RUsK, TEX, Sept. Ga Democratic
| primary election TO nominate county off,
GERS was held throughout the county yes
terday. A large vote was poiled and
| great interest was taken in the election
by the friends of the opposing candidates.
The nomination is considered equivalent
to an election, as the county is largely
Democratic. The returns have been
coming in slowly, and the suspense was
not entirely relieved until to-day, when
the last polling place was heard from,
showing the following persons noml-
mated: DR.. L. Lloyd of Jacksonville,
representatives; Frank B. Quinn, county
judge; w. E. Dorley, county attorney;
John B. Reagan, sheriff; John Fl. Meeks,
county clerk: T. J. Stovall district
clerk; Tom Ballew tax assessor: j. G.
Summers, tax collector; j. G. Loouey,
treasurer, and H. S. GuinnI surveyor
The friends of the victors are to have
big time tonight with brass band, pro-
cessions, firing big guns, etc.
CHARGES DENIED.
Hon. John B. Long, the Democratic
nominee for congress, has denounced
through the local press the charges made
in some portions of the district against
his Democracy, and proposes to meet on
the stump or anywhere else any oppo-
nent, Independent or Republican, that
will accept the wager of battle, and
there is no doubt that he will make his
word good, if he is opposed by anyone,
which is believed to be very doubtful.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 6.-The
Hon. Webster Flanagan, Republican
nominee for governor said to-day: ''My
nomination was square fight between
he Quincy cohorts and myself and L
owned them, and they did all they knew
beat me and am very proud of my
uccess, and the machine in TeXasi not
what it used to be. / do not expect of
course to be elected governor of the
state of Texas at the coming election but
l do believe that the Republican vote
will increased to an extent that will sur
prise the people. l accepted the nOmt-
nation because want to exert my In
f1uence in behalf of the grand old party
and to do all in my power to lead it to
victory. In regard to the commission
amendment, l believe 1t to be wanting in
principle aud there are thousands of
real, true genuine Democrats who can
not be driven into voting for the amend
ment regardless of its insertion in the
Democratic platform. The amendment
will be defeated and the Republican
minority will not be near so small as it
has heretofore BEEN"
