DUBLIN PRIMARY.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
DUBLIN, TEX, Aug. 4.-Hot! yes,
scorohing hot! has been the condition of
the weather here for some time, but
even the temperature of the hot wealth
er was nothing to the state OF feeling at
the primary convention held here last
Saturday and to-day, having adjourned
pleted. The chairman ruled on Satur-
day that only those who had heretofore
voted the Democratic ticket and would
pledge themselves to support the nomi-
| nees of the Democratic party would be
recognized in the organization of the
convention. The committee on resolu-
tiOns reported the same ruling TO govern
the convention after 1t was permanently
organized. The report was adopted aft
er much confusion. Those who wanted
everyone who would agree to
support the nominee to be admitted
to the convention were boisterous, and
for n time it seemed there was danger of
split between the two sides, but tue
trouble finally subsidized and those who
had called themselves the simon pure
Democrats who were in favor of only
those who had shown their faith by their
works being given a voice in the conven-
ton came out victorious. The following
delegates were elected to the county con-
vention, which meets at Stephenvllle on
the 9th for the purpose of nominating @
full Democratic ticket, tO-wit: W. J.
Clay, lobe Williams, c. C. Dodson, X.

NO INTEREST IN POLITICS.
Special to the Gazette.
Cisco, TEX, Aug. 5.-No place in
Texas is 1reer from political excitement
than Cisco. With most people here
disgust instead OF interest prevails.
Even the meek Misunderstanding county
candidate fails to attract notice or SYM
patty. There is a sort of tired feeling
among the voting class that may or may
not be overcome by the Ides of NoYem-
Der.
