i DALLAS, Tex, March 27.-This has
been memorable day in DAlss. Never
were there sucn struggles tor state con-
ventions as were made to-day by Fort
worth, Dallas, LImpasas, Austin and
B. Antonio. Delegations were present
from all these cities, and they worked
for their towns with an earnestness that
was truly cOmmendaole. Fort Worth
Wac at . disadvantage this morning be-
| Cause Ii WAS MT represented In the stru g.
gle last Light, and the delegation from
that Town only got n this morning about
an hour before the meeting Of the COM
mittee. Messrs. OILS Eaton, George
Finger, E B Randall and Terrell repre-
st nted the Fort, and the hardest work
ever done for 3 convention was done by
them this morning. They were uncessiDg
and iireleEs. Tney threw their whole
souls into it. Before they got through
with the committee every member was Of
the opinion mat F.rt Worth was the
greatest town in he Union. They knew
all about the wells. They knew Of
THB ELEvRN OUTLETS,
that makes FJrE Wur Dear resemblance
on the map TO SPIDER. They knew Of
her hotels and her hospitality. Tney de-
termined TO locate ems Of their csnVen-
lions In such 8 magnificent town.
Tne Forts delegation were modest;
they only wanted one convention, Snd they
specified the oie they wanted, and on the
very hrst ballot It was bestowed grace
fully oY the sppIecIstiDg mmittee.
Dallas aud San Antonio both old for IT,
bat the Fsrt got there with boIn feet.
The Fort may congratulate herself on hsr
advantages, out she must thank her dele
CATION Tor the compliment she has re-
ceived in getting her the second conVen-
ton within four years.
DALLAS RUsILKs.
Dallas af:er The hroL reverse, went for
the state convention IN earnest. Bud
Connor gave the towns efJrt, and ne
displayed more energy to the
square incn than q Dallas man
ever did before. Conner Is
man of energy Rnd his speech before the
committee WAS splendid. His illusions
TO Fort Worth were msgnaniAoas. 1t
Was the recognition OF an enterprislpg
community by an enterpristng man. The
GAZETTK appreciates II and reciprocates
OILS sentiment. Dallas deserved the Sec
ord convention because Of Conner. She
got 1t because Of CJnnor
LAMPAsAs WELL REPRESENTED.
