a squad of disgruntled soreheads to dis
rupt the Democratic party in the county
in the convention held here on the 18th,
inst. The boilers found themselves so
emphaticallY sat down upon that since
nothing has been heard from them. But
little is said of politics; everybody being
for Hogg and Martin, there is no ground
for discussion. For county offices the
woods are full of candidates, there being
from three to five for each. The canvass
among them commences tomorrow at
Chandler and closes on the 18th, prox. +,

is all the go for governor.
RUsK COUNTY.
HENDERSON, TEX, June %, 1880.
Editor Gazette.
Rusk county is almost solid for Hogg-
A perfectly solid Hogg delegation will go
to the convention at San Antonio. PEN
dleton for lieutenant-governor, and Nc
Gaughey for commissioner of the land
office are popular here, and so far as
heard from they will have no opposition
in this county. The contest between
Hubbard aud Kilgore for congress grows
intensely interesting. Three weeks ago
it was conceded by all that Rusk county
would go for Kilgore, but the tide has
changed and the Hubbard men are claim
ing this county for their favorite.
The hasty manner in which Harrison
county called their county convention
and instructed for Kilgore is con-
demned here. The true blue
Democrats, who believe in fairness and
honest methods and who have to put
their shoulders to the wheel of the Dem
ocratic wagon and push 1t up the hill and
over the rocks, swear that they can I
defend the Harrison county Democratic
~ convention. 1t seems now that
few men in their zeal to boom Kilgore
have created a boomerang.
The supporters,of Hubbard at Timpson,
iG Shelby county, have organized an en-
thusiastic Hubbard club, and indications
now are that that county will 60 for the
ex-mInister. In Pamela he has strong
following.
HUBBARD AT COMMERCE.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
COMMERCE, Ten. June Ex-Governor
Hubbard made his Introductory speech
in Hunt county here to-day. He arrived
early in the morning by private convey
ance from Black Jack. All day long up
TO about O'Clock the Anders house was
crowded with ad airing friends and ac-
Quaintanoes of the governor. At 2
o CLOCK the great throng of 500 or more
of the yeomanry of Hunt county, headed
by the Commerce band, repaired to the
grounds especially prepared for the &C.
casion, and there listened with marked
attention for two hours and forty min
utes to the words of q great statesman,
who assured the people if elected and
ever had occasion TO offer an 'Objec-
tion' that he would give a reason for
the hope that was in him.
Governor Hubbard handled without
gloves the ub-treasury bill, and de-
nounced in the most emphatic and ap-
propriate explosives the Federal election
bill. His notions of deep water for Texas
and reciprocity of trade with Mexico and
the South American states had the ring
of pure metal.
The governor expressed himself in pri-
vate as favoring Hogg and the commits
sion. Hogg's friends are more pro-
nounced daily, and this part of Hunt
county will 20 overwhelmingly for Hogg.
Hubbard goes from here to Wolfe City.

nous.
Two delegates and two alternates were

Alliance turned out and opened the con-
vention, as is shown by the fact that E.
E. Kidder and Hornherg are the dele
gates to the state convention, and they
are the president and lecturer, respec-
lively, of the Farmers Alliance of this
county The delegates to the congress
slonal convention are r. L. Bush and

structed for william Clemens, of New
Braunfels.
The senatorial contest in this, the
Twenty fifth district, is between Clemens
aud Judge Kone. of San Marcos. Will
liam Clemens is the favorite of the farm
ers owing to his noble fight in the last
legislature for the rate bill. The dele
gates TO the representative convention
are David Martin and j. Il. Baldwin,
uninstructed. The only state officers in
stTucted besides Hogg, was Henry E.
Mccullough, for treasurer. The conven-
tion was stormy owing to the conflict be-
tween the Alliance elements and others.
Much feeling will be aroused over the
representativeship, there being candi-
date from this county, Hon. Carl
Goethe.
