Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-11-08

1 never said anything like what was
reported In the editorial of the Gazette
and refer you to anybody there ms to
the truth of my statement, Some of the
best and warmest friends l have on
earth have gone crazy ON this CLARK
matter. In fact the intimate friends Of
mine are located in this contest and |
certainly don't want them burned. 1t
seems that somebody started this for po-
litical eifect-what l did say was this:
"The Clark men claim that all the
big men of the state are out working FOR
Clark. Let us see, there is Senator
Maxey, we all honor aud respect him
for the service he did the South in the
United States senate, but as long as he
remembers that John H. Reagan de-
feated him for the senate and the Dem
ocrntic party is the least divided, If one
hundredth upon one such and ninety-nine
hundredths on the other and John III.
Reagan is found with the ninety-nine
hundreths. search the one hundreth and
you are likely to flnb Sam Bell Maxey.
Governor ThrockmortOn we all honor
for the able. service he has rendered

that in 1876 he wanted TO be govern

against James $. Hogg and withdrew
on account of his health after Hogg
had assurance of about nine-tenths of
cd q tie-up In the convention, and he
would furnish the key to unlock it, and
when James $. Hogg received over two
thirds Of the convention. lie can new
er do Justice to Governor Hogg as long
as Bill Herndon remembers that he
voted for the back salary grab, asked
his people for an Endorsement, andJames
S. Hogg went against him in the cam
vass and assisted to defeat him for re-
election to congress- AS long Norman
G. Nittrell remembers that he was Il
candidate for associate justice in dis
