scrap of history.

Special 10 the Sazette.
GAIERsvILE, TEX, Oct. 1.-The Daily
Register this morning publishes an inter-
esting scrap Of history with reference to
the politics Of this section. It has been
believed here for some time that j. II.
Jackson, state lecturer for the knights OF
Labor, and who also held prominent
position in the Farmers alliance, was re-
sponslble for much Of the division among
the people in this section. Jackson, in a
speech here two weeks ago, denied that
he had ever denounced the Democratic
party, and called upon God TO witness the
truth Of his statement Many were dis
posed to believe him, and some even
thought he bad been much slaudered
man. IL seems now that on Septt mber
IL, prior to the date ne spoke here, Jack
son delivered speech at a picnic In
Grayson county, a few miles East Of
Denison. Now comes an affidavit
signed by four OF Grayson county's
most respectable and reliable citizens
which says that his speech ON September
III was one OF unusual violence and bit
terness toward the Democratic party, and
that Ia said speech he made usa OF the
following expression; ~ thank God |

will never be In " again" The object
OF Jackson's speech on that occasion, II
seems, was to build up the Anti .Monop.
oily party, which was soon TO meet in
Grayson county. The Register SAYS IL
has further proof II any be necessary.
Judge j. r. Hall, the present lncum-
bent, aud Prof Hayworth, nominee OF the
Farmers alliance and Knights OF Labor
for county Judge, will address the voters
Of Gainesville at the courthouse next
Monday night, Judge John Il. Lewis,
who was also In the race, withdrew at the
request OF the so.called Democratic ex-
ecutipe committee OF this county.

Correspondence OF the Gazette
AURORA, TEX, Sept. 2s Judge Silas
Hare, candidate for congress, addressed
the people Of Aurora and vicinity this
evening. His speech was followed by
applause. His criticism on Mr.. Mack 3
Views on taxation was superlativc. lie
said Mr.. Mack Is In favor OF the removal
of all taxation save on individuals worth
from $4,000 up, milllonaires, and on
Injuries. Judge Hare said 1t would be
impossible to get such bill through con-
gress. The man who introduced IL would
be the laughing stock OF the house. An
act like that would be unlawful, because
discriminating legislation, and Il would
be undemocratlc. The folly OF 1t might
be conjectuned when we could see the
mlllionaires wrapping themselves In the
ample folds OF the cloak OF "personalty''
and lying down to pleasant dreams OF no
taxes to pay, No man would be worth
quite $4,000 when the song OF the tax
gatherer was heard In the land. On this
plan Of running the government, about
9S,000,000 would fall 10 Texas as her
part to pay There are three men In the
state worth s4,0O0,0O0. The So 900, OnO
would have TO be collected of these
three Texans Don't you see this was
"too funny for anything"
Judge Hare begged the people not to
send Mr., Mack to represent him. Neither
OF the other candidates, Col. Pickett and
Mr.. Mack, have been here yet. Col,
Pickett has strong following In this,
the county OF his residence
