Yes, Brother Lehman, Hogg Will follow Sena-

Attorney General Hogg's speech at
Rusk was strong one. He knows little of the
arts of the rhetoEjcian. but when it comes to
marshaling facts and driving an argu y ent home,
he is without an equal. His manner of present
ing the points of argument suggests a pile
driver in full operation.-T Crockett Courier.
There are numerous candidates an

James S. Hogg made his first speech
of the campaign at Rusk last Saturday. The
speech was long one and strong for Mr..

The Bolton Journal is a very large
paper, a regular blanket sheet, and is doing
hard work for George G. Pendleton. who wants
to be the next lieutenant governor of Texas
The Journal might as well attempt to galvanize
corpse to life as to attempt to pump enthusiasm
into the people of West Texas on the subject of
Pendleton. We want nothing to do with him.

J. w. Throckmorton will to- morrow make an
address to the people of Bell county at Bolton. -
THillsboro Reflector.
Pray tell us what he has ever done to entitle
him to be called that grand old statesman. -
While in congress he was chairman of the COM
mittee on Indian affairs, and if he ever reported
rity there is no record c: it, Enumerate some of
his brilliant strokes of stateCraft.-l Crockett
Courier.
Hon. G. c. Pendleton of Bell county
has announced a candidate for lieutenant
governor and has declared himself in favor of
railway commission. Mr.. Pendleton is one of
the ablest men in his section, and like such
brainy men as Coke, Reagan and Throckmorton
and all our representatives In congress as well
as hundreds of other prominent public men,
favors the only course left the people of Texas
TO prevent these corporations from becoming the
masters instead of servants of the people. Mr..
Pendleton's views are correct, conservative and
suit the Review first rate Farmer S Review.
In advocating Hogg's nomination We,
of course, oppose Throckmorton, not that We
love him less but Hogg none. Those of the
governors friends who feel inclined to bet their
money on him, we remind that he opposed Hub
bard and locked the convention on him, though
the Tyler statesman lacked less than dozen
votes of having two-thiris of the convention.
Again, when Throckmorton took it into his head
that he wanted to go to the senate, he found his
Wellington in Sam Bell MRxey. 1t is well
enough for his friends at this hour to say that he
will not lock the convention OF Jim Hogg. But
If he keeps this promise he will do better than
heretofore, because as above stated, Throck-
morton candidacy for governor in the last de-
cade has been used only as a convention
locker If he viii withdraw in Hcgg's favor
