Mexia, Tex Oct. 2l.-(Special)-The
Austin correspondent of the Houston
Post has taken a great interest in the
political situation in this the Seventh
congressional district. From some un-
/. known source the aforesaid correspon-
H dent has discovered that the
a Hon. George e. Pendleton
= has his eagle eye out for the
Il persimmon and he is just now engaged
n in a surreptitlous effort to pull it, We
. are also told by the same authority
Z that. under the chaperonage of Mr..
81 Pendleton. Hon. j. w. Blake was
led to his doom by being placed at the
"A head of the free silver movement and
. the inference is that Mr.. Pendleton took
t. this opportunity to place Mr.. Blake out
"a Of the available list of congressional
N possibilities. In other words Mr.. PEN
& dleton Is adroitly charged with insn-
III cerity and selishness in his support Of
IA Mr. Blake for the craftsmanship of the
= bimetallic committee. 1t Is not true.
tThe writer was among the first to
N gather at the Fort Worth meeting and
lIknows Of Il certainty that MIR. Pendle-
" ton did not suggest the selection of Mr..
Nj Blake. 1t came from an entirely diff
4 ferent source. and being a personal and
political friend of Mr.. Blake Mr.. PEN
< iileton enthusiastically Joined the move
Z. >nent when suggested to him. So far.
[ thoweyer. as that goes, 1t Is immaterlal,
"A nd is only mentioned In the way of re-
clutng the statement, as 1t was evil
ently made to prejudice Mr.. Pendle-
|8on's interests. As to the probable
@3andidacy of Mr.. Pendleton for con-
fBressional honors 1t is not trua that he
t:aIs either secretly or openly a candi-
53 ate All along he has said to those
Eho We're entitled to know, that he
you'd not be candidate for re-elec-
on and whatever may be his faults
ID ypOcracy Is not one of them. With
\ reference to Mr. Blakes availability
PIE writer is In a position to speak with
Home knowledge of how the land lays
V<Ih his district, and especially more than
n 4ne who does not reside in the district.
This district is in favor Of the cleo
UNon OF free and unlimited coinage
nan who had in season and out of
"A oeason favored the restoration of silver
|VMN Its rightful place as one of the
moneys of the constitution. In other
4 words none need apply unless mis- rec
~ DO as an honest and true bimetallist
y spotless, The free silver men are
Wtermined upon that point. FROM ev-
IN county in the district, from every
ENecinct come solicitations for Mr..
Hake to become candidate. He Will
L t&Bt become a candidate but will accept
He nomination II rendered to him, and
xlURm present indications he will have
1Mte opposition or none at all. At
~ rate his friends are avowedly at
N. rk for him and Will leave no Stone
lW turned to secure his nomination and
Icy claim that his well known financial
: |. % economic views make him the
All ongest man in the district to nomi-
te' That he can easily lead the
