Dallas, Texas. February l4.--An interest.
ing feature Of the political fight in Dallas
county occurred today. A committee Of
personal and political friends Of Hon. Mann
Irice, VINO lis a candidate for attorney gem
eral' waited on the managers OF the Crane
and Savers forces and plainly informed
them that neither Crane nor Sayers need
expect to have the big Dallas county dele
CATION instructed for any gubernatorial
candidate; that the interests Of Mr.. Trice
should be of paramount Importance to
every democrat in the county aud that his
cnances for nomination should not be
leopardized by sending a dnegation tied
up for any other candidate. Both the Crane
and Savers forces disclaimed any idea Of
conflicting With MIR. 1rices interests
Trees friends in Dallas are organizing
for an enthusiastic fight in his behalf.
They say 1T would be bad politics to have
the Dallas delegation instructed for any
body except Mr.. Trice, and that he must be
allowed to pick his own delegation. 1t
seems certain that this course Will be fol-
lowed.
