Barney Gibbs expounded populist doctrine
to fair sized audience at Harmony hall
tonight, the burden of his discourse being
directed entirely against the democratic
party. He denounced Sayers and the State
administration and held Governor Culber-
sen UP to scorn. The relief railroad scheme
and other populistic theories were indorsed.

for congress spoke briefly, it being his
first appearance before a Galveston audi

There were Barnett Gibbs and Harry

and two or three others all smiling and
happy. Mr.. Gibbs smoked cigarettes an;
cracked jokes. Mr.. Tracey looked serious
and listened to what the more vouble gen

times his dark eyes sparkle so peculiarly
that you wonder whether he's Joking or
not, but that's probably more of an atfec-
ton OF the sight than from any spirit OF
levity.

Gibbs, "a real nice time. Why. the dem
