Pending further business, Judge l.. G.
Alexander Of Waco, being in attendance
on tue district court, was called on for
Democratic speech, and responded in his
usual clear and forcibe manner of put
ting things. He criticised the manner in
which designing men were trying to man
ipulate the votes OF the labor organiZa-
tions. Mr.. j. III. Jackson Of Gainesville
was present and took some exceptions to
the speech, and was permitted to reply.
He made strong charges against the Dem
ocrdtic party for alleged failures to en-
force the law against corporations, and
overlooking the interests of the working
man. Judge Alexander responded in
short speech in which he rragined Mr..
Jackson for attacking the Democratic
party and saying nothing about the Re
publican party. The discussion was con-
tlnued TO some length, and was partici-
peted in by u number Of other gentlemen
on each side. 1t was clearly developed
hat the Democratic party have a strong
opposition in this county, and that that
opposition is represented by strong men.
On the other hand, while u public discus
sion was not thought of by any Democrat
present until 1t had burst upon them, the
fact was clearly demonstrated that men
still remain faithful to the party organiza-
| ton and principles IN this county who
are fully able to defend those principl es

allowing both sides to fully express their
opinions.

night, the l4th inst to enable the COM
mittee TO complete their work.
