that Anna and Martin box will

In our issue of Oct. lBth we
gave notice that we would de-
yote some attention to a cam
paigu circular whioh reached
our office just before going to
press. The document referred
to is the production of the Hogg
democracy of McKinney aud
issued from the press room of
that great religious (!) weekly
the Enquirer, across the way
It is u reproduction of a peti
tion, regarding the Sunday
laws, which was circulated in
Collin county some two years
ago. The gentlemen who cir
culated the petition say that
two lists were banded to the
Hon. H. A. Finch and contain-
ed something over 200 names
among them some of the most
prominent citizens of McKinney
and Collin county. Now it has
entered the minds of certain
Hoggocrats in McKinney that
the church people of Collin
county can be prejudiced
against certain independent,
candidates and at the same
time to hit the Clark fojjoirlng
a slap. They have searched
through the said list and select-
ed the individuals whom they
wished to make the victims of
prejudice. Upon the appear-
ance of the document the writ-
er called on Mr. Finch and ask-
ed for the original copy but
was informed that he, (Finch,)
knew nothing of its wherea-
bouts. Others, like the writer,
presumed that Mr. Finch was
the gentleman who furnished
the copy to the great religeous
weekly, consequently he was
called on to learn its wherea-
bouts and finally he discovered
that the original copy was in
the hands of Capt. J. H. Bing-
ham. Now this man, who loukj
like John H. Bingham, was
called on by several gentlemen
whose names were attached to
the Instrument and asked to ex-
amine all the names attached
thereto. The saintly custodian
and high priest of the Hogg
crowd refused however stating
that a great many of the names
he did not wish to parade be-
fore the public, that no one in-
side of the holy Hogg ranks
must be "embarassed." Now
we charge that such proceed-
ings is the height of unfairness,
unchristian and contrary to jus-
tice, just such as can be expect-
ed from such a source.
If these latter day puritans
will give us the original peti-
tion with all Its signers we will
help to circulate it that a reas-
onable public may know the
entire truth regarding the same.
We have directed a letter to
Austin for the purpose of either
getting a copy of the original
two lists which were handed to
Mr. Finch or if the original
copy has been taken from the
archives of the state we have
requested the custodian to In-
form us who got it.
Late on Saturday evening
Messrs. E. R. Hall, John Dug-
ger and Dave Williams called
on the Enquirer gentleman and
asked to get the insrument.
He replied that they would like
a d d sight of getting it.
Then they requested him to let
them take a copy of the names
attached thereto. He also re-
fused this fair request. We
have been informed that a peti
tion was being circulated at the
same time which advised the
enactment of the following in
the criminal code.
"Be it enacted by the legisla
ture of the state of Texas, that
title seven, chapter two, of the
criminal code be amended by
inserting therein the following
article:
"Article 187, A. Any person
or persons who shall hereafter
on Sunday upon any of the
streets, avenues, or public
highways of this state within
one half mils of any church or
school house, by loud or vocif-
erous talking or swearing, or
by any noise made by the use
of musical or other instruments,
disturb any congregation or
part of a congregation assem-
>led for religious worship, and
conducting themselves In a law-
ful manner; or who shall on
Sunday so disturb any congre-
gation or part of a congregation
assembled for the purpose of
conducting or participating in a
Snnday School or to tnt&Met
business relating to or in
interest of religious worship'
or a Sunday school, and con-
ducting themselves in a lawful
manner, shall be lined in any
sum not less than $25 nor more
than HOO, and may be impris-
oned in the county jail not ex-
ceeding thirty days at the dis-
cretion of the jury. Provided,
that tnis law shall not apply to
the case of funerals."
We have already heard of
several good democrats who
signed the said petition, used
for campaign purposes, who
insist that they thought it was
a protest against the above
proposition, while others deny
siguing any thing of the kind.
