| SENTIMENT AT NEVADA.
Special to the Gazette.
| NEVADA, Tex. June 13.-Hogg's OPP
| ponents are rare in this community.
SENTIMENT OF THE WEST.
HASKELL, Tex, June Il, 1890.
| To the Gazette.
Hogg sentiment is growing stronger in
this county and the west all the time.
We want railroads, and will do any and
| everything reasonable TO encourage
them, nor do we believe that Hogg for
| governor and the railroad commission
| will in any way deter or check railroad
progress in the west. They are now
building and will still build with Hogg
| for governor the same as with any
other man. Eastern capital is lying Idle,
United States bonds are no longer to be
had, and capital is seeking investment
and the capitalists are aware that Texas
affords broad and inviting fields for
profitable investments of their boarded
| millions. That railroads afford good and
ample returns, and they will continue to
pour west where there is less competition,
more cheap lands and better returns than
elsewhere. This country is settling and
developing. We invite railroads and
capital.

~ SITUATION AT sALADo.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
SALADo, TEX, June 1--we can
hear scarcely anything but politics.
That commodity is now at fever heat,
and seems to be contagious. If a farmer
comes in from the country pure and I'M
defled, he is sure to be afflicted before
he goes out. Hogg and the commission
is all the 90 and a man who doesn't
talk that way is set on at short notice.
BOWIE NOTES.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
BOWIE, TEX. June l2.-We are getting
hot. Some Panhandle people say that
Hogg ''sha N 't'' be governor, but the
proverbial "wool hat man on the forks''
says he shall, "railroad pass'' or no
'fpass.
Three newspapers in our city are for
Hogg for governor.
There is more building in our city to-
day than ever before, and yet the festive
candidate gets respectful hearing.
THAT RAILROAD PASS.
For the Gazette.
Doyou think Attorney General Hogg
Is mean DOlitical
Because in friendships courtIy fog
He rode on that railrosd pass?
Does not every officer of the state,
At least of highest degree,
Accept pass courtesy's rate,
Because roads got so much free?
Mr.. Hogg is no worse than any of those
Whom these passes do take,
And they need not in innocence pose
For gubernatorial cake.
And let them do as they may
He will be governor by that dandy fate
That rules by its own stern way.
So here's to Attorney General Hogg,
My.vote thro' thick and thro' thin,
''Free pa sses'' his way.will not clog, .

Correspondence of the Gazette.
NACoGDoCHEs, TEX, June I2.-Capt.
T. I. Gammage of Palestine, who is a
candidate for HOId Howdy's'' shoes.
spoke to our people in the courthouse to-
day. His views were very well deliv- |
cred, and were catching. In fact, he
has very matured ideas on most ques-
tions affecting the national polity. He
caught the audience most when he an
nounced his determination to advocate |
such appropriations as will make all !

bill demanding that the government |
stop retiring any officer on pay, and |
erecting any monument to her che /
roes.' A Federal judge or general has
