MONTAGUE, Tex, Sept. 6.-The peo-
pie, generally, are dissatisfied with the
action Of the Henrietta Legislative con-
yention in not making nomination. Mr..
w. ID. Allen, who only lacked q fractional
vote OF receiving the required number TO
secure his nomination, is good man,
and would make good representative,
and but for the fact that some OF the
Montague delegation would rather hazard
the Democratic party than to give In to
the will of the majority, would have been
nominated
The Hon. Olin Wellborn mad many
friends in this county who were in hopes
I rat he would have receive thed nomina-
ton at Waxahachie, but those who know
Judge Abbott know him to be a good
man, and the Sixth district will not have
cause to regret the selection they have
made.
