CONVENTION NOTES.
The gallery was occupied by many
beau iful ladies and gentlemen.
The photograph tiend was early at work
and got dozens of flash views" of the
convention.
District No. II created some laughter
by hanging a very small effigy of hog
from the placard that marks that marks
their district.
The Van Zandt delegation brought into
the hall an elegant silk banner reading,
Van Iandt for Hogg," the only candi-
date banner in the state.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Hcgg. in
charge of the Hon. Bryan Callahugan, got
IN hack and was driven over the city.
Nobody accompanied them.
The ability, firmneSS and tact displayed
last night by Mr.. Brown in presiding over
the caucus was truly commendable. His
uniform courtesy and impartiality had
soothing effect on the crowd.
Judge John II. Copeland, though not
delegate, was on the stage, and was for
few moments the centre of attraction.
There is not more enthusiastic Hoggite
in the state. When the motion was made
for a committee of Hogg floor man.
ayers to be appointed by the chair he rose
with an amendment to make it 25, which
was greeted by a boot from some of the
crowd. The judge got exalted and at
tempted to speak, but fearful hub-bub
was raised. This was like Haunting
red rag in the bulls face. He advanced
to the front of the stage, waving his
handkerchief to make silence The din,
however, increased, boots, cries of soak
his head" put him out" How long
the contest would have lasted is not
known, but two SergeantS alarms finally
succeeded in quieting the judge by drag
ging him into the scenes and explaining
that only delegates had the right TO
speak.
Delegate John S. Mcconnell, from
1aprbd in the So P %@i tSoS GOgY ogs is
worker that is attending the big
"powwow." He worked like beaver
to have the delegation from his district
go instructed for the man of Tyler, in one
case riding 100 miles to influence one
small county.
Last night the street commissioner put
some two hundred men at work clearing
some of the streets around the centre of
the city. Scavenger carts hauled away
the trash swept up by the broom brigade
and for the first time the newly laid
blocks of Main plaza and Commerce
street were swept and scrubbed, and even
East Commerce street and Market street
were FURNISHED up. The city admins
her best in the eyes of the democrats.
Will the street commissioner put to work
200 men at double pay to do the same for
the republicans?
The convention refused to allow beer to
be sold in the hall.
Mr.. S. +. Moss, OF Meridian. the
lightning rod king of Texas, was a notable
figure in the HOgg caucus last night. His
large white crayat was very becoming
