ATTORNEY GENERAL HoGG WELL PLEASED.
Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, June 16.-Attorney-
General Hogg was in his office to-day
and alluded in pleasant terms to his
meeting with Judge Cook at the speak
ing at BelleYille. Mr.. Hogg pays but
little attention to the alleged interview
with Abner Taylor and others of the Chi
oago capitol syndicate. 1t does not
worry him. After abiding to the mat
ter he said to THE GAZETTE correspond
ent: "Well, 1 wonder what they will
charge me with next?''
"No doubt with stealing, - replied the
correspondent, at which there was
big, hearty laugh.
The rapid instruction of the various
counties for Hogg published in Sundays
papers has demoralized the anti-Hogg
party here. Lawyers from different
parts of the state in attendance on the
supreme court to-day say Hogg Will go
into the convention with over 800 in
struoted votes.

convention, and they withdrew and held
a convention Of their own, and the other
side held one. Il now remains to be set
