Their
Tempi*, Tex., Oct.. l.-IIon. George Clark,
democratic nominee for governor, was tho
guest nf Temple yesterday. He arrived early
in the afternoon from Brownwood, where
Thursday he addressed n monstrous crowd.
The monotony of the trip from Brownwood
here was relieved by one spceeh only twenty
minutes long, delivered by Judge Clark at
Goldthwaite. The station is a regular eating
station, so the train was not stopped purpose-
ly to give Judge Clark a chanee to make a
speech. Anyhow there were several hundred
people out. Mounted on a dry goods box, the
little democrat gave then Jeffersonian democ-
racy, pure and unadulterated. The time at
his disposal was too limited to allow Judge
Clark to go into a discussion of the merits of
the is?ues. His brief talk, however, was
loudfy applauded. ,
Arriving here Judge Clan; was met at tho
depot by a committee from the < lark e.uo
and many other citizens and escorted to the
Exchange hotel. During the balance of tho
liav the boys poured in on tho man they love,
while those that did not come were preparing
to deafen the entire population tor miles
around with fireworks at night. .
The fireworks fellows were as good as heir
word. They made Home howl for nivlnle.
They fired anvils and cracUers anil nearly
everything else likely to make a fuss, lhe
bands played and men, women and children
flocked to the opera-house.
Entering the building you saw a arge
streamer reaching clear across the stage hear-
ing the magical slogan, "Turn Texas Loose.
Then in various pluocs around this center-
piece were arranged other streamers express-
ing the sentiment of the people, the demo-
cratic people of Belt county. One li'tid,
''Cleveland for president, Clark for governor;
the watchword is pure democracy." Another,
"Democracy is free and does not, need police
protection." But aside from this politics, the
good ladies had converted the stage into a
bower of beauty. Evergreens mid flowers
bridged up tlie gap between politics and senti-
ment. , . ,
The size of the crowd was variously
estimated, varying from "10 to 1500. lhe
persons claiming to be in a position to know
divert that 120tl would be about the proper
figure. The middle section was reserved lor
the ladies, of which more than 100 were
present. On the stage were all tho commit-
tees of the dark club and dozens of old,
gray-haired prosperous farmers, like Messrs.
entton and the national convention on thesil-
vo, question to show that the national conven-
tion after » full, free and fair hearing declared
the <;r> cent dollar which tho Hogg platform
advocated to be not only undemocratic but a
fraud and every democrat in the United States
was morally bound to acquiesce in that de-
cision. This was no small matter. If tho
II<vl- men, calling themselves democrats, can
rebel against the national authority and carry
on open warfare against the nation,, ,.la -
form. what will prevent the democrats of
Massachusetts rebelling against the force bill
pintsk or the democrats of Pennsylvania from
rebelling against the tarill plank. Such a
course could only result in the abso ute dls ti-
tcarat'ofi of t.lie democratic party in tlie
United Slates. "How would it sound if the
democrats of any of the states should meet
and declare the national convention sittled
this or that question, but did not settle it ac-
cotiling to our notions and they were not gomj.
to abide tin national utterance.
"C.mey," "Coney," "Cuney," yelled a man
sitting 10 the left of the stage, while hisses
tame from all parts of the house. „
"i have heard a good deal about Cunej,
said Judge Clark, "but I never heard of him

in a large number of counties in this

A few minutes past 8 o clock Judge Clark
entered the opera-house. His oppearanee was
the signal for great cheering from every
corner of the building.
Mr. P. L. Downs introduced the speaker in
a few remarks to the etlect that Clark was the
only democratic nominee iu Texas. When
Judge Clark rose he was again cheered, lie
began. „„ .... .
Ladies and fellow citizens: I he condition of
political affaiis in Texas to-day demands the
most thoughtful consideration at the hands of
every democrat and of every citizen. 1? or the
first time in many years, it not within the his-
tory of Texas, tho condition of parties de-
mand from every citizen his own individual
judgment. Heretofore we have been accus-
tomed to relegate to the rear our own views
and opinions upon political matters and
trusted to the ipse dixit, of our leaders, be-
lieving fully in our iiearts that they would
lead us forward in the pathways of true
democracy, but to-day what leader shall we
follow? Whose voice shall we heed? From
whose mouth shall we take the gospel of pure
democracy? The old party has been rivon
asunder. Why, we need not now discuss, but
accept it as a situation patent to the least in-
telligent among us. We are forced by the
necessities of the situation, each democrat in
Texas, to determine for himself what is best
for the prosperity and glory of this grand state
and for the democracy of Texas.
It is possible that this may not be an un-
mixed evil. "God moves in a mysterious way
his wouders to perform." Storms come and
the lightnings tlar.li and the thunders roll, but
when this is over the atmosphere is purified.
So in politics storms are sometimes produc-
tive of the most gratifying results. Perhaps
after all it may be well that we have split into
two factions, "because our people are com-
pelled to go back and delve deep in the prin-
ciples of human liberty, which are the prin-
ciples of democracy; to come back to the old
altar of political faith and hear again those
eternal truths our fathers taught us when wo
were children. Therein lies our only hope.
I stand here to-night to represent the only
democratic party now living m lexas. I
stand with perfect charity toward all of my
fellow-citizens who see fit to differ with me,
for that is their privilege, i have no malice
in my heart toward any living man and with
abuse fo? no one. I shall not follow the ex-
ample of a distinguished United States sena-
tor who recently characterized mo and those
who think with me as traitors, and not worthy
to Jive. Thank God, as Daniel \Vebster said,
■we still live and let me say to him that after
tne 8th of next November we will bo revivified
■with the doctrines and principles oi eternal
democracy and we are going to keep on living.
Judge Clark then paid his respects to the
Hogs platform. The silver plank in the na-
tional platform and the silver plank in the
Hogg platform were compared arid he asked
his hearers, as reasonable, thinking people, i
the conclusion was not inevitable that the car-
stable convention had deliberately and inten-
tionally slapped the national democracy in
the face.
"How are we to judge a democrat: asked
the speaker. "Is it by the collar he wear
I have heard a good deal lately about collar
democrats, brass-collar democrats. Bra;
collars were never made fur democrats. They
"were made for slaves and sometimes for do,
but never for free men. Brass collars! Talk
to me about a democrat wearing anybody'
collar! Why, it implies that a man has no
thought of his own ; no ideas of his own ; no
convictions of his own. but he must swallow
everything thrown at him by the bosses
poor hungry dog swallows a bone thrown at
at him by a tramp."
Continuing his argument, Judge Clark
Tnaintained that no democrat in Texas
anywhere else had questioned one single sen
fence in the Turner hall platform, because
no man could do it. Old JeSernon himself
■were he aiive to-day, would commend ev» ry
•word as the very essence of democracy. The
Hogg platform is a heterogenous mixture of
a little of everything. There is a Urge pile of
demagogy, a littlo anarchy and th'*y actually
clipped in the back door of the third party
house in the dead hours of night and stole
their property. It was a notification to the
democrats in other states that we, the Hogg
democrats, repudiate the action the nation"
al democrat! convention and propose to bet
up a little democratic party of our own here
in Texas. t
He reviewed the work of the Lamnasas con-

