TO the HERALD:


Rio Grande City, Texas. Oct. "A.
In starr County, the political sit
uation is clearing rapidly. On the
4th., the Democrats held their coun-
ty convention, and, after adopting
resolutions congratulations the peo-
pie on the fine roads and schools,
and perfect freedom and order, con
sequent upon the efforts of the
present county officials, renominat-
ed all of them as follows:
Sheriff, ". W. Shelly; County
Judge, J. R. Monroe; County At
torney, Knox Jones; County Clerk,
Adolph Oosteeveen; District Clerk;
Nm. Lewis; treasurer, J. e. Guerra;
Tax Collector, G. Duffy; Assessor,
NJ. P. Juarez; Inspector of Hides
and Animals, Emilio Zarate; and
Surveyor, J. S. Monroe. Mr.. Shelly
was elected chairman of the execu-
tive committee for the ensuing two
years.
There were not les than four hun
dred men at the convention, whom
some thirty were from outside pre-
cincts and the balance from this
precinct. 1t was the best attended,
most harmonious and most enthus-
iastic convention held here in many
years, and very we'll represented the
prevailing sentiment Of the county.
The campaign was opened in this
precinct on the night of the 18th.
when the Club Washington { HI
dalgo, the local Democratic organiz-
alton elected It's new officers, with
G. Duffy as president, admitted
seventy-two new members, and list
ened to the opening guns Of the
battle. There is no doubt about
this precinct. Last election the
vote was tie, each party having
420 votes, but no one now estimates
the Democratic majority at less than
one hundred.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION TOMORROW.
Itwas reported that Ed. c. Lasater
would be here on the 18th. and that
the Republicans would then form
ulate their ticket. However, Mr.
Lasater did not come, and the
Republican county convention is
now set for the 18th. There is a
great deal of speculation as to their
ticket, but there are no candidates
for places on it, the result OF the
election being too well assured.

Writers Have Found Health and
Pleasure in Physical Sports.

A look through who's Who discloses
the fact that most authors nowadays seek
recreation in outdoor sport. AT one time
the author who lived out of doors was an
exception. Wordsworth was prodigious

lameness. However, he seems to have
been a respectable amateur boxer. The

Lake of Geneva, and he duplicated the
classic feature of Leander in swimming

Among the poets of our own day Swim

was addicted to this form of sport ana
had few equals in the days of his own
vigorous manhood. He was known to
have an ambition to swim the English

which IT. later years was accomplished by

not known. 1t was a lucky escape
from a more disastrous fire, as the To-
