it would like to be on the instructions
which were given to the delegates from
Limestone county, who sat in the Pictorial
convention at Groesbeck. They may
have obeyed, and they may have dis
obeyed, instructions. The true facts will
soon come out. But we do know that the
McLennan county delegates were in
structed to vote as a unit for Kincaid
They Tor some of them) disobeyed in
structious. They may alege the Lime
stone delegates did wrong, but that does
not change the fact that it was wrong,
too, to divide the vote of McLennan, and

sheep, it may be reasonably supposed he
will meet some encouragement. To what
extent is yet to be seen. He is said to be
fluent talker and of pleasing address.

1t makes big brindle bull mighty mad
if you wave red flag at him; but it

General Webster Flanagan, of Hender-
son, was in the city Wednesday. He ex-
presses himself as confident of the
election of Harrison aid Morton, though
he is not betting on the election, because
he is a member of the church. The general

Marion Martin says that he is running
as an independent candidate for gov
