/ that the condition Of a1issrs In this dis
trict was uuhrard Of. Such is not the
case. IL is we'll knowa that Ireland and
Schleicber locked g convention some
years ego and ran in this way. The ques-
ton as 10 another convention was settled
by the Democracy Of this district
In the late convention. Mr. Car
nett OF Cooke county introduced
resolution 70 dissolve the convention
and 20 requegs the chairman to order
primary conventions or primary elections
hetd for the purpose OF choosing dele
gGses 70 compose another congressional
convention. After debate this was voted
down, the vote standing hfty-slx against
the resolution and twenty-three In favor
Of II. Soon after this Mr.. Potter's reso-
4 luton WIS introduced and carried, taking
the brides OF. This resolution passed
with ffty-six in favor and tWonty-three
I against IL. Thus you see that the
Democracy OF this district are over
whelming against another conven-
ton, as shown by their vote
upon the two resolutions
there Is no earthly use OF smother one.
There can't be 5000 votes polled In this
district in opposition TO the Democracy.
This leaves $4,000 votes to be divided be-
tween Hare and Pickett, on 1900 votes
each, II they should run each other close,
some 1000 votes more for each OF the two
Democratic candidates than can be polled
for Republican or Independent. There
Is not Republican In the district who
can poll the strength OF his party. II It
was presidential year, the full
Republican vote might be polled for Re-
publican candidate. The idea that there
would be another convention is about
dead In these parts. II no longer has
champion. The people are very well sat.
lshed with things remaining as they are
They are capable OF selecting good
Democrat. This Is what hear the older
heads of the party say, and the figures
say so, too. Here's majority in Grayson
Will be between four and six thousand. >

saw piece In the Sherman Courier to
the effect that the fight on Hare Gbove re-
ferred to might make Grayson elect her
own Roater, but that Is not Endorsed by
anyone scarcely, The harmonious rela-
lions between Cooke and Grayson stll
remain so far as Grayson is concerned,
and the greater part OF Cooke; and the
little bubble which recently bubbled over
the surface has been bufsted."
NO NOMINATION MADE.

vastly exceeded those for equal service
