OF Democracy who was the Texas men,
Der OF the committee on platform and
resolutions at Chicago, will address
the Central Clark club at the city hall
Tuesday night and will hurl grape and
canister into the camp of the oppressor.
The colonel is a power on the stump
and will make q number OF red-hot
speeches before the campaign closes.
Major Dan Malvern OF Austin Is in

CLARK ILL BE ELECTED
and never misses u chance to get in
lick for his favorite.
The railroad Clark club held a most
enthusiastic meeting at the city hall
this evening. The organizers report
excellent prospects tor the ticket
The Hogg men of the Seventh ward
held d meeting and denounced Chair
man Gillespie and the county executive
committee for putting out Henry
Smith as a candidate for the legislature
without
FIRST CONSULTING THEM.
They resolve that the action Of the
committee is un-Democratic and repud-
lated the nomination. The milk in the
cocoanut lies in the fact that III. H.
Smith is Clark man. Major A. Q.
Lennon
ONE ARMED VETERAN
of the Confederacy informed THE GA
zETTE reporter to-day that he has
watched the political pos ition closely
aud that all signs indicate the election
OF George Clark, He declares the
people are ripe for revolution against
old methods and old measures and that
progressive Texans outnumber the
retrograde fellows in this light. In
other words that the people now ON
earth intend to have voice in the af-
fairs OF state and a hand in shaping the
destiny OF the great commonwealth.
The major is somewhat of a guesser
himself
There is the greatest scramble for
the positions OF Justice oil the peace
ever known to even the Oldest inhab-
liant. There are two to be elected and
o prudential man can make $4,000 a year
out OF the job. There were fifteen can
didates in the field until to-day, when
Ben Fabian, city editor OF the North
Texas Press SHE'D Mr.. Carter into the
ruts. The Press is booming George
Clark. Fabian is German jew,
clever writer and sin the push.n He
has been in Texas ten years and will
poll heavy vote, IL is believed. There
are colonies, majors, a Trinity river
navigator a carpenter, real estate
agent, drummer and newspaper
reporter all anxious to dispense justice
and gather in the fat shel1els that
cometh into the temple Of justice.
Another lively fight will be for the
position Of member of the commission
ers court of this precinct. The country
boxes have modestly claimed this job
since the formation Of the county, and
as result the city has never had a
member OF this court. E. q. Knight,
q prominent business man, has entered
the race and will make the fur fly,
Tom Fisher, the present incumbent,
lives at Calhoun, and Is embarras-
sed with a Confederate record.
It is alleged that neither of these gen
tlemen carry about jag OF affection for
Governor "Jeemsn Hogg, which will
make the fight still more interesting.
Col. Waller S. Baker who
SWINGS THE BhOAD-AAE,
for the Hogg state central committee,
arrived in Dallas this morning and was
closeted the greater portion OF the day
with Col. G. II. Gilbert, of the Times
Herald Jot Gmter, Col, Bob
Cowart, Sam Klein, George Q. Cole
w. H. and John CASTOR, and other I'M
terrified and ultra supporters OF Gov
ernor Hogg from city and country. 1t
is understood that the tocsin OF war
was sounded and demand made that
the scalps of Chairman G. B; Gillespie
and the city managers of the county
| executive committee should be ierked
from the heads OF the wearers forth
with. The crime laid at their
door is that they are either openly
supporting Judge Clark or are giving
Gov, Hogg mighty little consolation.
The Hogg men wanted county chair
man appointed who would decapitate
the offenders on the committee and
make a sulphurous campaign from now
on for the pOnderous gentleman from
TYLER. This afternoon Bryan Il.
Barry Richard Morgan, w. II. Clark,
Jesse NJ. Strong in addition to these
gentlemen enumerated above, enjoyed
a conference with the chief headsman
of the Tylerian dynasty. Chairman
Gillespie dropped in also. He declined
TO state who he disappearing, Hogg or
Clark, according TO rumor.
He also declined to remove
from the committee the avowed
Clark men. Il was the least
but accommodating not in the least
abashed, and did not appear TO care
whether school keeps or not II is
said there was red-hot discussion in
this conference, several dynamite
bombs exploded and sbeol was raised
generally. Col. Baker left for home
tonight He refused to state what
action he had taken or would take. but
Il Is safe TO predict a new committee
and a new legislative ticket.
II. b. Sanborn OF Houston, one Of the
largest land ownsrs in the state Of Texas,
wants Hogg defeated as a matter Of
defeat him.
