Why WEIGH Runs Independent.

Following is letter from }. G.
Welch, independent candidate for the
legislature, in the Pecos County Pick
ipgs:
Ell PASO, Texas, Oct. II, 1897,
Mr.. EDITOR:-Democracy is one OF
the most abused terms of the English
language in west Texas just at this
time. 1t is confounded with republic
canism, populism, and hesthenism to
such an extent that one must inspect
closely to distinguish the true article.
With David B. Hill some chorus their
democracy, and are likewise just as
consistent as that distinguished back
ocrat," thus reversing the laws of
Moses. L do not believe that one must
De a true-blue bourbon of the royal
stripe to be counted amongst the hosts
of true democracy, but there are few
essentials. Among others are consist
ency and no hIrtations with her enc
mics. AS an independent democratic
candidate for the legislature from this
district you very naturally ask me
what is my platform and what nv
rea IONS for an independent race. To
answer you conclusively, Mr.. Editor,
must go back to the election of two
years aeo-but first, my platform
Just as far as it is possible to apply it
to state affairs, the Chicago platform
of 1896 will be my guide in the discrs-
sion of those affairs when they come
before the next house. On the mooted
questions of the day-a disposition of
our onvict la Dor that will stop as far
as possible their com petition with our
free labor Estate farms. believe, is the
correct solution of this vexatious oues-
t on, and then more equitable libel
law. There are others, my dear sir,

letter is ready near its conven ito D al

cuss before | close.
was very we'll coutented to be an
humble priva'e in the ranks of our
party up to Novem Der, 1896, when, you
will remember, Mr.. j. B. Badger
secured the nomination on the demo-
cratic ticket for representative from
this district. How? and why? you may
ask, as you were not here at that time.
Well, [ will give you the popular yer
sion. 1t seems that the ''unterrified"
OF this county, like Romeo, questioned
the value of a name, and deliberately
knocked from their title it's
prefix and scattered like frightened
hares, actually scared. Ring rule hal

WEIGH should by all means, in this
county at least, make his fight against
Bridgers. He has very good show
here if he makes straight contest
with the Ten Cent Porous Plaster.
The railroad men will be unit for
Welch, the labor men will be glad to
have a good man to vote for in prefer
ence to the nondescript follower of
Charley Patterson, and there will be a
large contingent of independent dem.
ocrats to be counted for WEIGH in ad-
dition 10 the solid vote of the repub-
licsns. WEIGH has an easy thing il he
fences to be cut between now and
election.

like whimper said: why do you try
10 run in the race at all, spending
money and wasting work with the GER

will give you four hundred votes In the
county, no more" And then he pro-
ceeded to demonstrate, or demonstrate,
10 Mr.. Welch how foolish 10 was
for anybody to presume to oppose the
Invincible Porous Plaster in the race
for the legislature. WEIGH iucautiously
sold the Porous Plaster that he was
making no fight on his honor, but that
his differences were with Jones, and
he didn't zee why the p. z. should
deht him ut all. In the interview the
Inviucible not only betrayed his own
weakness and fear of defeat. but he
gave the independent candidate 4 tip
as 20 the best direction 10 which TO
work so as 20 assure his own sue
cess. The other way in which
the Porous Plaster made An ass
of himself was in saying that he would

The Spaniard who has been persuad-

The SpaDisrds suffered loss of
nearly 80 per cent of their soldiers sent

into Cuba In the midst of the sickly
