Quincy IL Working Hard.

Austin. Texas, March 5.-when seen to-
day by The Post correspondent about
Judge Hardy's address TO the Sound
money democracy recommending the
booming OF Land Commissioner Baker for
governor, the latter said that he knew no
more about it than what the papers had
printed.
To tho direct question, do you intend
TO run for governor on the lines suggested
by Judge Hardy?" Mr.. Baker replied;
II will have to give Won the same an
swer l gave you three weeks ago when
you asked mo IL would be candidate
for reelection to my present office, which
was i am not prepared TO say at this
time what | am going TO do
Are you prepared to say now that you
will not be n candidate for GOVERNOR
continued The Post representative.
II am not saying what win do one
way or tho other. 1 don't know"
do you believe that you have been
marked for the slaughter as Judge
Hardy says?'
"Wel, the free silverites IN several coun-
ties have already declared thar they
won't vote for anybody but silver men
and the Dudley people say as much"
MAY be 30. but II h reported that when
Mr.. Blakes secretary was here recently,
and 1t was intiinated 10 him That the bali
ancc OF the administration was opposed
to your denomination, no said that the
capitol gang was not running tho bust

Yes. I'VE heard that" replied Coloue,
Baker. But / haven't heard II said by
any one IN authority or Delegated to speak
for tho party that ! would NOT be

In nno Mr.. Baker positively refused TO
say what he proposed to DO, politically
speaking, this year.
IN the other departments Hardy's letter
created sons surprise aud especially the
marked for the slaughter part of It,
and the inclination on the part of Colonel
Baker to sort of believe that There IS real
opposition TO his denomination.
Every member OF the administration
seen by Tho Post correspondent expressed
himself az not caring cent whit Mr..

MANY FIRMS ARE HEAVY SUFFERERS


Orange. Texas. March 3.--The fire fiend
again visited Orange this morning. and
where yesterday stood large two-story
frame hotel building, today an immense
heap of ashes marks the spot; and where
yesterday stood an elegant three-story
brick business block, the handsomest
building in Orange, today only some
ragged walls and heap of brick and de-
bris remain. This morning the engineer
at the electric light plant, about 1890
o'clock. noticed q brilliant light streaming
from the building across the street. occu-
pied unul Saturday night by A. Gugcn-
helm as the Eta house. lie quickly gave
the alarm, but the flames were 50 far ad-
vanccd as to be beyond human control
aud the first arrivals at the scene saw
that the building was doomed. A piano
belonging to the former occupant, Mr. ~
Gugcnhem. was dragged from the burn
ing building, together with few small
articles. but the work had TO cease there
as the heat was so Intense 10 ous could
again enter the building The Eta house
stood al the corner of Second and Front
streets, while opposite It on Front street
stands the McKinuou building, occupied
by the ElSs' lodge una as a rice ware
house.
Opposite on Second street stood the mag
nincent brick block built by n. Morrison
The window castings ia this building
quickly caught from the burning hotel and
began burning fercely while IT seemed
