Hughes, of Dallas, last night fired the
first gun of the gubernatorial canvass
He displayed considerable ingenuity in
handling his subject and delighted those
present who favored the ideas advanced
and entertained those who are opposed to
his position. His speech was listened to
with strict attention and was frequently
applauded. AS this is the opening shot
the canvass will now be hot until the final
termination of the conflict. Hogg men
however, are jubilant, and say they
are ahead and gaining ground
Several other speeches are
to be made at an early date, among
them, Judge Cook.

commerce, the produces of the country
and the appetites of the people.
His speech was well listened to and
