it was with some difficulty that he could
make his way to the Speakers stand. Nc
| such gathering of people has ever met in
! BOnham since the dedication of our court
house. The general was introduced by
| Mr.. Pres. Thurmond in an eloquent and
effective talk of some FIVE minutes; and
when our noble standard bearer took the
stand he was greeted by cheer after
cheer that made the very ceiling ring
He held the audience spellbound for two
hours, except ever and anon the vast
crowd burst forth in wild enthusiasm
over his able advocacy of railroad regu-
lation. The friends of Attorney GEN
eral Hogg claim this to be the ablest
| speech ever delivered in Bonham.
After the conclusion of Attorney
General Hogg s speech the Hon W. L.
McGaughey, candidate for commissioner
! of the general land Office, made a short
but effective talk that seemed to capture
the whole audience. B.
