DALLAS, Tex, April, 4, 1895.
The agony is oqer, the expiring
breath of the election campaign
has been felt. Frank p. Holland,
OF the Texas Farm and Ranch, is
elected mayor. The campaign, to-
wards its close, waxed warm; at
one time personalities were in
dulged in to such an extent that
the easy going ones were fearful
OF an unpleasant outbreak
among the supporters of the
three leading candidates. Frank
Hollands simple and unosten-
tatious speech Of Monday night,
free from antagonism aud person.
alities, won votes for him. He had
announced to speak at the Union
depot; before his arrival some
1000 persons had assembled. The
Wozencraft-C Conner committee en-
braced the opportunity of apprO-
priating the Holland stand to de.
liver some mastery efforts in be-
half of Mr.. Wozencraft. When Mr..
Holland arrived 1t was with
reluctance that he was per-
mitted to ascend the improvised
stand. The adherents of Wozen-
craft rent the air with heathenish
yells. A committee finally sue
ceeded in quieting the uproar long
enough to listen to Mr.. Hollands
speech. He said: 81 am not fight
ing anybody, / simply ask you for
fair play. / have no animosity
against any OF the candidates. /
have no enemies nor have l any
political friends to reward. l an
nounced to speak here before any
one else did, and / think / should
be allowed to do so. / am not in
this race to defeat any one against
whom i have grudge. l am in
the race simply on my merits and
not on the dement's of Others"
The others had denounced and
villified their opponents.
"Bud" Conner, former mayor,
who served for time after Bryan
II. Barry had been legally elected,
INDUCED in the strongest language
used by any campaigner. But
"Bud's" candidate did not get
there. Allah be praised!
Maude Ballinger Booth, Of Sal
walton Army fame, delivers free
lecture in the First Baptist church
tomorrow afternoon. In the even.
ing she delivers another one in the
auditorium of the city hall. An
admission fee will be charged.
County Treasurer w. n. Coe
has again figured before the
grand jury. He was indicted
by that body for having
bought for the county carload oil
coal, but appropriated half of il
for his own use. 1t was proven in
court, however, that it was just an
oversight on the part OF the Coal
| company's bookkeeper, who charged
the entire load to the county, in.
stead of half OF it, so the court
charged the jury thusly: "the
county attorney, after having adj
vanced the evidence at his COM
mand in this case, states that the
same is insufficient to sustain a
verdict of guilty. In this opinion
the court concurs. You will there
fore render verdict of not guilty"
The jury did as told. Another
blot is removed from the escutch-
con of County Treasurer Coe.
