CAMPBELL HAS A SMILE.
Sometimes He Shows His Teeth.-Evi-
dent That He Is Satisfied.

Dallas. Texas. Aug. 7.-Col Ton
Campbell. who. when the first ballot
is taken in the Democratic convention
next week will have more votes than
any other aspirant for the party's
nomination for governor, came to
town this afternoon. Judge Nc
Means, who has been managing Col
Campbells campaign, came with him.
The train on which they rode was due
shortly after 8 o'clock, but there was
a wreck somewhere. with the result
that Col. Campbell and his campaign
manager did not reach here until near
ly o'clock.
When Col. Campbell got to the st.
George, where Judge McMeans had
established headquarters, there was
something of a crowd in the lobby.
Most of the folks seemed TO be wait
ing for him, for when he entered there
was a contraction of the throng, and
he had to shake many hands before
he could get upstairs to stow away
his grip When that was done he
came down again, and tilted in a rock
ing chair. held a kind of levee. The
Hon. Jefferson Davis Montgomery, the
Farmers Union man. who thinks he is
somewhat responsible for the existing
status of things. was there. So was
Hon. A. VI. Kennedy of McLennan
county, who. although he was not
chosen as a delegate to the conven-
ton. was reelected to the legislature,
and finds ample compensation in that
fact Earlier in the day Uncle Trav"
Henderson was there, but he had to
catch a train for home, and therefore
did not have an opportunity to greet
Col. Campbell
Col. Campbell did not have anything
to say to the newspapers. further than
that he was feeling pretty well. His
appearance was corroborative evil
dence of the statement To every
question that was put to him Colonel
Campbell only smiled, now and then
waving his hand in a deprecating
way. Col. Campbell's smile was in
good working order Every question
brought forth an expansive smile, and
when some one asked him If the stu
alton was quite satisfactory to him,
the smile so stretched that his teeth |
shone beneath his mustache.
Col. Johnson. Judge Duncan and |
Col. T. y. Jones. all Of Tyler, were
there, and they acted somewhat as
masters of ceremony, by introducing /
those who sought to shake the Col
onel's hand. All Of them, apparently,
were Campbell men. At least they /
greeted Col. Campbell effusIyely, and /

BRYAN WAS PRAISED

Democrats of Idaho placed in nomina

most of them wished him various and
sundry kinds of luck After the in
Productions. the callers congregated in
groups about the corridor to discuss
the outlook. All were agreed that
Col. Campbell could not be defeated,
a conclusion not surprising, perhaps,
under the circumstances. Several
possible combinations which might
jeopardize Col. Campbelrs ambition
were discussed, and every conception
fell to pieces when analysed, with the
result that when supper time came
the groups dispersed, each man assur-
ing his neighbor that Col Campbell's
nomination is a certainty.
None of the other candidates has
opened eonven.ion headquarters in
Dallas yet. and therefore the volume
of Campbell talk spread unresisted.
Mr.. Colquitt's friends content them
selves with the assertion that he will
be second in the race on the first bal
lot, and Judge Brooks friends make
the same statement with respect to
him. and in the engagement of this
dispute none of their partisans seem
to have had time to compose his fore
cast of what will happen after the
first ballot
