SAN ANTONIO, TEX, June 17.-SaE
Antonio Republicans, and G. A. r.
circles particularly, are just now agita-
ted over an event unparalleledlin Texas.
At meeting last night of F.. o. c. and
post G. A. R., the adjunct was in
structe1 to erase the name of Col. J. R.
Newcomb from the roll of membership.
Col. Newcomb was commander of the
lively interest IN G. A. r. affairs in
Texas, having been several times dele
gate for this department to the national
encampments. The reason for
striking his name from the
rolls is the alleged discovery that he
has never enlisted in the Union army
and never fired q shot for the preserva-
ton of the Union. Col. Newcomb is one
of the most prominent and active Repub-
licans IN Texas. He was secretary of
state under the Davis regime and in con-
,nection with the redoubtable and fam
bent Col. Thomas Porterhouse Ochil-
tree has pretty well controlled Federal
patronage in Texas. Col. Newcomb was
postmaster of this city under President
Arthur, and now holds the position of
supervisor of this census district. His
dismissal from the Grand Army of the
Republic is expected to cause serious
trouble in the Republican party of Texas,
as he is personally one of the most popu-
lar men in the state.

have just returned from a trip across
the state, and find the people everywhere
for Hogg for governor. Coryelle county
will instruct for Hogg. DR.. Perry of
Hamilton county, a candidate for the
legislature, informs me four-ffths of the
people of his county will vote for Hogg
and the commission. The free pass
boomerang has strengthened Hogg in this
county. THE GAZETTE is gaining in
popularity and is eagerly looked Tor every

MKxIA. TEX, June 16, 1890.
Editor Gazette:
In the parlanee of the country cores
pondent, "nOt seeing anything from
this section i'll your valuable paper,
ETC., candidly without dealing in
''taffy'' or fiattering words, it is indeed
gratifying to your friends to notice the
success now being attained by THE
GAZETTE, not only as q purVeyOr of
news, but as a patron and advocate
of the interest of the people
as sensible stickler to the
golden mien of conservatism.
Things are devilish warm down this way
as to politics. The interest in the guber-
ma torial contest absorbs that of all other
questions. Gen. HOgg and Judge Cook
have a joint discussion here on the Goth.
This county, Notwithstanding contrary
"'speciaIs, - is almost solid for Jim
A..
dollars to dOughnuts, without any
takers, that Hogg carries the
primaries by 1000 majority. The
opposition to decry his merit and diverge
the voter from the main to irrelevant
issues falls stale and improbable among
the people of not only Limestone, but of
all Central Texas. Every county in this,
Ninth congressional district is almost alb
solutely ceEtRfn to instruct for Hogg and
the COMMISSION, notwithstanding George
Var "a and his seven-county combine.
people down this way are Democrats
and not communists or ''prairie phiIos-
ophers. - They are not SO densely ig-
norant as to be led by Barry secret
circulars or Clark's scarecrow about
Democracy and paternalism.
CoRYELL IN THE HOGG COLUMN.
Special to the Gazette.
GATEsvILLE, TEX. June 17.-Guber-
Material politics are waxing little warm
as county after county instructs for
Hogg. A few men here, who at first
were for Throckmorton, Mcdonald, Shep-
pard-auybody, are now for Cook. This
Coryell. is six TO one for. Hogg,
aud it is safe to put it down in the Hogg
list.
