W. j. Swain then placed in nomination the
Hon. E. Linn of Victoria county for land com
missioner. He said the convention had placed
in nomination the youngest and only native
born man that had ever filled the gubernatorial
chair. Also in other offices the convention had

spect to age, young men, and it was his
honor to place in nomination man that would

The Hon. G. W. Smith seconded the nominal

and the people of West Texas had selected him
as their standard bearer. and hoped that the
delegates from other sections would support

likely that Quay will win.

have appreciated my efforts, he said, and l
thank you.

the cries for that gentleman brought him to the
platform. He said it was an honor he had not
anticipated. He had organized the first Demo-
cratic convention that was ever held in Texas as

interest in them. In selecting Mr.. Workman
the people of Texas had made wise selection
and he will make one of the most Jealous OFF,
Gals in guarding the interest of the people of
the state. Treasurer Lubbock retires with the
highest honor as evidenced by the unbounded
confidence of the people ofTexas in him q

Future Action of the Senate.

special TO the GaZctte-
WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-The Republican sena-
torial caucus tonight will doubtless settle for
good the long mooted question of how the rest
OF the session shall be spent 1t will adopt an
order of business and give the force of party
authority to one or the other of the plans pro-
posed for expedlting the work in the senate
as to permit an adjournment before the winter
sets in. 1t is not generally believed that the
majority of the Republican senators favor the
Quay resolution. Quay himself does not count
on any considerable party support for it. What
ne does look for, however, and with good reS-
sons, is a strong enough backing to prove to
the radicals in the senate that the combination
can be made between Republicans friendly to
the resolution and Democrats, all OF whom
favor it. This will raise the question, even in
the
MOST sTUBRoRN MINDS
for the party to insist as q
whole upon something which could be and
might be overtnrown any day by q bolt. The
attitude personally OF the members Of the com
mittee rules will be of great aid to Quay in
urging his resolution upon the caucus. 1t is
obvious that If vote were taken In committee
this afternoon it would be to report the resolu
ton favorably. The committee is made up
the Republican side of men who acting for
them elves now and then. The prospect, there
fore, seems to be that the caucus will be won
over to the Quay view of the situation against
the preConceIved purpose OF the majority. II
this is not done the vote taken will he admitted
~ without binding force and the committee on
rules will report the Quay resolution before the
end OF the week.
