To-DAY's PROGRAMME.
The convention will assemble at IL
CLOCK tomorrow and will buckle down
to work at once. Hogg, Pendleton,
Mccall and Culberson will be nominated
with a whoop and the contest for the
other offices does not promise to be- very
exciting, except for treasurer and land
commissioner.
There is a general sentiment expressed
that Gen. Hogg should name the ticket
throughout. His friends say the admin
istration will be known as q Hogg ad-
ministration, and that he will be held
responsible for all acts done. This being
the case, they say it is his right and duty
to name the ticket. So far, however,
Gen. Hogg has used no influence for
any one on the ticket to be submitted to
the people when he will be elected gov
ernor.
THE CONVENTION HALL
is ready for the multitudes that will be
in it Tomorrow, and Will comfortably
accommodate 5000 people.
The night trains were crowded with
delegates. and they are now nearly all
here.
Mark Ellison of Dallas county ia on
hand with his wonderful yell and gave to
the caucus tonight a taste of it, to the
infinite delight of the Democrats
present.
The friends of Professor Alex. Hogg
had conference tonight and feel fairly
hopeful that he will be nominated.
Wheeler, the lone fisherman, has not
yet put in an appearance.
The belief is gaining ground that Cook
will run against dogg.
