in the state and y ,ur comm ssion, sir,
a. regarded that strike sat rs powerIess
as baby. Applause 1t admoui-
th,s us that we are treadlng upon dan
gerous ground when one authority di-
reefs the receipts of business enter
prise and lets calamity upon labor,
which is the least able to bear it, Let
us go forwnrd and protect the labor
Of the country while we are protecting
the capital of the country. We must
adopt a commission that will ratify
these evils. You have noticed that a
great many men who framed the San
Antonio platform and elected Gov.
Hogg have gone over to the third party.
We have got to do something with
this commission to regulate and pro.
tect the business interest Of the coun
try. Every man, woman and child is
interested in it; capital is interested in
it. Governor, you must come and 60
with me. We must amend your com.
mission. We must make it elective
and we will invest it with good eonsti-
tutionsl powers to protect the labor of
the country while protecting the CAPT
tai of the country.
Judge Clark was at this point inter.
rupted and informed that his time
was out. He stated that his time was
up and closed by saying We intend
to Turn Texas Loose We intend
to turn labor loose. We intend to
turn all of our industries loose, and
there is another thing that we intend
to turn loose We intend to tu'n
Gov. Hogg loose. God bless Texas,
we are going to turn her loose and
let her rise up from the msnacles that
bind her. With the bright silver star
in her forehead Illuminating the earth
she will be guiding worthy people of
all nations to come and live with us
and we will send the governor back
to Tyler.
At the conclusion of Judge Clarks
speech general rush was made by
several thousand friends of the
Little Giant" to shake him by the
hand aud in the scramble Governor
Hogg, who was still seated on the
rostrum, was subjected to such pres.
sure tina. although several attempts
were made he could not rise to his
feet. This was however finally &C
complished, with the assistance Of
friends of Judge Clark, and further
danger averted. The serglng mass of
Clarktes continued the
rush till the Judge was finally lifted
up bodily and carried from the
grounds.
1t was plainly to be seen that Clark
had carried the day and that more
than two.thirds of the assembled mul
titude were his warm supporters.
NOTES.
A gentleman from Fayette county,
prominent physician, who buries all
his professional mistakes, attended the
joint debate at Cameron yesterday.
He is an enthusiastic Hogg man. He
told Col. Hall of our city that if the
Angel Gabriel were a csndinate for
governor against Gov. James Hogg
he would vote for Hogg.
A prominent farmer of Falls county
came on our excursion train at Lott
yesterday. He was wearing Hogg
badge. In conversation with one Of
our citizens he was induced to have a
Clark badge pinned on the other lapel
of his coat, promising that if
he became convinced from the dis.
cussion that the interest of Texas did
not require the re- election of Hogg,
and would best be subserved by the
election Of Clark, he would take off
the badge of the former On the re-
turn last evening he was wearing the
red badge of George Clark, emblem
of imperial truth.
George Glark's rejoinder to Gov.
Hogg yesterday at Cameron was so
powerfully cutting and inoisive that
the latter could not stand it so the
governor called time on George ten
minutes before it was out; and when
a contention arose between him and
Bart Moore which the audience did
not hear) he magnanimously allowed
Clark to consume his time. II
