1t is reported that George Clark will be

There is no use talking for or against
Hogg for governor in johnson county. The
voters appear to be solid for him. Unless some
convention trick defeats him he will receive the
nomination, and that amounts to an election in

second choice, but SO unanimous is the feeling
in favor Of Hogg, that no second choice is mem

Acknowledgement Hogg opened the
campaign at Rusk on the 18th and spoke for
the shady lard titles, II he is elected governor,
we do not believe that his election would have
the effect Of keeping any investors out of Texas,

man to Office would be an Improvement over the
old time politicians. Bracket News.
Hogg's speech at Rusk was a fine
effort. This is the more emphatically demon
strated by the unanimity with which opposing
papers are saying nothing about it. Those of
our contemporaries who have been accusing
Mr.. Hogg of demagoguery and OF holding revo-
lutionary ideas should give mis- speech careful

Hon. j. W. Throckmorton, while in
favor of railroad regulation is not an extremist,

man of this kind, and not one who would run
every railroad out OF the state to satisfy his
bition for official honor. We are not living in
the days of mossbackism, but OF progress, OF

Wheeler are now all in the field for governor of

OF pronounced ability and craftsmanship. The
contest for supremacy will be decided by the
Democratic state convention to meet in San An

the above named men may be favored by the
convention, it is to be hoped that the Democracy

Since Attorney General Hogg inaugu-
rated the practice Of rgidly applying the laws OF
the land to all classes and associations of per-
sons wbether they be Of high or low degree, rich
or poor, strong or weak, there has been one con-
tinuous stream of immigration into the state,

civilized nations commend order, and all God
fearing nd hbertS-loving people commend the
enforcement OF the law, which stands as the
guarantee of order.--I Cherokee Herald.
Attorney General Hogg seems to be
the favorite OF majority Of the newspapers of
the state for governor. The farmers like him
because he is not afraid to tackle the railroads.
Quite correct Mr.. Hosg has demonstrated
the fact to the people OF Texas that he is nos
afraid to tackle the railroads II they violate the
ability to discharge in full every obligation
which the dutieso his Office impose. This the
