the result, DO, on regaining his lib
oTty, stole two goose. Probably
he expected fourteen years this
time, but what he got was four
months Imprisonment. This natur-
ally stimulated his curiosity, and
at tho earliest subsequent opportu-
nifty he stole q duck. The result
of the experiment this time is that
Mr.. Justice Day has just givOn nm
fourteen days hard labor. If Mr..
Glover only goes on stealing he
will probably be able to enjoy a

of days Imprisonment.

WELLBORN DEFEATED.

The congressional convention
for the sixth district held at WaXa-
hachie closed Its laboFs on Friday
by nominating Judge Joe Abbott,
of Hill county, as the candidate for
congress. The contest in the con-
vention was of several days dura-
ton and had been quite bitter
one. Mr.. Abbott, who captured
the prize, is IN every sense Of the
word dark horse, and worthy
one. Tho contest was in the be-
ginning between Wellborn and
Barney Gibbs, with BeclCham, OF
Tarrant county, before the conven-
ton with only his own county to
back him. Gibbs came out as q
candidate against Wcllborn and
posed as the poor mans friend. the
laborers champion and the great
anti-monopolist. In his speeches
he appealed to the prejudices OF
men and pattcd the knights of La
Dor on the head. Gibbs proved
himself to be demagogue of the
worst kind. He would have the
people of this country divided up
into classes and would array the
poor man against the rich one. He
seems to purposely forget that I'M
der the law al men are equal, that
we have no classes in this country
and that one vote counts just as
much as another. Every voter is
q citizen and there is no distinction
in citizens. The doctrine of Gibbs
is based on communism though of
course he would deny it. Wcllborn
seems to have entered the convcn-
ton as the hindmGst man and had
no chance for the nomination. The
final defeat OF Gibbs and the nomi-
nation of Judge Abbott, by what
ever means brought about, is sig
nal victory for the conservative
men of the district and a just re-
buke not only to Mr.. Gibbs, but 10
every demagogue who tries to win
his way to office by making discon-
tent among the people and array
ing them against one another.
