THE CAMPAIGN.
Political Speaking Last Night in
Front of the opera House.

rrOuG VI LILO Sp6rd 1OuS0'
There was a large political gathering
last night on Ninth street, near the opera
house. The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Central Democratic club
of Travis county. The Manning
Rifle band furnished delightful music
for the occasion. Mr.. Frank Maddox
presided and introduced the speakers,
in the order named: Messrs. j. NJ. Brack-
enridge and j. H. Burts, opposing oandi-
dates for county Judge, Judge Burts be-
ing the democratic nominee; W. R.
Handy, democrat, and Geo. B. Jones,
independent candidates for the Legislature;
James H. Robertson, democratic nom
inee for district attorney, and Frank
Morris and A. j. Peeler, esq.
Judge Breckenridge good naturally
reviewed his own official record, which
Judge Burts, however, revised rather crit
ically and not very Complimentary to his
opponents administration. Both con-
fined their speeches to county affairs as
affected by the duties of that Office.
The speeches of Messrs. Handy and
Jones were both as acceptable as could be
expected to a mixed audience of demo
Gratis and republicans, that of the former
especially being marked for its fair dis
cussion of the issues of the present cam
paign, personal to himself and the other
candidates.
Mr.. Jones struck off on the old tune of
monopolies and democratic extravaganza
in the control of state affairs, and was
very effectually answered by the argu-
ments of District Attorney Robertson
who followed him in an able address.
Mr.. Frank Morris made a strong APP
peal for unity in support of
the straight democratic ticket. In
the course of his speech
when abiding to some statement, alleging
intoxication of Judge Breckenridge, Mr..
A. j. Peeler, as son .in-law of Judge Brack.
enridge, it seems felt called upon to de-
nounce the statement as false; and subse-
quently,when Mr.. Peeler was accorded the
stand and spoke in Judge Brackenridge's
defense, Mr.. Morris retorted in similar of.
fensive language to Mr.. Peeler. The
meeting closed, however, without further
special incident.

Beats the World.

The old reliable Milburn wagon beats
the world for durability, workmanship
and material. 1t is the best on wheels,
and thousands of farmers all over this
land will attest to the fact. 1t is truly
farmers friend, land it is sold at prices to
suit the times. The Milburn is put up in
all sizes and at all prices. Farmers and
others should call at Dick Cunningham's
the jovial agent in this city, if they want
wagons. Down at his ware rooms there
is a big stock. He also has the best
buggies that skill and money can put up.

tended all day.
Rev. Mr.. Blum delivered two sermons,

Isaiah, and the one at noon on the duties
of Parents to Children and Children to
Parents" The congregation seemed
highly pleased with DR.. Blum's services.
The choir rendered elegant singing and
never left the temple from $3.50 O'Clock in
the morning until the closing. Mrs.
Fannie Campbell, Miss Kreisle and Mr..
Karber seemed in very fine voice. Mrs.
d. Friedman, although fasting all day,
seemed untiring in her efforts to play at
the organ

AFTER MANY DAYS.
A Lost Mail Pouch Recovered
From Watery Grave.

lSLLl '" "OOAJ NfA"FS'
A wet and very badly disfgured mail
pouch with contents was received at the
Austin postotfice yesturday.
1t was perfectly natural that it should
be soaked and all out of order, for it had
lain at the bottom of creek nearly a
year.
On the 9th of last October, during big
rise in the creek, the mail carrier between
Bastrop and Red Rock, attempting to
cross swollen stream, was washed down
andlost the pouch, and it was not found
until last Thursday evening.
When swept away by the raging waters
it contained bundle of WEEKLY STATES
MANS, package of fifty-thre letterss,
and two registered letters, one containing
$40 bill, the other $40 and IS bill.
The first was not injured, but thu two
last were badly injured but not so much
as to destroy their value.
The pouch was found bya lot of boys
and letters it contained will be forwarded
to their proper destinations.

MOUNTAIN BARBECUE.
A Splendid Affair Most Excel
lently Conducted.


For the first time in the history of the
romantic region of the country twenty five
miles northwest of the city, a grand bar
becue was given last Thursday.
1t was the first social and political
occurrence of the kind, and no effort was
spared to make it pleasant and a great
success.
The managers were John W. Rutlege
and Winston Meyers, and they went to
work with a will; and too much
praise cannot be given them for
the pains taken in providing
for the big crowd and for
the kindness and hospitality bestowed
upon all who attended,
There were many from the city, and
scores of folks from mountain sides and
valleys for miles around. There were old
and young men, mothers aud fair, bright
eyed daughters, and CHEEKY children with
out end.
Candidates were there, too, and they
spoke in the order named: Hon. B. G.
Giles, Hon. George Glasscock, Judge
Sheeks, General Handy, Mr.. Jones, Hon e.
Felix Smith, Judge Burts, Judge Brack-
enridge, g. M. Campbell George Walton,
M ijor Joe Stewart, and Mr.. w. p. Burns, a
lecturer for the Farmers Alliance.
All the candidates are said to have
spoken well, and it is undeniably true
that all ate of the fine meats and other
eatables, well prepared and well served,
with appetites that seemed never to be
satisfied.
The candidates and other guests speak
in the highest terms of the affair, and are
loud in their praise of the treatment re-
celved at the hands of the managers and
of the kindness of the good people of the
neighborhood, whom they met for the
first time.
