SPEAKING AT RUsK.
Special to the Gazette.
RUsK, TEX. June 2j.-Four of the
candidates for congress in this district
met here to-day and addressed the
voters. The Hon. William H. Martin
was the first speaker, and made a two
hours speech, explaining his official
services and pulverized in good order
Speaker Reed, and denounced the tariff
in unmeasured terms
He was followed by Judge Joseph I.
Perkins of this place, who made a good
impression on his hearers in two hours
speech.
Mr.. John B. Long of Rusk came next,
but generously rendered Judge Norman
F. Kittrell of Leon county his time, as il
was growing late and Judge Kittrell
would not have a fair opportunity.
Kittrell made a splendid speech, which
was well received.
1t is now the general impression that
fHowdy' Martin has lost ground by
coming home to canvass his district, and
his defeat is pretty certain, but who will
get his seat is considerably mixed. So
far only two counties in the district have
held conventions. Henderson, which in
structed for Martin, and Anderson,
which did not instruct, and now has
candidate of its own.
