San Angelo Texas June 0 1001.
Editor l'r.-BB Sun Angelo
Dear Sir: In that grotesquely
humorous articlo "A final State-
ment" printed in the Standard
of June 4th are some startling
and amazing statements and
with your permission I would like
to comment on some of them jtiBt
a little.
It the firab place I would like to
recall a fact that Mr. Murphy
seems in a fair way to lose sight
of viz. that this controversy
arose out of nothing more than a
desire on the part of a large nuin-
uer of the citizens to be allowed
to have some voice in the selec-
tion of county officers and county
officers only without having to
tuke a pledge to vote for Wm. Jen-
nings Bryan or Richard Croker
or whoover the democratic party
may see fit to lling to the people
patent medicine policy and all
to guido the destinies of this
grand republic.
The very idea of such a thing
seems to have given Mr. Murphy
n fit of acute dyspepsia but I am
assured bv some of my republican
neighbors that there is no sugges-
tion of dyspepsia when thoro is
Borne scheme afoot to raise mon-
ey for a railroad a barbecue or
anything of this kind and I am
led to bolievo that Mr. Murphy
was more than glad on one or two
recent occasions to Heo promi-
nent republicans voting with
him at tho poles on the corpora-
tion question.
Mr. Murphy assures us "that
the principles of tho two parties
ure diametrically opposed. "
On the question at issue the
principles that have actuated a
largo number of republicans have
been a desire to see elected to our
county oflices a body of men
who would fulfill the duties of
their offices without fear and
without favor. Mr. Murphy as-
sures ub that the principles of his
democratic friends are diametri-
cally opposed to thiB and Mr.
Murphy ought to bo an authority
on this question at least.
In a flight of rhetoric that
bounds strangoly familiar the
writer refers to tho grand old
party as conceived in iniquity.
Poof old Abe Lincoln while tho
Standard speaks thus of you re-
member that tho world uwards
you the title of the "Grandest
Patriot since Washington."
Tho dyspepsia having assumed
n more acute stage the writer re-
fers to a "politician who lives
as a parasiteon tho bqdy politic."
1 beliovo that one Grover Cleve-
land's chief difficulty when it
came to dealing with our town
was to docido between tho numor-
our applicants for the office that
gives rise to their euphoneous
title and unless I was misinform-
ed there was one named Murphy
amongst said applicants.
Again in the following sentence
one is reminded of how "history
repeats itself."
We believe that Hobs Tweed
and Richard Croker also deprecat-
ed tho propensity of somo papers
and public men "to stir up wran-
gles. "The democratic party is a party
of the people in the counsels of
which all democrats have equal
rights; while the republican party
is simply an organization to be
manipulated in the interest of the
leaders often Belf appointed who
point out to the rank and file just
what part each shall play in the
political farce which they bo earn-
estly endeavor to keep before tho
public."
This paragraph will bo an inter-
esting piece of information and
news to the rank and file of tho
republican party as also to tho
200 (approximately) democratic
voters wlio signed and presented a
petition to the county executive
committee for a blanket primary
which was turned down in a very
ofl'-haiut way by said committee-.
Tho conclusion that the writer
arrives at that tho republican pe-
tition Qinenated from tho fertile
brain of the chairman or secretary
of tho county republican com-
mitteo is altogether erroneous as
the potition embodied tho views
of a large numbor if not all of
tho republican voters This goes
to show that while tho writer of
"A Pinal Statement" has (irmly
established his reputation as a
humorist he is no Sherlock
Holmes.
"It is peculiarly unfortunate
that such gifted and useful men
as Messrs. Richardson and Blanch-
ard will persist in affiliating with
a political organization so redo-
lent with corruption and the
Standard sincerely hopes that tho
mists may yet bo dispelled from
before their political vision and
that they may plant their feet on
tho solid rock of democracy."
And shall ive say sit at the feet
inary of 1902 when the saloons
wore wide open liquor flowed
more freoly than water every
bum and loafer suddenly sur-
prised his pockets with pictures
of Liberty done in silver or
whon every man "it is said" re-
gardless' of his place of habita-
tion let it be Now York or San
Francisco St. Louis or Chicago
the Pecos the San Saba or the
Colorado was welcomed at the
polls in the city of San Angelo
like the prodigal son.
Brother Murphy there is a
passage in a book written some
1800 years ago about a mote and
a beam which is right good read-
ing even today.
Respectfully
A IlKi'tmf.icAN VorKU.
San Angelo Juno 7. 11)01.
Editor Press: ITnder the cap-
tion "A Finn Statement" the
Standard consumed two columns
party to dispense with primary
election of candidates for county
offices and permit the names of
all now announced to appear on
tho election tickets?"
On May 14 th tho Standard pub-
lished this report: "Having no
republican ticket for county offi-
cers thoy" meaning the
republicans "fool that thoy
should no permitted to vote in
the domocratic primaries " On
the 4th instant the Standard says
on the sume subject: "It is im-
material to the point at issue to
delino precisely what the repub-
licans in their blantant blunder-
ing assumption were seeking."
To comment on this kind of
logic were an insult to every in-
telligent reader of the Press Tho
republicans are charitably in-
clined and seek only to givo a
helping hand where help is called.

