NEGROES ¥OH HOGG.
The Henderson Tiiaea, edited
by Speaker Milner ft ad published
at the home ol Web Flanagan,
gives a racy aoconnt of the repub-
lican convention there.
Flanagan waa elected chairman.
A Bet of resolutions indorsing
Clark were reported and pnt
through, though the Tiroes Bays
the nays were in the majority.
But Flauagan was called on for
a speech. He made a loug one,
and when he left a negro took the
chair and they held auotber con-
vention. Several negroes made
speeches, and ouly one of them
was for Clark.
The following is the closing
part of the Times' account of the
convention
Several negroes made speeches
aud only one favored Clark, aud
one favored Nugeut, but between
Hogg aud CUrk he was for Hogg.
Each one declared, however, that
if the convention at Fort Worth
had nominated a straight out re
publican be would feel bound to
vote for him. But between Hogg
and Clark —a fight between two
democrats—the beat thing for a
negro to do waa to stick to the
one who had been tried, aud
whose administration they had
faith in. George Clark, they said,
ia backed by the railroad corpora-
tions, and not the friend of the
poor man. One of the speakers,
in defending Hogg's administra-
tion, spoke of the separate coach
law and said it was one of
the very best laws ever
passed. They all depre
cated the separation from their
honored leader —General Flana
gan—but they said the time had
come when they must think an.'
act for themselves. Their speech-
es were conservative, and respect-
ful in the highest degree to those
who differed from him.
After several speeches had been
made a reaolution endorsing Jim
Hogg waa almoat unanimously
adopted.
FALSE TEACHERS.
This ia an age of enlightenment, |
but a campaign of education ia aa
badly needed now aa it ever waa.
Ignorance and prejudice general!v
go together, and much of the bit
ter prejudice now met in political
circlea ia due to ignorance. False j
teachers play upon the credulity
of the people, and with those who
read leaat the demagogue geta in
hia moat dangeroua work.
We must complain at the mis-
leading things taught by partiaan
papers. The man who aeta bim-
aelf up aa a public informant and
teacher and then to prove hia par-
tiaan enda suppresses the £act<* or
publishes falsehoods is ao enemy
to hia oountry, we do not care to
which party he belongs. Every
false statement in a paper, wheth-
er It ia a falae interview or a false
aaaertion deaignated to influence
men for or againat a oertain meaa-
ure, doea harm. W e do not mean
to rule men'a argumenta down to
the rule of abaolute certAinty and
clearness, but we refer to state-
menta of facta that are taken as
the baala of »<jts«¥lIE9. 3-
aueb statement mialeada some-
Tested by thia rule our sob-
treaaury neighbor certainly is
guilty of negligent or intentional
wrong In hia comments on Senator
Coke's speech at the fair grounds.
We give the following extract
from the Signal of the 14th inst.:
The senator said the democratic
party waa an economical one, but
he did not explain what went with
the one billion thirty-five millions
of dollars paid out and contracted
to be paid out by the last congress,
and he did not explain that all
bills appropriating money must
flrat be int'oduced in the lowei
houae, thus throwing all the blame
for this fabaloua expenditure of
money on the boaated three-fourth*
democratic bonae. But be atiP
persisted ia telling the people tha'
the democratic party was theii
friends.
This contains two statements
iatended to be facts, which are
stnlght out "not so'a." iu the
first place anj man who can read
ooffct to know that the last con-
gress did not appropriate one bil
lion thirty-five million dollars. If
ho means tha last congress and
IRELAND AND LANHAM.
These Distinguished Texans
are Squarely on the Record.
Governor Irelaad writes to a
friend in Houston as follows :
Seguin, Tex., Sept. 20.—My
Dear Sir: I have your note of
date requesting my views on the
present political canvass. I have
been out or the state all summer,
and since my return have tried to
avoid participation in the canvass,
but it seems impoaaible to do so.
I am not bo egotistical as to sup
pose thatany number of independ-
ent freemen can or will be influ-
enced by any views I might ex
press. Nor am I uneasy about
the prosperity and glory of my
state. It will take a great deal
more than one or two adminis-
trations to even oripple the grand
commonwealth. Nor am I great
ly concerned about plat orms
The man who says all platforms
are not trimmed to auit men, sec-
tions and factions has either very
little klowledge of politics or
very little regard for the truth. I
am not alarmed at a state platform
going beyond a natioual p atform
or falling short, especially touch
eral queatlons. The Hous-
ton convention closed the argu-
ment as to men, and I am a demo-
cret and shall vote for Governor
Hogg. These are my views very
briefly expressed. Very respect-
fully yours, John Ibeland.
