AUSTIN LETTER.
State Politics, Appointments, Mex
Legislature, Etc, Discussed.


To the DAILY LIGHT:
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 30, 1894.
Though the meeting OF the Leg
islature is some eight days off,
there are quite number Of the
members of the House lowering
around the Capitol city. A few OF
them are hero for the purpose Of
securing suitable lodgings during
the coming session. There are a
number Of others here, however,
for an entirely different, and to
them decidedly more important
purpose. They are here in short
for the purpose of log roll
ing on the speakership ques-
ton. This matter is being
preached on all sides at
present and discussion thereof
has precedence over all else. AS is
we'll known there are three candi-
dates for this position and they are
all men who can present a fOrmi-
dable following at any and all
times. The three men who pro-
pose to enter into this triangular
fight for the speakership are the
Hons. T. S. Smith, of HillsborO ;
Seth p. Mills, of Waco, and J. r.
Cough. The race now being made
by these three gentlemen is what
is OCcasioning the presence of
80 many members OF the House
in this vicinity in advance Of the
meeting Of the Legislature. There
are here log rolling for their re-
spective candidates and not few
OF the logs are being rolled pretty
high. 1t seems to be the general
opinion here that II. S. Smith Is
the man that has the lead up to
the present writing. 1t Is general
ly understood and in fact has been
asserted with out contradiction
that Smith Is the man that Gov
Culberson is pulling the ropes for
and in view OF this fact Smiths
friends are sanguine Of his success
The Mills and Cough men are
not loosing their spirit any, how.
ever, and claim that they will win
the race. They argue that Gov
Hogg's support Of the Hon. Hahn
Gossett, two years ago, knocked
the props from under that gentle.
man when he was almost within
reaching distance of the desk, and
that this support Of Smith by Cul
berson turn in similar manner.
The cases can hardly be ClasseG
as parallel ones, however, and the
Smith men are still surveying the
field with that calm assurance thai
speaks we'll for their candidate
The race promises to be lively
one. Take it at it's best, however
and judging from claims made
here there will have to be severa
ballots taken before any one OF the
three will have the necessary mum
Der OF votes to entitle him to the
gavel.
There is quite lot OF speculation
going the rounds at present as Il
whether or not Gov. Ross will re
main at the A. & NJ. College as it
president or accept the appoint
ment Of Gov.-Elect Culberson t.
the railroad commission. Thi
