THE STATE CONVENTION.
Fort Worth the FayOrite--A Bonanza
to the City That Wins the
Prize.
Special to the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
Austin, January 29.-Various cities
are diligently at work endeavoring to
secure the next Democratic state con-
yention which will convene sometime
in August. A canvass of the execu-
tive committees by gentleman per-
sonally acquainted with nearly all the
members and q warm and active
friend of Fort Worth reveals that II
leads all the other candidates with al
most majority already assured In its
favor. In fact, it is conceded here that
if Fort Worth goes to work with her
usual vim, the prize is hers. The oc-
casion will be one of unusual interest
on account of the phases
which have lately developed
In state politics, and will be bonan-
"a to the city that secures 1t. About
/. 500 delegates will be In attendance,
besides at least two or three thousand
visitors. Altogether 1t Is an affair
worthy the efforts of me Fort to secure,
as all She has TO do is to go In and win.
She will lose much of her old-time
prestige If she fails to make the scoop.
Houston wants it badly, and has her
emissaries here, and Galveston wants
II again but the idea seems to prevail
that il is North Texas turn and that
the Fort should get it II she wants u.
As she has never yet failed to gobble
up all the good things that were oiier-
ed, refusal Is not anticipated.

The eloquent gentleman was severe
on the fence-cutters, but would not
prescribe fine for the rich and stripes
for the poor. No punishment severe
enough could be devised for the mid
night depredator nor would the fence
cutter "meet his deserts till he stands
on the Stygian shore and reads the
record of his acts and his condemna-
ton by the red glare of hell"
Mr.. Swan of Clay is bold free
thinker, has ideas of his own and is
never afraid to express them. He is
not follower, but advances to the
front where duty calls and is utterly
free from that sort of policy that waits
for the people to blaze away and mac
adamise perilous places. He is practlc-
al, intellectual and useful.
Mr.. Chambers still maintains his
influence in the house. His speaking
and work tell mostly on the COM
mittees, but he is power on the floor
of the house, and is regarded as one
of the hardest workers and most prac-
teal men of the body. His views are
sound on all subjects, and withal
liberal to fault. a.,
Terrell's great speech fills ten solid
columns in the Statesman this morn
ing. 1t probably also appears in the
News. 1t is understood that the
Globe-Democrat refused an offer OF
$l75 per column to publish 1t, and that
| North Texas paper is willing to pub
| lish it for much less.

pearance of faint praise of the adj
ministration. Mr.. Hancock enjoys
the reputation by being the possessor of
immaculate backbone, but the general
impression is that it has at last
uh5ent to high pressure
of scathing criticism. Few
believe that he was not correctly re-
ported in the News interview, in fact
he tacitly admits the correctness him
self if to-day's report be accurate, but
finding the administration more
strongly intrenched than he at first
supposed, he is now disposed to hedge
and thus escape the volume of censure
which the attack upon Ireland and
the legislature brought down upon
him. There are indications that he is
extremely sick of the whole business,
and it is said that when he concluded
his interview with the Post reporter.
