WICHITA FALLS, TEX. Oct. 9.-Hon
Webster Flanagan, Republican oandi-
date for governor, addressed the people
OF Wichita county at the courthouse yes

committee consisting OF some of the
principal Republicans of this city and
other parts of the county, and was
driven 10 the courthouse in a carriage
led by the Wichita corner band, and fol-
lowed by fair-sized crowd of both Re-
publicans and Democrats. The speaker
was escorted to the stand by Mayor Ba-
con and H. T. Garfield and was intro
duceC ID the audience by the latter gen.
tlemen.
In his arraignment of the principles of
Democracy he charged the Democratic
party as being opposed to public educs-
tion and all internal improvements. He
SAID the railroads were run to suit him +,
and was therefore opposed TO any Hogg
who was disposed TO root them out. He
favored the sub-treasury scheme, but
failed to explain why the government
should overtax the people and loan the
money back TO them.
Mr.. Flanagan is fluent and forclble
speaker, with fine voice and gestures,
and his speech was listened to with
marked attention. He remained in the
city last night and left on the early train
for Fort Worth this morning.
