Tyler is the headquarters, the jowl-
town, so to speak, for Hogg's cam
paign. Rumor has it that some of
Hogg's lieutenants want to be cap
tains and the captains want the lieu
tenants to "Stay whar dey is" and
that the Hogg machine is sadly in
need of repairs. The following from
the Record is excellent circumstancial
evidence that the rumor is based upon
facts
"There are some of the smartest
politicians in Tyler on earth. The
only trouble with a real, genuine
smart POLITICAL is the fact that, while
he is thoroughly posted, knows all his
political enemy's weak points, can tell
you precisely how to knock EN- out,
yet never aocomplishes anything ex-
cept to relieve his overcharged giz.
card of wonderful amount of gall
aud gas. Blessed are the men whC

run.

NEW yoBE'S CANDIDATE.

|
The action of the New York State
Democratic convention at Albany yes
terday was exactly what was expected
The endorsement of Hill by the mach.
iue was foregone conclusion. 1t could
have been accomplished with much
more force two months later but that
would not have served the purpose of
Mr.. Hill. His object was to get an
expression from New York in advance
of any other state and with the cry
that to win the Democracy must let
New York name the candidate, he
hoped to browbeat the other 43 states
into following suit. One little act of
Hills, however, will prevent Texas
from sending Hill delegates to Chicago
even if there were NJ
other objections to the
Tammany candidate. 1t was his in
reference in the speakership fight
which had more to do, perhaps, than
any other influence with the defeat Of
II @ Mills. Representative Stahl-
necker, of New York, had been voting
steadily for the Texan until Monday
he received telegram from Hill to
'quit voting for Mills, that New York
was against Mills" He voted for
Crisp on the next ballot, broke the
dead lock and in the rush from the
other candidates Crisp got small ma
jority. Every we'll informed Texan
knows what it was done for. Mills
was the leading exponent and the
embodiment of the great tariff
reform idea in the De
mocratic party. Mills elevation
to the speaker meant an aggres-
sive fight on that issue not only in
congress but in the next campaign.
Hill knew that upon progressive
tariff reform platform he stood no
show whatever of getting the nomina-
ton but believed Mr.. Cleveland would
be chosen as the logical candidate, and
rather than see the party choose his
New York rival again to lead the
Democratic hosts he lent his every
effort 10 strike down the great Texan
aad bury with him the principles of
his party. Texas has a noble duty to
perform. 1t is to send solid delega-
tiou to Chicago instructed against
the man who defeated her candidate
for speaker and to strive untaltering.
ly for the restoration of the inscrip-
ton Tariff for Revenue only on the
party banner and for the nomination
of some brave honest Democrat who
will fight for that principle.

The real estate men are feeling very
much encouraged justnow. They are
not selling great deal of property
but they are having great many in
quiries. 1t is true that inquiries don't
pay very large commissions but it
costs very little to answer them.
Some of our real estate men say Waco
is on the precipice of great boom.
The building of natatoriums and san
itariums is attracting a great deal of
attention now and many predict that
these will make Waco the best city in

The Shock of the Amputation Too
Much in His Weak State.
Conductor Thomas Nolan died early yes
terday morning at St. Joseph's infirmary
from the effects Of the injuries he received
at Walthourville.
His feet were amputated on Tuesday
night, he having braced up under the effects
of stimulants sufficiently to permit of the
operation, which was absolutely necessary.
After the first shock he seemed to improve
and there was hope that he would recover.
Toward morning, though, he began to sink
and shortly after daybreak he died.
The body was removed to his late home
on Charlton street near Hsbersham. The
funeral will take place this morning at 10
O'Clock from the cathedral.
Mr.. Nolan was 81 years old. He was born
and reared in Savannah. He was a man Of
a most genial nature and had friends all
over the city. He was a letter carrier for
q long time, but was compelled to leave the
service on account Of sickness. He subse-
quently took TO railroading, entering the
service of the Savannah. Florida and West
ern, with which he had been for six years.
He was regarded al one Of the most reliable
conductors in the employ of the road aud
general regret is expressed among his fello W
employees at his sudden death.

toned:
l. To take action in relation to the applca-
ton on the part OF three members in Indian

2 To make Investigation OF the affairs OF the

TIE MILLEN CASE.
So Far the Proceedings Are Dull and
Embarrassing.

so Far the Proceedings Are Dull and
Uninteressin9.
The Millen land case is still dragging its
slow length in the superior court Yester-
day was devoted almost entirely TO docu-
mentary evidence, and the monotonous
proceedings were rather tiresome to the
spectators.
City Engineer Winn was put on the stand
at the opening Of the court.
He identified the Vincent map as the Oldest
map in the city engineers oiEice showing
this land, and stated that that map showed
the property as the property OF Mr.. Prem
dergast. Col VIM also testified that since
he has been a resident of Savannah, eight
or ten years, he has known the tract as the
Preudergast property. He has seen the
Prendergasts exercising authority over she
land, and has laid out the streets Of she city
through the piece OF land known as the Prem
dergast property. Houses have been erected
by Maj. Brooks. Maj. RyaIs and Mrs.
Prendergast. As far as he knew, the Prem
dergasts' possession had never been inter
fered with.
The plaintiffs introduced a certified copy
Of proceedings of distribution OF estate Of
John Millen, Dec. %, 1874; then the deed
from George D. Millen to Jacob Waldburg
and Cornelia NJ. Millen, in trust for certain
purposes. of the property in controversy,
which property had fallen to the share OF
George u. Millep.
At the afternoon session interrogatory tes-
timony was introduced to show that the
plaintiff had never agreed to relinquish
claim to the property.

members Of the board present, Chairman
W alker and Commissioners Melnhard and

An order was passed to borrow sufficient
money to meet the county's demands
About $50, 900 will be required for this.
County Attorney Saussy reported that he
had written the attorney general on the
question of getting a bill passed by the next
legislature to allow Chatham county to use
its five-year oonvicts. and had been in
formed by that official that such bill can
hardly become a law, as it would conflict
with the leases.

Mr.. Smith moved the appointments of a
campaign committee to take charge of the
campaign and collect a campaign fund l..
Such fund was absolutely necessary for
the conduct OF the campaign, he said. Con-
tributions would have to be made by the
individual members of the party. he said, as
they had no corporations 10 assess.
On MIR. Smiths motion a committee OF
one member each from Bulloch, Tattnall,
Emanuel, Scrivsn and Liberty, and two

SMITH ON wATsoN's BOOK.
Last night there was a rally of the party
at Turner hall. Nearly all the delegates to
the convention and probably score of
Others, mainly democrats out for amuse-
ment, were present. Enthusiasm was at q
low ebb and even ardent praise of Wetson's
book by Mr.. Smith failed to provoke any
thing more than slight shutf1ing of the
feet of a few delegates. The mass meeting
had weary look throughout.
MIR. Smith said that Watson's book was
the greatest work OF the age. 1t was a vol
ume that was only surpassed In the infor-
nation 1t contained by the Congressional
Record. 1t was evident from the speakers
tone that he regarded it as being not very
for behind that official record of the brain
work of all the members of congress, includ-
ing Mr.. Watson. He had a copy OF the
book and held IL up in full view of the dele
gates and Chathaua's redoubtable third
party for many minutes.
Speeches we're made by other delegates,
and the campaign in the First was fairly
launched when the meeting came to CLOSE.
