AUSTIN, Texas, September 3.-The Demo
cratic State Convention met in Republican
Hall aud was called to order by Colonel G.
w. Winkler. of COrsicana, at 10 A. NJ, NJ.

rary secretary. The entire day was occu
pied in the organization and appointing of
committees. The convention then ad-
iourned to 9 A. NJ. to morrow.
The contest for gubernatorial honOrs will
he lively. Judge John Ireland of Seguin;
Judge Richard Cooke, CT Waco, and
Colonel G. w. Winkler. of Corsicana are
the most prominent candidates before the
convention. Judge Ireland represents the
anti-railroad subsidy party. The others
are conservative in their views. Since the
unqualified withdrawal of Ex-Governor J.
w. Throckmorton the interests have not
brought forward any one TO represent them.
1t is feared. however, they will report at
the proper time and create confusion in the
convention. Both parties are canyaSs!ng
tonight.
Delegates who have arr; red during the
day from the frontier counties have IL
creased Cookies vote. His friends are
confident of success. The opposition to
railroad subsidies Is very strong and bitter,
and il a railroad man receives the n0mina-
ticn. there will certainly be a split.
Colonel Winklty. in calling the conven-
ton to order expressed his qualification az
seeing so large representation il proof
that the people of the State We're taking in
creased interest in affairs. He regards
DAVIS as the strongest of the Radical party,
but had nothing to fear from him, as his
record is well known to the Democracy.
