THE HENGLISH-OAX.

Governor Hogg seems to be in per.
feet fury against all foreigners. One
would think in listening to his
speeches that acknowledgement was
again rampant In the land. He espec-
tally loves to initiate the cockney by
speaking of "Hipgland."
An ingenious newspaper man per.
petrated rather rich hoax on an Eng
lishman who visited this country.
The facetious newspaper made him
write as follows:
"Hon. Marion Martin, a prosperous
farmer over in America, has been
elected supreme ruler of congress and
New York city. He was opposed by
Bill Farmer and Benjamin Harrison.
the latter noted dealer in hard cider
and stories of his grandfather. Mr..
Farmer was the Republican and
female suffrage fusion candidate.
Grover Cleveland was elected mayor
OF Dallas county, Texas, and General
l.. 5. Ross has been appointed com
nlander-in- chief of the American
v', NV ooluoy OlUDS, VINO mas
moved to Mexico to enter the real
estate business"
The governor bit at the hoax and
has been telling it as all actual fact
all over the state.
Inc author is a very bright news
paper man who has often delighted
Texas with his droll wit. 1t is strange
that the governor did not appreciate
the fact that an Englishman who had
money enough to pay his way over
here and sense enough to find it
would not be so ignorant. Then again
any man of common PERCEPTION would
see the wit in the opposite use of the
names.
He must certainly have known it
was hoax, but used it to show his
contempt for all foreigners.

Special to The Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, Oct. 19.-The exam

Albert Mckay, Lafayette Bryan,
Martin Hill and Claude Lof1in, charged
with the murder of Sheriff Olive at
Echo, in Bell county on the 18th OF
September of this year, is being con-
Quoted in Judge Sterns' court here.
Some seven or eight witnesses have
b en- examined, and quite number
are yet to be examined. The testi-
mony so far shows that Mr.. Olive
had some two years ago killed two OF
the Armstrong brothers and that bad
feeling existed between the defend.
ants and Olive. That Olive and all
the parties defendants were attending
the fair. The witness Quinan testi-
fed that he heard the Armstrong;
say to defendant Bryan "There gOep
the man." referring to Olive, that 1
have been looking for tor ten years
and he shall never leave this county,"
The conversation occurred on Friday
at Bolton before the shooting on
Saturday night. Mr.. John 4. Rankin
who was with Sheriff Olive when he
was shot, said that when the train
reached Echo from Bolton he and Olive
alighted. He saw three men on the
platform, one of whom he recognized
as Moot Armstrong; that shortly after
wards Olive was shot by some one
standing near the end of the platform;
that he and Olive emptied their pis-
tolls at the fleeing assassin. The court
room is crowded to its greatest capac-
ity, and much interest is manifested
as Mr.. Olive was one of the most pop
ular men in this county.

LITTLE NANCY HANKS.
She Trots Fast Mile Under Circumstances
Decidedly Unfavorable.

NASHVILLE, Oct. bat day break
dark clouds hung over the city and
rain fell until 8 a. M. 1t was 2 O'clock
before bright sunshine was assured
In consequence the track was trifie
heavy and the air not favorable for
record breaking. 1t was nearly 5 p.
m. before Nancy Hanks appeared for
her tilt against time, and as the sun
had fallen below the surrounding hills
the atmosphere was raw and damp.
Under such conditions good judges
placed 2:06 as the best that could be
expected, but once more the little
mare was equal to an unexpected
performance. Going away at the first
attempt the quarter was reached in

BE VIGILANr AND WATCHFUL.

BE VIGILANP AND WATCHFUL.
From this morning until the polls
close ON the 9Th day of November 1t IL
the duty of the friends and advocates
of the election of George Clark and
the ticket he heads TO be vigilant and
watchful.
Look to what your enemies are
doing, scan their line of battle with
the strongest glasses. Everything in
dictates that some of the Hoggites
have nefarious political designs in
preparation to spring too late to be
corrected.
Governor Hogg himself did not hes
itate to give publicity to a rumor that
Nugent would Withdraw. His
organ The Post, without authority
gave circulation to the false statement
that Clark and Nugent would have
conference to consider which should
withdraw.
False statements are circulated by
the opponents of George Clark as nu-
merous as the army of Xerxes or the
locusts of Egypt. Be OH your guard.
Do not believe Clark will withdraw
even If you see it over his own sigma
ture, if you do it will be forgery.
Be ready at any moment to investi-
gate any statement emanating from
the opposition and use the telegraph
to nail political falsehoods to the
counter
1t is apprehended that on the very
morning of the election there may be
issued circular over Clark's signature
Withdrawing him from the canvass.
Do not believe word of it. 1t will
be the trick of desperate men whose
political ethics warrant them in the
idea that everything is fair in political
warfare.
The STATESMAN does not believe
that Governor Hogg or large major
ity of his supporters would counten-
ance any such methods, but there are
men supporting Hogg who would re-
sort to any methods to defeat George
Clark. Do not let any rulnor induce
you to abandon your support of the
Clark ticket up to the very moment of
the closing of the polls.
Men of Texas, you are fighting for
your firesides and your homes. You
are fighting to rescue your fellow citi-
zens from financial ruin, for I
good government. Work on from
this moment, and on the morning
Of the 9Th of November, let every
Clark man be up with the sun, close {
your stores, your shops and your Of
fees that day and work as never mon
worked before for the success of the
ticket. Men of the cities be at the .
polls early; men Of the country be in
the saddle by the crack of day and let
us all put in such days work as has
never been done before in Texas.
Rouse the Indifferent, animate tn
hunt up the "too busy
man" and get him to the polls. See
that every vote for Clark that can
possibly be obtained by fair means is
placed in the ballot box. Go at it in
for it is the most important
business you ever had in your life and
never rest until the polls are closed.
II you do this Clark will be governor
Of Texas and all the prosperity that
his election means will follow as GER
tainly as the day follows the night.

the woman's suffrage platform for the
presidency of the United States.
so far she has been more modest
than all the other candidates for the
same position and has made no
speeches, but "alle same" she has
been interviewed. She declares with a
good deal of truth that lit is, in many
respects, the married woman who
remains the slave today, for she de-
ponds on the pittance doled out grud-
gingly by the lord of the castle, her
husband, who lied when he declared
at the altar with all my worldly

her with nothing but the privilege of
experimenting his servants and the
rearing of his babies. There are
