DEMOCRATIC PRES OPINIONS.

What the Texas Papers Are s aging
About che SITUATION Tn the state.
Fort Worth GaZ stte.-In seating
the regular Tarrsnt delegation, the
HOgg convsn ton left no ground for
the candidates of the boilers in this
county to stand upon. Messrs. Finger
and Maddox will, of course, clear the
track for the democratic nUmIn ees.
Velasco WorId.-Judge Clark has
been nomiDaIed by the rue democra-
cy, and there is 10 doubt II that bss-
tard progeny of Hogg's political rape,
the Third party, does not 60 back to
the Hogg fold George Clark will be
the next governor of Texas.
Bonham News.-The News regrets
that the split occurred in the demo
cratic party at Houston. The dissat-
isfied faction was hopelessly in the
minority and had NO cause to excuse
IL for its course in boiling. Judge
Clark's supporters in Bonham, with
whom the News man has talked, gen.
orally .eondemn the action of the
boiling faction at Houston. Judge
Clark's following will be small, but it
will serve to keep up strife and dis
'cOru IN Tie party.

more steady hands. ought to have
guided the ship. The evil we fear is
,irrepsrsble.
Orange Tribune.-It can now be
seen what Clark meant by being in
the fight to Q finish. He meant that
as the democratic party OF Texas did
not want him for governor, he would
.demolish or finish up the party, so
that some other party might eject q
governor, but then George Warwick
will fail in this as he did when he
tried to ruin the party by attempting
to introduce the"Heart OF Oak" plank
in the platform after the prohibition
smpaign. The democratic party in
Texas is loo grand aud great to be
ruined by little thing like CLARK or
his hen chmen.
Corpus Caller.-Out Of 945 accredited
voters, however, more than $50 of
them remained in the Hogg column
This constituted large majority and
it was far more than two-thirds of
this majority that nominated James
Stephen Hogg for governor of Texas.
Thus did the people speak, and for
Shis reason we accept the verdict.
Some of the rulings in the convention
were arbitrary and without precedent,
but the majority accepted them and
we bow to the will of the people.
Texas Farmer.-The democratic
state convention met in Houston,
August Is. The rule or ruin" policy
WAS adopted by q portion of the Clark
faction, which resulted in their bolt
ing the regular convention. AS q
consequence there are in session at
this writing two bodies-one the
democratic state convention; the
other, the Clark boilers, The more
conservative element, however, of the
Clark delegates remained In the reg
ulsr conven ton.
Abilene Reporter.-It had been
better, perhaps, If the leaders of the
Observation-Disclosures forces at Houston
had serenely but infiexibly refused TO
participate even tentatively and pro-
visioDslly in the initiatory stages of
organizing q single and common cor
vention. All the antecedents and cir

the whole machinery OF the so-cslled
democratic organization of Texas as
constituted and worked for the past
two years, had been arranged to alb

For uncontested opposition delegates
TO have finally gone in by the scant
grace of cut and dried programme
would have been to assist in their own
fEeordained humiliation.
