DobrieD and T. a. Rhodes. 1t is not
known positively how they stand. It
may be safely said that Collin is mixed
and badly mixed. While Hogg has more
| followers in the delegation than either
candidate, he has not q majority over
| all. The delegation is headed by Hon.
j W. Throckmorton.

IN SHELBY COUNTY.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
CENTER, TEX. June Estate and
congressional politics are very generally
discussed. Hogg and the commission
find very general favor among the mem
bers of the Alliance, but the opposition,
which is divided, seems TO have no lead
err, and it is probable that Shelby will
Instruct for Hogg. Still a few days
may change this aspect of affairs.
.nf tI,a
business men of Shelby county shows
that they, with an occasional exception,
are opposed to Hogg and the commits
sion. In the congressional race Hub
bard is gaining ground, but 1t is possible
that Kilgore will carry the county. More
than ons-half of the county candidates
hail from this precinct.

MUCH HOT.
AUSTIN, TEX, June Il, 1890.
Editor Gazette.
The hot season is on in dead earnest
hereabouts. The high political temper
AZURE seems to intensity the solar heat.
In other words, the quantity of animal
heat generated in Hogg S corporal mass,
together with the heat irradiated from
Hall s red head keeps the liquid in the
thermometer a-Cooking.
ia Ixys hot Ja
render of his railroad pass is not justified
by his reasons given, that he, like other
ffioials, accepted it only upon a mutual
understanding, between himself and the
road, of pure motives on the part of both
parties; that the pass is his property
strictly upon this understanding alone;
that the road is now ''out OF cou1t'' in
pleading, at this late day a considera-
ton not expressed, implied nor conceived
in the original understanding; and
that Hogg is still legally and
morally entitled to ride on
his pass, even if travelling
on trip to prosecute the railroad COM
pany. Hogg is in favor of the railroad |
commission; he also seems to favor the |
short Hall. But rather than come cut |
short Hall would rather Cook the whole |
Hogg Gin the SOUP Cook wants his |
pork well done, He thinks, too, that il |
the red racer would Hall off and give |
him more carving room he could glut |

Meantime the swine seem to be heading |
towards the clover field, and the road |
ahead looks down grade. But the head |

animal seems to be dreadfully tough. |
In fact they may never bs able to Cook |

of the Gazette.
PLANO, TEX, June 13.-Summer is
nearly upon us and we begin to feel the
effect of summers sun, augmented by
the heat from the political pot. as ebulIi-
ton has certainly commenced. Politics
seems to be engrossing the minds of the
people more than usual.
Plano and vicinity are well supplied
with local politicians, and the political
issues are thoroughly debated every day.
In looking forward to the time which is
