large meeting of the lawyers composing the
bar of Houston yesterday in the civil dis
terson, judge of the civil district
court was called TO the chair and
Hon. ]. r. Burns was made secretary.
MIR. NJ. w. Garrett offered the following
resolutions, which, on motion of Mr. o. I.
Holt, were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, certain charges have been
made and are now pending in the senate
and house of representatives of the congress
of the United States, rejecting upon the
honesty and integrity OF the Hon. A P Nc
Cormick, at present United States district
judge Of the Northern district of Texas;
and
Whereas, the said A. P. Mccormick was
born and raised in the county adjoining
Harris county, Tex, and practiced law in
Southern Texas for many years prior
to his being appointed to said district judge
ship, and his reputation and standing as a
man, lawyer and judge, he having been
Judge of the state district court for Calves
ton and Brazoria counties for several years,
is well known to US; and,
whereas, the acts and conduct alleged
against Judge Mccormick in the charges
referred to are at war with and contrary
to all his past life and character; therefore
be it
the bar of the city of Houston, Tex, in
meeting assem- led:
l. That the reputation and character of
the said A. p. Mccormick from the time he
came TO the bar as lawyer up to the time
he left Southern Texas, after being APP
pointed United States district Judge, and
since that time has been at all times that
OF an honest man, an upright and conscien-
tious lawyer, an able, just and
impartial judge, and that said reputation
is known by many of US who have person
ally and well known Judge Mccormick for
more than twenty years, to have been well
earned and justly deserved.
2. That Notwithstanding the SAID charges
made against him in the United States con-
gress, we have the utmost confidence in
the integrity, honesty and ability of the
said A. P. Mccormick as
man and lawyer, and as a Judge,
ana that our confidence in hum is not in the
least lessened or impaired by the said
charges, and we request that the nomina-
ton of said Mccormick to United States
circuit judgeship be confirmed.
3. That copy of these resolutions be
sent to the chairmen of the senate and
house committees in congress having under
consideration the charges aforesaid.
Resolved further, that the press of the
country be requested to publish these reso-
buttons. Attest:

SHERMAx, Tex March l. This city was
thrown into excitement this afternoon
when the sheriff and every available officer
left in haste for the home of William Smith,
two miles northeast of the city. A few mo-
ments before the father of Smith came TO
the sheriff'S office and made known the
following startling information: LAST
night one of Billey's little girls came over
to my house and stayed all night. She
went home this morning about 9 o'clock,
but she hardly had time to get there and
back when she ran up TO me crying and
wringing her hands and exclaiming, as she
came pretty near fainting for want of
breath, Papa and mammie and my brothers
have all been killed
went there as soon as | could and ter
rible sight met my gaze. Billie and his
wife were both lying in pools of their own
blood. Billie could humble out few
words, but his wife and one of the boys
were insensible. tried to ask Billie who
it was, but my poor boy he could
not hear The little boy who
was least hurt, but horribly cut
and bruised himself, managed to say that
Sam did it last night with piece OF
iron" Every one in the house Is cut and
gashed and beaten up, and there is blood
all over the house. There was no one there
who could tell me how it was. Who ever
did it must have slipped in during the night
and commenced the assault before his VIC
tins were up Sam Massey, q negro man
living near by was arrested and brought
into the city and followed to jail by an eX-
cited crowd. Massey protests his limo
cence, yet blood was found on his clothing
at the jail. Physicians at the scene OF the
terrible tragedy say that Smith and wife
cannot recover.

Special to the Gazette.
TYLER, Tex, March 1.-Your reporter
saw Hen. n. W. Finley this morning and
interviewed him concerning the report
made by the Dallas News reporter at this
place of Mr. Finley's speech delivered at
the Hogg club mass meeting on the Goth
ultimo and printed in the News in its issue
of the 2yth. Mr.. Finley said:
1.-The report made by the News special
reporter, located at Tyler, of my speech
made at my home on the organization of
Hogg Democratic club was not sufficiently
full TO enable the readers to gather a cor
rect idea of the spirit and meaning of my
remarks. l said nothing in the way of
abuse of the Farmers Alliance or of farm
ers who have heretofore been loyal to the
Democratic party and who now favor the
sub-treasury theory; on the contrary,
I said that all or nearly all
such farmers would go into the Democratic
primaries and remain loyal to the Democ-
racy of the state. he structures l used
were directed at sub-treasuryites who have
not been Democrats heretofore, and who
are now claiming to be Democrats Of the
Jetfersonian type. The editorial IN the
News of the 29th does not corr ectly present
my position. have never contended that
the abstract belief of one in the sub-treas-
uly theory ought TO exclude him from Dem
ocratic primaries, but that he ought TO be
excluded only when he places his adherence
10 that theory above his featy to the Dem
ocratic party, and viii not be governed by
the action of the party upon it. My letter
on the Cole case states my views on this
NATTER
In answer to further questions pro-
pounded by your reporter concerning the
campaign, Mr.. Finley said: II will say to
you once for all that Governor Hogg has
no campaign headquarters in Tyler. and so
far as l know or believe he will not have.
Ii is useless for YOU to ask me questions
about Governor Hogg's action or any of the
details of his campaign, for l do not repre-
sent him in any respect whatever. As an
individual l am for him and IN home affairs
/ will take part and favor him and his adj
ministration, and that is the full extent of
my connection with Governor Hogg and
his campaign. There are few supporters
of Governor Hogg in the state who take
any public part in politics that know less
of Governor Hogg's plan and purposes
than l do. The idea that am his champion
and chief 'buglesman' is bad mistake"

BAIRD, CALLAHAN COUNTY, TEX, March

been taking the sense of the people on the
various issues likely to be before them this
year, both state and national The people
are nearly unanimous for tariff reform and
free coinage of silver to be incorporated in
the national platform. Hill is the cry for
standard bearer. Now that Col. s. w. 7.
Lanham has declined to represent the
jumbo district again in the Federal con-
gress, the people whom he has served so
long, able and well say ''Well done, good
and faithful servant, step up higher and
occupy the gubernatorial chair" believ-
ing that he would be acceptable to North
and West Texas, and whose high character
and ability is well known from the Sabine
TO the Rio Grande. AS an untirlng and pro-
gressive worker. he has no superior His
past official record is without spot or blem-
ish, and hailing from section of the state
near the populous center, would make him
the most formidable candidate in the state.
His course in the public ervice would tend
to bring together the disaffected elements
and again solidify Texas Democracy They
say give Us Lanham for governor and
Texas will again take her place on the high
road to prosperity.

DESIsoN, GRAYsoN COUNTY, TEX, March
IA deputy United States marshal from
the Territory is in this city, and told the
following story TO your correspondent,
though mis- name is withheld at his request:
One night last week fourteen deputy United
States marshals were on the alert for
some whisky peddlers, supposed to be in
hiding between Atoka and Lehigh The
marshals were camped at the latter place
when word was received their men were at
Atoka, and the whole posse jumped their
horses and wildly rode toward that place.
1t was cold, dark night. ana every man was
armed to the teeth. They expected trouble
and were prepared for it. When about half
way of their journey two men on horses
were sighted coming slowly toward them
through the mist. Indeed it was so dark
that they were on them in = second, and the
deputy marshals surrounded the men, while
six-shooters were drawn and everything
