BAKKY llElLIIIS TO FIXLEY
Special to the Gazette
Dallas Tkx Juno 2C Mr Bryan
T Barry chairman of the Co ok cam
paign committee has prepared the fol
lowing reoly to the letter of Chairman
Finley which appeared in The Gazette
of this morning
I have not written any letters to
Mr Chairman Finley and shall not do
so as I do not regard him as the Demo
cratic party of the state Neither Is he
the autocrat or receiver of the party I
respect him however in his position as
chairman of the executive committee of
the state and shall submit uncomplain
ingly to anything ho does within the
scope ot the powers conferred upon him
but when he truusccuds them he Is no more
more thano ther citizen Tlio state or
gatiou of the party consists of an execu
tive committee composed of a member
from each ot the thlrtyouo senatorial
districts in the state and a chair
man all selected and appointed every
two years by the state conventions
No writteu law has ever been made for
the government of this committee and it
is certain that no power lias ever been
conferred upon them except that of call
ing the party together iiTstat convention
and naming the time and plaoe of meet
ing Besides this each member is chair
man of the executive committee for his
senatorial district Again these powers
aro conferred upon the committee and
not upon the chuirmnu and until tho
committee acts tho chairman has no au
thority to publish its decision upon any
question When the state convention is
called the county ami precinct conven
tions are called nnd when tho people
assemble they aro supreme and the offi
cial duties af all the committeemen fully
performed nnd their authority termin
ated
Chairman Finley understood this and
assembled his committee nt Lampasas
and the committee seleottd San Antonio
as the place and August 12 the time for
the meeting of the convention and Mr
Finley issued the call If Chairman
Finley is such a power in the party
why the necessity ot the meet
ing nt Lampasas What else did
the committee do We have no report
ot anything except that it is claimed Mr
Finley read to the committee and they
endorsed a letter written by him to Mr
Miller stating his views upon who
should bo allowed to participate in con
ventions of the party It appears how
over from the accounts wo get that
there is a controversy among members of
tho committee as to just what tho com
mittee did and intended to do upon this
point but 1 think Mr Finley himself
feels sure the members of the committee
will not claim that they intended to say
to the Democraoy that they must be gov
erned by the provisions of this letter in
their conventions If either does how
over they will find their principals tho
Democracy of the state will show them
by their proceedings in conventions how
little regard they have for the assump
tion of authority But if not intended
as a party command the letter and all
other expressions of Chairman Finley
become only his personal expressions
and Mr Finley himself becomes the first
person to raise the question of a t > st
in this campaign Now what will Mr
Finley do Will he claim that he has
acted by direotion of his committee in
what he has said If so let him show the
proceedings of the committee Will he
claim that his committee has the author
ity to decide who shall participate in the
conventions of the party If they have
the authority if the party has conferred
this power upon them does it become
their duty to exercise it and if so Mr
Finley should call the committee to
gether at once so that they can act It
will not do to say that he read a letter
written by himself to Mr Miller and
claims that the committee endorsed
it The question is too important
the interests of the party are too seri
ously impending tho interpretation Of
what has been done and attempted to be
done to admit of any delay I say as 1
have always contended that Mr Finley
and his committee have no authority to
dictate to the people upon this question
but if they claim it they should exercise
it in a way so that they will be under
stood And if they do not claim this
authority and have not attempted to ox
erciso it they should say so for Mr Fin
ley s expressions aro beiug used by one
side in this contest to forward their ends
Now what will Mr Finley do What
say tho committee Any member of the
committee and I contend any good
Democrat has the same right to
speak bis mind upon this ques
tion as Mr Finley As to
the letter of Mr Finley in todays
papers I want to ask by what right he
signs himself officially to such a docu
ment Its intent is plain The com
munications he replies to are all against
Gen Hoggs side and in this communi
cation be puts himself forward as a sup
porter and partisan of Gen Hogg No
other interpretation can be placed upon
it by thinking people His insinuation
that persons who are recognized as quite
as good Democrats as himself and have
rendered the party quite as much service
as he has are about to disrupt the party
will not justify it He does not say so
but he evidently has joined others In at
tempting to misrepresent me and what I
have said as to who should participate in
Democratic primaries 1 challenge him
and everyone to show where I have by
one word advocated the exclusion of any
one on account of bis occupation or bis
membership in nny order not political
and he ought to be ashamed of
himself for this attempt to in
lludnce the passions of laboring people
I have said that we did not want the sup
port of any but Democrats Will Gun
Hoggs supporters say as much And 1
have said that persons who refused to
support the Democratio ticket in 18SS
and will not pledge themselves to do so
this year should not participate Am I
not right I have further said that mem
bers of secret oathbouud political or
ganizations should not be allowed to par
ticipate Should they Upon this point
Mr Finley and some others who do not
profess great fealty to the Democratic
party but who singularly enough are
very much In accord just now with
Chairman Finley claim that I would ex
clude members of the Grange and Alli
ance I have never named these orders
and my contention could not effect them
unless they control their members in
politics Do they I have here
tofore heard they didnt and have never
charged that they did but some
of my critics bare slandered either
them or me But as to the charge of
bolting I contend that where Demo
cratio primaries are overrun by enemies
uf the party Democrats should appeal
by sending up contesting delegations
Am I wrong Shall Democrats submit
to such an imposition nnd defeat ot their
party If so wo had as well surronder
to the Republicans Is it a crime and
shall one be denounced as a bolter for
refusing to surrender his party to its ene
mies Will tho executive committee or
its chairman say surrender or appeal
That is the questiou that is being dis
cussed in some localities and I think
Democrats will not surrender und will not
bo whipped into submission by being
charged with intending to bolt by u
chairman or anybody else

I notioed iu yesterdays Gazette a let

Massey in which he said there were only
three antiHogg men in this precinct
and that I wns oue of them He said
that I was young and green lfit is a
crime to be young I plead guilty to tho
charge And if a man who opposes
Hogg is green 1 also plead guilty to
that charge Mr Massey reminds me of
the Union Lnborites in Wood county two
years ago They called me green be
cause I did not support Marion Martin
and Bill Farmer in which there were
150000 people just as green as I was
Now they call mo green because I do not
support Hogg If the different Isms aro

Hogg will bein the minority otherwise

fact thnt every thing that bolted from
the Democratio party two years ago is
