rants IL he can get IL, but it is understood among
his friends that he prefers the position to which
the people have called him. Then Of course friend
and supporter of Gen. Houston's must be chosen.
Among those mentioned in this connection nre
Col. N. T. johnson, Hon. L. ID. Evans and Col.
b. IL. Epperson--tho larger number in favor of
Col. Johnson--the Col. being an old Tcxian, and
probably better fitted for the position than many
others whose names have been mentioned. 9th
er names have been suggested ,-Wjgfall, Mills,
Ward, Ochiltree and Reagan, all having friends,
who wish to SEQ them elevated to the senntorGhip.
Capt Barrett, of the Flag has two or three
hundred moro names yet to present to the people
for this position. Either of the gentlemen whom
have mentioned above would reflect honor upon |
Texas as her Senator"