It will be remembered that a
bill was presented in the senate
which repealed a portion of
the Sunday law and which
thk dkmockatio SEN atk ok
tkxas l'ASSKl). This &atne gang
of Hogg democracy in the
language of the promoters of
this much discussed campaign
circular, is "offeriug for of-
fice" all over Texas "to which
the attenton of voters in Collin
county is directed." No gen-
tlemen, your scheme will not
work. The good voters of Col-
lin county are too sensible to
be drawn aside from the main
issues by your wily and hypo-
critical movements. They well
know that the men you try to
injure stand mountain high
aboveyou in the estimation of
an unprejudiced world. The his-
tory of at least par t of you is too
fresh in their minds, aud they
propose to investigate and cast
an unbiased ballot. Therefore
you may continue with your
Bllmy methods, for Divinity
has said "Let the heathen
rage."
Later : We have heard from
the honorable secretary of
state who Informed us that said
papers are not on file, that some
one has taken them away with-
out his knowledge.
Rutabaga Alter Coke.
McKinney, Tex., Oct. 19, '02.
Senator Coke spoke in Mc-
Kinney last Monday to a small
audience. Prior to his coming,
considerable discussion had
been engaged in by the Hogg-
ites, regarding Coke's Hills-
boro speech, an extract of
which reads as follows :
"Let me tell you now, that
with the light of the pass be-
fore us, I assert and charge
that any man who opposes the
regular democratic ticket, head-
ed by Gov. Hogg is a traitor to
the democracy and his country.
With the force bill Btaring us
in the face as it does, I say
that the hand that scratches a
democratic ticket in the coming
election is the hand of a traitor
and the owner of that hand
ought not to live."
The Hogg crowd declared
that he never made the speech.
A large portion of the Nugent
and Clark following believe
that he deliyered It. The Hogg
followers here said that Coke
would deny it when he got to
McKinney. I also believed he
would denounce it. The sena-
tor came and wishing to have
him to answer other questions,
I sent one of Coke's particular
friends, who is a prominent
merchant in McKinney, to ask
for a division of time, or to
answer a few leading questions.
He refused to do either. Now,
this proves to all reasonable
men that Coke is not an honest
leader. Why should any hon
est witness refuse to be cross
examined ?
When Coke spoke at Denton,
I understand that a leading
democrat, of that county and a
candidate, asked the Senator
why he called 300,000 voters,
who will vote against Hogg
traitors and that they should
not live.
This democrat says that
Coke answered that the papers
had lied on him and that he
would straighten up the matter
during his speech, but he never
uttered one word of denial.
Now, Coke knew that the
above question was one that
I intended to put to him.
I will now put other ques-
tions to him. Do you indorse
Hogg's Btate platform ? Next,
did you vote for Judge McCor-
mick for Federal Judge and did
you vote to extend his circuit
over five states ? Next, is Mc-
Cormick a two by fonr Judge?
Last, did you vote for Cuney <
Now Senator please answer
the above questions. Are you
guilty or not guilty ?
I'm sure, from the treatment
I received from you in McKln*

ney, that you have said that I
am a traitor and should not
live.
Now, knowing you as I do,
I do not believe you a liar nor
a murderer. But I do believe
that old age or whisky has got
away with you and in justice
to you and your friends you
and Granny Reagan had better
resign, also in your last mo-
ment inform Hogg that there
is a constitution. This is all.
Yours in sympathy,

DRAWING NEAR.
Tlio Ili Circus Day of All The
Year.
