such an extent that it is even possible,

Manipulated by James s. HOgg.
The coming campaign in Texas, says
the Globe Democrat, is going to be a
beside which even the HoQg-Clark
battle between Hogg and Clark is to
be brought in this year. Already have
the members of the state ring begun to
throw out illusions and insinuatiops
that various men who are not with
them are irreconcilisbles against the
rule of Hogg, and that is an. unpardon-
when a man aspires to any public honor
or emoluments. When Hogg secured
control of the machinery of the dem
ocratic party of Texas after memoir
able fight, six years ago, he did the Job
so thoroug hly that he still occupies
the position of Joss to all good lotto

While Gov. Culberson is the ostensi-

is really James S. Hogg who dictates

first time, in 1890, then he got out of

holder, John 81. Reagan, try to beat
Charlie Culberson for the governor

pointed. This year the said n. o. b.,

Oquendo, the two fine Spanish cruisers
which have been lying at Havana rad left
that port. Their destination is no. known,
but there is reason 10 believe they have
gone TO 3cln the torpedo fiotilla.
