Joint Debate at TioGa.

Special to the Gazette
TIoGA, GRAYsoN COUNTY, TEX, March
2.-On last night Mr.. c. a. McMeans of
Denton county, an Alliance lecturer and an
advocate of the sub-treasury idea, had an
appointment to deliver public lecture
here. The gentleman arrived about 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, and when the 4:35
south bound train arrived, Col. Tom Brown
of Sherman put in an appearance, and on
meeting MIR. McAdeaus few moments later,
requested a division of time, to which the
gentleman would not agree. However,
after large crowd had gathered at the
school building and the hour for speaking
had arrived, it was agreed that McMeans
should speak as long as he wanted TO, then
Col. Brown should speak rs long as he
wanted to, then McMeans should have all
the time he wanted to reply. McNeans
then said a stereotYped sub-treasury
speech Of one hour and fifteen minutes.
whereupon Col Brown proceeded in very
courtly manner to utterly demolisn the
gentleman and his arguments, showing con-
clusively the falsity of his scheme. He
spoke about one hour and fifteen minutes,
to the delight and amusement of the audi
ence. McMeaus, in u very feeble way,
tried to answer Col Brown.

SWEET MARIE
Says She Loves Her Son
Quite as Well
AS BLAINE LOVES A GRANDSON
And for That Reason, as the Boys Mother,
Great as Blaine Is
He Cannot Asperse the Boys Mother.
She Will Teach the Great Secre-
tary to Regret It if He Don't
Publish Those letter.
AS BLAINE LOVES A GRANDSON

CHICAGO, Ill, March 3.-Some pungent
utterances were given voice here to-day by
Mrs. Marie Nevins-Blaine in relation to the
open letter she wrote the secretary of state.
Mrs. Blaine is in Chicago en- route to New
York accompanied by her little son,
James G. She is pale, but stated
except for the nervous strain Of the events
of the past year her health is good. Re-
garding the letter, Mrs. Blaine said: Il
allowed Blaine ten days in which to tell the
whole truth about the treatment given me
by his family and in which
to retract the statement that It
was I, and not his son, that did the court
ing before marriage. Blaine gave to the
public garbled extracts from my letters to
his SON These convey an untruthful. unjust
idea respecting me. If Blaine does not
within ten days publish the full texts of my
letters 1 will give 10 the public the
letters which his son wrote to me
before marriage and which prove
conclusively who was the wooer. Great
as Blaine is, he cannot and viii not DO al
lowed TO asperse my character with impu-
nifty and without rejoinder on my part.
If he persists in attacks on
me l will teach him to regret it.
He set up love for his grandson
as an excuse for his attempt to besmirch
me- 1 love the child, my son, quite as
much as Blaine can love him as grandson,
and for that reason it IS my duty TO see
that his mother does not rest under a false
charge unanswered."i

Harrison Gets Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 3.-Through-
out Indiana to-day the Republican district
conventions weIe held to select delegates TO
the Minneapolis convention. In
every district Harrison delegates
were chosen and instructions for the re-
nomination of the president given. In the
Twelfth Fort Wayne) district the Allen
county delegates left the convention and
adopted resolutions repudiating its action.
WHAT CAUSED IT.
A bitter fight was made in the Twelfth
congressional convention that met at
Auburn to-day, which finally resulted
in the withdrawal of the delegation from
Allen county, which is much the largest
county in the district. The main
fight was over the method
of the apportionment adopted by the state
central committee for the constitution
of the convention. A resolution reciting
the fact that this apportionment
deprived two Republicans of Allen county
of a voice in the convention was Of
fered, but the ultra-Harrison men
voted to lay it on the table.
The votes for delegates resulted:
r. D. Mcdonald (unpledged), 4S; w. L.
Davis Cunpledged). 251Z; Baer, unpledged,
but understood to be Harrison man, and
William L. Penfeld, a pronounced Harrison
man, 81. A protest was then offered by
Allen county against the basis of represen-
tation and the results reached under it,
and upon refusal of the convention to
treat it respectfully, the delegation
from that county Withdrew from the con-
Vention giving notice that the protest
would be carried up to the convention in
Minneapolis and to the polls in November

denounced the cores pondent of the Atlanta

DALLAS, TEX, March 3.-Notices were
scattered on the streets to-day calling ION
all Democrats who want to turn Texas
loose and let her grow, and who favor
George Clark for governor, to meet at
the city hall tonight at o'clock
to organize a campaign club"
The meeting is in full progress
tonight with large attendance. and is
dressed by w. H. Pope, Seth Shepard,
Dudley G. Wooten, Ed Bower, Bryan T.
Barry, and the sentiment of the speakers
seem to be that Governor Hogg
is responsible for nearly all our
ills-in fact, that his admins
tration has been the most disastrous of any
administration Texas ever had. They
claimed that Governor Hogg's course in
wanting to lend the children's money to the
very men he wanted to put the stripes on
was certainly very inconsistent.

A Pretty Night.
Special to the Gazette.

BAsTRoP, TEX, March 3-There is con-
siderable speculation in Savers and Moore's
congressional districts in regard to how
the reapportionment will affect their re-
spective chances and strength during the
next race. From all indications Bastrop
county viii be thrown with Fayette county
in the same congressional district, Con-
gresham Moore's home and political castle
being in FayeIte county and Savers in
BasJrop From the "straws in the wind'
your correspondent predicts that the fight
which would occur if Sayers and Moore are
thrown in the same district may possibly
be complicated, Senator Garwood's sena-
torial district being composed partly of
Sawyers' and partly of Moores district and
his friends will make an effort to induce
Judge Garwood to enter the race for con-
gress. Judge Garwood's well recognized
ability, his rare attachments and his intense
popularity would make him very formida-
bic opponent. He was the nominee of the
last Democratic senatorial convention by
unanimous vote, and his strength was so
well conceded that he had no opposition
which heretofore was considered a doubt
FIJI Democratic district. With Judge Gar
wood, Joseph D. Sayers and Lytt Moore
in the race, you can expect to see a fight
unequaled even by the Hare and Bailey
contest.

Futures-Our cables to-day say the adj
vance Of 2-64 to 3-64 in Liverpool, one Of
which was lost by the closing, was due to
jobbers manipulating March and April
Spot sales were 5000 bales. Our impression
is that the market there tomorrow will be
lower, as there has been nothing in the city
to-day to give any encouragement for Liv-
erpooL- We close about one point better than
last night on near months and New York
closes about at yesterdays prices. The
market is apparently waiting for New
York. Those who are long now
are indisposed to buy more,
whereas the short interest IS largely pro-
tected by actual cotton and therefore is not
an interest easily alarmed.
Port receipts to-day are 10000 bales,
against 10000 bales this day last year.
The estimate here for tomorrow is COCO
bales, against IL, 600 bales at all ports last
year.
The weeks port receipts will
probably be about 10000 bales,
or slightly more than those of last year,
which were III, eco. The interior
stocks are not losing much, conse-
quently the amount coming into sight
TO be reported tomorrow will

same last year A change must soon come
