Denton, Tex., May i!2, 1^91.—
Messrs, ltiles^tieurgc, Medlin and
others, Roanoke,Tex.—Gentlemen:
I am in receipt of yours asking me
to submit mr name to the Demo-
cratic convention for representative
from this flotorial district, composted
of the couulie^ of Cook, Wise an 1
Denton.
L irj<preoiate the honor you -do me
in the implied confidence, iu your
solicitationTand fed deeply grate-
ful to you and to others who have
written, and also those who have
made rcr*on»l solicitations, asking
me to become a candidate for, floto-
rial representative. I assure you
that I should esteem it ;u» honor to.
represent the district, but my busi-
hess-relations are such that I could
not, without very great sacrifice of
my personal ifnd.business interests,
accept the nomination, if tendered
me; hence 1 must decline to allow
the use of my--name in this! connec-
tion. This conclusion l have ar
rived at after mature consideration.
I shall h *pe th it Some gentleman
from Denton comity, who can rep
resent the interests of the district
b- tter than myself, may be solicit-
ed, one whose ability and honest)
are unquestioned, and whose polity,
iciii antecedents are such that there
will be no jMissilde mistake us to
Ids |K.sition on the great que-tiom
- oming or likely tor>«ne before tin
next legislature for dilution.
This beii g an off-year in dec
t on-, only state poHcjes would or-
dinarily be involved in the canvass,
yet by reason of the.fast that tin
next legislature is to elect n I’nited
States senator, and the several con
gressional districts elect tin ir coin
greasmen, questions of national im
[ort will Ire considered, policie.-
-lUtlined.an l the priueipUs of l-'-x
niocracy discussed.
In the present political r.ns|ji:iigii
any Dem-a rat asking for. political
preferment ought to have the cour-
age of his convictions, and in 111is
supreine moment of our countrv’.-
history it would he little less than
treason to the Democratic part)
,f*>r gentlemen aspiring to political
4^4*«H4*r>» by Democratic votes, not t<-
have the courage of their convic-
tions, and display that courage by
an h niest sbitenictyt of their |Kjsi-
tifuis on all questions that will
