BosQUE COUNTY READY.
Special to the Gazette.
MERIDIAN, TEX, August GA full
delegation from this county will start
for San Antonio on Sunday next. The
delegates are instructed for Hogg and
Pendleton and for Barry for state treas
urer and uninstructed as to the other
state officers. The delegates are lively
set, well supplied with brains and
tongue. Hon. A. r. Barry, Bosque
county 3 candidate for state treasurer,
left to-day for the political Mecca. The
judge seems to think his chance for the
nomination moderately good: while he
has not so many counties instructed for
him as Sadler, McCullooh or Workman,
yet as none of them have even a third of
the convention he considers his chance
as good as theirs, particularly
SO when the delegates shall dis
cover that A. r. Barry of Bosque county
is not Bryan T. Barry of Dallas, nor any
kin to the said Bryan T.. nor of the
same political faith, as A. r. Barry is
for the amendment and the commission.
We of Bosque county know that Judge
Barry possesses executive ability that he
has administrative capacity, that he Is a
Grover Cleveland type of man. Yet we
think it likely that 1t may be found out
hof hoo oF I'D
on the question of civil service reform
that are not exactly in harmony with
some of the actions of the said Grover
Cleveland
The news OF the unanimous nomination
of the Hon. 10 Abbott for congress by
the Dallas convention was received here
with applause, notwithstanding 1t was
well known before hand that it would he
so. Mr.. Abbott's course in congress has
the approval of the Democracy OF Bosque
county.
