COY. ROGG'S RECEPTION.
Special to the LIGHT

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov, l3.-The voters of
Texas have decided by their ballots on
the last election that they will be satisfied
to have James 5. Hogg for gov rnor for
another term and the predictions that
they will be sorry for it are numerous let;
us hope for the best and submit to ruling
with good spirit in the interest OF Texas.
Arrangements were perfected to give
the governor a grand reception yesterday
evening by the Hogg club here. He
came in on the International at 7:20 and
was met by the committee, the Universe
ty democratic club, the mayor of the city,
four bands including the 23rd U. 5. In.
fantry band and the capital city band OF
this city, the Governor 5 guards and the
cavalry company, and about one thou
sand citizens.
A parade was formed, led by Judge
Henderson, president of the local Hogg
club, with a wagon load OF fireworks, and
followed by carriages containing the
governor, the committee and the visitors,
while the bands, militia companies, etc,
brought mp the rear. As the procession
reached Eighth street the wagon of fire
works took fire and had to be turned over,
that the procession might proceed. Con
greSs avenue was one blaze Of illumin,-
lions, rockets, sky scraperS, etc, while
ored fires and rockets from the dome.
Ample evidence that all of Austin was
not glad to welcome the governor back
was given by the cries Of: 'Hurrah for
Clark" Turn Texas loose" 'Sooy."
from the crowd all along the Sidewalks.
The capitol grounds were lit with arc
lights and Chinc>n lanterns and a cannon
planted in the yard in front OF the Alamo
monument doomed continuously, making
the windows rattle.
The governor and escort alighted from
the carriages and led the way to the Rep
reseutative hall where flowers had been
placed and decorations made in honor of
the event. Clustered around the governor
were those who stood by him through
this campaign, McGaughy, Handy, To
bin, Henderson. Lubbock and others.
General Handy introduced A. W. Ter
rel Who had made the speech of welcome
two wears ago. to again welcome the gov
ernor back in the name Of the people OF
Austin Terrell spoke in glowing terms OF
the success OF the democratic party both
in the state and in the United States. He
said that this election meant the death OF
tariff and ruinOuS taxation and the sue
cess of the railway commission law.
Texas was capable OF taking care or her
self, her people and her corporations.
James 5. HOgg was then introduced
an said: Ladies and gentlemen: on
my return here tonight To the CAPT. Al
CITY after long and eVentful campaign

state as perhaps the bittereSt that we
have ever had, | am profoundly grateful
TO he people of Texas and those in this
city for the welcome rendered me here
\ man without pride is SlOven. am
proud OF the good people OF Austin
| who have ever been kind t. me
IN this campaign; am proud OF
the people of Texas who are in the saddle
| in the interest of good government; am
proud that we are a Die to control our cleo =
lions and keep our ballot box pure; am
very grateful to you for the kindness
shown myself and family; while the
tongue of SANDER has been lOo'e at both
ends to the hurt of my fee ingS yet feel
that the pure men and women OF Austin
have, by this demonstration, repudiated
/.
twill be with You two years longer and
standing here in the presence OF the great
aSSembage, now make this promise to
yOu that the constitution shall be main
tanned and that the law shall be impair
TALLY executed to the full tentOt eXecu-

ment in the platform on which | have

(ApplauSe)
This place called Austin, very appro-
priately IL seems. is the idol of Texas.
Here stands the University In which
stands the hope Of Texas; surrounding us
on every hill is an institution supported
by the people and for one shall stand by
them and the constitution, in that respect
ia obedience to the will OF the people and
81 institutions all OthnrS
will be protected from the hands that
would drag them down.
After a campaign. my fellow citizens,
speaking day by day, often as nigh as hVe
times each, cOntending for pure govern
ment | am in no condition TO make
speech. But | am going to say that by
the election OF Cleveland you have given
evidence in no uncertain tune that taxa
ton would be reduced and we will have
interest reduced in Texas to two cents.
The election of Jim HOgg means some
thing: it means that the people OF this
state are too sensible to be Swayed by
base misrepresentation and SANDER; IL
means that the people OF this state
are capable OF managing their
people of this state will run
exas and control her corporate creatures
Tnder the law. 1t means, fellow, citizens,
uhat we are to have, throughout the
length and breadth of this state, the laws
lmDartiallv executed, TO protect lie, I'D
ierty and rights; it means that In place of
the wiIu cat Spectators who have been
standing on the corners for four months
discussing HOgg, must get out and in
their place we will have an influx OF men
whO:mean right.
I will be the governor of the democrats
and of the republicans; of the Lhlrd-par-
tyites and the boltocratS; in the enforce
ment of laws shall never have any prefer,
enee for or against any class. Equal
rights to all with special privileges ac-
corded to no one.
The governor spoke at some length de-
fining his policy ard stating what changes
he wonld make to suit the whimsical. He
also spoke at some length on the men
