THE GAZETTE Is 4 NEWSPAPER

WHEN thirtv-SeVen Alliance men who OBJ
pose the sub-treasuy and support Hosg
met in Fort Worth few days ago, The
GAZETTE devoted nine or ten columns of
matter daily to their doings. The sub
treasury and anti-Hogg Alliance men are
now camped At Fort Worth, 5000 strong, and
THIS GAEETTE devoteS 4 half column Of
space TO them. There IS partisanship run
mad. -. Waco Day.
An aspiring naturalist who wished
10 display his knowledge before Cuvier,
described crawtish as "a red fish that
crawls backward" Very correct. 3"
said the great naturalist, except that
it is not a fish, is not red, and does not
crawl backward"
The Day is very nearly as exact in
its statement as was the description of
the crawlish.
THE GAZETTE will not undertake to
say how many Alliance men attended
the anti-sub-treasury meeting, but the
large hall where they met was com
fortably filled, and the number must
have been at least two or three hun
dred. They were in no sense COM
mitted to the support OF Hogg. THE
GAZETTE gave full reports OF the pro-
ceeJings. occupying 4 space of five or
six columns daily. THE GAZETTE gave
from one to two columns 10 reporting
the sub-treasury Alliance picnic pro-
ceedings. and covered the ground OF
interest very fully in that space

Alliance, gathered from all parts of the
state. and some from other states, to
so!emnly protest against the conduct OF
the Alliance management, and TO in
augurate a new movement in opposition
TO the Macune dictation. Their proceed
ings were of national interest. because
they were the first to give voice to the
feeling OF that very large number Of
Alliance members all over the country
who repudiate the sub-treasury policy
that the Alliance is being committed
TO, and that convention was, in sense,
the inauguration of national move
ment which will have very wide
Alliance. The meeting of the sub
treasury wing Of the Alliance near this
city last week was merely picnic-a
popular gathering Of farmers from the
country around Fort Worth, with two
or three local speakers and Marion
Martin from the outside to make
noise.
Delegated conventions do not gener-
ally call together as big crowd as
country picnic but their proceedings
are read with great deal more inter-
est. THE GAZETTE gives space to news
that the people are anxious 10 read,
but doesn't stuff its columns to boom a
picnic.
By sticking to its textbook on the
constitution, and stroking itself, the
Day will win greater reputation than
by criticising THE GAzETTE'S manage
ment of its news columns.

Harry Tracy At Bowie

Special TO the Gazette
BOWIE, MONTAGUE COUNTY. Ten, Aug.
a.-Harry Tracy and G. +. Thomas spoke
here on last evening to i well-filled house.
Il having been announced that Hon. j. w.
Bailey would meet Mr.. Tracy there was
considerable disappointment when it was
found that Mr.. Bailey could not be here.
Bowie always has man to. defend Democ-
racy, and in this event G.. F. Thomas was
the man, and right we'll did he do his part
in knocking the props from under the sub
treasury, Alliance, third party or whatever
it may be called, and it's cold day in
August when the average Bowie Demo
crat can't put the usual badge of mourning
on the eye of all such chestuuts as the sub
treasury scheme. Mr.. Tracy was probably
disappointed to some extent in not finding
those eX-Democrats. spoken of some time
since i'll that wonderful interview. II
there are any third party apostles here
there was only one showed up last night,
and he only came 10 the front after very
earnest solicitation. As an expression of
the third party movement at this place we
would suggest that the Democrats escorted
Mr.. Tracy from the depot 10 the speakers
stand and Democratic chairman introduced
him to the audience. Everything passed off
nicely, and q good time was INDUCED in,
but the third party is in great error when

HAM GossErr THE REAL AUTHOR

HAM GOSSETT THE REAL AUTHOR.
The statement that Governor EOgg
is the real author" of the alien land
law has not the shadow OF foundation
TO support it. There is nothing in the
San Antonio platform that can be con-
strued into demand for law con-
corning alien ownership. That plat
form contained plank against corpor-
ate ownership of land. which is a
totally different thing from alien
ownership. That plank was an almost
verbatim reproduction Of the gov
errors language in his Rusk speech on
that subject. He never mentioned
alien ownership in his catalogue OF de-
sirable legislative enactments, and
when the legislature took mp the Cos
sett bill ii ignored completely the
platform and the governors recon-
mendation, and gave Us something that
nobody has asked Tor and that all sensi-
BILE men regard with apprehension and
disfavor. If the legislature had fol
lowed the governors recommendation
and stuck to the platform. or if, in
ignoring both, it had exercised a little
common sense in enactinga law against
alien ownership, there would be no
complaint and no damage done. But
in following Mr.. Gossett it wandered
from the landmarks set down for it, and
naturally enough wound up It's blunder-
ing career by the passage Of his
laundering bill.
As everybody knows or should know
from perusal OF his Rusk speech, the
governor was opposed to the absorb
ton OF wide areas OF land by syndi-
Gates and powerful corporations or
gained for acquiring land or for other
purposes. 1t is well known that a
great deal of Texas land has passed
and is still passing by direct purchase
into the control OF such companies that
have no other use for it but to hold ii
for an enhanced price. The conven-
ton at san Antonio shared the gov
ernor's view about the evil of that prac-
tice. and expressed itself in emphatic
language against it. As well say that
Governor Hogg is responsible for the
reciprocity feature OF the Mckinley
bill. merely because he favors tariff re-
duction or free trade. The only differ
ence in the two cases is found in the
fact that he allowed the Gossett bill to
become law, although it was not at
all what he had asked of the ie@is-
lature. Doubtless he considered it
step in the direction indicated, and
failing. as Il great many others had
done, to discover the hidden mischief
in the bill. gave it his signature. And
that is the full extent of his authorship
of the bill.

IL what way Crisp's candidacy for

The Alliance congressman declare that
