fully ignored. Fresh Democrats
were the favored ones. IL
is believed that OF the thirteen delegates
appointed j. NJ. Strong, editor OF Cross
Timbers, is the only one that does not
belong TO the labor orders.
A lively time Is expected at Montague
next Saturday. The opinion prevails
that many OF the alliance will not stand
true Democratic test, in which event a
split is inevitable, aud two tickets Tor
county officers, for representative and
for congress will be the result some
good Democrats have worked hard TO
avert this condition of affairs, but the
secret work of local demagogues has
prevailed, and the contest will be full OF
strife.
IL has come out that the labor orders
will try to nominate j. +. Milburn OF our
county for representative. Mr.. Milburn
! Is reported to be a Greenbacker. Should
this fall DR.. Elliott is to be a running
second. 1t is also the opinion that w.
Il. Lamb has good eye on the situation,
and that he Is hedging nobly. He
! planned his election as chairman here last
Saturday, and has also arranged for his
election as chairman Of the county con-
| vention. This success would place him
In line Of easy promotion.

convention assembled here on the evening
of the oath inst, Chairman w. ID. Allen
| presiding Hours before the time for
meeting 1t was evident that members Of
the Farmers alliance had decided to cap
ture the convention, rs advised by Presi-
dent Lamb in his "secret circular OF June
2G, but upon assembling it was found
that could not be done, and after an hour
spent In wrangling over the question as
To who were Democrats and whether
those who took part in the Dye Mound
convention were entitled to voice IN the
convention, it was decided that all who
would pledge themselves to support the
regular nominees OF the Democratic par
ty should be allowed to participate The
convention then proceeded TO elect dele
gates TO the county convention, TO meet
10 Montague on the 3lst OF July, and from
what is known of the gentlemen selected
IT is believed that majority of them
will stand for Democrats and Democratic
principles, Though the heavens fall"
ROGER Q, MILLS DISTRICT
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, July 27.-The capture of
Bell county by Gen. Ross yesterday is re-
garded here as breaking the backbone of
the Martin boom in this section of the
state, and other strong agricultural coGn-
ties. II is now considered certain that
Bosque county will instruct for Gen.
Ross.
Roger Q. Mills is considered as greatly
strengthened by the boom given him at
Bolton. The congressional contest In this
district bids fair to have some very pecu-
liar phases. Mills home county (Na-
varro) Is said TO be so weak in his sup
port that il will probably nominate and
support Saunders, while Saunders home
county (BelD cones forward as Mills
chief supporter
HANCOCK WILL BE THERE.
