TEXANS FOR MK1NLEY.
n Lassiter Of Fort Worth. Texas. the
first member Of the Texas delegation to arrive
expressed the opinion to-day that the Conven-
ton should not do more than declare for Demo
cratic principles in the form Of a ringing plat
form He favors he says. making the financial
~. doc
In Texas he said. the sentiment among the
Sound Money Democrats is to do directly what
voting for the nominees OF this Convention
would mean 10 do indirectly. We will take no
chances in Texas in favor Of Bryan. His de-
feat Is the avowed purpose Of the movement
eliminating in this Convention, and support or
any ticket nominated might result in defeating
our purpose For myself unless my intentions
undergo radical change VIII vote for Nc
Kiney and think thousands Of the younger
men Of Texas. hitherto Democrats, will do the
same. ] favor. however. a Democratic declara-
tion Of principles. because | am not Repub-
lcan. and | always expect to be a Democrat
But am no longer afraid Of high tariff as /
used TO be Some Sound Money Democrats
might, il IS true, vote for Bryan under the plea
Of regularity II no true Democratic ticket be
ramed here but my fear is that where one vote
is kept from Bryan by this indianapolis ticket
eight ten that would otherwise go 10 Mckin-
ley will he thrown away. Let us have courage
enough TO vote directly for what We believe is
for the best interest of the country.
