VIEWS ON HARMONY.
Discussion of the Governor's Speech
Does Not Indicate a Rush to
His Platform.
Clarkites Maintain the Split Was Not Over Men
but Principles—Objection to the Basis
of Representation.
!f\
Fort Worth. Tex., Jan. 29,-Gov. Hogg's
Dallas ipeech has been the principal topic
of discussion about the street* and in the
hotel corridors to-day. While on his rounds
h New* man gathered expressions regard-
ing it from leading and well known cit-
izens as follows:
Hon. A. Jl. Carrlgan <ll"gg), Wichita
Falls—I fqar there will never be harmony
on lines Indicated by <»ov. Hogg's speech.
To have harmony the people must Ignore
leaders on both sides and just get together.
1 voted for Gov. Hogg and recognize the
Baker committee, but to secure harmony it
Will in my opinion be necessary to Ignore
leaders on both sides.
T. J. Powell (Clark)—The speech was an
admirable vindication of Hogglsm from the
standpoint of the chief actor. Not a word
was said by the governor, though, in refer-
ence to the national administration. How-
ever, he vindicates the position of the
Clark men who left the Houston conven-
tion after the adoption of the platform, and
now in effect makes the same speech that
Dudley Wooten so eloquently presented
arjainst adopting the silver plank bv the
Houston convention, to-wlt, that national
issues should be left to the consideration
of congress. 1 hope for harmony. He-
lleve some of the suggestions made by the
governor to be wise and patriotic, but
don't think that the basis of representation
in the next convention should be made the
Hogg vote in 18SK). There should be a
democratic party in Texas which stands
pquarely with the national ,adininistratIon
In its efforts to give the country a sound
currency and complete the system of re-
form in tariff and governmental expend-
itures. including a reduction of the pension
rolls to its legitimate basis and the main-
tenance of American manhood and Integrity
in our dealings with other foreign powers.
Hon. H. M. Chapman (Clark)—I have
read Gov. Hogg's speech. Every attorney
In the state would gladly compromise his
clients' suits on lines indicated by the
governor—that is, have the other fellow
concede all you want.
B. J. Houston (Clark)—Give us harmony
without a sacrifice of democratic prin-
ciples. The Cleveland vote in 1892 and an
indorsement of the democratic administra-
tion Is the true basis for harmony.
Hon. J. W\ Smith, Johnson county,
[Clark]—I am chairman of the democracy
in my precinct. The governor's speech, if
Intended to secure harmony, in my opinion
falls far short of Its object. I want har-
mony, but it must be secured upon demo-
cratic, and not populistic, lines, as would
be the case were the governor's suggestion
to take existing conditions in 1890 as a
basis. I expect to be present at the meet-
ing of the state democratic executive com-
mittee in Dallas Thursday.
Hon. T. T. D. Andrews (Hogg]—The gov-
ernor's speech was a manly, patriotic anu
honest appeal for harmony in the ranks of
the demoeracv. It strikes me that his
plan is the ieast objectionable yet pro-
posed, and democrats should promptly
adopt it. I certainly have no feeling
against any man who voted for Judge
Clark. I knew and appreciate the fact
that numbers of the stanchest democrats
In the state supported him in 1S92. I never
have and never will be heard to question
their democracy. I think, however, that
ail true democrats can consistently accept
his plan for unity and should do it. I
don't care who calls the next state con-
vention. A joint call for all conventions-
state. county and precinct—would not be
objectionable to me, although I recognite
the Baker committee as being the repre-
sentatives of the regular democracy of
T!fon! Thomas F. West [Clark]-Gov.
Hogg's speech will not accomplish the ob-
ject for which it is claimed to have been
delivered. I can't see the practicability of
harmony on any such lines as indicated by
him. It occurs to me that the so-called
democracy of Texas has fully determined
to surrender this state to the third party,
and, if this be the case, it might a£ well be
done at one time as another. The oppo-
nents of democracy could only remain in
power for two years. At the end of which
time the democrats would fully realize the
follv of further pursuing a course of com-
promise with their enemies. A union upon
eternal democratic principles would follow
and our adversaries be easily relegated to
the shades of oblivon. The democratic
party has a light to make in Texas, and
the sooner we accept the situation and
make it the better it will be for the state.
In conclusion 1 can only say that 1 adopt
George Aldredge's "duet."
Hon. M. A. Spoonts FClarkl—I can t
adopt Gov Hogg's suggestions in full He
outlines no policy to be pursued with ref-
erence to national Issues. There can be
but one just bnsls for harmony, and that
includes an indorsement of the national
democratic platform and the taking of the
Cleveland vote of 1892 as a basis upon
■which to regulate representation and test
the party fealty of those who desire af-
liliation with us. In 1890 a large majority
of the third partyites supported Gov. Hogg,
and hence I cannot accept that vote as a
bosis of union and harmony. Surely it
will not be contended that persons other
than democrats voted for Cleveland in 1892.
Such being the case, why not adopt that
vote known by all to be pure, as a basis
for our action this year. Let the Cleveland
vote be adopted as a basis for our repre-
sentation and both sides join in calling the
various conventions ol the party and I teel
sure a declaration of principles can be
formulated satisfactory to all democrats
•who have the best interests of the party

