LAMAR COUNTY FOR HoGG.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, June 1.-THE Demo-
cratic county convention met here to-day
and had a stormy session of several
hours. 1t was ENGINEERED by Tom Hayes,
Pictorial representative from Lamar and
Fannin counties in the Twentv-first
legislature, who sought to make
some cheap notoriety by abusing news
papers. Hayes was the floor manager
for Attorney General Hogg, and had the
machine in such fine working order that
it instructed for him like a deer in q
walk. The vote to instruct for Hogg
stood 81 for to 46 against. The
convention also instructed for Pendleton
for lieutena It-governor. Resolutions
were adopted favoring the commission
amendment, opposing the county road
tax amendment, favored chartering state
banks, uniform system of text
books, and favored working short
term convicts on county roads instead OF
in the penitentiary. The convention ia
vored Doak for district attorney, and q
district primary for state senator. Dark
lantern methods were put into
practice, and the victors are iubIlant
over their success. Mr.. Hayes was a
little embarrassed when he read his
name first on the list of delegates,
but he got there with both feet,
and is in high feather. Many
Hogg men declared that they would not
be bound by the action of the party I'M
less he was nominated. This was said
on the street. The anti
are taking their medicine like men, and
will meet the issue at the poles in No
vember.
