NOTES FROM WACO.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, July l0.--The Central
railroad carried lots Of candidates aud
citizens to Ross station, eleven miles
northwest Of Waco, to-day Senator A.
W. Terrell aud Gen. Ross were the chief
speakers. Their remarks were about the
same rs both have made at other places
during the canvass. Ross Is in the field
in opposition TO the advice Of his physi-
clan, and his friends fear this hot weather,
with his efforts, will tell on him.
The tickets printed for the Democratic
primaries in this county week from to-
day bear the names Of Hancock, Maxey,
Ireland and Terrell. The legislative rep
resentatives will vote for senator as the
people instruct in the primaries. Ter
rells friends are hoaeting that he will
carry the county. II the anti-Terrell vote
can be concentrated on either Hancock or
Maxey IT is doubtful If Terrell can win.
Gov. Ireland is hardly heard OF In the race.
