that way about it.-[Fort Worth Mail.
George Clark he is not asking the people fol-
anything and don't want to be governor.-t Den

Raise Hogs in Texas is the watchword
just now. The best stock of fne-blooded Hogs
TO raise this year is Attorney General Hogg from
the office of A.-G. to that of governor of Texas.
Bowie Independent.
Uncle Jim Throckmorton is one OF the best
hogg raisers in Texas, and generally salts
| his ''Hogg'' meat down about November,
| -lMontague Democrat.
| There is neither wit nor deoency in the
| efforts made by some papers, when speaking
about Attorney. General Hogg, to play on his
name. 1t is a good old English name, and a
distinguished English poet once bore it. The
attorney general is a gentleman and bears him
self as such and his name is not at subject for
him into ridicule. Finally, If the people want
to beat Hogg for governor they must go at the
work IN some other way than by trying to bring
him into ridicule because of his name. Such
tactics are not worth cent in this campaign.-
Waco Day.
Attorney General Hogg is before the
people as a candidate for governor on his merits.
To the gentlemen opposing him he has no politi
cal trade to offer that will prevent locked con-
yention. If he is the voice of two-thirds of the
Democratic citizens of Texas he will receive the
nomination and there will be no room for dark
horses. If any politician cherishes the hatter-
ing JUNCTION that he will be able to trade Mr..
Hogg off for dark horse, it is high time for him
to be impressed with the idea that Mr.. Hogg is
not making this race for his health,-[Tyler
Courier.
Ex-Governor Throckmorton was in
Greenville few days ago, and the Herald of
that place says: HE talked freely on the
questions chiefly engaging the attention of the
people of Texas at this time, such as road i'm
provement, uniform system of text books for
asylums), the establishment of a railroad COM
mission, the policy OF voting into effect the
constitutional amendment providing for an ad-
ditional road tax at the option of counties Of
from five to fifteen cents per 500, etc. -
The ex-governor can be lied upon every time
to speak freely on all questions without having
TO take time to think over how lis utteranceS
may effect his candidacy. II Blanco News.
Are the farmers, especially members of
the Alliance, going to support Gen. Hogg for
governor? If they don't, they should never say
anything more against monopolies. Gen. Hogg
is one officer in a thousand that has dared to
throw himself squarely in the break and antag-
onize gigantic corporations and try to force them
to respect the law, thus bringing down upon his
head the eternal auathemG Of soul!ess corpora
tons. viii the people stand by him or will
they desert him? We predict for Limestone
county that she will go the whole Hogg AS for
ourself, we viii. support Gen. Hogg, even if the
immortal Sam Houston should be- resurrected
and run against him.-[T Bennett in Mexia

Lieutenant Governor Wheeler is gain
ing prominence as formidable rival for guber-
Material honors. Governor Wheeler is a good
man, an able and trustworthy statesman, and.
no doubt, will make it interesting for other as
pirants.-[ Wichita Herald.
He is the best man for governor OF Texas. He
is not too old, has executive experience, and
will be governor of the whole state should he
secure the nomination and be elected Hogg
has made good attorney ge neral, but we don't
want a sectional man for governor.-LVernon
Governor Throckmorton is our first choice and
Governor Wheeler second. We believe he would
make good governor, and the Panhandle and
West Texas should not overlook his claims in
their county Observation-Disclosures first,
Wheeler second.-fChildress County Index.
Attorney General Hogg, the "fearless
official who deserves the hearty support of his
party, will open the campaign by
speeches on matters OF general interest to the |
state of Texas. He leads off in this as he will |
lead his opponents in the convention. For him |
to earnestly sustain his convictions, for |
him to think, he's right is signal |
to his convictions. scrupu- |
lousy honest, studious counsellor, friend in |

with an energy indomitable, he presents an |
