Special TO the Gazette.
| LoNovInw, May ll.--Instead Of be-
log an interviewer, your corresponds
ent has been interviewed. In other
words, he has been called to time, and
the question asked why he has not had
something to say In regard to the opin-
ion Of Gregg county's voters on the
political situation. In answer to this,
| your correspondent desires 10 say that
the feelings OF the people have been
changed toward certain expected cam
didates. Many who have been earnest
In their desire to sec Gov. Ireland his
own successor are now lukewarnl as to
his nomination, and think the word
sage would be more applicable to
some other prominent nen of Texas
than TO him.
Mr.. Gibbs aspirations were at one
time almost unanimously seconded by
the democracy here; now he Is not so
favorably spoken of. ''Toadyism to e,ii-
tors" IL what they call II here, mani
Testing u desire on his part to create
boom for himself In the press of the
state.
To his interviewcrs your corresponds
ent may be permitted TO state that, al
though perfectly proper FOR reporter
To watch the political thermometer
and note lis daily changes, Items of
local news, even OF small moment,
are more sought for In any COM
| munity than are his re-
ports of the status Of candidates; and
further, his attempts 10 foist hia pri-
vate views upon the public MS those OF
the community which herepresents In
a paper, and thereby cndeayor to create
iol a desired candidate a boom that
only exists IN the imagination OF HIM
sell and friends, Is certainly reprehen-
sible--and too much of tits being done.
4 Your correspondent here has RETAINED
from noticing feeling as regards
would.be candidates, because mems
Views ne to the availability of persons
for certain positions change: and he
has noticed too, that no matter what
their preconceIved notions may be the
action of the convention Is generally
sustained by the party.

. any opposition, Messrs Chiffon OF Ty-
Ter ana Perkins OF Hopkins county de-
Ginning to run under any clrcum-
cesstnn.
Hon. Sam Cundifl of Longview, our
present iloatorial representative, IL
being urged from all parts OF the dis

fuses to again become u candidate, and

bent, Judge II. j. McCord, being his

There IA an element here, leavened
bv their Wing progenltors, who will
affiliate with the Republicans OH ac-
count Of their high tarill ideas, but
the real Democrats are every one in
J favor OF pressing the matter in the
Chicago convention, tearing the label
: Democrat from the brow of every
, Republican In the ranks of Democ-
, racy, and compelling Republican anil.
ators everywhere TO be known aud
called as they are--Republlcans.
