w. Bailey closed this morning the re-
markable canvass of Collin county. An
immense throng crowded the courtroom
and enthuseu the speaker. In replying to
the charge that he was an importation
from Mississippi, the speaker referred
to the constitutional convention now in
session in that state in touchingly
beautiful invocation. 1t is impossible to
do justice to the speaker or describe the
effect on his vast audience. 1t was in
describable.
Judge Hare spoke this afternoon, but
he was powerless to arouse his sup
porters.
So far as heard from Bailey has carried
every box in the county. This includes
Mckinney, Wylie, Plano Anna, Melissa,
Allen, Copeville and Nevada. He has
undoubtedly carried Collin county by
large majority.
