THE TWO ADDRESSES.

Last Wednesday morning the exec
utive committee of the Clark follow
ers gave their version of the late
Houston political embroglio; this
morning the Hogg men give their
side. Put the two addresses together
and carefully compare them. Taken
together they will throw great deal
of light on the real status of the pc.
litical condition in Texas, and will
doubtless very far tend to settle your
doubts, if you have any, as to which
side of the Democratic row you should
throw your influence and vote. Note
in the first place that the Clark ad.
dress, in a quite business like way,
begins at the beginning and from that
point reviews the history of events
naturally leading up to the split at
Houston. 1t gives the reasons why the
unprecedented thing of opposing a
governors second term is this year
found so holly existing in Texas. 1t
shows that opposition to Governor
Hogg does not come from captious-
ness but from deep rooted antipathy
to his governmental policy. Begin
ming with such a predicate the Clark
address leads up to and through the
conduct of the Hogg campaign and
sums it up in these two paragraphs:
In many of the pretended Demo-
cratic primaries practically no test of
party fealty was required or applied.
The rules and regulations (which had
governed the party in its primaries
from time immemorial were ruthless
ly and -defiantly set aside, and the
known and acknowledged enemies of
the party were admitted into it's coun-
ellis and allowed to participate in the
selection of candidates and the pro-
mitigation of principles for the party.
AS the result of these and many
other equally disreputable and revo-
lutionary methods, the voice of DEM
ocracy was absolutely stified in many
counties, and Hogg's nomination
made possible.

large per cent of the Hogg delegates
secured their credentials and instruc-
tions to that convention are of such
doubtful propriety as to absolve every
Democrat in Texas from allegiance to |
its action without regard TO anything |
that TRANSFERRED on the floor of the |
Hogg convention, or at the dictation
its masters.
Now how does the Hogg address
treat this history and these charges?
1t cody begins with the following
paragraph and then goes right into
the history of the split at Houston:
Before the meeting of the conven-
ton it had become evident that there
was fixed purpose on the part of
Judge Clark and many of his sup
porters to bring about bolt upon
some cause, real or pretended.
Why was it evident? What signs
we're there of it? Had the Hogg men
mistaken and confused their boltings
n various counties with an intent on
he part of the Clark men? Had they
imposed that fred and stimulated by

The cake walk in Providence last week,

Blaine will not thwart his efforts, but IL
cannot yet be ascertained whether Blaine
will follow Platt's plan Of going away un-

Needless 10 say, the proceedings OF the

Second, that they are using Blaine to
force Harrison of the track. Whether
Blaine knows all that they propose to do

apparently he has promised not to inter

Third, that they will encourage all the
