by the friends Of Judge Ireland and others.
Inc independent movement is visible Ia |
the legislature.
Colonel George Finlay is spoken of from
the Saiveston district, and is known to be
on intimate terms with Gen. Benavides,
who controls large Mexican vote.
1t is conceded that Galveston cannot
nominate the candidate in the democratic
convention. II she double up in her in
terests she will be compelled to stand by
an independent candidate. Finlay is a
true southern man and has proved himself
one OF the ablest members Of the legislture,

Paddock'S railroad bill, Major Walton |
approached Senator Terrell and
made some remarks which nei- |
ther gentlemen will divulge, and |
the public failed to hear. Blows fol- |
lowed, the Major being felled to the floor.
The senator, then jumped the railing
which stood between him and Major Wal
ton, but was brought to q period by the
lobby. BY this time all was confusion the
blows ir9m the speakers gavel being barely
audible in the din.
MIR. Duncan moved to clear the lobby,
whereupon some of the senators made the
point OF order that the belligerents were
only culpable.
Judge Terrell explained that the major
had addressed insuIiag remarks to him, BAT
believing that he (the Major had taken 100
many lemonades, he desired postpol ement
OF the matter; he found, however, that the
major was not under this influence, and
to0K IL out OF MN then and there.
The killingsc the veteran bill has created
sublme~ disgust with the iri, nds
| OF the veterans who allow their feelings to
20 SO far as to say the measure only failed
because the veterans had no friends in the
lobby.
A strong effort will be made in the morn
ing to get up the Tarleton bill with the
Matlock substitute, looking to the protec-
tion of the school lands.
Commissioner Walsh is holding up 00O
sections by arbitrary deyices, but which
met with public approval. The pres
