CONVENTION NOTES.

Judge Clark was seen in his room
tonight at the Hutchings house bid
ding goodbye to his hundreds of
friends as he was preparing to leave
tomorrow morning. He was asked
for some expression of opinion con-
corning this squally time and his
nomination for governor by the true
Democracy of Texas. In reply he
said: "The movement which resulted
in the nomination of the ticket which
is headed by me was move
ment of the masses of the del
egates who felt that the Democracy
had been outraged by long series of
crimes against its principles. 1t can
hardly be said that il. was led OF
prompted by any one, but that it was
move partaking of the nature of q
spontaneous uprising Of true Demo
Gratis for the vindication of the party.
The platform of principles enunciated
by that convention | regard as, most
admirable. 1t presents in the clear
est and most concise manner the
fundamental principles of the Demo.
cratic party , and that too in a
manner absolutely free from dema-,
goguery and duplicity. The enthusi-
asm and determination displayed by,
the one thousand delegates on the
floor of that convention manifest in
the clearest manner the earnestness
and honesty of all Democrats who
participated therein, These men were
not trifling and were not In a mood to
be trifled with. Evidently they felt
that a great crisis was upon
them and the spirit of patriot.
ism was not surpa ssed by, the
fathers of 1876. / am free to
say that the outlook is most encourag-
ing. believe the principles of true
Democracy, as formulated by that con-
vention, will be triumphantly vindi-
Gated at the polls in November. The
platform of the Hogg faction contains
a strange admixture of socialism and
Third partyism, and is weak and
cowardly surrender of Democratic
principles. In fact it is practically a
condemnation of our national plat
form. 1 do not see how any patriotic
Democrat who understands what De-
mocracy means can afford to supports
or vote for the nominees who stand
on it. 1t ought to be and l believe it
will be rebuked in. a decided manner
by the people when they render their
verdict. -' ....,.',! lI'.'i''
Judge Clark was asked when he
would begin his canvass, and re-
marked when he was retiring: awe
will begin in a few days. 1 feel that
L ought to have some rest and must
take it, There will be no delay, how
ever, in the organization of our cam
paign, and when it is once entered we
will not stop until the polls close in
