Correspondence Of the Gazette
MCKINNEY, TEX. June 13.-Hon. H /.
G. Mack left this morning for Montague
county. He will shell the woods of Mon
tague, Grayson and Denton in the inter-
est of Hon. r. NJ. Hall. He will ~advo-
cate moderate commission, such es was
outlined by Governor Throckmorton and
as is advocated by MIR. Hall. He will
oppose the plenary power commission ad
vocated by Mr.. Hogg. Mr.. Hogg's Of
ficlal acts, especially his connection with
certain railway receiverships, together
with his failure to prosecute
suits against watered stock and
determinations for which the law
and constitution already provide will
command attention. He will assert that
Hogg is really not in favor of a oommIs-
sion amendment and will advocate the
claims of R. NJ. Hall for governor and a
strict Democratic organization. These
are the known views of Mr.. Mack, and
it goes without saying that the speech
will be a spicy and mighty interesting
contribution to the campaign literature.
WANTED AT VERNON.
VERNON, TEX. June n, 1890.
Editor Gazette.
The element that now declares Hogg
and railroad commission will set Texas
back ten years, is the same identical
element that set her back 100 years by
the internal lease system. Oh, consis-
, tenoy, where art thou to be found?
Thou art a ''daisy" and we seeketh
after thee. II. B. W.
FINDLEY AND POTTER AT WHITESBoRo.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
WHITEsBoRo, Tex. June 14.-SenH-
tor Findley of Grayson county and G. l..
Potter of Cooke opened the campaign
here to-day for the Office of state senator
from the two counties, Potter claiming
that the amendment and commission con-
stltate the main questions in the cam
zbEfEn He favored them both, with
commission of limited powers-one to
"regulate,' and not "oentrol' rail-
5roads. He favored legislation on the
road law amendment, TO practically en-
force. He thought q superintendent or
overseer in each county, properly paid,
would appropriate the funds raised, by
low taxation, TO the best advantage. He
favored the passage of law to compel
delinquent polltax payers to work out
their taxes on the public roads. He
claims that Cooke is entitled to the sena-
tor this term, but was willing to go bP-
fore the people on this subject.
Senator Findley, while in the senate,
voted to submit the neutrality-suspicious.,
and he was stilr standing by
n, and asking for a commits
sion of regulative or supervisory
powers. He also voted to submit the
road law amendment and favored the
necessary legislation to put it in opera
tion-thought that the local option
theory was fair and just. He claims
that Grayson is entitled to the senator
this term, difference of opinion be-
tween him and his opponent, tn t will
probably be carried through the cam
paign, to be settled only at the polls.
Both speakers claimed that the legis-
1ature had the power over the railroads,
to regulate them properly, without the
aid of the amendment.
There was present a very fair audience
for the SEASON. and short notice given,
and both gentlemen were listened TO
with strict attention. Neither speaker
vouchsafed even q small pointer as to
who was his best man for governor.
SPOKE At LANCASTER.
Special to the Gazette.
LANCASTER, TEX. June 15.-The Hon.
Richard Morgan and Col. J. B. Simp-
son, both of Dallas, spoke here last
night to an audience of probably 200 at
the opening speech, but by 1880 o 'clock,
when the discussion closed, not over
forty persons were listening. The latter
gentleman championed the cause of Mr..
Hogg, while Mr.. Morgan espoused the
cause of the Hon. GustRve Cook. Not
mnch interest was manifested, both
speeches being but rehash of the chest
nut arguments, pro and con, on the
commission question.
BOWIE COUNTY.
Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, TEX, June I5.-What-
ever may be the causes at work, or the
result of the campaign; there is certainly
an upheaval of the political elements of
this section and a zeal shown in the can
yass for great aud small candidates
never known here before. The most re-
mote beats and precincts are holding
meetings, and forming clubs, as if the
salvation of our country depended on the
issues of the hour. On Friday night
great meeting of the Democracy was
held at Wagnon' IS box, the most populous
precinct IN the county. Telling speeches
were made by Hon. Dan T. Leary and
Hon. R. l.. Henry. 1t is said that there
was only one anti-Hogg ,anti-commission
man on the ground.
An enthusiastic meeting was held last
night at the junction, FIVE miles
south OF this city, where the same senti-
msnt seemed TO prevail. The Republic |
can party have no comments to make,
while the voices of those who from prin- |
ciple were anti-commission men were |
in the shouts of Hogg's adher- |
ents. The fact is the few anti-commis- !
sion men surrendered Internationally |
early in the action, or as soon as it was |
known who was to be their flag bearers. |
tsThe caliber of these guns was entirely |
too small for the size of the battle. -

Democi alto primary by a unanimous
vote instructed for Hogg and gave two
thirds vote for Pendieton. The opposi- |
ton TO Pendletou have given in since
his record.
