yet. l also found two nice gentlemen
that refused to be interviewed. l sup
pose that they are fearful that IL would
injure their business TO oppose Gen. Hogg
and the commission here.
To-day is Saturday, and the old men
and the young men are in town from up
the creek, from down the creek, and
from all parts of the precinct, and report
crops fine and in good condition IN every
way. l have been all day interviewing
them, and they say that in their neck of
the woods there is not a man opposing
Hogg and the commission. They say the
last they heard of Hogg he was at Bell
vile, and that there he had Cook down
and had his tusk in him up to the jole.
1t is all one sided here; so much SO that
we have no fun by way of argument; so
much so, that if it was not for the wall
ings of the occasional disconsolate drum
mer, and the means of our unhappy de-
pot agent here, there would not be rip
pie on the wave to disturb the political
atmosphere F. w. MASSEY.

TWENTIETH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
Special 10 the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRD, TEXAS, June 23.-It
was thought some time ago by the friends
of Hon. Albert Stevenson, member of
the lower house of the Texas legislature
from this county, that he could be in
duced to make the race for the senate
from this district. Mr.. Stevenson has
declined to make the race and so an
nounced 1t in speech before the Hogg
club of this city OH Friday night, last,
giving as his reasons that after mature
deliberaton and consideration of his
private and law practice, he declines to
make the race for senator from this
district. This decision is greatly re-
GREETED by his many friends here as his
record in the last legislature was u
brilliant one and they had hoped to see
UltE olecteu seudtOT.
The Hon. j. w. Stephens of this
county, one of the most prominent at
torneys and one of the ablest men in
Northwest Texas, has announced as
candidate for state senator from this,
the Twentieth senatorial district, sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
senatorial convention. As an officer
there can be none more faithful or zeal
ruif cd int itu
and recognized ability, he justly has the
confidence of those who know him and if
he is elected he will have no superior in
that body, and will make a record of
which his district will be proud. No
better man can be found IN the district
for the place than Mr.. Stephens.
FOR HoGG AND HARE.
Special to the Gazette.
BELLS, TEX, June 23.-PolItics is
very hot here, and a great many good
men who nave been estranged from the
Democratic party for years are this year
coming back, and mean to stand by it.
They have found that if they expect their
influence to be felt it can only be through
the party. Hogg will carry both North
and South Bells precincts almost solid,
as will also Hare for congressman.
