The Texas Democracy in I At the Gallia Last Night a
Rugbies and
Session at Ellis Hall.
Fort Worth, August IS.—The
convention was called to order at
noon by Chairman J. G. Dudley.
At that time all the delegates had
not found seats in the convention
hail and there was more or less
confasion for several minutes.
When order was iiually restored
Mayor Pro Tem Spoonts, in the
absence of Mayor Paddock, pro-
ceeded with his address of wel-
come.
At the conclusion of this ad-
dress Chairman Dudley made a
few remarks and then lead a list
of temporary ollicers selected by
the state executive committee con-
sisting of the following:
For chairman, R. M. Johnson,
editor of the Houston Post.
Secretary, J. J. Hall of Cass
county.
Assistant secretary, C. M.
Barnes of San Antonio.
Sergeant-at arms, Chief of Po-
lice Maddox of Fort Worth.
Assistant sergeant - at - arms,
Theodore Mack.
After the reading of these names
the convention was thrown into
an uproar by a speech made by
Mr. Foster of Victoria county,
who protested against the action
proposed to be taken. He wanted
George B. Pendletcu selected in-
stead of Johnston.
At the conclusion of Mr. Fos-
Suecess.
During the summer the differ-
ent church denominations have
provided a series of musicales for
the social benefit of their mem-
bers and the pecuniary benefit of
their charitable and other funds.
Whilst most of their entertain-
ments have been given at private
houses, some taking the form of
garden parties and some drawing
room entertainments, others have
taken place at the opera house.
One of the most brilliant of the
latter was given last night. A
fairly numerous, favorable and se-
lect audience gathered at The
Gallia to enjoy what was known
to oe an exceptionally fine enter-
tainment.
Nor were they disappointed.
Seldom has a brighter, purer and
more charming combination of
numbers been presented in
Gainesville. The program as pub-
lished was adhered to strictly, ex-
cept in the case of Prof. Cabell,
who, to the regret of everyone,
was prevented by sickness from
being present.
Mrs. Jake Brazelton provided
the overture by a finely executed
solo on the piano. The curtain
then rose, disclosing a terraced

number, pleasing the audienae
greatly with the rendering of a
recitation entitled ''The Gypsy

cutionist has an admirable voice
and style and great things may be
expected of her.
As a substitute for the duet
which she was announced to share
with Pi of. Cabell, Mrs. Harry Da-
vis gave a vocal solo in which she
surpassed even herself. Accom-

Then there was a lull for three
minutes, and Mayor Rice of Hous-
ton took the platform to second
Mr. Johnston's nomination. The
noisy scene of a few minutes pre-
vious was again enacted. Finally
Mr. Dudley yelled out if the noise
did not cease an adjournment
would be taken at once. Order
was again restored and the vote
on the committee's report was
proceeded with.
Before the counties had been
polled Pendleton's friends with-
drew his name and Johnston was
declared elected unanimously.
