tho day, and his nights will
Dc used In keeping up his corresponds
enee and studying the bills to be passed
BESIDES an this. Tarrant county is
not cnutlnd 10 the representative at
This time The other counties have
KlYon u.s. the senator and now either
Hood or Parker should be entitled to
the floater. N I were IN the county
convention, would advocate the adop-
tion OF the unit rulo for this county and
instruct our delegates to the noatorinl
convention TO cast TarranTa sixteen
votes for tho candidate that either "A
majority or two thirds Of the combined
vote or Parker ana Hood wanted.
I'VE must be fair IN polltica as wei
as anything else. Honesty and fair
play In the long run VIII win.
Iarrant has the senator. II has q
majority OF tho votel In tho conven-
ADOPT Tie majority rule. which. uu-
der the action OF the atate convention
ne Dallas, would be proper IL can