Jlnes upon which hopes for harmony can be

I have read Gov. Hogg s speech. The at-
titude of the Hogg leaders and their so-
called harmony talk reminds me of a little

attend a Methodist conference and would
bring some preachers home to dinner. Ihe
old man hustled about and got up a fine

one little redheaded, hood-nosed, bow-legtred

old man asked the parson to have some

J. b. Roberts (Clark), editor Fort Worth
Evening Mall: "I fail to see anything in
Gov. Hogg's speech or in: his suggestions
that will be palatable to those of his op-
ponents in the last campaign who made
the fight against him on principle. He evi-
denced in all he said that he was as un-
compromising as he was in the heat of the
campaign of 1892. While he pretends to
desire harmony there is not one suggestion
in all he said that is calculated to invite
it. His recommendation that the Clark
men obey the call of the Hogg state com-
mittee 1 hardly think will be acceptable.
I do not believe it will be acted on. He de-
mands every concession made to his side
and will grant none. As for myself I have no
«ijcuse to offer for my action in the past,
antl if a better plan than that suggested
by Gov. Hogg Is not submitted I will be
content to stay where I am—in the ranks
of the true democratic party of Texas. I
have no desire for a place that will have
to be secured through a sacrifice of every
principle of democracy, and which will
place the Clark democrats In the position
of mere helpers or lackeys to the dominant
faction. I still have hopes, however, that
Borne plan will be submitted acceptable to
all reasonable men in both factions. There
U one thing tn the governor's speech that
I wa» glad to j'ead and that was his an-
nouncement that he will retire to private
life."
Judge J. C. Randolph (Hogg)—I have
read Gov. Hogg's address and it is, In my
opinion, as generous as the most exacting
person desiring harmony should wish. I
am in favor of adhering to the custom of
the past and taking the vote cast for the
democratic nominee for governor in 1852
as the basis of representation. However,

permit my desire* in that particular to
stand In the way of reconciliation. The
proposition that every democrat, regardless
of past difference!, snail participate In the
primaries and be received alike In other
respects should be accepted by all as a
solution of the existing trouble. 1 feel
sure that the great body of those demo-
crats with whom I affiliated In the last
campaign will resent any other attempt
that might be made to excite hostility to-
ward those democrats who differed from
us in 1S9Z, but are now willing to Join us
on equal terms in fighting a common foe.
Whatever may be the outcome of the ten-

as to the result of the election tills fair.

