once and bring the bloodhounds, as the

ard, bankers, and Captain S. II. Heming-
way, late of the Missouri Pacific service,
are leading spirits, was organized here

A quiet movement Is on foot here to
start the campaign for nominating Judge
Henry, of Dallas, as the Decorate
candidate for governor at the Galveston
state convention to assemble July Is. A
meeting is to be held here tomorrow, or
next day, to determine ON plan of cam
paign. Its promoters are not aware that
it has leaked out to the reporters. Judge
Henry will receive the railroad support
and Ex-Governor Brown and another
prominent railroad are now en- route
here. Judge Henry Is member of
the firm OF Wellborne, Leak & Henry,
attorneys at Dallas for the Gould
system. Mr.. Wellborn, a member of
the same firm, is a present Texas con-
gresham. 1t Is understood the railroad
plan for Henry's nomination is to get the
coming convention dead locked between
John ireland and some other strong Dem
Ocrat, and then have a compromise on
Judge Henry, as was the case with Hub
bard, Throckmorton and Roberts at the
Austin convention in 1873.
DALLAS, May 9.-The deadlock in the
city council was broken last night on the
city treasurer's election, on the one
hundred and forty-sixth ballot, taken at
various meetings during the past two
weeks. J. L. Leonard, the present in
cumbent, and f. J. Cannon were the cam
didates. As the last resort the anti
Leonard men, to force a compromise, in
troduced resolution asking Leonard to
resign, knowing the majority would
vote in the affirmative. thus break
ing the tie and adopt the resolu-
ton. Rather than that should occur
one Leonard man voted for the compro-
mise candidate, n. W. Godbold. offered
by Gannon's friends, and Godbold was
elected. This is substantially as good as
II Leonard were elected, as Godbold
was formerly an attache of Adams Il
Leonard's bank. and win make that lnsti-
tuition the city repository.