Hon. 8. W. T. Lanhaui writes
aa follows:
I shall vote tor Hogg and the
associated ticket The convention
which nominated this ticke' repre-
sented the overwhelming majority
of the delegates sent to Houston
by the primaries, and irrespective
of all other conventions,as a party
man. and one believing in the
necessity of organization and co-
hesion among democrats, I feel
it my duty to support its nomi-
nees. The silver plank in the
Houston platform is an intrepid
and consiatent declaration of
democratic doctrine and meets
my unqualified indorsement. (See
marked portions of speech en
closed). The silver plank in the
Chicago platform is subject to
different constructions, but con-
taina enough to warrant and
justify the utterance of the Hons
ton convention. Respectfully, etc.

the people want a railroad
commission tbey can have it
under George Clark as governor—
a commission that will deal out
even handed justice to both sides
—the people and the railroads.—
Lampaaaa Leader.
It would be a good thing for
those who are in favor of proscrip
tion and oatraciam of thoae who
differ from them ia opinion if tbey
would note the fickleness of all
tbinga human and remember that
the tablee may turn againat them
some day. No one can hope to
always play lucky cards Wiohita
Herald.
The Hogg commiaaion ia dead.
It died from an overdose of social
ism. Clark will give the people
of Texaa a commiaaion with con-
atitutional vitality and democratic
build—Waco Day.
Coke waa right. Any man who
pretends to be a democrat who
would be controlled by Cuneyand
hia force bill crowd is a traitor to
his country.—Henderson Times.
Clark forced Hogg off the "Iobd
the children's money to the rail-
roads" plank before tne conven-
tion, but the Dallas Times-Herald,
forgetting the mishap of the gov-
ernor, is.aefending that proposed
theft of abacred fund. Will Hogg
never get rid of his fool friends!
— Waco Day.
The real isaue between Ho^g
and Clark is not one of silver, or
income tax, or tariff or other such
buncombe or claptrap. All that
is logged in for stage effect. The
real isaue ia a railroad commia-
aion that meana something aa
represented by Hogg or one that
is an absolute farce as represent
ed by Clark—Crockett Courier.
If the railroad tariffa prove too
high from this on it is nobody's
fault but Hogg's. Had be made
a constitutional commission law
and a just law ihere would have
been no kick coming. If the
people want sncb a law Clark is
the man ♦o give it to them. He
knows the constitution and will
never sacrifioe the people's inter
est for self interest. He Is not
made that way. His whole life
proves him honest and capable.—
Gate City Guide.
Why do the boltocrata take
pleaaure in quoting auch men aa
Throckmorton and Maxey on the
situation, men who are politically
dead in Texas? Why don't they
quote live statesmen, such as
Coke, Mills, Culberson, Lanham
and a host of others that might be
mentioned? — Wichita Herald.
At the November election the
democratic party—the party of the
people—will rise in its might, and
treason and sham and intrigue,
now coalescing for its defeat, will
be made so odions in Texas that
traitors and conspirators against
its principles will forever bide
their faces and be heard of no
more.—Houston Post.
Gov. Ross was endorsed by a
Texas state republican conven-
tion. Gov. Hogg was then attor-
ney general and was also indorsed.
No candidates were nominated
against them. All democrats voted
for them. New why should any
democrat hesitate to support
Judge Clark because the same
republican state convention has
recommended him?—Dallas News.
Editor Huprria%:
Wo woald like to say a few
words In regards to the Agricul
toral and Mechanical College of
Texas, near Bryan.
Some three or four months ago
we decided to send our son to
thst institution * after inquiring
into the merits of many other mil*
itary schools. When he went we
accompanied him for fear we
would not like tho school as well
as we did from reading the cata-
logue, but we are happy to say
that we were agreeably surprised
to find soch a beautiful and invit-
ing place.
The school is most excellently
situated and has all the comforts
and conveniences one could wish
for. It is five miles north of
Bryan, at College Station on the
H. & T. C. railroad.
We arrived at the college about
11 o'clock, went up to the main
building, second floor, where we
found a gentleman in the right
place, as everyone who has met
Governor L. 8. Robs can Bay.
The grounds are beautiful—a
perfect flower garden, with plenty
of shade trees. We believe that
the school is second to none in
every respect, but as near as we
can find out this school bas not
always been what it is now. Sinco
1890 under the management of
PreBident Rosa it baa greatly im
prove and, we believe, will contin
ue to improve under the aame
management We hope there will
be many more who will find out
that we have a military college in
Texas that is second to nene in
the Union.

They fafa Their Way.
Juat as ths east bo and local
train was about to pull out from
the M., K. & T depot yeBterday
afternoon six tramps "vere discov-
ered on tbe trucks preparatory to
beating their way out of town.
