SPEAKS BY THE CARD.
LoNGvIEw, Tex, June Il, 1890.
Editor Gazette.
We have just returned from Austin
While there we saw in the Statesman
dispatch purporting to be from Dallas to
the effect thatJ s. Hogg was riding on
passes and drawing mileage. He had
six passes rendered him. He has never
asked for pass. He has used four of
them. We went to the comptrOller's Of
fee and saw all the vouchers he has ever
filed since he entered upon the duties of
his office. We found on all the railroads
on which he held a pass no mileage was
charged. We speak of him IN the dis
charge of his duties as an officer. The
state has been benefited by his having
passes. He allows the state to have the
benefit of his passes and not himself. So
YOU see that It is q revenue to the state.
We speak of what we do know. His
political enemies will have to get up
better dodge than that. When they
thrust him we see brighter spot IN his
character. We summed up the expenses
of Mr.. Hogg since his introduction into
office three years and half ago They
amount to S30S. If it had not been for
his passes the expenses would have. been
double this amount. Now we see what a
political foe we have to contend with.
Hogg is the peoples candidate. Men,
to the front: stand by your guns and
never think the battle won till the last
gun is fired on the 18th day of August
next. B. W. BROWN.
HoGG AND COOK SPEAK AT BEEvILLE.
Special to the Gazette.
BEEvILLE, Ten. ,. June ls,-Gen. Hogg
and Judge Gustave Cook SPOKE in joint
discussion at the courthouse here to-day
to full house,. Just how the county
will go is hard to guess at this time, but
HoEg and commission will have q strong
following. II not so instructed, the A.
lance, and it is strong in this county,
will support him almost to man.
WILLIAMSON COUNTY FOR HoOG.
Special to the Gazette.
BARTLETT, TEX, June 13.-Land
Commissioner Hail is announced to speak
here Oh July 4.
Hogg and the commission are growing
every day. Williamson county may
safely be put down in the Hogg column.
WHAT WILL DoNLEY DO?
Special to the Gazette.
CLARENDON, TEX, June 13.-The
county convention of Democrats will con-
vene here Saturday evening, and as the
time approaches more interest is mani
fest. 1t is quite apparent that no par
ticu ar candidate for governor has a de-
cided advantage here; but the best guess
would be that Donley will instruct for
Wheeler, or send an uninstructed dele
cation to San Antonio.
wEATHERFoRD To HAVE JOINT Dis
CUSTOM.
Special to the Gazette.
WATERFORD, TEX, June 13.-The
JOINT committee appointed by the sup
porters of the commission and Hogg and
those opposed to both the commission and
Hogg, have decided to give q grand bar
becue on the 4th of July and have a joint
discussion, and Will have able speakers
on that occasion.
Mr.. I. W. Stephens will address the
people of this community favoring the
adoption of the amendment and the elect
ion of Hogg as governor. Mr.. Stephens
is one of our ablest men and most fluent
spe akers and logical reasoners and will
doubtless have crowded house.
