ton, "the whooper.n The music hall
az the fair grounds, whore the Saen-
gerlost was held, was crowded with
people, the main hall rs well as the
galleries, and shout went up When
Hon. Richard Morgan introduced the
speaker.
A number OF flags were draped about
tho stage 10 the annoyance OF many of
those In the center aisles. Marshal
Joe Record stepped forward to
remove them whom tho gov
ernor, with wave OF the hand,
said, "Nol Do not remove them. II
you do the calamity shrielers will
swear that Anarchist jim HOgg has
trampled upon the glory OF
Texas and tho glory Of the
United Statesn Coy. Hogg
was in rood form and oxcallont voice,
and made what his admirers and sup
porters claim to be the best speech Of
his life He was especially severe on
Judge Clark aud every time he scored
Warwick the audience, mostly made up
Of farmers, screamed with delight.
Tho most dramatic portion OF his
speech was when he paid his respects
to Judge II. +, Mccormick, saying that
gentleman had so far forgot himself IA
20 make II venomOus stump speech from
the bench when common deconcy would
have compelled him 10 have refused Va
try the commission case after having de-
livered an adverse opinion ia lettor
| 10 George A. Knight two years ago.
The governor declared with empha-
sis that II the people Will stand by
him he will sec to Il that Federal
judges will DO KEEP, from encroaching
upon the rights OF the people of Texas,
and the corporations win be controlled.
Again the audience testified approval
by loud and exultant cheers.
Gov. Hogg was listened to with
rapt attention for three hours and
forty minutes. A goodly number Of
| colOred mon. including the most promi-
nent divines in the city, had seats in
the gallery
In nearing the close OF his speech
Governor Ilugg denounced as a base
and malicious falschood the charge
that he had offered large rewnrds FOR
the lynchers Of negroes and small re-
wards for the nssassins Of white men. In
strong language and with considerable
dramatic effect the governor denounced
mobs saying they never attacked the
wealthy and influential criminal, but
always selected for victim
THE POOR DEVIL,
fricndless and poor AS long as he filed
the governors chair, no said, he would
denounce monocracy and offer rewards
TO bring the perpetrators To justice. He
had no sympathy with lawlessness OF
any sort and would never violate his
oath Of Office.
During his speech Governor Hogg
settled another thing. He has no am
bition IN political way and will never
be candidate for office after he steps
down and out OF the Office OF the chief
executive In 1894. He declared, how
ever, with great vehemence
ations and calamity shriekors
until the commission is permanent
fixture and the railroads bow TO the
will Of the people.
More than half the time OF the gov
Ia. ffftaftffr a
tailed account Of the campaign from
the appearance of Hon. George
Clark IN the race for governor down 70
the presedt time. His views on the
commission, on watered stocks, on
county and city bonds, on tho land
question and other planss in the plat
form are In keeping with his utter
ance In the famous wills Point speech.
Gov. Hcgg was KEEP, busy thirty min
ntes after he had finished his speech,
in accepting congratulations and ahak-
ing hands with the people who crowded
upon the stage.
After that came
THE GRAND BARBECUE
where the hunger Of al least 1000
people was nppeased, and there was
mighty little left after the rush was
made.
To THE GAZETTE correspondent
Governor Hogg expressed himself as
being highly pleased with the recep-
ton accorded him to-day. He de-
parted for Denton this evening, and
will speak in that city Monday next
At $3.50 p. IN. AT The fair grounds,
SENATOR COKE SPOKE
His address did not differ IN the main,
from his speeches Of other places He
denounced Clark and his followers as
bolters and enemies Of the Democratic
party and scathingly alluded 70 Judge
Clark us the Inverted lackey Of
corporations which seemed TO strike
his hearers as the proper thing, Sena-

down the Democratic party, and
