DALLAS, TEX, Oct. o. Especial. +
w. II. CLARK, who refused to 20 to
the Turner hall convention at Houston
with the other delegates from Dallas
county, at the conclusion OF Hon. Seth
Shepard's speech last night. seconded
a motion 20 adopt scorching resolutions
denouncing Hon. w. S. Baker for his
Interference in Dallas county politics.
1t Is not definitely known, but Il is sur
missed that Clark win return 70 his first
love Judge Clark.
Bryan j. Barry and Richard Morgan
endorse the removal OF Gillespie. In
fact they advised him 'to resign be-
fore the axe descended. Jesse Strone,
G. b. Gilbert, sam Klein Jot Gunter,
the Gastons and other ultra Hogg
mon defend Col. Baker. aud arc jubi-
liant over the turn affairs have taken.
IL is considered rather singular here
that Cowart was appointed chairman
instead OF Gilbert or Klein, rs they
have borne the brunt OF the battle thus
far. IL Is limited on the streets that tho
axe will fall again one OF these days,
and that Hon. Dudley G.. Wooten,
electorat-large, and II. p. Brown,
district clectOr, will have their names
stricken from the electoral ticket. Many
HpEg men in this county
clumor for their decapitation
on tho ground that they are ire
crcant TO the Democratic party and
are making speeches for Judge
Clark.
"There lisa hon on and don't you for
get 1t, said a Hogg man in discuss
ing the probability OF tho removal
Of these gentlemen from tho ticket to-
night
Judge A. r. Watts and other lead
ing Democrats will address the voters
Of ,Iewella, q suburb Of Dallas, Wcdnes-
day evening, and every effort win be
put forth TO carry that box
Great preparations are going on for
THE GRAND CLARK DEMONSTRATION
in this city on the night OF October 20.
IL is predicted that the torchlight pro
ccssion and Hambeau display will be
the most imposing ever witnessed in
Texas. Many brilliant orators, it is
said win address the multitudes
COLONEL LAFAYETTE FITZHUGH,
Newman and the congressional com
mittee from the Sixth district is conf
dent that Judge 10 Abbott will be
reelected TO congress by largely in
| creased majority Newman and FitZ-
hugh declare that Hill, Ellis, Johnson
and i<Iufman will give Abbott not less
than 5000 majority. He will carry
Bosque and Navarro, from present adj
vices. Dallas county, outside Of the
city Of Dallas, will give the judge $500
majority, and his defeat is u physi-
cal impossibility. These are all
paper maiorities, however, and the
friends and supporters of the judge
should not rest on their oars on account
Of the rosy hue of the political heavens
rs seen through the glasses Of Chair
man Fitzhugh. Col. Hearty is n power
full campaigner and claims TO be just as
good Democrat as old Tom Jefferson
himself. He will poll the solid Re-
publican vote Of the district as a
starter.
One of the most
INTERESTING LOCAL FIGHTS
Now on is that between Colonel Still
well II. Roussel and John =. Gillespie
for the position of county attorney.
Gillespie is the regular Democratic
nominee and is "hoeing his own row, -
irrespective Of the gubernatorial fight,
Gillispie made the race against Colonel
David A. Williams two years ago and
came within an ace Of defeating that
gentleman. He has a great hold
in the country and with
the element that is sometimes referred
TO as 'being stFait-laced" Col Russell
was United States marshal of Texas
under Arthur, and is now a Third
party man. He is making vigorous
canvass.
For county Judge, Hon. Tom Nash,
the regular nominee, put out by both
factions, has opposition in the per-
son Of Judge James II. Blewitt,
who is making his third race for the Of
flee, which is said TO be worth uSl00,0 900
year. The other nominees for county
Offices have no opposition to speak
OF.
The Australian system Of voting is
not looked upon with great favor by
the boys who formerely rustied on cleo
tion days and made the rusting count
every time.
Judge George n. Aldridge made
lively speech at Garland last night.
He confined himself 10 national issues
and appealed TO the voters to support
Cleveland. Stevenson and Abbott.
Hon. N. w. Quincy, collector OF tho
port OF Galveston, viii address tho Re
publicans of this city at the city hall
tomorrow night.
