governor had then expressed himself
vigorously against lawlessness OF every
kind, and severely condemned Gov
ernor Altgeld for not taking authority
at Chicago. This interference. Gov
ernor Hogg considered. was a severe
reelection upon the ability OF the state
OF Illinois TO keep the peace within Its
limits and thereby maintain the dig
nifty OF Its statehood. Continuing. the
governor had said that nothing OF that
kind would happen in Texas. for he
should be quick 10 use all lawful
means for the prompt repre- sion OF
lawlessness OF any kind Pointing to
the nag then waving over Camp Mnbry
where the conversation was held the
governor declared his loyalty to It with
great vehemenca. Receiver Moore
thinks the governor takes too gloomy
a view Of the situation. II the speech
attributed to him be a correct version
OF his utterances. He Is Inclined TO
believe, however. that the speech YVES
misconstrued, and that there has been
some important omission which has
made the speech susceptible OF an In
depreciation entirely differenet from
what was Intended TO be said by the
governor For Elr. Moore Insists that
The sentiments attributed to Governor
Hogg in this speech are so very differ
ent from his remarks in tho converse
tion alluded to that he finds Il impos-
siblc to reconcile his speech and con-
versatlon. and is satisfied there IS a
missing link somewhere.