As old "Rough and Ready"
would have put it, "all the
world and the rest of mankind"
hereabouts are pictorially and
editorially advised of the hila-
rious fact that Sells Brothers'
Big Show of the world is to
give afternoon and evening ex-
hibitions at McKinney on Sat-
urday, Oct. 22, preceded by a
grand free morning parade of
unusual liberality and attract-
iveness. The various interest-
ing and amusing exhibitions
massed under the huge tents
need not be re-enumerated, but
it is pertinent to say that one
and ell will be forthcoming, as
Sells Brothers are honest and
impartial managers, who wise-
ly regard one man's money as
good as another's, and every-
where. and at every perform-
ance, return precisely the same
abundant and satisfactory
equivalent for the price of ad-
mission. This is not the cus-
tom with one or more showB of
boasted metropolitan reputa-
tion which give much better
exhibitions in New York City
and Philadelphia than else-
where, and having thus secur-
ed favorable and misleading
notices, foist upon what they
are pleased to term us "rural! -
tes" cut-down performances,
inferior performers and cheap,
tawdry displays. It, further-
more, is a fact that the really
great artists which only appear
with them for a few days in
the cities named are always en-
gaged by Sells Brothers for the
entire season, making their big
circus salary list far the most
expensive of any on the road.
We 'need not comment upon
this radical difference in polioy
and presentation. It shows
for itself, and should be coa^
demned in the one oase and en-
couraged in the other by all
who despise a cheat and be-
lieving in a squard deal.
While abroad with their
show, Sells' Brothers added
notably to its special attrac-
tions by purchasing in Austra-
lasia, East India and elsewhere
many exceedingly rare and
royal wild beasts, birds and
reptiles, among them three tre
mendous Tigers, any one of
which is big enough to swal-
low any other one heretofore
exhibited, a whole drove of
giant Kangaroos of varied hue;
u flock of splendid, full-grown
and baby Emus: prodigious
constricting serpents, singular
apes, aud superbly-pluiuaged'
language gifted birds. In truth
great and proportionately suc-
cessful efforts have been made
to gather from every clime the
most valuable and unique pro-
moters of instruction and en-
tertainment in liying form, and
thejgrand result cannot fail to
universally profit and please.
A CARD,
A circular is being put in the
hands of the voters of Collin
county, purporting to be a pe-
tition of the citizeus of Collin
county, asking the repeal of all
Sunday laws and addressed to
the 22nd legislature of the
State of Texas. As this docu-
ment noti. appears, twenty six
names of alleged signers are
given, whilst I am informed the
original petition contained
about three hundred—and I am
also iuformed that the original
is in the possession of J. H,
Bingham of the McKinney En-
quirer—and that the circular
aboye referred to emenates
from his office.
My name appears in the list
of signers among the 26 given
to the public. But whether
my signature to the original in
Mr. Bingham's posession is
genuine or not, I cannot say
—my personal relations to-
wards him having been for
years of such a character as to
preclude all intercourse be-
tween ue, aud. consequently, I
have had no opportunity to inN
spe I what is claimed to be the
original in his posession. I say
thip, because I have no recol-
lection of ever seeing such a
petition or of ever signing this
or any one of this character,
And I now solemnly assert and
declare that I never did nor do
not now entertain sentiments
at all or in anyway in harmony
with the petition referred to;
and that I did not and would
not upon deliberation sign such
a petition. I further declare
that if it be true that I signed
said petition, it was done with
out a knowledge of its purport,
and as hundreds of gratuitous
petitions are signed every year
to oblige friends, with no
thought of perpetrating a wrong
—As an instance of tue habit
prevailing as to tjiis sort of
thing I refer to our well known
and highly esteemed fellow cit-
icen, W. M. Bagley, whom I
learned from his own mouth is
one of the suppressed signers
of this same petition, and who
so incredulous, when informed
he had signed it, that he took
Dolyh Parker with )bim and in-
spected the original to find,
not only that it was genuine,
but that Parker was also a
siguer. The assertions of Mr.
Bagley that he would not have
signed such an instrument
knowing its contents, will not
be discredited in the faoeof his
well known character for reoti
tudeand moral worth. And
so of many other signers equal-
ly good and reliable citizens,
who disclaim all knowledge of
haviug signed such a paper or
of being in harmony with its
purposes and declarations.
1 hereby certify my willing-
ness to make ofiidavit to the
perfect truthfulness of every
statement I have here made.
