Estimate on Ross' Majority Made by the
ChirInan of ths state Democratic Exeou-
tive Committee.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Dec. II THE GAZETTE
correspondent to-day asked Henry Exall,
chairman OF the state Democratic execu-
tive committee, what he believed would
be the majority for the state ticket on
the official count Of the votes cast at the
late election. Mr. Exall replied that
from the best unofficial information at
hand, he believed the majority would
reach at least l40 900, and II might pos.
sibly 20 as high as 10000. This Will
not be cheering news for Or. A. NJ.
Cochran, OF this city, late candidate FOR
governor on the Republican ticket,
who, right after the election, Expressed
confidence in the belief that he had held
Gen. Ross down 10 10, 600 majority.
THE GAZETTE correspondent asked Mr..
Exall
"What about the United States senate
rial situatiop7"
al am saying nothing, whatever, on
that subject. My position IL such thSt II
would be improper for me to take sides
or express preference. All can say Is
that II is mighty interesting race as at
present indicated"
The correspondent may not have been
justified 10 the judgment, but the thought
sprung up in his mind that
political history has many Instances re-
corded where men OF less prominence,
promise and popularity in such peculiar
situations as the present have stood with
hand up TO sn ear, listening for the
voice Of destiny TO break on the tym-
panum Of that organ. Mr.. Exall is on
mis- way TO Houston TO attend a Masonic
conclaye TO assemble on December %,
thence he goes 10 Kentucky on visit 70
