Palestine, Tex, Oct s.--Judge Nu-
gent spoke here today to very fair
audience. the larger portion of which
was composed OF negroes. His speech
was strong one and commanded close
attention. He had but little to say
relating to state affairs. but the bur
den of his speech related to those ques-
lions and principles on which his party
is founded. He stated in an interview
with the News man that he was not
a political prophet. and could form no
estimate OF the ultimate outcome OF his
canvass. but he was assured Of one
fact, and that Is II the Democrats win.
It will be by such a slim majority
that they will never forget It. He
speaks in Taylor tomorrow night.

Hilsboro, Tex, Oct. 9.-The speech of
Senator II. @. Mills was the main fea-
ture of the opening day Of the Elm
county fair. The senator arrived last
night and would have met with an
enthusiastic reception but for the fact
that he was not expected and was not
due to arrive until tins morning. Dur
ing the forenoon he was called upon
by a good number of leading Demo-
Gratis Of the county, and among those
who sought to show him respect and
esteem there was no distinction with
reference To- individual views upon the
silver question. The senator went 10
the fair grounds early in the day and
manifested great interest in the eN-
hibits and racing. II was about
o'clock when, as the opening event OF
the fair, he was introduced by l.. A.
Carlton, ESQ, and proceeded to address
.he assembled audience upon the polit-
cal issues of the day. The grand stand
was crowded and there We're probably
200 persons present. including a large
proportion of ladies and n very small
number of Popllsts. The senator de-
voted the first portion OF his speech
to an exposition of the principles upon
which the president acted In sending
troops to suppress the interference with
interstate commerce ana the trhhspor-
tation of the mails during the recent
Pullman strike, ard he ably cham
pioned the policy OF the national ad-
ministratlon in that great crisis. He
then branched upon the silver question
and defended the recommendation of
the president and the action of con-
gress with reference to the repeal OF
the purchasing clause of the sherman
law. He referred to the unanimous
vote of the Democrats in congress
against the original enactment OF the
Sherman law, and on this line made
about the same arguments as he has
used In other speeches on this subject,
The senator was especially happy IN
his arguments and Illustrations in ex-
posing the fallacies and vagaries OF
the Populists and he handled that ele-
ment OF the body polite without
gloves. His remarks throughout elicit
| ed hearty applause and were heartily
enjoyed by the great mass of Demo-
| Gratis present.

Reason.-rera. and raeIne Case In
the supreme Court. ..-..,.a

Washington, Oct. 9.--It seems that the
lengthy litigation between the United
States and Texas over Greer county
is reaching time OF trial. 1t has all
along been understood that the case
would be argued at the fall term OF
supreme court but Of late nothing has
been heard OF 1t and another postpone
ment seemed probable, All OF the de-
lay up to this time has been caused by
the government. So when Mr. Edgar
Allen, the special attorney OF the
United States came into the court to-
day and submitted motion TO fix n
day for argument 1t was practically
an announcement OF readiness for trial.
In the case OF John d. Mayfeld ct al.
vs.. NJ. Il. Malta in error to the circuit
court for the Northern district OF Texas
judgment was reversed at the cost OF
the plaintim per stipulation, and the
cause remanded to be proceeded In
according to law. Case OF Texas and
