PUBLICAN OPPONENT FOR GRAIN.
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX. Aug. 5.-Matters
political have been brewing IN Republic
can circles for some time. In conversa-
ton with Collector Quincy to-day the
purpose was divulged. 1t concerns the
nomination of Republican for congress
from this district in opposition to Mr..
Grain. The western part of the district
has conceded the right to nominate to
Galveston, and, according to the man
manipulators, Col. VIM. Il. Sinclair and
r. B. HawIey, are the only 7Pepubli-
cans here possessing the requisite merit
and ability for the ONCE. The latter is
deemed the most available, and strong
pressure is brought to bear to get him to
make the race. In the event OF Mr..
Hawley accepting the nomination COL
leotor R. b. Renfro will not become .
candidate. Should Mr.. Hawley decline,
then James Wilson OF Laredo is deemed
the most available man to put against

A Race Course in Danger.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Aug. 5.-Corporatfon Council
man Henderson in an interview to-day admit ted
that Mayor Cregier and himself have under con.
sideration the Amusement OF FORGETTING the Ii
cense under which Ed Carrigan runs the West
Side race track This would mean a complete
stop to the equine contests, such as they are
that result incidentally in war between two RI
val facd ms of gamblers. Corrigan has been
harrassing the mayor to such an extent that the
latter has lost patience and is now apparently
ready to go almost any length ''to get even, )"
Carigan has charged in a bill made
public by its presentation in court that the
mayor has been standing inn with certain
gamblers and he has subsequently SO managed
things that Mr.. Cregier has been left o oppor-
tunlty of disproving these charges in court.
1--WE have not come to q definite decision in
regard to the NATTER said the corporation
councilman. 81 think. however, under the
circumstances it would be just what Corrigan is
deserving of. and the mayor would be entirely
warranted in doing it.
''Do you consider it practicable TO forfeit the
license?''
81 have no doubt of It whatever. Corrigan
runs his track under what Is called the amuse-
ment license. He has violated that law by al
lowing illegal poolselling to be carried on upon
his track. Indeed, he has not only allowed it,
but he has fostered it and persisted in it. The
license should be forfeited"

OKLAHOMA'S GOVERNOR.
How His Name Is Linked With the Pretty
Wife OF a Guthrie Drug
Clerk.
Special to The Gazette.

special TO The Gazette.
OKLAHOMA, o. T., Aug. 5.-Guthrle
and this city are all agog with the great =
est scandal of this country. Governor
Steele and Mrs. Wells came here
Sunday afternoon from Guthrie. The
governor was the guest of Capt.
Burbank, the commander of the troops
here, and Mrs. Wells started to be enter
tanned by the wife of one of the city 8
leading citizens who, when he heard of
the scandal concerning them at
Guthrie, politely escorted her TO
the hotel office and notified the landlord
that she was no guest of his. She tele-
graphed her husband ut Guthrie to come
to her relief, but he refused
and answered that she must
an aspirant for the marshalship of this
governor came to this city on
the midnight train Sunday night
to warn the governor Of the
impending wrath. Mrs. Wells
returned to Guthrie Monday morning.
The governor explains the matter by say
ing that it was strange succession
of condolences. Some of his
warmest friends beleVe him
very imprudent, if not guilty. Mrs.
Wells is n dashing lady OF perhaps
twenty-five years, and Is the wife of
a drug clerk in Guthrie. The governor
sent the husband to this city few
nights ago with letter TO Receiver
Delaney of the landoflice here asking the
receiver to give him some kind of posi-
ton. While the husband was away
Mrs. Wells and the governor en-
loved themselves at the formers
dwelling in Guthrie. Public sentiment
is against the governor, and he will
probably be asked to resign. He is visi-
bly, worried over the matter, but refuses
TO say anything other than as above.

TEMPERANCE AND REFORM THE
WINNING TICKET IN SHEPHERDS
TOWN

The annual election for Mayor, Re-
corder and five Councilmen for the
of Shepherdstown was
held last Monday. 1t resulted in a
victory for the temperance ticket by
maiorities found below. 1t has been
a long time since there has been as
much interest manifested or as much
earnest work done in town election.
The temperance people started an
open campaign a month or more ago,
and held public and private meetings
for the furtherance of the cause.
The liquor interests fought just as
hard, though not so openly No
voter was neglected on either side,
nor was there anything left undone
by one or the other for success. Mon
day morning at daylight workers for
both sides were at the polls in force,
and they remained till the going down
of the sun. 1t was apparent early IN
the day that the license ticket would
not have the walk-over it had last
wear. when it won by GO majority.
The temperance people were sangulne
of success from the start, and when
the polls closed they figured on ina
iority of from 10 to 20. The count
showed that they figured correctly.
The vote polled was an unusually
heavy one, running up to 259, "a
against 225 last year Mr.. W. y.
Lemen received "a majority of 30 for
Mavor over Mr.. q. W. Humrickhouse,
the vote standing 142 TO 1l3. There
was no opposition to MIR. j. \. Trus-
sell for Recorder. The vote for Coun-
cilmen was as follows, the five first
named being on the temperance tick
ct and the five latter on the license
ticket:
