Brother Charles Howard welcomed the
assembled people in behalf of Moody
lodge and then introduced Brother d. d.
Rosborough, of Leon lodge No. 1893, as
the master of ceremonies. Brother Ros-

Judge G. B. Gerald of Waco was then
introduced and delivered an able address

of the hospitality of the good people of

mense tables loaded with barbecued
meats of various kind, with bread and
the other ''good things from the
kitchen were then disposed of by an
appreciative people, and all credit was
gwen to the people of Moody their gener-
GUS repast.
The arrival of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe train at 1886 p. m. brought
the Hon. James Hogg and
a large concourse of people
from McGregor and Crawford.
Commencing at ? 'Clock Mr.. Hogg be-
gan his address, following the same line
of logical reasoning that has character
lied his speeches ut other places, and
which had the effect of bringing many of
the heretofore undecided ones to his
standard; in fact it would be hard work
to find any anti-comm ission men in
Moody or many who will fail to support
Mr.. Hogg as the candidate for governor
at the coming primaries.
AS day of pleasure, all pronounce it
a great success and one long to be re-
membered, and it Is safe to say that
Moody has given to Mr.. Hogg the largest
audience he has yet had in Central Texas.
careful canvass reveals the fact that
this, McLennan county, will instruct for
Mr. Hogg, many placing his majority as
high as $500, while prominent suppor-
ter of Mr.. Cook was heard to concede
the county to Mr.. Hogg by $500.
QUALIFICATION OF A DEMOCRATIC VOTER.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, June 24.-Mr. Bryan
T. Barry and Mr.. Brock Robertson are
engaged in discussing through the col
umns of the News here what shall con-
stitute the proper test of the qualifica-
ton of Democratic voter at primary
or county convention. Mr.. Barry in a
recent circular outlined a resolution to
be offered in such conventions, and adj
vised, in the event it was not adopted,
that the Cook men, no matter how few
in number, withdraw and elect dele
gates to the state convention, thus send
ing contesting delegations to that body.
MIR. Robertson regards this as instigat-
ing bolt, and has so characterized it
IN this mornings News. 1t is under
stood Mr.. Barry has prepared reply,
and the prospect is that warm and
spicy discussion OF this question will fol-
low until one party or the other is salts
fed and quits. Mr.. Barry is anxious to
keep Alliance men, Knights of Labor
and Greenbackers outside the Democratic
fold and confine primary conventions to
simon-pure, anti commission Cook DEM
ocrats.
