The speaker was an old Democrat,

j. w. Throckmorton. The scribe replied
that he was in dense ignorance as to
what action the convention VIII take.
"Wen, - said the oracle, Lawrence
Sullivan Ross will be the man, and he
don Il want it. You see Hogg will go to
the convention with nearly two-thirds of
the delegates for him, but not enough to
nominate. The anti-Hogg delegates will
90 there to take the scalp of the attorney
general and not one of them will ever
vote for him. The convention will be
lied up for three or four days and then
some old Confederate soldier will pop up
and spring Ross's name in the interests
of harmony, and the work will be done.
Ross will be the man.
Oraeles are not infallible, however,
and if Hogg keeps up his present lick
capturing delegates he will be the only

"Queer how men change, - muttered
the granger. FYears ago Gustave Cook
had a plan of his own for regulating
railroads. He was in favor of forcing
them to build double tracks, and to pre-
vent accidents ll.trains were to take the
right track. That wasn't all. He be-
lieved those who could afford should
have the privilege of building cars of
their own and whenever they desired to
travel all that was necessary to do was
to hitch on an engine and steam away.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HoGG AT VERNON.
specisl 10 the Gazette.
VERNON, TEX, June 3.-Attorney-
General Hogg came in on the south
bound train. He was received by COM
mittee of our citizens and given the free
dom of our city, as any other distin-
guished gentleman will receive. The ma
jOrity of the primaries last Saturday, of
the counties that have been heard from,
were for Hogg for governor and G. b.
Randell for congressman. Attorney
General Hogg was billed to speak at s
O'Clock last night. The Vernon brass
band discoursed several beautiful pieces
of music while the people were gather
ing. The large auditorium of the district
court room was crammed TO suf1ication
with the best of our citizens. The order
was OF the best-we allow no other. He
was listened to with the greatest of
attention and applauded frequently.
The opposition gave him marked
attention. He began his speech with
what he saw and now knew which he
had not heretofore known of our vast
resources Unreasonable possibilities, and
SAID, "he had never seen a wheat field
until he visited this part of the great
state OF Texas He thanked the peo-
pie of Vernon that he had been compli-
mented with vote in precinct No. of
nineteen TO thirteen in Saturdays pri-
mary. The writer will say here that it
is a shame that there should be only
thirty-two voters present out OF 800.
He discussed the land laws, the railroad
laws, and his railroad commission ideas
to the satisfaction of the majority pres
INT. He denounced the internal COM
merce law, but the writer would ask what
is the difference between the Interstate
commerce law and the common law, but
that one is national and the other state.
He expressed himself on various other
subjects. He did not speak of sherlffs

excusable because of the immense crowd
and the heat of the room. Speaking
generally, your correspondent believes
that Attorney General Hogg has learned
more of Northwest Texas on this tour
than he knew before, that whether
elected governor OF not, his interests
will be more allied to our interests than
ever before He has seen our vastness,
our possibilities and our hope of the flu
ture, and that he will leave Vernon ac-
cording to her people magnanimous
and wholesome spirit. Let the other
candidates for governor, or other offices,
come to US and they shall and will be
treated with the same respect.
