He controverted the position assumed by
Judge Clark that the water was squeezed
out by passing through the hands OF re-
ceivers, by showing that, as in the case
of the International and Great Northern !,
Houston and Texas Central, the new
owners infused more water than there
was at first. He contends that the main
trouble lies in their fraudulent capitalI-
cation, and says if Texas had have taken
steps, as in Massachusetts, TO render the
constitutional inhibition operative, and
fictitious stock and bonds impossible ,,
railroad projectors in Texas would not
have to wear out the pavements of Wall
as is the case to-day.
He alluded in very complimentary
terms to Gen. Hogg and paid his respects
to the pass petard that was charged with
dynamite.
AS to the capitol scandal, he said he
alN avs hated campaign lies, but cam
paign lie of Republican parentage, and
consisting of inuendo aud insinuation
alone, was ineffablv wicked.
Mr.. Carswell, candidate for the senate,
and various other candidates were on
hand and addressed the people, and
every person seemed happy.

ton of the Hogg and Commission club
at Housley, J. G.. Rugel of this place
addressed them last night in favor of

of this place was present and was granted
equal time with Mr.. Rugel In which to
present the anti-Hogg and commission
side, which he did in very humorous
and entertaining manner Rugel's re-

by Mr.. Knox. AT The close of the
speaking the club was reinforced by the
additions of a large number of Demo-
Gratis. 1t is claimed by those who pro-
fess to know that there is not now an
anti-Hogg Democrat in the bounds of
this voting precinct. 1t was exactly u
o. CLOCK when the people adjourned.

HoGG AT WACO.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX. June 22.-The reception
given Attorney General Hogg last night
was surprise to his opponents, but was
exceedingly gratifying to his friends.
He was met at the Central depot by w.
w. Evans, Maj. Charles B. Pearce, DR..
Barker, DR.. W. H. Wilkes, Walter
S. Baker and a score of other gsntle-
men, whose names are not now recalled,
and escorted to the McClelland hotel.
The procession was headed by
the Waco brass band and upon his ar
rival at the hotel a great number of citl-
zens gathered in the rotunda to welcome
him, some of them old friends, others
anxious to form his acquaintance. The
speaking cyan at the courthouse at 8 p.
m. , and as wired you last night, there
was such vast throng of people olsmor-
ing for admittance after the house was
crowded full that in answer to the earn
eat pleadings of those outside the meet
ing was adjourned to the public square
where from the front steps of the city
hall Mr.. Hogg spoke for two hours, hold
ing an immense crowd in perfect order
until nearly y O'Clock. The audience
were of course forced to stand, and the
patience with which they stood the dis
comfort was truly remarkable. Mr..
Hogg's speech was well received, but did
not differ materially from his speeches
made at other places which have been
from time to time. He reiter-
ated his views with reference to the kind
of commission he favored, quoting that
part of his Rusk speech and declaring his
intention to strictly adhere to those
views. This was the thirty eighth time
he had stated his position on that point
in public speeches, said he, and in every
instance they were the same. At the
CONCLUSION of Mr.. Hogg' Is speech deafen-
ing cheers rang out, and as the echoes
died away loud calls for George Pendle-
ton proceeded from the multitude, who
II seems had not yet become fatigued.
Mr.. Pendleton did not respond, although
he was IN the city, being present at the
when the speaking began.
Hon. Richard Harrison was next called
for and under protest stepped to the
front and delivered q neat little speech
which was vociferously cheered.
Your correspondent talked with few
Of Mr.. Hogg,s bitterest opponents, who
we're present at the speaking and they
agreed that no power on earth could de-
feat him in this county. Mr.. Hogg will
cave tomorrow TO fill his appointment
