Houston, Tex. Aug l6.-The Democratic State
Convention TO nominate State ticket was called
to order here at IL o'clock to-day by w. w.
Finley. chairman Of the State Committee. Three
hundred delegates were present. Finley's opening
speech, devoted to National policy, fell tat. for
the delegates bad only one thing in view-to nom
mate or to slaughter Hogg. Judge Sheppard; Of
Camp County, was nominated for temporary chair
man by the Hogs men, and johnson Lanes Of
Lafayette, by the Clark men. Chairman Finley
ordered the secretary to call the roll by coundes
Ex-senator Mattock moved that the vote on
election Of chairman be taken viva voice. Chair
man Finley ruled this out Of order and then
storm of indignation broke out Hundreds Of
delegates were on their feet wildly gesticulating
and cndeavoring to secure recognition, while the
thousands in the hall were bowling like dervishes
Bedlam reigned supreme. Through the din Of
voices Mattoek appealed from the decision Of the
chair with stoical indifference. Finley refused to
entertain the appeal. and ordered the secretary to
proceed with the rol-call. Many Clark counties
refused to vote, and the call by counties showed
that Sheppard was overwhelmingly elected.
Just ~ the result was being announced, ex-
Senator Mattock jumped on chair and declared
that the minority had been bulldozed. The chair
had he said, violated all parliamentary law and
custom, and he asked all those who favored the
election Of Lane for temporary chairman to sig