American Constitution and as a
burlesque on such a claim it en-
deavors to dodge a question relat-
ing to local government.
From an earnest desire on tho
part of some good democrats to
secure efficient county officers
their confessed inability to do so
unaided and thoir consequent ap-
peal to republican follow citizens
for help the matter has assumed
tho character of a huge opera

tho Stundard in the star rolo of
the mighty goddess sprung from
Jove's head "in war-like armor

inings. Tho costume to bo worn
by tho heroio editor has not yot
been advertised but is likoly to
bo quite modern; probably a
greon inother-hubbard and yellow
sun bonnet.
This being a free bIiow the peo-
ple in common must bo judges of
the play.

Notes of the (lames nt San Angelo.
Robinson's homo runs were
features of Friday's game.
Hamilton is a nice little fel-
low and pitches nicely but San
Angelo hit him unmercifully.
Bates was uncommonly long on
errors Thursday but redeemed
himself on the following days.
Vanco pitched two exception-
ally pretty games.
Connor's homo run on a singlo
Friday in the ninth brought in
two others besides paying Connor
handsomely.
Robinson is the first man to
put one over the fence.
Lawson was long on two bag-
gers during this series.
Gago deserves credit for the
impartial manner in which he
umpired Saturday's guino. His
decisions showed an export know-
ledge of tho gnmo and a good oyo.

lino. Not only has this fooling
been very apparent this year Im
it existed in an even in w
marked degree throughout lu-t
season. The Press believes t'i;s
to be all wrong there should be
no such feeling between the
people of the two best towns in
West Texas and the Press dis-
likes as much as Ballinger people
do to confess that such a feeling
does exist.
Ballingcr feels that during the
three games of last week they
"got dirt." so to speak. Now
Ballinger lost Thursday's game
through errors of hor own and be-
caiiBo thoy woro outclassed. Fri-
day's game thoy won out of sheer
good playing both at the bat and
in fielding. Saturday's game was
closer than either of the other
two und Ballingor feels that tho
umpire Gago made quite a num-
bor of errors. Austin Spencer
says that San Angelo intended
playing Gage but that Ballinger
asked that he umpire. This
courtesy was accorded them. So
that Ballingor lias no reason to
feel that it was a ciibo of robbery.
Monday's game at Ballinger
was a little different. The home
team there very dictatorially put
in an umpire who didn't "know
tiik iAMK. He made errors in
decisions for Ballinger ns well as
the visitors but when he made
one for the home team it was not
a costly one whereas in tho case
of San Angelo it was the revorse.
Some of Ballinger's best people
admitted that two decisions were
rank and these same decisions if
reversed would have tied tho score
and perhaps given loom for the
game to bo won by tho visitors.
1 o tho credit of the umpire let it
bo said however that San Angelo
people do not feel (hat his errors
were intentional. They wore of
