SENTIMENT AT FORT DAVIS.
Correspondence OF the Gazette.
FORT DAVIS, TEX, June 25.-Not
much interest is being manifested in the
canvass for governor aud other state
officers. 1t is therefore rather difficult
to tell how this county will instruct, or
whether 1t will instruct at all. The
county Democratic convention will meet
at this place on the 2Sth inst. to elect
delegate to the state convention, and
again July 4 to elect delegates to the
senatorial and representative conyeu-
tions. The leading candidate for rep
resentative from this district is w. W.
Turney, promising young lawyer of
Alpine, Brewster county.
Preparation is being made to have
grand Fourth of July celebration here.
From all indications there ill be the
largest crowd in Fort Davis on that day
ever seen before, and it will be splen-
did opportunity for candidates for state
honoIs to speak to the people of this
county.

ing of the Democratic executive commit

THE EDITORS AFTER MR.. BARRY.
Special TO the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. June 28.-Mr. Bryan
T. Barry's recent circular concerning
the qualifications essential to entitle one
TO vote at Democratic primaries seems
to have gotten him into hot water,
particularly with the editors of the
principal papers. They are representing
Mr.. Barry as saving that Alliance men,
Knights of Labor and labor union men
ought not to be permitted to participate
in OF vote in the primaries or conven-
tions of the Democratic party. Mr..
Barry insists that he said that those
who refused to support the nominations
of two ears ago, or who were unwilling
to pledge themselves to abide the result
of the state convention or the primaries
or conventions in which they particle
pated, were the ones who ought not to
vote IN the primaries this year. He
claims he named no organization but
that he referred only TO secret oath-
bound political organizations, the mem
bers of which were controlled by such or
CARNATIONS in their political actions
and could only act in accord ance with
the will and edicts of these orgauiza-
tons, and not in accordance with the
principles, usages and requirements of
the Democratic party, whose candidates
they were seeking to secure aud whose
policy they were trying to dictate. Such
men, he claims, arc not Democrats,
since they are not willing, even when ad-
mitted to a participancy IN the primaries
and conventions OF the party, to stand
upon the platform adopted or support the
candidates named unless such platform
and candidates meet the approval of the
organizations to which they belong.
