McDANIELS PICNIC.
A Large Crowd, Plenty 10 Eat, Candi-
date Speaking and General
Good Time.

What was intended to be only local
picnic at McDaniels last Saturday turned
out to be quite big affair, owing to it's
extensive advertising. The crowd was
large and there were people there from
all sections of this county and from
Grayson. No better evidence as 10 the
value OF advertising in the News can be
given than the gathering at this picnic
last Saturday.
The management was not taken by
surprise, however, for they expected a
big crowd and were fully prepared to ac-
commodate it. There was plenty to eat
and that OF the very best. No one
knows how TO get up picnic dinner bet
ter than Mrs. William Glasscock II
was the general expression Of all who
partook OF the dinner that it was the
best they ever ate on a picnic ground.
The county candidates were present
and spoke in the afternoon. Judge Muir
ray, Democratic nominee for County
Judge, lead off and made one of the best
speeches of his life. 1t was full OF DEM
ocracy. He told the Democrats of that
district some truths which il they will
but heed and study will do them good
The Judge has faith in Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Carlisle and has no patience
with Democrats who are setting up a
howl against them and the leaders at
Washington. The banner of Demo
cracy is safe in the hands of Judge Muir
ray and is sure to be planted VIGOROUSLY
in November.
Capt. Ali followed Mr. Murray. He
merely announced his candidacy as the
Republican nominee for County Judge.
Judge Board and Carlt Richardson
both made short speeches. They said in
the absence of ther opponents it was not
necessary for them to make any extend
ed remarks.
V. b. Burton was present and said
that he was just back from Lebanon
where he had been attending the Re-
say to the people of his native county
that Dave Murray would carry Marion
county anywhere from 600 to 1900
majority. He said he was no Democrat
and he know there was no chance for a
Republican to be sent from the Fourth
district. That Dave Murray was his
friend and countyman and he felt
personal interest in his behalf. lie urged
his home people to stand by him. He
thought from what he had heard in the
upper end of the District that his chances
were good for the nomination. lie urged
his home people to come out as one man
and support him. With big vote at
home he thought his election sure.
Following this announcement Mr..
Burton took occasion to roast the Demo-
cratic party for their actions in Congress
and failure, as he claimed, to carry out
any part Of their Chicago platform. Mr..
Burton got loaded, we think, up at Lee
banon and took advantage Of the occasion
to let II oil.
McDaniels is the headquarters for the
Populists in this county. 1t is the only
precinct in the county where they seem
to be alive and are keeping up their or
ganization. Mr.. w. 7. Cannon, the
leader, says they will not put out coun-
ty ticket and will vote as they please be-
tween the two old parties. He has it in
for Capt. ALL, for County Judge, and
Judge Board, for Attorney. He an
nounces publicly that the Populist vote
will be cast against these gentlemen, if
he has any influence with it. Mr.. Can
non has an old grudge against these men
and he says now is his time to get even.
There is more politics in the McDaniels
district than any place we have yet
struck in the county. The populists are
doing most OF the talking. Democrats
are quiet, but they are at work all the
same and claim that they will carry the
district by an increased majority in
Novamber
