DALLAS, TEX. June 13.-One OF the
evidences of the fact that however
much the Cook and Hall campaign man
ayers may play 'possum. they are by no
means asleep, is to be found IN the effort
that is being quietly but industriously
put forth to create the impression that
Attorney-GeneFal Hogg is losing ground,
and is by no means as popular as he was
some weeks ago, say before the winning
out of Judge Cook, and the establish
ment of the "Siamese Twins political
headquarters in this city.
When asked what indications there
are of Hogg's decrease in popularity,
about all the answer You get Is that So
and-So told me that Hogg was losing
strength every dav. You go to $50
aud-So" and he refers you right back
to the man who sent you to him. IN TINS
way they pass it around among them
selves. winking slyly at each other as
they do so, knowing it Is good card TO
play, especially when played upon
those who are shaky or undecided
and who do not like to Dc
caught backing losing man. One mas,
however, only to scan the dispatches 10
the daily papers from day to day to see
that no such thing as decrease IN
Hogg's popularity exists. The enort 10
''oreate'' the impression that he is los
ing ground Is simply another specimen OF
the tsfue work. of Warwick and
his campaign managers. Realizing that
stsomethius must be done
to stem the increasing tide OF
Hogg's popularity they hit first
on the free pass racket, ano
next on this other racket of impression
creating. The free pass racket has al
ready proven boomerang, and this I'M
preston racket seems really afflicted with
inanition. 1t is still q case of 'some-
thing must be done, - and the indications
are that it will remain so until the meet
ing of the San Antonio convention, when
the futility of all that has been done VIII
be made apparent to both COOK ana
Hall, and to the managers of the Islam
ese twins" headquarters in this city.

SPEAKS BY THE CARD.
Losev1Ew, Tex, June Il, 1880.
Editor Gazette.
We have just returned from Austin
While there we saw in the Statesman a
dispatch purporting to be from Dallas to
the effect that ]. s. Hogg was riding on
passes and drawing mileage, He had
six passes rendered him. He has never
asked for pass. He has used four OF
them. We went to the comptroller's Of
fee and saw all the vouchers he has ever
filed since he entered upon the duties OF
his office. We found on ell the railroads
on which he held pass no mileage was
charged. We speak of him IN the dis
charge of his duties as an officer. The
state has been benefited by his having
passes. He allows the state to have the
benefit of his passes end not himself. So
you see that il is q revenue to the state.
We speak of what We do know. His
political enemies will have to get up q
I better dodge then that. When they
thrust him we see brighter SPOT IN his
character. We summed up the expenses
of Mr.. Hogg since his introduction into
office three years and half ago. They
amount to S30S. If il had not been for
his passes the expenses would have been
double this amount. Now We see what q
political foe we have to contend with.
Hogg is the peoples candidate. Men
TO the front: stand by your guns and
never think the battle Won till the last
gun is fred on the 18th day of Angus:
next. B. W. BROWN.
