toms Successor.
BAYLOR COUNTY.
Attention is called TO the head OF our
announcement column this week to the
name of Hon. w. 0. Davis OF Gainesville
as candidate for representative to con-
gress of this, the Fifth congressional dis
trict. Mr.. Davis has long been citizen
of Cooke county, filed many positions of
honor, gained the reputation as an able
attorney at law, made an enviable record
In the state senate, and was recognized
as one of the most able and fearless mem
bers from North Texas in the past legis-
lature, and we feel warranted in saying
II elected will ill the position with honor
and credit to himself and to the satisfac-
ton of his many friends throughout this
district.-[Seymour Cresset.
CLAY COUNTY.
After all the names that have been sug-
gested and urged more or less, to con-
tend for the mantle of j. w. Throckmor-
ton, it now seems that the contest Is mar
rowed down to race between Hon. w
o. Davis of Gainesville, and Hon. Silas
Hare of Sherman--all the other proposed
candidates having declined to make the
race. While admitting Judge Hare's
ability, the whole west end of the district
will be largely in favor of Mr.. Davis, and
the latter will probably carry Cooke,
Montague, Wise, Clay, and the other
Western counties almost solid. Mr..
Davis Is man of unquestionable ability
firm, honest, industrious and reliable
and he would make his district faithful
servant in the national halls of legislation
He has none of the demagogue aud but
little of the politician about him, but he
has the vertebrg and other sound timber
In him of which statesmen are made

DENTON COUNTY.
The gentleman whose name graces the
head of this notice, is to-day the most
prominent aspirant for congressional
honors in this, the fifth district of Texas
He was in the city Tuesday shaking hands
with friends, and his pleasant visitto this
Office is acknowledged. Mr.. Davis is a
man true to the ''manor born" and as a
lawyer and statesman he is held In
highest esteem by all who love to admire
men for noble and patriotic traits. The
Post has the honor of being the first
paper in Texas to bring this rising Young
statesman to public notice in its support
of him four years ago for the same posi-
ton, and 1t will cheerfully use all
honorable means to secure his election.
