for long time. The streets, as to
the number of people, very much re-
sembled a circus day. The old, the
young, the rich, the poor-and even the
lame; who had to be carried TO the
courthouse and lay on a cot-were there,
IN fact this was q field day for Hogg.
The people simply turned out en- masse
like nothing else could bring them
out. MIR. Hogg spoke nearly three
hours on the line of his Rusk speech.
He stated that he stands by that speech,
and il shall be his platform If he is
elected governor of Texas. His speech
was considered very able, and there is
no doubt but that it strengthened him,
and possibly his commission
ideas, with his hearers, as was
clearly demonstrated after his address
when hundreds of men OF all classes
crowded around him, eager to shake his
hand and give him their personal en-
dorsement. MIR. Hogg will remain in
this city until morning, when he will 20
