he was taken to the Michael Reese hospital, laid
upon the dissecting table, but yet he showed no
signs of life. DIR. Davis threw handful of
water into Longs face and saw his eyelids
move. The doctor knew Long was playing
postum, and said to his assistants: This
room is u little small for all to see here, so
think we had better cut the body in two and
take half into the next room, so that all can
see it - That was enough for Long and spring
ing from the table he shouted: Il amt dead,
and / don't propose to be cut up either" "
When placed in cell he feigned insanity. He

Ex-Governor Ireland has, at last,
found the proper time" to declare his
preference for governor and he did it,
in a debate with third party man at
Floresville Monday. 1t was neither
Clark nor Hogg, but if it was either of
them it would be Hogg. There's
patriot and a statesman for you.
Hogg's scientific analysis of the the
DRY of railroad curves put the Sage Of
Seguin to thinking and he seems
almost persuaded" If the governor
will corral Honest john again and
explain the won derful and complex the.
DRY of railroad grades in detail, and
prove by scientific deductions, the
automatic truth discovered first by the
Texas railroad commission, that is,
there are just as may ascending grades
on a given line of railroad as there are
decending grades, the ex-governor
will, no doubt, be "his'n."

THEk LIE ANGRK.

TUE News publishes elsewhere ii
this issue two communications one
from j NJ. Kennedy of Marlin editor
of the Marlin Democrat and the
other from a Hogg man at Ross he
was delegate to the county conven'
ton Saturday. Mr.. Kennedy takes
exceptions to the statement of The
News that Hogg called time on
Judge Clark too soon, but admits that
he did call time, offering his watch as
evidence that the governor was right.
He lays great stress on the action of
Gov. Hogg when he announced
to the audience that Judge
Clark could have all the time he
wanted. Mr.. Kennedy thinks this was
very magnanimous in the governor,
but the fact is in his anxiety to cut
Clarks rejoinder short ne had uninten.
tionally created the impression that he
was smarting under the terrible ar
raigpment Of his official conduct and
his apparent magnannmmity was evil
IDENTIFY prompted by desire to coun.
teract that impression. THE News
is lot and never has attacked Gov.
Hogg' character as man and it chal-
lenges Mr.. Kennedy to point to
single utterance in the columns of
OF this paper alluding to
tie governors private character in
terms of reproach. 1t is his officia
cond"ct THE News araigns and will
continue to arraign. The Confeder-
ate record embarrassment raised
question of veracity between Gov
Hogs and Lieutenant Governor PEN
dleton and there it rests. The pitcher
racket has never been denied before,
and the lie about the low price of cot.
ton beng charged to Gov. Hogg is
told by the Hogg men who assert that
Clark or his friends ever made
it. The assertion that Judge
Clark denounced the people as
fools two years ago, or at any other
time, is false. Judge Clark never ut
tered such a sentiment in his life. As
to the communication from "a Dele
gate" it is published to show how bad
they were beaten Saturday and how
mad some of them were over it.
