Austin In It.

The regatta held in this city last
June certainly did US a world of good
in the way of an advertisement, as has
been demonstrated a number of times
since. Among the last result
heard from this is the following tele-
gram recently sent out from New
York:
"Jake Gaudaur, the sculler, has is
sued challenge to row any man in
America a single scull race for from
$1,000 to $2500, to take place at Austin,
Tex, in eight weeks from eigning ar
ticles, or next spring on any course
agreed upon He further says that If
Tom Sullivan, the champion oarsman
Of New Zealand, accepts, John Croft y
Of Austin will give purse to go with
the stakes, a d Sullivan will be al
lowed expenses here. Gaudaur has
deposited 500 for the purpose of max
ing match"
Inasmuch as the gentlemen OF
Austin are endeavOring to secure an
other regatta for this spring it might
be well for some little attention tC
be paid to this matter, as II
would certainly be drawing card fol
any regatta. 1t seems that our ole
friend Jake is stuck on coming bach
to us. Well, he will be welcome.

HOW Is THIS (!
Governor Hogg Is Going to Help Senator
Coke and vindicats Himself

From what rumors could be gather
ed yesterday in conversation. with
Dallas gentleman, it seems that
Governor Hogg is going to vindica 10
himself in enator Coke's eyes. The
gentleman said that ne had it on
good authority that Governor Hogg
had written Dallas friend of his
that he had been badly abused by
newspapers and politicians in their
assertions TO the effect that he had
gone back on his friend Senator
Coke, and in order to vindicate
himself not only in the
eyes of Senator Coke, but in the eyes
OF the people he would take the stump
in favor of Senator Coke for his old
job in the United States senate. That
he himself wanted no more offices,
but simply desired to see his honor
vindicated and his friend Coke re-
elected. The question now arises who
was that letter sent TO. Wonder if the
mark would be missed very far if Jno
Cochran was named. Speaker Coch-
ran, as is we'll known by this time, has
most ardent desires for gubernatorial
honors, He is great Hogg man
and would therefore very like
ly consult with that gentle.
man before he made any pubic
declarations. Does it not look, on the
face of it, like Governor Hogg, Cock.
ran and Coke had made three corn
cred arrangement of il? The results,
if any, would be, according to the
present status of affairs, Cochran
governor, Coke United states senator
and Governor Hogg, what of him?
Ncthing-he wants nothing. Did he
not tell the cattlemen so Wednesday?
Has he not written it to private
friends, has he not had it in the news
papers? He wants nothing. ) He has
said it and he means it. He has been
known for the past eight years and
even longer to work for his friends
only while he himself was never con-
sidered. Yes he has done that in
the past and why shouldn't he
do it now. Yes, there is no doubt
about it. If Governor Hogg enters
into the political arena for his friend
Coke he will 60 there with no per-
sonal interest no indeed; but if things
don't change nightly from the past
years when Governor Hogg gets
through his little eloctioneering tour
he will have the earth with q fence
around it and Coke, and maybe Coch-
rem too, will be standing on the edge
wistfully wondering why this thus.

Special to the Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, Jan. 12.-At the
close of the first week of the public
school there is an enrolment of 33j
pupils, which is largely in excess OF
any previous record. The faculty is as
follows: Prof. +. p. Leverette, prin.
cipal; Misses Palm, Leverette, Howren
LEVEL, Holbrooke and Mrs Johnston,
assistants. Under the able manage
ment of the present principal the
school has grown wonderfully within
the past two or three years. The
school building was found to be in.
adequate for the needs of the pupils
and the old knitting factory building
on the same block has been rented and
fitted up for the primary department
OnineXt Thursday an election will
be held to determine whether the city
shall assume control CT tile public
school. If the election carries, it
means practically that new public
school building will be erected in the
near future. A mass meeting of citi-
zens will be held in the courthouse on
Saturday night for full and free dis
cussion of the proposed building. The
building now useG for the public school
is \ disgrace to any respectable town
and there is feeling almost universe
in favor of a new, cOmmodious and
modernly constructed public school
building.

FORT WORTH, Jan. Yesterday
evening there was issued by Chairman

To the Members of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Texas:
A meeting of the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee is hereby called
to convene at Dallas, at
II a. m, Feb. 1, 1894, for the purpose
of fixing a time and place for holding
the next Democratic state convention,
if deemed advisable to do so at this
early date, and for the transaction of

harmony between the two parties"
Well, | can only say that we could
harmonic from a standpoint one of
the gentlemen referred to suggests,
that the chairman of the two state
committees be deposed and the com
mittees be united under the general
head of Texas Democracy. 1t is clear
that this course would not remove the
causes of dissension, but would, on
the other hand, further complicate
the situatian. If fact it would result
in having two regularly constituted
state executive committees without
heads. In conclusion | can not an.
ticipate what the 81 members of our
committee will do at Dallas, but of
Que thing am sure, we will be willing
to harmorize upon principle as we see
it.
