Livingston, Texas. March 2S.-Hon.
George r. Jester addressed a fairly good
audience at this place about o'clock this
evening In the interest of his campaign
as Il candidate for the office of governor.
His address was brief, but we'll in line
with his opening speech at LufkIn.
HIS style was pleasant and rather at
tractive. while he made ITO effort MT ora
tory, and upon the whole his effort was
somewhat prepossessing, fully up to the
expectation OF his friends here,
II was universally regretted that a more
favorable time could not have been had
and larger attendance procured, though
under the circumstances and with so short
notice IL was reasonably good and very
attentive.
Hon, John NJ. Logan of Tyler also made
a short talk as a candidate for comptroller,
and but for his attack on the present in
cuinbept. made fair effort He claims,
and attempted to prove. that Mr. Ffnlsy's
administration was responsible for the de-
ficieney in State finances In that he had
accepted large landed estates and railroad
interests In the uuorganized counties at
less valuation than his predecessor aud
less than he (Mr. Logan thought was Il
