should decide upon what time they Will
Tx for the holding OF primaries and adopt
such regulations therefor as are auth

Heretofore each congressional district
convention has appointed its executive
committeeman for each county and elect
ed a chairman for said district and has

trict Congressman Grain pulled through
after a hard and close fight in which the
combination OF republicans and pvpulists
came nearer being succes sful than the
democrats thought. Grain received N,W6
votes to 10, 0s9 for " Weldon. the populigt
candidate. Even the democrats admit
that had 1t not been for some doubtful
border votes Grain would not have been
elected.
Two democrats are mentioned for the
nomination by that party. one is Jam, g
u. Wells, the most prominent lawyer In
Brownsville. who has often been mention
ed for the place. The other Is state SEN
ator Dibrcll OF Guadalupe county. Mr..
Wells law practice is IA very lucrative
one and II Is doubtful if he can be induced
to accept the nomination. especially when
there Is so much doubt of an election.
The populists will again put up Mr. Wei
don " he wants the nomination and he
viii receive the republican support. Ben
Terrell. who WAS once the National lee
turer Of the alliance, may ask for the
nomination. II tried for the popullat nom
ination two years nEo, but was defeated
by Weldon. To star reporter a Texas
democrat said: 81 will not be surprised IN
the least II Grains successor "a n popu-
popular democrat in the district. He came
near defeat and ! doubt If any other dent
ocrlt can win II the populists make n
strong fight. I do not know how much
there Is In the general impression that
the populists are almost sure TO make n
rlean sweep IN Texas this year, but !
do know that they now have n good
chance to send a congressman from the
Eleventh district"

Waco, Texas, February 13.--,rhe demo-
cratic county executive committee meet
ing was called for 10 o'clock this morn
ing but 1t was II 30 before the meeting
came to order. There was an unusually
large crowd of spectators. all very anxious
TO know the result. The county
candidates alone constituted IA small army.
There were in hand urging that the
primary for. the selection OF the county
ticket be held very early early in April,
most OF them wanted 1t. They argued
that II the county ticket were nominated
at that early date, whatever split or party
arise would not affect that ticket. a
number of populists were also present
headed by the redoubtabie Colonel IL.
Tom Cox and they professed sympathy
for the democracy, torn by the financial
issue as they declared There were good
natured expressions on all sides and no
crease OF the populist strength in the
county has evidently had a marked effect
upon the democracy as far as county
matters are concerned and the intention
was evident 10 make AS few mistakes and
provoke as little friction as possible. At
least this was The general expression.
When the meeting opened some pre-
urinary discussion occurred. after which
the committee went into secret session.
This lasted until $3.50 this afternoon. when
