Nasty POLITICAL FRACAS
Is What the Fight for the State Chair
manship Promises 10 BE.

Fort Worth. Tex, Aug. 1S.-CSpccial)
The race for state Craftsmanship be-
tween Blake and Bookhout is forming
itself into II nasty political fracas and
unless some compromise can be effected
by tomorrow the fight will be TO Il finish
before the convention. BoOkhout is
backed by CulbcrSon and the administra-
ton forces and they are rather proud
of the fact that Il resolution introduced
in the order of business committee this
afternoon, providing for the election of
state chairman first, was voted down.
They counted that this was test hight,
but it can hardly he construed as such,
for the reason that some Blake men
voted against it. If the nomination had
been fixed as the first order of business,
all candidates would have had TO keep
hands off, but as il IS. after they get their
nominations the can leg as much rs they
please. Blake men say if the election
was tonight they would win by 200 ma
iority, but with the combined ticket
against them ut the end the result il
problematic pure and simple.
Blake men are bitter against Culber-
son over his antagonism to Blake. They
say he has made the party Il success on
the silver issue. and now that they are
through with him the Culbcrson gang
proposes to sidctrack him and put i'll
IL man that never has spent any money
for him or the silver party.
Albert Burleson of Travis is Logging
for Bookhout. but he requested me to
publish that he was personally Il Blake
man and would rather elect him, but
Governor Culbcrson had said he wanted
Boobhout and he was supporting him
for the reason that he believed that Gov
ernor Culbcrson's wishes should be car
ricd out in this matter. as he had Il right
to name the state chairman.
The Blake men tonight say that Cul-
berson is trimming his sails for United
States senator next time, and wants
Bookhout in charge of the party machn-
cry to boost him along. The fight will be
n nasty. back biting enc.

TO STOREY'S RESCUE.
The Administration EXerting Their
Strength to Down Mccall.

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 1S.-(Special.)
The race for railroad commissioner is
still conceded to be between Mccall and
Storey for third position, with Mayiicld
and Reagan sure for the first two.
The administration gang threw them
selves into the breach today for Storey,
and it is believed they have secured him
some fresh strength, though Mccall men
are sangune. Representative PeytOn.
also a candidate, gained some strength
last night, and today was counting on
200 votes on the first ballot, but since
the administration took up the fight for
Storey it is believed he has lost ground.

on the crowd here for his living. While
they are all patriots here, they do not
carry the matter so far as to blow them
selves, and buttons that were quoted at

offered at > cents today, and still there
are but few takers. a biz batch of
fakirs are also vending silver books and

with little success. This band OF pa

coinage of silver will not dcprcciate their

are here nevertheless crying for depre-
ciated money with Il vengeance.

Fusion Proposition Would BE En-

Fort Worth. Tex. Aug. 1S.-(SpccialD
To-day Marion Williams, one of the
populst campaign committee, submitted
Il written proposition to Chairman Dud-
ley of the executive committee, asking
him if he would entertain Il proposition
from the populist part to divide electors
for vice president.
Dudley replied:
Il have no authority to speak for the
party, but as for myself | say no, not
by any means"
Nothing further has been done in the
matter, but it is presumed that the pop
ulists are trying to feel the democratic
pulse.

A NICE LITTLE PLAN.

Fort Worth. Tex. Aug. 1S.-(SpecialJ
The silver men here have fixed the
future to suit themselves. They say
that when the United States votes sill

currency, all European nations will fol-
low suit. and that Wall street will be
the first agency that will make. a move
TO see that European powers do adopt
the silver standard. That when the sii-
yer policy is voted they will look to wall
street to get other nations IN line, ana
they will not look in vain. Wall street
will be forced to do this to protect her,
self. and thus we will have them grabbed

FIGIRING OUT THE NOTE.

Fort Worth. Tex, Aug. 1S.--lSpcciall)
Some few populists who are here look
ing on the convention are doing, some
figuring with the popOcrats as to whether
Culberson or Kcarby will be elected III
November. The figuring of the populistS
is on the basis that 100000 votes VIII
DE cast in the state election i'll Novrn-
her. Knocking off 10000 votes for the
prohibition party the populists claim it
leaves 10000 votes to be figured on by
the other factions. Taking this as their
starting point they figure the total
fusion vote against Culbcrson and III
favor of Kcarby as follows:

IS the half of 100000 is 24O.OOO it can

As the half of 10000 is 100000 it can
readily be seen that if the fusion ticket
gets the strength accorded it by the above
estimate. it will have 1000 votes the
hest of the Culberson vote. The popu-
lists consider the above Il very conscrva-
tive estimate of the strength of the
fusion, but cutting down the popllist
vote to 80. 900 votes and the anti-Culbcr-
son democratic vote to 5000 and the
fusion ticket is still 10000 votes in the
lead. These figures, when shown some
of the popocrats today, rather staggered
them, but they took safety in Il storm of
gcncralitics of ''wc will beat you 100000
votes" etc, and would not condcscend
to figure the matter out with the popu-
lists.

Chicago, H., Feb. 2s.-The steady
persistent buying of professionals both
here and in New York who have been
caught heavily short was the princi-

by the unexpected strength displayed
by the Liverpool market, caused a gain

but slightly responsive, and provisions

But Persistent Buying of Wheat Gives
Strength to the Market and it
Continues to Advance
in Price.

New York, Feb. 2s.-The cotton mar
ket opened higher by los points, the
early cables coming better than ez-
pected. and early indications, as to
interior receipts, pointing to lighter
movement than had been looked for
subsequently, commission houses be-
came active sellers and the market
broke five points on the active posi-
tions and closed at about the lowest
prices. very quiet. Reports from
New England on the question OF snort
time are conflicting. Some say that
the New England spinners are more
disnosed than ever to resort to short
time. Certain bulls here, however,
claim that the short time movement
is merely blind of the Eastern spin
ners to weaken the spot cotton mar
lxets and give them better buying
level.
