IT CREATED FuRoR.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX. June 4.-THR GAZETTE or
yesterday did not reach here until rather
late last night and was not generally read
until this morning, The Austin special,
relative TO the rumor that Gen. Ross and
his Waco manager had seen and reviewed
the Brown article prior to its publication,
was read by everybody and created con.
siderable indignation, as Il was known
that Gen. Ross stamps the statement as
absolutely false. Judge Clark says that
no one OF the Ross managers saw or heard
OF the article until Brown published g.
The Examiner this morning has the fol.
: lowing paragraphs on the matter:
IL Is unnecessary TO assure the people OF
Texas that Ross never saw or knew anything
! whatever OF the Brown business until he saw Il
/ In tho News, II the Swain people would nav
more attention u answering such charges than
| they do to fastening their paternity on Ross, SC
might pc better However, It is none OF our
/ funeral,
Judge CLARK must be a versatile cuss, to have
! written the widely diverse documents Ross
\ Interview and speech SwAinis Alexander
speech, and now the Brown Indictment ThSre
| seems To be good deal more in a Waco lawyer
than any one has heretofore supposed.
Judge CLARK says he wrote both the Brown
letter and the Alexander speech The former
TO indicate TO what fearful tension Official
morals could DC stretched, aud the latter TO
show that Lindley Murray was not the only
grammaran the century has produced.
! The Day, yesterday evening, CON
tanned an emphatic denial, auth
orized by Gen Ross, that he
ever saw or heard Of the article
prior to It's publication. Satisfaction Ia
expressed to-day that THE GAZETTE this
morning had the fairness to promptly
publish Gen. Ross denial as wired you
last night. Gen. II. left to-day for
Cameron, Milan county.
POLITICAL MOTIFS.
Special to the Gazette
MINEoLA, TEX, June 4-The political
kettle is beginning TO boil In this section,
Swain is in the lead here for governor.
Hon, VIM. Giles is being strongly
urged by friends from various parts OF
this congressional district to submit his
name to the convention. Capt, Giles Is
an able lawyer and 10 full sympathy with
his party on all measures He has been
very prominent here for some years, but
has not sought political preierment. II
he consents to make the race he will be q
formidable opponent, as he has many
friends TO labor In his behalf, and all rec
ognize his ability.
There is but little doubt but county
convention for nominating county officers
will be called by the chairman OF the
Democratic committee, as he has called
meeting OF the county executive com
,nlttee TO discuss the proprietY OF same
The nominations will be made to meet
the organization known here as the
Union Labor party, who are putting can
didates in the tleld.
THE MATERIAL REQUIRED FOR GOVERNOR.
Correspondence Of the Gazette
GAINESVILLE, TEX, June 3.--As the
time is rapidly drawing nigh when the
various counties will hold their. conven-
lions for the purpose OF nominating those
who should control our governmental at-
fairs for the ensuing two years, feel II
my duty to say word In behalf Of the
man who think will be the next governor
of Texas. The Office of governor OF q
state like Texas should not and must moi
be put upon any man as an experiment
IL must be put upon n man who has
shown us that he knows and appreciates
what is expected of II public offlcer,a mar
who has the nerve to execute his duty re-
gardless of the whims of his would-bC
friends, and regardless OF the prospects
Of promotion. IL should be given to q
, man who has a platform, and who
expresses his views in plain and unmis
akable terms. u should not be giver
to man unknown TO statecra1t 0
man without experience in public life u
show his fitness for the high and
responsible trust. II should not Ot
piyen man Of neutral ideas, nor Il man
! because he was a gallant soldier, nor be,
cause he stands we'll with his neighbors
All these things are good 10 have, bat no:
OF themselves the prerequisites for the
gubernstorial chair.
In summing up the above, believe that
the present comptroller, william j.
Swain, Is the most suitable man OF this
time IN the state OF Texas He is honest,
courageous and positive. He has been a
GOOD citizen IN private life, he Is good
man in public life, and # you desire 10 go
back to the dead issues you will md he
was gallant soldier when his country
needed hlm. He was captain la the regi-
ment of his honored competitor, general
then colonel-Sul Ross.
Gen. Ross has none Of the advantage OF
Col. Swain as soldier. He has none Of
the advantage as good law-abiding cltl-
zen, while on the contrary, Col. swan
has the decided advantage IN public eX-
perIence. Again, Col Swain, after years
OF experience, has decided what measures
should be adopted, what policies should
be pursued, and he has repeatedly eN,
pressed them. Lay aside prejudice and
! local issues, and compare the speeches OF
the two gentlemen, and ! confidently
await the decision that Col. swain s pos
itIye and well-denned platform will out
\ shine the non-committal and neutral posi-
tion assumed by Gen. Ross.
