80 for Ella.

Bolton, Aug. l5.-The old judges soul
is powerfully warmed up by the hearty
response from Cleburne, Hamilton
and Coleman for the daughter of the hero
of the Mexican war. He hopes that all will
pile in the votes for her on Monday. May
she be the highest candidate outside of Fort
Worth. The counties composing the old
Thirty-foUrth district were Bell, Coryell,
Hamilton. Comanche, Erath, EaStland and
Shackelford Cannot each of these counties
roll up at least 2OOU votes! The old judge
would almost forget himself should the
Mexican war candidate come up ahead.
Come, my old stand-bys, come up to the
''help of the Lord against the mighty" 1
have hopes now, though had very little at
the start. Your Old Judge summons you to
the battle of the ballots. You stood by him
when he needed your help: now stand by
the fayOrite daughter of William Lowry,
the hero of two wars, and you will continue
to show to the old Judge that your Partially
for him in the days that tried mems
souls" when yours was a frontier
country, was not misplaced and is not
misplaced now. Oh, how l have always
loved the people of my old Thirty-fOurth
district, aud how | still love them! How
often ] remember their help when pistols
were showed in my face at Hamilton; when
swan the Leon beyond Comanchc; how
the keiths stood by ME at Dublin how
Manskers dogs slept under my bed III
Eastland county: how the Indians attended
my courts in Fort Griffin; how Col. Lowry
and other members of the bar travelled with
me with guns to protect the Judge from
the assaults of the wild Comanches
No. you have not forgotten these things,
and when Ella comes out ahead, trium-
phantly elected to four years free schol-
arship in Hardin college, all l ask is that my
old friends forget for a season our politics,
and write me letters of congratulation to be
published III THE GAZETTE, of our great
triumph in this contest, and that our hero
of the Mexican war has not been forgotten
and shall not be, till time shall be no more.

DALLAS, Aug 10 inclose 80 votes for
Miss Maud Haggart of this city, with the
wish that it was as many thousands as il is
hundreds. 1t looks as if Miss Maud would
not get to Hardin college this year, as her
friends have, TO all appearance, grown
tired. Dallas has lost her grip" and lets
little towns like Sulphur Springs, Colorado
City and Hillsboro do her up" 1t has
been said that 'cash.s scarce" in the me-
tropoliS, and it certainly must be. when
enough cash cannot be raised in the city to
eclipse Il half dozen of the small towns in
the state. Dallas ought to muster her pride,
shell out her cash and send Miss Maud to
Hardin. j. Il. JONES
