| HUNTSVILLE NOTES.
| Special to the Gazette.
| HUNTSVILLE, TEX, June l4.-Hon.
| Charles Stewards announcement as q
candidate for reelection to congress
| from this district does not create much
| stir IN political circles here, as he will
| not likely have any opposition at all in
| the convention. No candidate has as
yet come out against him, although q
| few papers in the district, which are
chronically opposed to Stewart, are call
| ing on some one to head him off.
Col. l.. A. Aberorombie, the present
state senator from this district, Will not
be a candidate for reelection to that
Office, his health not permitting him.
This being the case, Hon. Z. NJ. john
ston, the talented editor of the Houston
Post, who is prominently mentioned for
the senatorship OF the Ninth district,
will no doubt receive the support of this
county.

Editor Gazette.
have made q political trip over the
town among the business men, TO sound
them on the gubernatorial and congress
sional candidates. For governor, find
the following: Hogg, 60; Cook, 10;
Hall, 3. For congress, Second district:
HowdY Martin, 10; Kittrell, IS; Perkins,
So. A great many were non-committal
on both questions, and from indications,
l think that class were against Hogg and
Perkins, for "their'' following we're
very pronounced. This is the result so far
as the business men are concerned, and
about twenty five were not to be found.
1t is safe to say that Hogg will get about
half of the vote of the business men, and
probably more, unless new developments
come about. The farmers are for Hogg
and the amendment, of course.
