AN ANTI-CoMMIssIoN MAN.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
NACOGDoCHES, Ten, Oct. 3.-The
representative convention which met at
Lufkin Yesterday has just completed its
labors, resulting in the nomination of
Ron. E. B. Lewis of Nacogdoches for
representative in the next legislature.
The fight was between Nacog
doches and Angelina counties.
Nacogdoches in her county convention
instructed her delegates 10 vote for A.
j Murphy of this county for representa-
tive, which entitled him to the nOmina-
ton, as this county has an exact two
thirds majority when voting solid!y. In
order to defeat the Murphyites some of
the delegates who were opposed to him
did not 90 the convention at all but sent
proxies, and the proxy delegates went in
with Angelina FOR tue defeat of Murphy
and so locked the convention that they
had to groom the dark horse, which
proved to be Lewis, who was nominated
by acclammation. This will give uni
versal satisfaction to all parties, for all
admit his superiority over any other tim
Der offered. The funny part comes in +,
that Lewis is IN avowed auti-com issiou
man, and anti-Hogg also, while both of
these counties are overwhelmingly for
Hogg and the commission. 'HCgg may
plant and commission may water, but it
takes d convention to give the increase. -
All of the commission men are satisfied
with Lewis, however, aud he is recog-
niZed as being very conscientious man,
and will be OF more general worth TO this
district than any candidate offered.
IN THE FIFTEENTH DISTRICT.
CoRsICANA, TEX, Oct. 4.-Demo-
cratic primaries 10 choose a nominee for
state senator from this, the Fifteenth
district, were held in the city to-day, all
the wards participating. The vote was
very light, only about us votes being
cast, of which w. H. Richardson of
Limestone county received two thirds.
Not more than one-half of the county
precincts held an election, owing to thes
opposition of the county committee !,
which refused to recognize the call on
the district chairman ordering same.
FLANAGAN AT PARIS.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX. Oct. 4.-Web Flanagan,
Republican candidate for governor made
q two hours speech this evening to
moderately good audience. He directed
his remarks to the San Antonio plat
form, making his principal assault upon
the commission amendment to the con-
stitution. He advocates state aid to a
Confederate home, separate railway
coaches for whites and blacks, and de-
nounced the force bill in plain, I'M
mistakable terms. His speech was we'll
received by all, though it will hardly
make any change in existing political
matters.
