PRESSING HoGG FOR OFFICE.
Special 10 the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Aug. 22.-Gubernato-
rial nominee Hogg is beginning to expe-
rience some of the woes of the man so
fortunate as to ascend to power. Let
tiers from ofice-seekers in all parts of the
state are pouring in, and il the at
torney-general would answer them
all he would have no time
TO devote TO his duties now pressing upon
him against the fall terms OF the courts;
but Mr.. Hogg takes his medicine like
man. One thing is certain, there will
be many disappoin ted office-seekers when
Mr.. Hogg has made up his slate some
months hence, which he has not done as
yet.
GEORGIA FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ATLANTA, GA. Aug. 22.-The Georgia
state Alliance finished its labors yester-
day and adjourned. The most important
action vas the unanimous passage of the
platform as final that the Alliance
adopted at the st. Louis convention.
This carries with it. of course, the unan-
lmous Endorsement OF the sub-treasury
plan, which is one OF the principal plat
forms; also of the government ownership
of transportation lines. Cotton bagging
was adopted as the Alliance covering for
cotton as against jute. This is carrying
out the fight on jute made last year.
The eligibility clause was made identical
with that of the Alliance, providing that
no one shall be admitted to membership
unless they be farmer, farm lsborers,
mechanics, country school teachers,
physicians and preachers, editors and
editors of strictly agricultural journals.
The convention was largely attended and
for the most part unanimous.
