A POLITICAL PROPHECY.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
CROCKETT, TEX. Aug. 30.-On the
9Th proX. an election occurs here for city
officers. There are some who favor in-
corporation, Others do not. 1t is stated
that j. c. Walters ia the candidate of
those favoring incorporation. Those op-
posing will vote for ]. r. Howard, who
will refuse to qualify.
Hon. John B. Long, recently nomi-
mated for congress by the Democrats of
this district, Is not regarded as an able
man by those here who know him, but
all concede that he is an honest, earnest
and incorruptible man.
There Is q gentleman living here who
has been citizen of Crockett for about
thirty five years. He is wonderful
prophet it seems on political matters.
On the very day that Gen. Lee handed
his sword to Grant he said Grant would
be the next president. In the conven-
ton that nominated Hayes he believed
that Conkling was the man, and when
Hayes was nominated he stated that if he
was elected it would be "by the skin of
his teeth This gentleman was at a
barbecue in this county, near small
railway station, when the wires told the
tale OF Hancock 3 nomination. He de-
ciared from that hour that Hancock was
beaten. When Blaine was nominated
he declared from the moment the news
reached him that "Blaiue will not be
elected, and that the White House
could now prepare for DEM
ocretic occupant. Long before
Harrison was thought of for the presi-
dency he declared that the race would be
between Cleveland and Harrison, and
afterwards Was the only man in the
county to say that Harrison would be
elected. There are other instances, both
state and national, wherein this GENTLE
mau has shown a wonderful foresight.
j.
s. Hogg had not been attorney-general |
four months before he said he would be
the next governor OF Texas. He now, at |
this early day, before Hogg is elected, |
says that after Hogg will be elected gov !
ernor OF Texas a gentleman who now re-
sides in Fort Worth. The name of the |
Fort Worth man is given, and it may be |
said that he is not q professional but a |
general business man. How true this |
prophecy, remains 10 be seen.
CHIcKAsAw LEGISLATURE CoNvENEs.
Special 10 the Gazette.
ARDMoRE, 1. Il. Sept. 1.-The Chick
lsaw legislature convened at Tishomingo |
to-day, and William L. Byrd, the |
newly elected governor, was inaugurated,
together with all other officers. Trouble
was expected between the two parties,
but everything passed off quietly. 1t is
feared that part OF the policy of the
party in power now will be TO eject all
white settlers.
