The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-08-23

was summary and arbitrary. Kingsbury
finally returned and was allowed to take
his seat, He made an amusing and gallant
speech on question of privilege and was
warmly applauded. Chairman Grace and
Mr.. Wear also made acceptable explana-
tions of their positions in the matter, and
order being restored, the proceedings
were resumed, and concluded without fur
Their interruption till the convention evil
IDENTIFY concluded it would be better to ad-

fusion.
ToMoRRow's STRUGGLE
will open with nominations for the court of
appeals. 1t is thought that one, if not two
of the incumbents will fail OF nominal
ton. Your correspondent lnclines to the
opinion that Judge Cleveland, of Calves
ton, will be one of the elect in place of
Hurt, unless there is north Texas com
bine to put him in by the friends of
Gaines and Henry, in which event Wilson
is likely to be left instead of Hurt. As
stated, however, it will not be surprising
if two judges of the old bench are dis
carded.
The state treasuryship will be the next
excitement 1t is believed Wortham's
chances as a dark horse have greatly
improved since yesterday, and those of
Governor Lubbock at all events are far
more uncertain.
AS Governor Ross was nominated to-
day large and excellent portrait of him
took the place of that of Mrs. Cleveland
the transformation having been pre-
arranged by Colonel Ermenwein. All the
arrangements for the convention are
superb.
Among the devices on the transper-
encies in last nights procession was this:
at takes our Hogg to devour the wildcat
insurance companies out of Texas" He
(Hogg) will doubtless be nominated like
Ross, by reclamation. Cooper and Hall
will have no opposition and it is not be-
lieved that Claiborne will make any
serious demonstration against Mccall for
com troller. The convention will doubt
less finish its work to morrow. The hour
of meeting is 9 a. m.
