No OPPOSITION
To Judge Nugent as The nominee for
Governor.

Col. G.. II. jenkins, of Brown
wood, is guest at the Pacific hotel
He is in the city to attend United
States court. The colonel is q
member of the State Central Com
mittee of the Peoples party in
Texas. A News reporter met him
as he was inquiring the route to the
Tabernacle last night, and accom-
panied him to the place of worship.
In a general conversation the colonel
let fall a few remarks that might be
of interest to the readers of The
News.
"What do you think of the har.
mony meeting at Dallas?" he was
asked.
"There is question as to wheth
er it is harmony" replied the col
onel. Some think it is and some
do not.
"Will the Peoples PARTY ranks
receive any converts from the dis
satisfied Democrats?"
II think SO. A great deal de
ponds upon the state convention.
If the Democratic state convention
endorses Grover Cleveland, there
are many Hogg men who will leave
the Democratic party. If it, does
not endorse Grover Cleveland
think some of the Clark men will
drop out"
"Who will be your candidate for
governor
"There will be no opposition t.
Judge Nugent. He will be nomi.
mated when the state convention
meets without q doubt.
"Where will your state conven-
tlon meet?"
''That has not been decided yet.
The placs will be settled by the
central committee, composed of II.
S. p. Ashby, Tom Gaines and my.
self. A meeting has not yet been
called. Waco has asked for it and
l have had some correspo ndence
with your mayor and the president
of the Commercial Club, who wrote
inviting us here"
The Tabernacle was reached at
this juncture and Colonel jenkins
wendell his way through the con.
gregation to front seat.

HOW ABOUT IT.?
Democratic Usage quires a
Two-Thlrds Majority.

D0InOCIhtIC usage hs CURES a
Two-Thirds Majority.
James A Harrison, ESQ, Chair.
man Democratic Committee of
McLennan County.
The conventions of the Demo.
cratic party, including the national
conventions, state conventions in
Texas, and the various conventions
in Texas for the nomination of dis.
trict Ulcers, such as judges, sena.
tors, ETC., have regularly for many
years adhered to the rule
requiring the candidate obtaining
the nomination to receive two.
thirds of the votes of the conven.
ton. Hence, ii may be safely said
that until it shall be abrogated, the
two thirds rule is the established
Democratic rule, aud that no candi-
date ls entitled to recognition as a
nominee of the party unless he shall
have received the requisite two.
thirds VOTE
Your committee, acting for the
Democratic party of McLennan
county, have directed primary
election to be hsld to nominate
candle ates OF the Democratic party
for county and precinc. offices.
You aud your com mittee are well
aware that Notwithstanding the
above mentioned established Demo
cratic usage requiring Democratic
nominees TO receive tn o.thlrds of
the votes of the bodies nominating
in order to declare nominees of the
party, yet in the primary elections
a candi late may be nominated, al.
though he may not receive more
than a tenth of the votes polled in
the primary election.
Now, how can man be a Demo
cratic nominee if he only receives
one tenth or one-eighth of the
Democratic votes, when by estab
llshed Democratic usage two. thirds
of the votes are required to secure
nomination.
Is it possible for small minority
of the Democrats of the county to
dictate to the party its nominees?
And are such pretended nominees
entitled as nominees to the support
of Democrats.
AS the official head of the Demo
cratic party of the county, it is in
cumbent on you and your commit.
tee to seriously consider these ques-
tons. Respectfully,
WILLIAM w. KENDALL.

HOT AT HOLLAND.
Election Irregularities Stir Up
the People Of the Town.

Holland, April s.--The towr
election last Tuesday and the re
turns thereof have caused consider
able excitement on the part of thu
Populists, who met one nigh
previous to the election and named
a full ticket, from mayor down
Everything was smooth sailing fol-
them, as the Democratic vote was
divided between two other candi
dates. The result of the vote is
the Populist candidate received a
majority.
A special meeting of the town
council was called and invitations
given to all officers elect to be
present. The meeting was largely
attended, as it was expected an ir-
regularity in making returns would
test the validity of the election.
The first business taken up was
the election and the returns of same.
and owing to the judges of election
failing to make any duplicate
returns, and having placed all
papers pertaining to the election in
the ballot box, the question was
raised in what manner a lawful
course could be pursued. 1t was
decided to put the judges under
oath and have them testify as to the
manner in which returns were made,
which brought forth the following
They held the election and ninety
votes were cast They began count
ing the votes before the polls were
closed did not count in the pres
ence Of two legal voters of good
repnte; one of the judges failed to
sign the returns; they turned the
ballot box over to the mayor, with
all the tally lists and ballots in it
without the box being fastened up
in any way.
This closed the testimony, after
which Mr.. Douthit, of the Populist
party, asked for recognition to make
a statement, which was granted,
aud he advanced the theory that the
mayor had perfect right to open
the box and declare the result. but
the mayer could not see that he had
any authority to DO so under the
existing laws, snd it wss decided by
the council to not open the box.
This vas followed by another
resolution 10 throw tie box out on
account Of irregularities.
This action seemed TO rile the
Populists, and expressions of
trickery, scheme to thwart the
will of the people, and other like
accusations were freely INDUCED in.
The council hen resolved to place
the ballot bo2 in charge of the mayor
for future reference, and referred
the entire proceedings to the attor.