It, our leaders are not making an effort

there Is no substantial difference between

BACK DOOR DEMOCRACY.
Hon. W. Polndexter Reviews Gov. Hogg's
Dallas Harmony Speech.
Cleburne, Tex., Jan. 29.—The News re-
porter called upon the Hon. W. Polndexter
to-day and asked his opinion of Gov. Hogg's
speech and the prospeots for a reunion of
the two wings of the Texas democracy. In
reply he said:
"While th« governor's speech has an air
of conservatism about It, yet considering
the occasion and the proposed purpose in
view in its delivery, it was, in my opinion,
a complete failure. It Is absolutely void of
practical utility or suggestion in that di-
rection. The people of Texas were fully ad-
vised touching the issues involved in the
last campaign, both before and after the
split at Houston, and they know what
questions have been settled and how they
were settled. That part of (he governor's
speech trenching upon the discussion of
thrse question has In my judgment no prac-
tical application to the question he has
been invited to discus*. The same might
be said of flirt professed resolve to abso-
lutely refuse to further serve the people of
Texas in the QApauitV of United States sen-
ator or otherwise, beoaqnn his personal am-
bition 1WS been fully grfttltt«d. What has
this to do with the great qupstlon at issue?
We might eliminate both Gov. Hogg and
JudgU Clark from Texas politics and still
tha question would remain, how are the
two wings of tht Texas democracy to be
reunited?
"The parts wan torn in twain upon great
principles of democracy, party methods and
practices. The split was inevitable and it
came. We must take the Bituatlon as we
find it. The Idea of the governor seems to
be that through personal animosity to him
a few men, in pursuance of a preconcerted
scheme, bolted the carstable convention at
Houston and now that he Is no longer at
the service of the people of Texas that
wing of the party to which he belongs
should take t'hese bolters back without ask-
ing any questions, and thus restore har-
mony. The governor Is mistaken. The
split was not over men, it was over princi-
ples and methods of more importance to the
democrats of Texas than the personal am-
bitions of the politician. As a result we
have two political organizations, eaob com-
plete and perfect from head to foot, from
foot to head, and each claiming to be the
democratic party of Texas. At the head of
one we lind Mr. Matlock, at the 'head of the
other Mr. Baker. It is the duty of each of
tlliese gentlemen to preserve intact and per-
fect the organization of the party over
which they and their respective commit-
t.*-H preside. That t'hey will do it no one
should doubt for a moment, othewise they
would prove recreant to the trust reposed
in them. Neither has the right or power
to disband his party organization nor to
surrender it to the opposition. Each is the
servant and not the master of his party.
The duties of each are well known and
clearly defined. Each can direct in matters
of party organization or advise as to party
policy. But neither can make a party plat-
form nor dictate party policies. Each can
call his executive commititee together and
these committees can discuss plans and
propositions of reconciliation and union. If
any definite plan should be reached and
formulated this could be submitted to their
respective primaries, county conventions,
etc., called to meet at tlhe same time for
ratification or rejection.
"I was in hopes the governor would dis-
cuss this question and submit some tangible
plan by which a union could be worked out
upon honorable terms and recognized prin-
ciples- This he did not even attempt to do.
Aside from his review of t'he causes pre-
cipitating the split in the party, which, by
the way, were very Inaccurate and incor-
rect from start to tinis'h, and the informa-
tion that he was too poor to serve the peo-
ple in the capacity of United States sena-
tor, the whole of his speech might be
summed up in two words—'git together.'
This is certainly most desirable, provided
the union could be obtained upon honorable
terms and a platform of recognized prin-
ciples of democracy in touch and in har-
mony with the national democracy.
"Tlfere is no use in talking about an ill-
advised, mechanical union of Incongruous,
discordant elements for the purpose of cap-
turing a few olliees. Such a union would
be so dishonorable and contemptible that it
would merit, if it did not receive, universal
condemnation, and would eventually prove
not only barren of, but disastrous in results.
Nor is there any use of talking about the
back doors of the Hogg wing of the democ-
racy being open to tlhe Clark wing. The
rank and file of the Clark wing know this
without being told. They know that all the
doors and windows are and have been open
with a good deal of the weatherboarding off
and part of the frame work knocked out for
some time. They know also that they have
a party of their own in full touch with the
national democracy, and they are not going
to abandon their party and principles for
the sake of temporary success. The Clark
wing of the democracy Is, In my opinion,
ready for a union upon honorable terms and
recognized democratic principles and will
no doubt meet the Hogg wing on halfway
ground and discuss the basis of such union,
and if practicable will Join In the reorgani-
zation of the party throughout the state.
"It has occurred to mc that a suggestion
from the governor to the effect that the
executive committees of the respective or-
ganizations meet together and appoint a
committee composed of such men as ex-
Senator Maxey, Col. D. C. Giddings, ex-
Gov. Roberts and ex-Gov. Ireland, all tried,
trusted and conservative democrats, and
let them formulate a plan of union to be
considered by t)he committees and by them
referred to the primaries and conventions of
their respective organizations for considera-
tion, might have been very timely.
"As the matter now stands with two dis-
tinct organizations in the state the lines of
battle are drawn and the forces are In the
field, and unless some practical plan of
union emanating from the executive com-
mittees of the respective organizations is
formulated at an early date, the fight will
certainly be on. And we will as certainly
see seperate conventions 'held for all pur-
poses throughout the state and a full ticket
put in the field by each wing of the democ-
racy for ail offices as that we will see corn
and cotton growing on Texas farms. We
have war now, what we need is peace, and
thds can only be obtained Upon equal and
honorable terms, and through the medium
of the respective executive committees and
bv means of a plan of union to be thus sub-
mitted to the rank and file of the two wings
of the democracy. The question must final-
ly be settled bv the democracy In conven-
tion assembled. There ought to be no trou-
ble in democrats uniting and rallying around
the standard of true democracy, and I hope
yet that some tangible, authoritative plan
wdll be devised and submitted, and thus give
democrats a chance to stand together In
Texas. These are my views and mine alone,
as I do not propose to speak for anyone ex-
cept myself."
OPINION AT CORSICANA.
Corsicana. Navarro Co., Tex., Jan. 29.—
The News man propounded the following
questions to several gentlemen to-day:
1. What do you think of Gov. Hogg's
speech on "Harmony?" 2. Do you think it
will result in good for a united democracy?
H. h. Molloy (Hogg man) said: "It was
a good speech, but most too conservative.
I don't believe anything will ever be said
or done that will cause the leaders of the
Clark faction to even want harmony, much
less accept terms that would bring about
harmony." _ , ,
Alderman J. H. WoodB (Clark.): It was a
good speech and very conservative. I
think it »IU a uttma «a4 «U1
servatlve and he should hnvo laid down the
law and told who died for them. With
the rank and file of the Clark following
