special to the Gazette.
BOWIE, TEX, Oct 29.--Our mer.
chants have been receiving large in
stallments Of goods this week, especial
ly the dry goods men, Messrs. A. b.
Kapp, s. Dauble and others. While
we have an occasional quiet day our
average trade OF one day with another
is good.
Bowels lumber trade is especially
worthy Of note. On the Newport road
leading into Clay and Jack counties
counted yesterday good number of
wagons loaded with lumber and all
from Bowie.
Cotton receipts are not so large as
heretofore, owing no doubt, to the
present low state of the market S. 90
is the present quotation here.
The reputation OF Bowie and the
celebrated "Cross Timbersv is spread
ing, as evidence of which, letters are
reaching us almost daily calling for i'm
formation Of our thriving young city
and prosperous community. They
come from various states, North and
South, and their authors are men in
the various pursuits Of life, farmers,
business mon, teachers, preachers. etc.
10 all such we can offer many induce
ments and advantages.

THE GAZETTE yentured the opinion
at the time Dudley resigned, dating his
resignation November 10, to 20 to
Indiana and work for the Republican
ticket, that his resignation was q
blind, to be withdrawn as soon as the
election was over. Now the Washing
ton CITY correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer writes "It is gossip in
official circles here that Col. Dudley
will withdraw his resignation as com
missioner Of pensions soon after the
November elections that the resigna-
ton was only rendered in order to en-
able him TO free himself so he could go
TO work in the campaign" But Dudley
will take care to draw his salary, at
the rate Of $4,000 a year, while working
for Blaine in Indiana.

Get Tho Names Right,

q
Parties intrusted with the printing
of the Democratic ticket should be
careful TO correctly print the names of
the Democratic candidates for electors.
THE GAZETTE desires to especially call
attention to two OF these names, as we
notice that many papers are misprint-
ing them. We refer to ii. @. Hynson
and X, X. Legett. Many papers are
printing the first OF these as Hinson
the name should be printed Hynson.
In Mr.. Legett's name, several mistakes
are made; some papers print 1t Leg
gent and some Leggltt. 1t should be
Legett. 1t may not be vital mis-
take, but 1t is just as we'll to print tn,
names correctly.

Colonel Wins ai Home.

Colonel William +. Villas, who presided
over the Democratic National Convention,
reached his home in Madison, Wis, on
Saturday evening. He was serenaded by
the Democrats OF the town and made 4
neat speech. The work TO be done at
Chicago was most difficult one. he said.
The purposes 10 be accomplished were
well known, but there were many dis
fractions. Circumstances seemed 10
demonstrate that Grover Cleveland,
of New York, was the embodiment
OF all the great qualities which COM
bined IN the formation Of an ideal
leader with whom tc meet the Repub-
llcan hosts in the fall. lie had been
tried by the Democrats and had
proved himself competent TO master all cir
cumstanccs. His efforts at reform had
made him many enemies, who waged open
conflict with him. Colonel Villas detailed
the gradual contamination Of. the sentiment
Of the Wisconsin delegation on Cleveland
as being the most fitting man to nominate.
The speaker wanted 10 say that the Con-
yention was the greqtest and most magaili.
cent council OF ficemen ever assembled on
the face OF Gods round globe. For three
DAYS it listened 10 = profound debate from
the greatest speakers in the country
upon the various candidates, and the
point OF order was justly raised that il
yves contrary 10 the rules governing the
Convention h thus discuss the candidates,
but it was unanimously voted By the Con-
ycntiOn that the frcest discussion should be
permitted, in order 10 develop all tle facts
obtainabe. The debate OF three days lett
no doubt IN the minds Of the dci,gat' : a.
TO whom the choice Of the Convention
should he. The Wisconsin delegation
came to a harmonious conclusion on this
point. For the part Wisconsin took in
promoting the result the credit belongs to
her people. Ii is to her honor that General
Bragg. standing on that platform, weak IN
voice and hardly able TO be heard, by his
keen satire, his mastery strokes. and his in
cisiye logic. awakened that grand gather
ing to point OF tumultuOus enthusl-
asm in his attack upon Tammany. Tne
speaker then referred TO a telegram that
General Bragg had received from New
York within IN hour after the speech, con-
vcying to him the inspiring news that
Kew York was wild over his speech "
Colonel Villas said that he was entirely
satisfied with the nominations, and he was
sure tina; they would prove satisfactory to
the people. He believed the nominations
would be growing ones. for 1.-the more
YOU inquire into them the more you see
they possess 20 challenge the Admnistra-
ton" The ticket ne thought, would COM
mend itself TO two casses-tO the labor
ers, whose work contributed so much TO
the wealth OF the country, and the con-
scientious men OF thought. He regarded
the ticket as possessing ability and purity
in high degree.
