GAINESVILLE RED LETTER DAY.
Special to the Gazette
GAINESVILLE, TEX, Sept. 25.-The
barbecue and grand ratification at this
place to-day in honor of J. w. Bailay
was one of the most perfect successes
ever held IN this county. An innum-
cradle host of visitors from Grayson ,
Clay, Denton, Wise and Montague
counties were present. The country and
city turned out en- masse to
participate in honoring Cooks dis
tinguished son. Charles A. Culberson,
Democratic nominee for attorney-gen-
eral, and W. A. Workman; nominee for
treasurer, were present. Bailey, Gull
berson, Workman, Judge Dills OF Sher-
man and Squires of Henrietta, a recon
structed Hare man, made speeches.
Bailey sustained his deservedly earned
reputation of magic orator and mag
netio man. He held the vast assem-
blage OF several thousand persons en-
trsnced through two hours of such elo-
quence as was won't to fall from the lips
of s. S. Prentiss.
He was followed by Charles
Culberson, who added new laurels
to his already gorgeous chapter
of fame as matchless
speaker, ripe scholar, sound states
man and stainless patriot. Culberson
bravely and fearlessly advocated the
commission amendment, in spit of his
knowledge that Cooke county is over
whelmingly anti. Purely. forcibly,
clearly and logically did this fearless
orator expound the benefits and
propriety of a commission. Not O
few converts were added to that grand
Democratic brigade marching to victory
in November. Culberson's eloquence
was worthy of a Chathan-it left the
vast audience under that spell which
Milton pictures in the eloquence of
Raphael.
Worthan delivered an old style Demo-
cratic speech which received tremendous
applause.
The affair was a magnificent success,
and everybody went away well pleased
with Gainesville and her hospitality.
