General e. j. Davis, the radical candidate for Gov
ernor, is a native of Texas. Before the Rebellion he
was District Judge In the western part OF the
State lie entered the Union army early in the war.
In 1866 he elected delegate to the Constltu-
tional Convention. He also elected to the last
Constitutional Convention, and was its presiding
officer.
General A. j. Hamilton, who is famillarly known
throughout the country as plain 'Jack' Hamilton
Is native of Alabama, but removed to Texas in
1916. He was in Congress when the war broke out
and made last and most earnest appeal to the peo
pie OF Texas to remain in the Union. When he re-
turned home he went to AUSTIN and in the Secession
Convention he made powerful Union speech, in
which he declared that he would stand by the Fede-
raj Government. He then stumped several portions
of the State, urging the people to defeat the ord-
nance Of secession He failed in this, and was
finally driven from the State and came North. At
the close OF the war he returned to Texas and was
appointed Military Governor OF the State by Pres-
dent Lincoln in 1865, which office he held until the
election OF Governor Throckmorton. He was dele
gate to the southern Loyaliss' Convention" which
held in this city in September, 1866, and also
participated in the Soldiers Convention which was
held in Pittsburg soon after.
The Revised Registration.
On the 1st Of october General Reynolds issued his
order providing for the election, In which was in
cluded directions for the Boards of Registrars to
meet the 10th Of November for the purpose of re-
visng the registration lists and to remain in session
for ten days. The order extremely liberal in It's
provisions, impartial and just, and was apparently
| well designed to obtain fair expression of the
peoples will. The papers Of all parties in the State
cummended it, although some regret was expressed
that it is provided that the votes shall be taken only
| at the several county seats. Much care has been
tyken to guard against Frauds and the extension of
the time for the election asked for by General
Reynolds and grantedby the President account Of
the small number Of voting places established in the
| State.
The result Of the election Is involved in consider
able doubt, by of the existence Of the three
| tickets but If Mr.. Stuart should withdraw from
| Hamilton any considerable number Of Democratic
votes, the success of General Davis will be assured.
