IT IS CLARK
TRAVIS COUNTY SPEAKS WITH NO VI
CERTAIN SOUND ON THE COVER 1
WORSHIP.
Clark Will Unquestionably Get Our
Votes in the Great Houston Conven-
tion-The Country ana City Both
Agree on Clark.

will wake up this morning thoroughly
disconsolate. For not only has the
city gone unanimously for Clark with
che exception of the Sixth ward rum
pus) but over two-thirds of thecountry
vote so far heard from is for Clark.
The "Little Giant" has Travis
grabbed.
On the streets all day yesterday
there was the keenest interest in what
was about to happen, and when the
time drew near for the returns to come
in from the country this interest visi-
bly, increased. AS boxes 1t was hardly
hoped Clark would carry were
reported all right, Clark stock went
up high; and when Old Manor
rolled in her IA votes the thing was
grabbed.
The primaries in the city last night,
with two or three exceptions, passed
off very quietly. AS advised in The
STATESMAN, resolutions indorsing
Mccall and Workman were generally
adopted. Land Commissioner Nc
Gaughey was hit almost as hard as
Gov. Hogg. Below will be found an
