The political situation to-day, as re-
CARDS the state senatorship, reminds
one of the memorable WellbOrn. Craw-
ford struggle Of two years ago, in this
county. Dead-locks, bolts, independ-
ent candidates, etc, are freely talked
OF, aud the political atmosphere Is cy.
clonish. The meeting of the county
executive committee at the court
house this afternoon was attended by
less than one-half the members. The
committee was in ssion over two
hours and did little else than wrangle,
1t was about evenly divided between
the friends Of Nash and Terrell. The
Nashites were determined to have
call issued for primaries in four county
precincts that failed TO hold under the
regular call last Saturday. AS the
county convention meets in Dallas on
Saturday next. only one days notice
could possibly be given for these pre-
cinct primaries, which it is alleged by
friends of Mr.. Terrell have been
cut and dried for Mr.. Nash since
the primaries of last Saturday. When
the committee finally reached n vote
this afternoon, the proposition to issue
a call for primaries in the four default
Ing districts was voted down by one
majority, the committee deciding that
1t aid not possess the power 10 issue the
call a resolution was.finally carried in
substance, that inasmuch as the pre-.
cinctsN had determined to send dele
gates to the county convention, the |
committee would recommend favor
able consideration of their claims Ly
the county convention, and admit
them TO a seat in that body. Chair
man Cole ofthe county executive COM
mittee this evening informed THE
GAZETTE that he fears q decidedly
stormy time at the convention Satur-
day, and will be greatly surprised if
bolt does not occur. The county is so
near evenly divided between Terrell
md Nash, that great deal depends
IN the admission or rejection of these
lew delegates. No matter which side
wins, the indications are that the

regularity and fraud. Adherents of
Terrell and Nash have been earnestly
