HON. BROCK ROBERTSON ON THE STATE
CONVENTION.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS. TEX. Aug. 16.-Hon. Brock
Robertson in public interview expresses
himself as follows concerning the state
ticket and platform:
Question-How was the commission
plank regarded by the convention with
reference to its being a test of party
fealty?
Answer-Both parties regarded 1t as
much a party test as the nomination for
governor. This was evidenced by the
Yandell substitute, which proposed not
TO make it a party test, and was tabled
by an overwhelming majority.
Q.-Do you mean that Democrat re-
fusing to vote for the plank will be held
responsible hereafter.
Answer-Exactly in the same way
that he would if he were to scratch the
ticket. Those men who care nothing
for Office and regard their party attach
ments as of but little importance from a
personal standpoint can afford to stain
their record with failure to obey the
mandates OF their party, but 1 appre-
bend that the ambitious leaders who will
IN time be seeking honors at the hands
of their party will likely keep themselves
right at the polls on this question. If
they do not they will hear from it, just
as if they were to refuse to vote for
Hogs and the balance of his ticket.
Q.-Whst about the character and
temper of this convention as compared
to other state conventional
L
state Democratic convention which has
met since the war with one exception, ,
and 1 have never seen assembled finer
body of representative Democrats. 1t ls
true that some of The quaudam leaders
were absent, but their places were sup
piled by young men from all par Is of the
state of splendid abilities, amply able to
take their places If they continue to sulk
IN ha nj nfh
cations.
There was, too, a spirit of conserVa-
tism and moderation in the convention
which was hardly justified by the out
rageous conduct of a little handful of
opponents whose leader, Gustave Cook,
has written himself wholly unfit in tenn
per and spirit to assume the role of q
martyred patriot.
Q.-What do you think of the general
result and the future of the party?
A.-The result seems to be received
with almost universal approval. The
platform is above criticism. The candi-
dates are efficient and popular men, and
the ticket will poll the largest majority
of any Democratic nomination since the
war.
