your eXcellency this battle flag, gallantly carried in war by Terrys Texas Rangers, braver men than whom never drew sword in battle. This act proclaims more elo- quently than words of mine Indiana's joy that henceforth the daring intrepidity of Texas heroes will be displayed in carrying the flag of our Union to victory against all its foes.
 '@Take this flag, and may 1t henceforth be an emblem of unity and good will between the states of Indiana and Texas and a seal of their fidelity to the national union."
 The flag is an interesting relic The Ran gers claim that 1t was never captured that it was lost while they were in retreat. The Indian1ans, however, assert that it fell in to the hands of the Indiana regiment dur ing the heat of battle. Terrys Rangers formed one of the most famous regiments of the war. The question of the return of this flag by the state of Indiana to the sur vivors of the Rangers has long been dis cussed, and in a manner that attracted at- tention the country over.
 Tonight's reception was rendered to Governor Mount and the members of his staff by the citizens of Dallas at the Dal- las club building.
 The Indiana governor and his party were driven to the reception at o'clock, flag bearer on the front coach carrying the staff colors. They were received by a party composed of members of the select circle of Dallas society.
 Tomorrow morning the party will leave for home. A special train furnished by the citizens will carry them from here to Ft. Worth, thirty miles west, and then to sherman, sixty miles north, in order to enable the Indianians to view portion of the famous ''black lands" farming belt of Texas.

THE RUMOR HAS
 BEEN REVIVED Johnston May Stand for Third
 Term.
FRIENDS ARE URGING HIM
Hon. John W. Tomlinson Spends Day in the Capital, and Has Fine Show of Securing Montgom-
 cry County Delegation

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, October 5.-(Special.) .)-There is a revival of the discussion of Governor John- eton's probable candidacy for a third term as governor, from certain quarters. It was caused very largely by a remark made by State Senator Charles w. Thompson, who was In the city yesterday that the gover- nor was receiving many letters asking him to run for third term. Senator Thomp- son did not see the governor while in the city yesterday, and his expression in re- nor was merely~an opinion held for some time, and not newly obtained. Senator Thompson stated that the governors s friends, in urging him to stand for re- nomination, used the argument that he could as easily succeed himself as governor as he could become the successor to Sen ator Morgan, and in fact, that the gover- norship would materially assist him with it's large patronage to become senator.
 On the other hand many of the gover- nor's strong friends tell him that he cannot overcome democratic precedent and suc- ceed himself Then there are many candf- dates in the race who would very naturally combine against him, is another argument advanced.
 Wiil be Candidate for Senate
 There is no sort of basis for tthe re- vival of the story" said one of the gov- ernor's closest personal and political friends, who resides in Jefferson, and who held a long conference with the governor last night. 'I think that the governor will be a candidate for the senate" he con- tinued, "and I believe that he has excel lent chances to win. I find that Senator Morgan is already defeated, and there is nobody who realizes this fact more than does the governor. Governor Johnston is today the best posted man in politics in Alabama, and while he has not told me so, I am perfectly confident that he will be- come a candidate for the senate. There is too much risk for him to run for governor again, and it is going to require most powerful pressure for him to enter the race. In fact, he is simply not going to ask for a third term.'
 The above opinion coincides with that furnished the correspondent of The Age Herald by a member of the official family about four weeks ago, and not until re- needed in regard to the matter it could be stated that some of the governors right hand bowers in the capital have already pledged their support to other candidates for governor.
