COOK CRATES AT BELTON.
| Special to the Gazette.
BELToN, TEX. June 16.-Judge Gus
tave Cook spoke here this afternoon to
a good-sized audience which gave him
wrapt attention throughout. Many have
expressed themselves that if this speech
had have been made several weeks ago
that the sentiment of the precinct
primaries last Saturday would have been
very different from what it was, and
many Hogg men say now that they will
vote against the commission amend
ment.

CLARENDON, TEX, June 1.-THE
Donley county Democracy met in regu-
lar convention to-day. Notably among
hoI fol
l. special resolution indorsing Hon.
J. N. Browning of Clarendon as candi-
date for the legislature from this, the
Forty Third district, and instructing the
delegates to the representative conven-
ton to vote and work for him, FIRST,
last and all the time

T. Lanham for congress from this, the
Eleventh congressional district.
3. The appointing of a large delega-
ton to the state convention, headed by
Hon. J. N. Browning, and leaving

A few days ago there was some crust
ling in the interest of different candi-
dates for governor, all four of the candi-
dates having some friends, but in the
convention to-day the vote was almost
unanimous to leave the delegates unin-
structed.
SPLIT AT SALADO.
Special to the Gazette.
SALADO, TEX. June l6.-The primary
at this place last Saturday was attended
with much confusion and hard feelings.
The convention was much divided on a
resolution to stand by the action of the
convention. Some said they would
stand by it if their man was nominated
and if not they would run an independ-
ent candidate. That caused a split, and
there were two conventions held. There
seemed to be a Bush party and Rob-
ertson party. The Robertson party was
in favor of standing by the action of the
convention, and they withdrew and held
a convention of their own, and the other
side held one. 1t now remains to be set
tied who is right. It reminded one of
the days of secession, and was the most
exciting gathering ever seen in this little
town. The excitement has not yet
abated, and the citizens seem TO be going
wild over it.

QUAY g SURPRISE PARTY.
Special to the Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June l6.-It is |
in close political circles to-day |
that Senator Quay has surprise IN store |
for the candidates to the Republican |
state convention which meet9 in Harris
burg on the 25th to nominate candidate !
for governor. The story goes that Wan |
amaker is to play the role of dark and |
successful horse in the convention. |
There seems to be no particular begin
nIng or end to this story, and no way of |
verifying it, other than by application to
the gentlemen named. There is no
doubt, however, that if Wanamaker
wants the nomination he can have it.
MAI. JARVIS FILLS THE BILL.
DECATUR, TEX, June l6, 1890.
Editor Gazette:
As the question OF state senator from
this district seems to be at present agi-
tating the public mind, l am glad to see
the name of Maj. Jarvis suggested by
the GAZETTE for the positions man in
my humble opinion fully able to meet all
the requirements of the office. Should |
Maj. JARVIS decide to enter upon the
race he can be assured of many warm
in this (Wise) county. What
the people of Texas want in office are
men of true worth and sterling integrity
The danger to our state government is
and we want men of brains to
and courage to carry out plans
best suited to the interest of this grand
'tate of Texas. Such as we want can
be found in the person of the Hon. Maj.
Jarvis, man who stands above re-
1roach. Texas wants no sehemer or
riokster to fill her public offices, but
men that will sacrifice self-intersst for
he public good. Some urge the GAZETTE
o use its Dest efforts to induce
he worthy patriot to once more unfurl
lis colors to the breeze-and watch the
multitude of voters as they rally to its
upport. Wise county has an aspirant
or the position named in the person of
dr. R. E. Carsweli, who claims the in
lorsement of the county. While this is
n part true, It's not the voice OF the
whole people, as the Endorsement was
having no right to be |
ugged into the precinct and |
county election called for the |
governors race only, the call for
