y. L. Worthlngton, ch1ef clerk OF the
motor power department of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, was at Hotel Roanoke
yesterday Mr.. Worthington said: 81
am making tour OF inspection compar-
ing the various methods of keeping &C.
counts in force with different roads with
ours. OF course could not leave out
the Norfolk and Western. 1 will say
that am much pleased with their sys-
tenn; in fact it would be hard to improve
upon it. This is a great road, and what
ever they do is done we'll. With Roa-
noke am much pleased, and regret
that l cannot remain here longer
You city, in my opinion, has an exceed
ingly bright future before it." Mr..
WorUhington left on the noon train yes
terday.
w. II. Mason, lawyer from Alvord,
Texas, on his way to Washington,
stopped off in Roanoke yesterday to see
friends in this city. In conversation
with a TINES reporter Mr.. Mason said:
1.-THE Farmers Alliance of Texas is
strong, but it, as whole, by no means
indorses the doctrines of the Third
cratic ticket in the State on national
elections. Barber, who came near beat
ing Anthony in the Mills district, was q
Farmers Alliance candidate and did
not pretend to DO Third party man.
That was the reason Of his running such
good race. No, sir; Texas is in no
danger and she will roll up 100, 900
majority for Cleveland and tariff reform.
Tho contest between Hogg, the
present incumbent, and Judge George
Clarke for the governorship has been
remarkably bitter one. Tho progressive
element of the State is unalterably op-
posed to Hogg for his radical measures
against corporations and his position on
the alien land law. He has already
injured the State and his re election
would be great calamity to us. He is
not a fit man for governor as he is de-
void of ability and Is political trick
ster. There Is good story told on
Hogg, but cannot vouch for It's truth
fulness. While attorney general of the
State the famous drummer tax case was
tried on appe al before the United States
Supreme Court he representing the
State. He is noted for his ranting and
in opening the case he INDUCED in his
usual style of speaking. Justice Brad
ley said: Mr.. Hogg, we hear you, sir,
|
am glad you do hear me, | came here to
be heard and l am going to be heard
But lnterposed Justice Bradley. you
do not seem to understand that the rule
| of this court is that all arguments shall
be in a conversational tone of voice.
| The attorney general admitted that no
did not and proceeded with his argu-
ment and in a few moments was almost
| played out. Then turning to the court
he said: Gentlemen, l am not used to
senting the State of Texas and il am
not do my client justice
and when he reached Justice Miller he
just like he does down in Texas AS
of this story, but it would have boon
characteristic of the man"
Mr.. Mason left on the 12:45 train last
night for his destination.
At the Ponce de Leon yesterday a
Pennsylvania gentleman said: my
State will, of course, go Republican, but
my opion that Cleveland's vote will be
increased from twelve to fifteen thou
sand over that cast for him in 1888.
regard this as conservative estimate.
Tho new system, which is tho same
thing as the Australian will be in force
in Indiana, and that will beat Harrison
son don't win this time the Democratic
| party had better go out OF business"
