Gov. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, has made a
splendid record and he will be renomi-
mated. His re. election is doubtful.
Ohio is a pretty sure republican state.
Last year, when the democratic tidal
wave swept the country, the republicans
were still able to elect their state ticket
by a good majority, and the chances are
that Mckinley will carry the state this
year. Campbell is a great campaigner,
however and the fight will be hot and
close.

Texas Exhibit Cars.

J. J. Fairbanks of Denison, with the
Texas exhibit cars. now replenishing at
Dallas, is in the city, and in conversation
with GAZETTE man yesterday afternoon
told of his travels and the good that would
result to Texas. MIR. Fairbanks said that
miles and visited seven states, and had dis
tributed about five and one-half tons of
Texas advertising matter. More than two
hundred and fifty thousand people, he said,
have visited the cars on this recent tour.
Ex-Governor Hubbard was with the cars
and party a greater portion of the time and
delivered lectures before the fairs in the
different states, and as result the railways
report that they have sold over four thou
sand excursion tickets into Texas within the
last forty days. Maj. Slosson, managing-di-
rector of the exhibit cars, leaves Dallas
this week for the Atlantic coast states, and
proposes to keep the cars On the move now
until next July.
MIR. Fairbanks also says that when the
cars leave Dallas they will contain upwards
of four thousand articles placed an exhibit.
He urges upon the people Of Fort Worth
the Importance of sending advertising mat
ter to distribute free, and says emphatically
he doesn't think the city could 90 better
thing than to send them 5000 or more copies
of THE GAZETTE; it is good paper to dis
tribute; he knows this from experience,
and says there's no better way to adver-
tise the city and Texas than to keep the
people Of other states well supplied with
newspapers, and, following out this idea.
there is no better medium than The GA
zETTE. A newspaper is an index to a city
and states resources and progress.
Mr.. Fairbanks is wide awake to the i'm
portance of these exhibit cars, and puts his
whole soul into the work; is fine talker
full of facts and figures, and no one will
leave the cars doubling the superiority of
Texas over other states.

The Theater,

Those who attended the concert by
Liberati'S band last night enjoyed a treat.
The programme, instead of ten numbers
consisted of twelve, the 'Miserere," from
''n Trovatore" and ia Paloma" being
rendered by request. A novel feature is
numbers, which, however, produced a
rather pleasing effect. One feature of
Liberati's music is the number of clarion
cites, picolos and flutes, almost one-half
the instruments being of this class.
Among the musicians are large number of
clarionet, cornet, trombone and flute SOLO
lists OF almost national fame, among them
being Walter Pryor, cornet, and Arthur
Pryor, trombone, two lads who have not
yet reached their majority.

TARRANT COUNTY LANDS.
What Gen. Clarke Thinks of the Possibil-

In conversation with a reporter of THE

of the owners of salable lands in Tarrant

have.

close to Fort Worth, and the inquiries are
made by parties in other states who want
to purchase farms near to our city,
"You locate them, of course" said the
reporter.

'Yes, sir, a first-class country for farm

prairie, probably one-third wooded. 1t has

is twenty to thirty bushels of wheat, forty

where his land is, what kind of soil it has,
