DALLAS, TEX, Sept. SOL. E. =,

Weatherford, Parker county, to-nipht,
with G. S. Flanney and other ger ,le-
men, to hear the speaking. Jeb WIS a
Third party man until General Weaycr
was nominated, when he returned 70
his first love. Jeb also isprophetic and

Clark, 800 Mr.. Flanney say Jp5
lively that Judge Clark viii not ohiall
more than 800 votes in the COUNT.
JUDGE OTIS EATON
who is one OF Judge Clarks staunuhest
supporters, returned to-day from
Central Texas where he made eegef-l
speeches in the rural district he
says that all through that section there
is II landslide in favor OF the Waco
statesman, and that Hogg cholera ia
alarmingly fatal in Brazos, Robertgnn,
Freestone and Navarro c1untios
Judge Eaton is assured that the iatiar
county win go for Nugent, but pre-
diets Clark's election a ioregune cons
clusion. This is the prediction Of opa
the hardest hitters on Die Clark
side Of the fight.
JAMES SCOTT, A LABOR LEADER
here is pulling for Col. Jerome c..
Kearby for congress, alleging that
Judge Abbott voted against the eight
hour law. Scott processes 10 be Demo-
crat, but declares that "he is not for
joe Abbott is solid in the country
precincts, according 70 the most trust
worthy advices received and the disaf-
lection applies solely to the city of Dali
las, where a man is aSimon-pure Demo-
crat one year and reformer with
big X the next. There Is no disglts-
ing the fact that the more intense
Clark men are putting the knife into
Judge Abbott with a fiendishness that
would evoke a grunt of approval from
an Apache warrior. The defeat II
George Aldredge rests heavily upon
their stomachs.
THERE ARE GENTLEMEN
in this city whose admiration for HOgg
is so strong that they could eat him.
George @. Cole found one to-day.
George was one OF the committee on
barbecue and rally and OF course made
the rounds of the city to obtain funds 10
liquidale the expense attached
thereto. George called on an erst-
while prominent Democrat and
struck him for donation II will give
you 500 II you will barbecue Hogg and
I'll agree to eat a piece Of him in the
bargain" remarked the gentleman.
George fed. The unparalleled gener
osity Of the gentleman made load toe
hard for him to bear.
COLONEL c. E, GILBERT,
chairman of the committee on invita-.
ton and reception, reports that all ar
engagements are perfected and that Gov
ernor Hogg and Senator Coke are Ger.
tain 10 meet with most enthusiastic
reception. Colonel Gilbert says that
John ireland finds it impossible to at
tend the meeting. Other well-knowr
gentlemen, however, will be present Il
assist Hogg and Coke.
JUDGE JAMES HURT,
of the court Of appeals is in the city
| He is 'agin Jim Hogg,' denouncinl
him in scathing terms and doing wha'
he, can to knock him out. 1.-THE Two
Jims OF Texas" carry around big jag
OF contempt for each other
1t is also pretty generally
understood that the Judge
does not cast mellow and Judicial
smile upon certain Democrats running
| for county offices. But being on the
bench, he never drags the ermine into
the miro OF politics and no speeches will
be heard from him this year.

Jake Hodges, Of Paris, and Judge
Bramlette, of the Office of the land COM
