the silver plank in Hogg's platform
was to catch the Third party votes
Watch the presidential electors wht

Cleveland. There is danger those
electors will cast their vote for the
Third party ticket.

He made ringing speech of twenty
minutes, and was loudly cheered
throughout and at it's close.
Major Walton then read the follow
ing resolutions, which were most en-
Enthusiastically adopted:
Nc Chairman-Your committee re-
ports as follows:
Whereas, The administration of
James S. Hogg as governor of Texas,
has been disastrous and ruinous to
the material interests of the state
her people and their property-and
Whereas, The platform he now runs
on, proposes to continue and perpetu-
ate his said ruipous policies, and
Whereas, L. is potent, that James
S. Hogg is not a Democrat, and was
not nominated by convention of
Democrats, but by mass of various
isms congregated in the interest of
Governor Hogg,
Whereas, The Democratic conven-
ton that nominated George Clark for
governor represents the true Democ-
racy of Texas as evidenced by it's
platform,
Therefore resolves, That we heart
lily ratify the nomination of George
Clark for governor.
Resolved, That in our opinion the
further continuance in power of James
S. Hogg will not only finally disrupt
the Democratic party of Texas, but
blight the prosperity of the state, and
ruin her people for years to come.
Resolved further, that we heartily
approve the action of our delegates,
who participated in the mocratic
convention that nominated George
Clark for governor. (Signed) w, M.
A. N. Denton, William P.
Gaines, w. M. Brown and B. G. Giles