One of them was minus one leg,
another only had one arm and a
third had one hand badly scarred
up, evidently the result of acci-
dents while "riding the trucks."
They were induced to crawl out,
when the one-legged fellow went
to the ticket office and bought
tickets for himself and pals to
Whitesboro. Neither of the party
locked to be over 21 years of age,
but from the looks of their cloth-
ing they are evidently old road-
sters.
Kewurd of Virtue.
At 'what age does self admiration end?
Perhaps if aged people were entirely
frank they would have to tell their self
conceited grandchildren, if they asked
this question, "You must ask some one
older than we."
Grandpa Brown is eighty-two, and
time has not spared him. He is bald,
toothless aud wrinkled. The other day
his grandson, Tom, looked at him long
and steadily, and said:
"Grandpa, when i get to be as old as
you shall i look as you do?"
Grandpa beamed. "Oh, yes, Tommy,"
he answered; "you may if )'ou are good
and take care of yourself all yonr life."—

TWO CONVENTIONS.
Crockett, Tex., Sept 25.—The
republicans held two conventions
yesterday, one indorsed Clark and
the other repudiated the Fort
Worth oonveation. In the latter
convention, Tom Taylor called P.
Warfleld, a Clark man, a liar and
the fan opened. It was some time
before the aheriff and hia depatlea
got matters straight.
As Bans Jonas say a, there
blood, hair and the ground tore op.
Jeff Baker, the negro who was
shot and killed Saturday night
while resisting Officers Gaines
and Morter, proves to have been
quite a prominent negro. He was
an Odd Fellow and a Knight of
Pythias, and in one of those or-
ders his life was insured for $2000.
His body was turned over to
the local colored lodge of Odd
Fellows on Sunday mornin?, who
notified Baker's wife at Pine
Bluff of his death. She tele
graphed to bold the remains until
she arrived, and she came in on
the delayed Santa Fe train last
night.
The body was embalmed yester-
day and it will be ahipped to Pine
Bluff for burial today.
Justice Snider began taking
testimony in the inqoest yesterday
afternoon the only witnesses ex
amined being Sheriff Ware and
Policeman Morter. The taking of
teatimony will be reaumed today.
It ia not yet known Who fired the
fatal ahot, aa both Deputy Sheriff
Joe Gainea and Policeman Qaill
Morter fired on the fleeing man as
aoon aa he ahot at them. Tbe
ptatol Baker had was a 44-caliber
Smith and Wesson.
Jack Smith the negro who shot
Ed. Prescott, and who the officera
thought they bad when they were
forced to kill Jeff Baker, baa not
been heard from. Prescett, the
wounded man, waa doing well
yeaterday.
Joe Thompaon and Squire
Jones, the two negroea who were
jailed Saturday night, were re-
leased Snndsy.

Ue Was Too Perlite.
Two homely and tittering maiden*and
a stout and aggressive wife comprised
his flock. He was a small man, with a
pointed beard and a solicitous air, and
he marshaled the party in front of the
dining room door on a Champlain
steamer ten minutes before dinner waa
served so as to "be in time," and when
finally they headed the procession to the
tables there began a volley of solicitous
inquiries that well nigh broke the appe-
tites of neighboring passengers. The
small man sat at the head of a table,
and he held the bill of fare and doled
out inquiries.
"Will you have chicken or beef sonp,
mother?"'
"Chicken. Edward."
"Kitty, dear?"
"Beef, pa.''
"Beef for you, Mary?"
"Chicken if you please."
"You will all have fish, I suppose," lie
said.
"None for me," said his wife decid-
edly. One of the girls also voted against
fish, and then he beat the waiting ear-
drums of the white aproned attendant
with an order that was changed five
times. At last as the boat neared it*
destination a generous array of viands
had appeared, and th* small man's solic-
itude grew dreadful.
"Mother, do have some beets."
"I don't wish any."
"Take Bome corn, Kitty, dear. Pass
the celery to the gentleman next, Mary.
This beef is excellent, mother. Can't I
give yon a bit of it? No? Have a piece
of bread, dear? What, Kitty, are yon
taking pie and ice cream together? Re-
member Montreal, my child. Wife, do
eat that chicken; won't yon, my love?"
The etoat woman glanced at the few
remaining passengers bolting final
monthfuls, and then she cleared the bits
of chicken from her voice and said in ne
uncertain tones:
"Edward, you hain't eaten no dinner."
"Yes, I have."
"Yon haven't. You've buzzed around
too much to get a spoonful into yonr
mouth sideways."
"My dear," protested the small man
deprecattngly.
"Yonr hear," she insisted, "and now
we're almost there. You just drop ths
perlite business, Edward, and rustle fer
the meat and pertater like yon was at
home. Hear?"
He did.—New York Tribune.
