HoeG CLUB AT RICHARDSON.


and commission club was organized here
Saturday night with forty members, A.
R. White, president and c. E. Malone,
secretary. The club will meet every
Friday night, and there is no doubt but
what the membership will 60 up into
the hundreds. This is a Hogg commun-
ity and is strictly against any and every
thing Of this kind that the Dallas-G Gal
weston News advocates. The farmers
and great many others enquire what
the ballast Galveston News advocates
and take opposite. In due course of
time prominent speakers will be invited
10 address the club. I see the Dallas
News has made an error in publishing
the organization OF the club or their cor
respondent has made an error. They
have the membership as four instead of
forty. The correct number is forty ac
cording to the minutes of the meeting
now before me, furnished by the sec
Rotary.

a. DON'T LIKE HIS BLCKERs.
IF eiai to the Gazette.
rules-ARKANA. TEX. June 3.-The can
aFoGy of Judge Cook has created no en-
z Isiasm here among the anti-commis-
ION men. Many like Cook but object to
his hackers.
HoGG HOLDS HIS OWN.
Special to the Gazette.
CROCKETT, TEX, June 3.-Political
interest here is still conferred on the race
for governor. The withdrawal of Gov
ernor Throckmorton followed soon by
that of Mcdonald, created surprise. but
It seems that graphing hooks are
swinging madly around in the confu-
sion dragging in new candidates from
the arid regions of the Panhandle eoun-
try to the dark and turbid waters of the
bayou city The entry of the late ex-
ponents into the arena creates no en-
thusiasm here, and Gen. Hogg seems TO
hold the reins with q steady hand, and it
Is thought no combination can be formed
strong enough to unhorse him.
ATTORNEY HoGG AT WICHITA
FALLS.
Special to the Gazette.
WICHITA FALLS, Tex, June a.
Attorney General Hogg is here to-day
and speaks at the courthouse. The
general was made welcome by the people
of Wichita county. The people headed
by the Wichita silver cornet band turned
out 10 meet and escort him to the court
house. Those who think Jim Hogg is
not popular in this section should have
been here to-day. 1t If safe to say that
they would have come to the conclusion
that it is not safe TO 'count chickens
before they are Matched. -
Special to the Gazette.
WATERPROOF, TEX. B., June 3.-Hon.
Albert Stevenson of this city, present
representative in the legislature from
this county has announced as candidate
for state senator from this the Twentieth
senatorial district, subject to the action
of the Democratic convention. Mr..
Stevenson is an able attorney and made
quite brilliant record in the house as an
able lawmaker. His candidacy is
highly endorsed by the people of this
section. The people CT this county feel
that the expression of the Democratic
county convention of Wise county
in claiming the right TO noml-
nate the candidate for sena-
tor was considerably tinctured
with selfishness, as that county now has
the judgeship for this district, and our
people feel that in politics Wise county
ought not want the earth. The friends
of Mr.. Stevenson feel that he will GER
taiuly receive the nomination.
There are various expressions regard
ing the anti-commission and anti-Hogg
meeting held in Dallas Saturday. Some
of Mr.. Hogg's warmest friends admit
that in Hon. Gustave Cook will be found
very strong opponent to MIR. Hogg,
and that If Mr.. Hall should withdraw
Mr.. Cook would very likely get the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Others who are opposed to Hogg and
commission are free to admit that il will
be an impossibility TO defeat either.
There are some who think the meeting at
Dallas was bad thing for the opposition
TO the commission and Hogg while others
seem to think that 1t will be the means
of defeat of both.
Some time since THE G AzETTE cores
pendent, while in conversation with
Mr.. R.. H. Scott, president of
the Parker county Farmers AL
lance milling and elevator company,
regarding the dispatch i'll THE GAZETTE
of May II from Washington. to the effect
that great uneasiness was felt among the
Southern congressman at the Alliance
movement, MIR. Scott said he could not
see why any Democratic congressman
should feel alarmed: that the principles
of the Alliance were Democratic and they
were fighting the war tariff, that is and
has been expressing the yeomanry OF the
country and causing the immense amount
of mortgages of homes in the South aud
Northwest.
Hon. John d. Mccall was in the city
this morning and took the west-bound
train for the West. Mr.. Mccall, it is
thought by his many friends here, will
have a wHlk-over for comptroller.