harmony has been In existence for «om«
time and thev are all right and will rally
to the old democratic bugle notes when
Hounded, but the leaders, men who are
opposed to an Income tax, bounty on sugar,
stale banks, the free and unlimited culn-
Hgo of stl.er, as well as innny other dem-
ocratic questions that the south and west
are a unit on. there Is no such tiling as
harmony In them, no matter what the reg-
ulars were to propose."
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Martin (pop.): "The
speech was prolific of words but did not
touch tile question of harmony."
(J. It. Washburn of Kerens (('lurk): "lie
missed the subject entirely as I under-
stand It." , ...
G. R. Carr (Clark): "The speech did
not hit the question In high places."
A. Zadek (rep.) : "It was a good speech
from his standpoint. I like Gov. Hogg as
a man and think Ills speech Will do good."
Judge J. I- Harle (pop.): "My opinion
Is that the speech was a complete dodge of
the Issue of 1892. The fight was on the
railroad commission and he did not discuss
that subject, lie made another bad break
when he closed his speech by u recogni-
tion of the Waller Baker committee us
the head of the only democratic executive
committee.'
HOGG AND HOGGISM.
Hon. J. J. Butts Sums Up and Analyzes
the Governor's Speech.
Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 29.— Replying to
questions, Hon. J. J. Butts said to
The News reporter: "As I under-
stand Gov. Hogg's speech there Is noth-
ing In It that was said for the purpose of
bringing about harmony In the party, or
that can. In the least, tend In that direc-
tion. He discusses none of the Issues In-
volved In the last campaign and does not
even refer to them. In that spirit of ego-
tism so characteristic of the governor he
assumes that he was the Issue—the rock
upon which the ship of democracy went
to pieces. It would seem that he Is not
able to distinguish between Hogg and
Hogglsm. And while the governor very
cheerfully ascends the funeral pyre which
he has erected and offers himseif as a vol-
untary sacrifice that harmony may pre-
vail. at the same time his utterances plain-
ly manifest his intention to shackle the
people with the fetters of Hogglsm. The
governor should have reversed things,
that is If he really desires harmony, and
proposed the abolition of Hogglsm and the
survival of Hogg. So far as I know the
democrats of this state are Indifferent as
to whether the governor retires to the en-
iovment of that lucrative practice he
abandoned when he tendered fits services
to the people or continues an active solic-
itor for public favors. This Is a matter
with which the people just now have no
concern. • I do not wish to be under-
stood as impugning the motives of the gov-
ernor: he may honestly believe that he is
the disturbing element In the party, and
that he has only to get out of the road
and let the harmonious army pass peace-
tully by, I think him capable of believing
this, and he may. But he Is mistaken.
"With the exception of getting out of
the way he only offers one solution for
all our ills, that is to take the vote of 1890
as a basis of representation in the next
state convention. He would have us feed
and groom the Trojan horse which he led
into the democratic camp In 1890, out of
the bowels of which sprung the very
Hogglsm that has disrupted the party.
This Is all verv well and good for the gov-
ernor: he rode this very same Trojan
horse to victory on two different occasions;
rode it to the top rung of his ambition's
ladder: and it i3 but mete and proper that
he should wish to see it well and comfort-
ably provided for in its declining years.
This shows that the governor, at least, Is
not destitute of common gratitude; but
the democratic party Is under no obliga-
tions to this hybrid moster and I, for one,
am in favor of extending it no courtesies.
Representation in a democratic conven-
tion, precinct, county, district or state,
should be based upon a democratic vote,
not upon a populist, republican or mongrel
vote.
"Summed up and analyzed, the gov-
ernor's speech would indicate that he is
for harmony in the party, provided the
democrats will servilely subscribe to such
doctrines as Sir Waller and his followers
may proclaim, and vote for such candi-
dates as they put In the field. To those,
if anv such there be, who voted the demo-
cratic ticket at the last election simply
because Gov. Hogg headed the ticket put
In the field bv the car stable party, nls
solution of the problem may be both sat-
isfactory and acceptable; but I fail to see
how his utterances can have the least ef-
fect upon those whose action was the re-
sult of principle and conviction. The
troubles that now beset us are the result
of sacrificing principle for expediency. Had
the campaign of 1890 been fought upon
principles and for principles; had none
but democrats been pA-mitted to partici-
pate in the deliberations of the convention
of the party there would have been no
split. If we are to have a democratic par-
tv in the state it must be organized upon
and reDresent democratic principles, und
be run by democrnts. There must be no
sacrifice or compromise of principle, no
Dandering to Isms; and democracy, not ex-
pediency, must be the battle cry.
"Of course I am for harmony; all true
democrats are: but It must be a harmon-
ious democracy, not a banding together of
discordant elements for the mere sake of
soolls. I would like to see every democrat
In the state marshaled under a democratic
banner, standing upon a democratic plat-
form and marching to victory under a
democratic leader. No member of the par-
ty would enjoy this more than I; and If
Gov. Hogg has the welfare of the people
and state at heart, as he would have us
believe he has, he should have laid down
the principles upon which he and those
whom he represents are ready and will-
ing to join us in the coming contest. Upon
the whole, I think his speech a mere
"sounding brass or tinkling cymbal."
SHIRLEY'S PLAN.
Anna, Collin Co., Tex., Jan. 29.—[To The
News.]—Democratic harmony without
humiliation to either side of the family is
the need. No plan that has been offered
that I have seen will accomplish this de-
sirable end, but this plan I think if acted
upon in good faith will work out such a
result.
Let the Matlock meeting at Dallas en-
vite the Hogg state executive committee
to join tihe Clark state executive commit-
tee In calling the state convention and let
the members of lxith executive committees
vote as to time and place of the meeting
of the convention, leaving each county to
decide for itself whether the basis of rep-
resentation shall be the vote for governor
In 1890 or the vote for Cleveland In 1892.
Let the call be an Invitation to all demo-
crats "to come together" and not either
side undertake to say on what terms the
other "may come back."
There is "no come back ln.it;" there
did exist an honest difference upon prin-
ciple and neither side can or should im-
pose upon the other anything that smacks
of confession or humiliation. I.et the
whole question of platform or principles
be relegated to the convention when It
meets or let the call simply pledge all
participants In the local conventions to
support the national platform and further
to support the state platform when for-
mulated in regular convention and also
to support the nominees of the party,
state, congressional and county.
Thus in brief it seems is a plan suggested
by whl'ch the two wings may Hop together
in harmony without any humiliation or
dirt eating by either.
Still further In a spirit of harmony I
would suggest that the convention in
makin® nominations for state offices divide
the list between the supporters of Hogg
and Clark as the national administration
has done. If this line of conduct be fol-
lowed in good faith I think no one can
question but that the state convention will
be harmonious and the party firmly re-
united. T. M. SHIRLEY.

