DALLAS, TEX, Feb. 27.-The Texas
Farmer for to-day contains letter from
Mr. r. NJ. Higgs of Fort Worth, in which
he denies that he was anything more than
an on-looker in the Windsor hotel confer
ence, which is supposed to have originated
Mr. Clark's candidacy. He says of that
conference and about things generally:
I was in Dallas on private business and
was invited to go up stairs at the Windsor
to attend some meeting to be held. Not
knowing what was on foot l accepted the
invitation and can see nothing wrong in SO
doing. Nothing has been suggested, or is
on foot by any railway officials, or the
Hotel Windsor crowd" offering or max
ing any such proposition. Hence enter
general denial of said article, so far
as trades and arrangements are con-
cerned. 1 would suggest to the gentleman,
too, that he is mistaken if he proposes by
such articles to prejudice the public in the
interest of any faction. Such deliverenceS
ere only campaign rot. 2. am candidate
for the Twenty-third legislature from
Tarrant county by the unanimous
request of 100000 railway employees
in Texas. 1 would say to the gen.
tlemau that I was, no doubt, the man
referred to as explaining balance sheets"
to the brethren in the state When 1 60
on an errand of any kind 1 am paid by the
brethren (the conductors and railway en-
ployes generality. They all generally know
this without any information from any
administration garner. What the rail-
way employees say is: ''Give US a
rest on cutting down freight rates to such
an extent that we will be compelled to
work for such low salaries that farm
hand would be far better off," believe
the public appreciate the services of q
first-class railway employe, who has devoted
his life to said profession He knows moth
ing else. By such course as is now pur-
sued towards the railroads you may force
upon the public cheap, inexperienced rail
road men. The railway companies will be
compelled perhaps through necessity from
scant earning to risk their property IN such
hands, while the public will risk their
lives. If this ruinous business is kept up
we will be forced to seek other vocations in
life. The consequence is, you will have
negro and inferior labor to pilot your cars
through the broad domain of Texas.

Tor my family that can be induced to head

of their constituency The Dallas News
correspondent, Mr.. Bailey was on hand and
came in for some very pointed remarks from
the speaker, l. e., the paper he represented

smile and wrote away. Mr. Finley, when
touching upon the grim determination with
which Governor Hogg has labored to en-
force the law in Texas. grew eloquent. and
was applauded with vigor known only to
East Texas politics. He made reference
10 the animosity against Governor
Hogg for trying to suppress mob
violence in Texas, and told of
the scene at Texarkana recently where the
mob burned the negro at the stake. They
were on the point of executing him on
the Texas side when some one yelled out,

prisoner in Fort Warren, where my ser
vices as railroad attorney, or attorney of
any sort. were far less available than 1
could desire. So you see the statement is
not true as to that particular year. As the
International was not chartered until about
1871, and was not in existence until after
that time as 1 recollect, I could not well
have been its attorney for at least six Of
the eight years mentioned By the News.
The truth OF the matter is, was never the
attorney OF that road, save in two or three
small cases along about 1874, when
was employed to look after
them by the International as
l would have been by any other client need
ing the services Of an attorney. So that is
all the truth there is in the statement you
speak OF. But, if the charge had been cor
rect, l should not have been
ashamed of it. There is no good
reason why an attorney may
not serve railroad as well as another
There IS nothing in that to impeach his
manhood or disqualify him for honest pub
lie service in the interest of all the people.
There are many good men, attorneys in
the service of the railroads who could be
dedended on in puplic stations TO show no
favorltlsm to any class or any
individuals. But there is another class of
railroad lawyers who, not content with
serving clients In court, go into the field of
politics IN their behalf, and try to mold
legislation in their favor, and against the
interests OF the people. There is differ
ence between railroad lawyer and the
political advocate of railway interests"

This morning Judge Clark came down town
and made himself free and easy with the

his law practice. He once lived here
and knows many Parker county citizens.
To The GAZETTE correspondent, while de-
clining to be interviewed, he stated that
Hogg is the man he has to beat. He does
not seem to fear a dark horse.

Judge Clark left at 4:4S this afternoon
and will return at once to Waco, having no
other engagements. He stated to The GA
zETTE correspondent that he had no idea
when nor where he would speak again, as
the plan of his campaign was not yet made
out.
Twenty-one members of the Young Mems

listen to the Waco statesman's speech.
This club is not yet committed to any can

Believing that newspaper correspond
ent, in justice to all parties, should give
facts, uncolored by his personal desires or
feelings, and more especially correspond
ent for THE GAZETTE, which is always
fighting the ''hero worshipers,' l wish to
make statement with reference to your
communication from Denison in to-day's
issue of The GAZETTE. Your correspond
ent says in one article: 'All the commit
teemen present favored the candidacy of
Mr.. Mills" referring of course to the
Democratic executive committee and the
senatorial race. In another article he says:
Leading Democrats rather favor the can
didacy of George Clark of Waco
for governor as opposed to Gov
ernor Hogg." 1 wish to say
that Mr.. W. h. Ledbetter. committeeman
from this precinct, who attended the meet
ing at Denison, told me on his return last
night that, having some spare time, the
committee, for their own amusement, took
a vote on the United States senator and
some did not vote at all, and of those who
did there was one for Chiffon, two for Cul-
berson and the rest for Mills. They then
took a vote for governor and twenty-six
voted, the vote standing thirteen for Hogg
and thirteen for Clark. 1 think this correc-
ton should be made, and that correspond
ents should not hereafter use their privilege
to benefit a favorite by incorrect state
nentS of news items.

that he did not believe the candidacy Of

Governor Hogg was no longer Tyler

taken HIM from US, placed him in the gov

dose, despite the motley crew. that was
aiding George Clark in his efforts to thwart
