Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1895-06-16

Dallas in Itself was sufficient to pro-
duos most serious and most disastrous
enocts upon the Democratic party of
the state, and when to this Is added the
action OF the silver people in the legls-
lature and the proposed action at Fort
worm on August q, whereby they
threaten to attempt a seizure of the
democratic party and TO ostraclsc every
Democrat who may differ with them
ON TINS question. makes II appear TO my
NINA that II win be impossible for US
hereattcr To dwell together In unity.
y! course can speak only for myself
personally, but I am Thoroughly readv
Tor the fray, and, as the fight has 10
" made my motto 10 to let It come.
Ihctc Is no use OF any further ntternut
at trimming or hagmonizlug. Harmon
l]'ng' Harmony Is out of the question.
II ~ battle OF ideas, and every Demo-
etut IN Texas and IN the United states
must prepare to align himself Accord
ih6 TO MS convictions. The fences will
DE torn down, and ergo we will have
no ichce-Straddlers. II the national
Democratic convention declares In IA
Nor OF the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver ! shall decline to vote the
ticket IT. on the contrary, the national
convention stands by sound and honest
money. as the party has ever dane
and believe 1t Will ever do In the
future, our friends of the silver prr-
suasion must be prepared to take their
medicine or yet out"
What VIII be the result Of this sill
yer agitation IN TcNas?"
MOST likely II VIII result in the cleo
ton Of Iopullst state administration
| While this seems to have a holy terror
Tor many good men. It occurs to me
that IL might prove blessing In dis
guise. Texas has been oVerrlddsn Nv

capital and abuse OF Investors until

and the more rapid. One thing Is amre,
N case a Popullst administration WINS
elected decent Democrats could not be
held responsible for tho administration.
which in Itself, would be source Of
personal consolation to many OF us.
! Pandering TO demagoRy and voting for
uenagosues mas so far only served to
aggravnte the disease. and we must trv
something more heroic"
what will the silver people do at
I Fort Worth?"
u have no idea what they will do. as
latterly they have not taken me into

very evident from present indIcntions
and that is. they must make a factionni
