REPUBLICAN CONVENTION BROKEN UP.
Special to the Gazette.
THURBER, TEX. Aug. 25.-Our peo-
vi hnrA md oil f,o
been considerably stirred up for the past
few days over an outrage perpetrated by
the hoodlum element of Dublin against
four delegates from this place to the Re-
publican convention which was to have
convened at Dublin on the 10th inst.
1t seems that as soon as it was known
that a couple OF negroes were among the
delegates the darklantern clans began
to collect their forces and organize for the
purpose of running the negroes out aud
breaking up the Republican convention.
The delegates from this place received
their ''orders' and returned home as
fast as their teams would bring them
and the convention was broken up.
Our best citizens condem this infamous
outrage and the Republicans of the
county are earnestly invited to hold their
convention at Stephenvills where they
will have every protection and be treated
with every courtesy. From the best in
formation obtained the men who en-
gagged In such shameful conduct at
Dublin belong to the political class
called the darklanternites.

James r. Newcomb, b. +. johnson,
of the Light, a. P. Tugwell and some

SPLIT IN UNION LABOR RANKS.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. ga dispatch
from jefferson City says what IS known
as the Garland companion wing OF the
Union Labor party met In state conven-
ton this morning With thlrty-four dele-
gates present, al from st. Louis. E.. L.
Briggs was elected temporary chairman,
and after the appointment of the usual
committees the convention adjourned
until p. m.
A fractional fight in the party is apt to
give the secretary of state some trouble.
Under the Australian ballot the party
must poll per cent. of the vote of the
state before it is entitled to present eau
didates for state officers. The vote
polled at the last election (19 ,0O0)
barely permitted of this. Now there Is
split in the party, and two oonven-
lions have been called, and it is sup
posed that two sets of tickets, each
claiming to be the regular Union Labor
ticket, be nominated. Between these
TWO ticheLs Lut 5ocE0Lhry OL lu6 utISdLeu
faction will likely resort to msndamus
proceeding, and in this event the con-
stitutionality OF the law itself will be
passed upon.
Upon reassembling at 8 O'Clock the re-
port of the committee on credentials was
heard and permanent organization eff
footed.
w. Il. Garland was elected chairman
and John T. Davis. secretary. A state
committee was named and the executive
committee declared abolished.
The convention then adjourned until
z o 'clock, at which time committees on
platform and resolutions will render
their reports.