who played an important part In a famous
tragedy and whose life for twenty yearj
has been a blank. In 1874 Thomas Fall
killed Oliver Ellison. Fair disappeared, at
Indictment for murder having been found
against him. Ever since that day Elison'i
relatives have been on the trail of Fall
and have scoured the country for him, and
yet for thirteen years he has been right
in the heart of Mllledgeville. immediately
after the killing he iled, going to Louisiana,

night and ever since has been here, though
not a soul outside of his Immediate family

RUN DOWN.
I/Ufkln, Tex., Jan. 81.—On last Sunday
right at Mlchelll, nine miles north of this
place, on the Houston East and West
Texas railroad, Drue Edwards, colored,
shot and instantly killed Martin Bold, also
colored, the ball taking effect Just under
the left eye. As soon as Edwards did the
shooting Iw fled in the direction of I.ogans-
port, l.a., tlhe former home of the deceased
and slayer, but was followed by Constable
J. S. Roberts, who overtook him at Apple-
by, in Nacogdoches county, and captured
him, but not till his running qualities had
been thoroughly tested, as Edwards had
to be taken by running him down, it
seems from letters about deceased that a
woman was the cause of the trouble.

POND'S EXTRACT
Have the early frosts or too late a lin-
gering by the garden gate again aroused
that RHEUMATISM so peacefully
slumbering the summer long? Well, if
it's very bad you must change your diet
and perhaps take some distasteful drug
—the doctor will tell you what—but first
rub thoroughly the part afflicted with
POND'S EXTRACT, then wrap it
warmly with flannel, and the rheuma-
tism may wholly disappear. It will cer-
tainly be much relieved. Now that you
have the POND'S EXTRACT try it for
any of the many things its buff wrapper
mentions. It's a wonderful curative.
But don't accept substitutes.
