HENRIETTA.
She Does not Send Delegates to the Dallas Con-
ventiOn-The Reasons Why.

She Does not Send Delegates to the Dallas Con-
vention-The Reasons Why.
Special to the Gazette.
HENRIETTA, TEX. July 5.-On the 3rd
inst. there was fioated over the town a
circular requesting ''every body inter-
ested in cheaper freight rates for Texas,
to meet at the courthouse July 4, at 10
o'clock, a. m to select a representa-
ton to send to the state convention to be
at Dallas on July 8. -
Pursuant to the above call the repre-
sentative business men of the city met
together, and discussed fully pro and con
the question of railroads ana the Dallas
convention. The sense of the meeting
is fully set forth in the following reso-
buttons, which were unanimously
adopted:
l. That the meeting deem It inadviS-
able to send delegates to the convention
called to meet at Dallas July 8, 1889.
2. That the business men of Henrietta
fully realize the important part the rail-
roads have done and are doing in devel-
oping the magnificent resources of the
state.
8. That we believe that railroads con-
transacting their business. and in
that respect they do not differ
from individuals, and we fully
recognize the impossibility of so adjust
ing their rates as to satisfy all the vari-
Gus conflicting interests striving for SUI
premacy.
4. That we, the business men of Hen
rietta, hereby cordially invite all rail-
roads contemplating lines into Texas to
come to Henrietta, and to all such we will
say, "Our latchstring is always out
Signed by committee.
No, sir. Henrietta has no fight to
make. The fact is we have no time to
fight; our people are too busy for such
business. And then again, we are not in
a humor for fighting. The truth is,
we are in the midst of prosperity and are
doing well enough and feel to happy to
engage in anything sanguinary. If our
present prosperity continues in another
year or two we can buy us a railroad or
so and run them to suit our fancy.

THE PRESIDENTS MOVEMENTS.

He is Accorded OvatiOns All Along His Ride
from Woodstock to New London.
NEW LONDON, CONN, July 5.-The
weather at Woodstock was bright and
pleasant this morning. President Har-
rison arose shortly after O'Clock and
filled in his time before breakfast by
pIanting a tree in the garden before the
fSosyen residence which he presented to
or. Bowen. Secretary Tracey, Cover
Nor Bulkely, Justice Miller, Senator
Hawley, Congressman Reed and other
guests assisted at the planting. After
break fast the president was driven to
Putnam where a special train was
waiting to carry him to New London.
He was accompanied by Secretary
Tracey, Governor Bulkely, Congressman
Reed, Clarence w. Bowen, W. E. d.
Stokes and L. stewart. The president
stood on the lower step of the car and
shook hands with two or three hundred
people. All along the route to New
London crowds of people gathered at
railway stations and cheered as the train
stood by. AT Norwich there was a very
enthusiastic demonstration. Two hun
dred men, women and children cheered
heartily as the train drew into the sta
ton. The president appeared on the
platform and made short
speech. Three rousing cheers were
given for the president, and
Secretary Tracey, Governor Bulkely and
Senator Hawley also made brief adj
dresses. The train reached New London
at 1886 o. clock, where another demon=S
stratiou was made. Cheers were given
for the president as he alighted from the
train and was escorted to the boat land
ing and assigned to a seat in the barge.
Following the President were Secretary
Noble, Senator Dixon Of Rhode Island
and other members of the party, who,
with Governor Ladd of Rhode Island and
Senator Aldrich, were rowed out to the
Despatch in midstream. presidents
salute was fired in honor of the chief
magistrate, and at 10 O'Clock the Des-
patch weighed anchor and proceeded to
Newport, where she is expected to arrive
at 1870.

STAND TOGETHER.
Only Way the Dallas Freight Conven-
ton Can Result in Good to the State.
The People VIII Have to Show Themselves as
solidly United as the Railroads-HoW
Conventions are Worked.

PALESTINE, Tex, July 4, 1889.
To the Gazette.
am sorry to see that some people look
upon THE GAZETTE s effort in behalf of
the people in the state as simply local
matter and feel that they have no in
terest in it. refer to THE GAZETTE's
effort to get low rates for the Palace.
This, as any fair-minded man could
plainly see, was an enterprise that the
whole state was directly interested in,
and success for the Palace meant success
for Texas, but there are too many
of us who can t see beyond the smoke of
our own chimney. a good many of those
kind of peple ("narrow gauge critters)
are now saying the same of the Dallas
freight convention. They say sit is no
fight of ours, etc. In this way 1t IS
hard to accomplish anything. However,
self-interest prevails, and many are
afraid to take action in favor of the Dali
las meeting, fearing that their town or
section would be placed on the "black
list'' or boycotted by the railroad Off
Gals. This is why there Is not more
united action on the part of the people
in such movements. 1t is every man and
town for himself or. itself, and this
the railway people know and all that is
necessary to make the people clay low'
is to have it limited around that
s'we will move the shops or eat
ing house, or some such
thing and that settles it with that town.
Neither Dallas nor Fort Worth nor any
other one town in the state can accom-
plish anything in the way of relief for the
state without the assistance and coop
Grafton of the people of the state. The
railroads are combined to a man-solid,
SO to speak, and they stand by each
other. If the people ever succeed in do
ing anything, they will also have to be
united. AS it is now and has been in all
such movements as the coming Dallas
convention, the railroad officials run the
convention. One town has some certain
railroad improvement that they don It
want to lose, another town wants some
improvement and they are promised the
improvements if they will keep quiet.
One man wants a railroad pass or other
favor and he gets it, and that naturally
causes him to become tcool, - if not
"'cold' on the movement, and the first
thing we know the movement is very
"chilly - if not "frOze' up. a
"promise'' here and pass there and a
threat of moving a railroad shop here
and placing it elsewhere, etc. does the
business. 1t is to be hoped the Dallas
convention will prove an exception, but
if it does the people will have to stand
together, and if they do this it will be
the first time they have done so where
the. interest of the state was at stake.

DALLAS.
Brick Mason Found Dead in His Bed-Work
of the District Court.

VI Iu6 DlblEiCt SOuEt
FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, July 4.-This morning
at the breakfast hour at the Southern
hotel on Sycamore and Oleander streets,
James Head, a guest, not appearing
from his room on time, an attache of the
house was sent to call him. Repeated
knocking failed to get a response from
him and the door was thrown open. Head
was found in his bed as he had turned in
last night, but he was cold in the en-
brace of death. 1t is stated by those
who observed his movements last evening
that he was drinking when he went to
bed, and to this cause doubtless is due
his sudden taking off through heart dis
ease or the failure of some vital to do its
work. Head was a brick mason, and so
far as known has no relatives in this Sec
ton.
