FALLS COUNTY DEMOCRACY.
Correspondence OF the Gazette.
MARLIN, TEX, June I9.-FalIs county
is somewhat backward politically.
However things are warming up, espec-
tally on the gubernatorial question with
Hogg in the lead The commission
amendment ia not thoroughly UNDER
stood by the great mass of people yet
though it has strong advocates. Col. j..
]. Swan, candidate for foater; Hon.
u = DdNis, Cduu4udLt IOCdl TcpIc-
sentative, and nearly all the county can
didates are for Hogg and the amend
ment. 1t is safe to put Falls Demo-
cracy down as favoring Hogg and q
commission. The yeOmanry of this
county are tired of being ruled by George
Clark and ms henchmen and there will
be many a mule unhitcned from the pow
this ye6r and rode to the convention that
has hitherto remained away. The farm
ers are awake and will give the anti
Hogg men a 'black eye.' The
'pass' racket is so vigorously pushed
by the "antis'' did Mr.. Hogg good, and
the slanderOus report published in the
Houston Post has about as much effect
on the Hogg ramparts here as d musket
ball would on the rocks OF Gibralter.
