AUSTIN, Tex, June 30. There
will be two big conventions in this
city Tuesday and even now some
of the advance guard are knocking
at the outer walls of the city for
admission.
Indications point to the fact that
the conventions will be very brief
and not at all exciting in the mat.
ter Of contests or the like. Both
factions will have their separate
meeting places and will in all
probability not speak as they pass
by. The silver wing Of the party
will hold forth at the Convention
hall and the sound money men
will be on deck at Turner Hall, an
amusement house here in the city
which will, it is thought, accom-
modate some $500, IL necessary.
In view of the coming Of these
two conventions at the same time,
the citizens Of Austin are making
extra preparations to entertain the
throng Of visitors.
Both factions will elect their
delegations to Chicago and take
steps to see that they are seated.
Governor Culbersou, Col. Hogg,
Judge Reagan and the state ring
in general, will have charge Of the
convention hall crowd, and Judge
Rufus Hardy, Judge Geo. Clark,
Henry Mcdonald and other patri-
otto democratic, will be in control
of the sound money meeting.
AS above stated, there will be
little or no friction in the conven.
ton, due to the fact that each will
steer clear of the other. In view
Of this fact tho two conventions
can, in all probability, dispatch
their business very rapidly and
adjourn In two days at least, If not
at once. There will be a very large
crowd in attendance, however, due
to the fact Of the financial matters
involved, and much interest will
be attendant upon the ado ption OF
the respective platforms and the
election OF delegates TO Chicago.
The silver men will, as matter of
course, send Gov. Culberson, Hogg,
Reagan and some others of their
faithful. The sound money men
will probably honor Judge Clark,
Rufus Hardy and number of
other true blue democrats. The
advance guard of delegates are ex-
pected in, in force, tomorrow.
l.. l.. McGinnis, Of Bryan, and A.
Milt Kennedy, of Mexia, are
among the first delegates to the
free silver convention to show up,
arriving in the city this morning.
They will represent their respec.
tive counties.
The Summer Normal at Rock
port will open July 9th aud close

viously announced.