mixture, promulgated by the car staoieccm j ,,
vention, out of their mouths and have said:
'By the eternal we intend to stand by the
national platform as to pi-incip.es and candi-
dates.' The national convention decided all
federal questions for us and their decision
stands as the decision of the party and the man
who refuses to abide by it is a bolter and a
disrupter, he he Gov. Hogg or lticnard Coke,
United States senator." | Here he read again
the silver plank in the Hogg platform.J Uo
you know where that plank came frotiif lie
asked and then continued r "1 am satisfied
Senator Coke does. Do you know who weie
the original bolters from the democratic
party? It was our senators and repre-
sentatives iu congress who, after the
decision of the national convention on the
silver question voted for a free coinage bill
at the present rato, thereby defying national
authority, and now you are asked to apply
salve to their wounds. Don t say George
Clark was the original bolter. It started at
Washington and .Jim Hogg kept up the good
work ill our county conventions till, when
they got to Houston, it had become epidemic,
a regular hog cholera affair started by men
who should have died m defense of demo-
cratic principles, but they trampled their duty
under their feet and now come back and
charge us with being bolters and disrupters of
democracy, when we stand squarely upon
every line in the national platform and are
ready to give our lives for those principles.
Sneaking of the wildcat bank plank in the
Hci'g platform Judge Clark said: And a tor
the thousands of people they have wrecked
and the thousands ol hearts they have broken,
alter the widespread demoralization and
bankruptcy they have caused we are invited
bv this car stable gathering to permit them to
repeat the operation and once more bless us
with the same condition of affairs. I'or my-
self 1 decline to accept the invitation, lam
thoroughly opposed to the subtreasury, but
so Help me God if I am forced to choose be-
tween wildcat state banks and the sub-treas-
ury I will take the sub-treasury every time.
I Cheers from the third parly folks.J lie to.il
how oid Jefferson in his old age, after a long
life of glorious service to his country and to
the cause of human liberty, had been reduced
to Absolute beggary through the iniquitous
operations of state banks. Give us good
money," said ho, "money that will pass in
Maine or California or Texas, money that
bears the stamp of my government, tliu only
sovereignty in America having the power to
make money. I want a dollar that is worth a
dollar to-day and next week and next year,
an iionest dollar."
Judge Reagan's graduated income tax
planlTwas the next number on the programme.
"I started out to say they borrowod tliis from
the third party," said ,1 udge Clark, "but 1 ex-
terd the remark. They stole it. [More
ceers from the third party boys.J 1 have
heard of an income tax. We tried that dur-
ing the war as an extreme war measure. 1
gay we_i mean the government because at
that time 1 was not on very friendly terms
with the United States of America. It proved
a most miserable failure. Old Sam laden,
the la<t of the great democrats, declared lie
would never pay it and the oid mail stood up
iu the courts and fought it and gained the
victory and he is the only man who hasi ever,
single-handed, whipped the whole United
States." He pictured tho system of govern-
mental espionage such a law builds up, an
army of spies armed with tho authority ol the
government to pry into a man s business nf-
fairs and home affairs# They said this plank
was put in the platform for the purpose of
catching .lay Gould. If wo could catch Jay
he might be willing to shut his eyes to it but
Jay was too smart for us. This tax, like other
taxes, never fall on the very rich. 1 hey al-
ways fall upon the honest, industrious labor-
ing people of the government.
"We have to meet this brass collar argu-
ment." said Judge Clark. "We have to meet
the argument that Mr. Hogg is the regu.ar
nominee. Who made him the regular nom-
'"a"voice—'What did Roger Q. Mills say?
Clark—Roger swallowed too much llogg
about a month ago and has been sick ever
since. The truth of the matter is, 1 am sat-
isfied, that silver plank was made to drive
Roger over to us, but Roger fulfilled Dr.
Carroll's prediction, made years ago, and be-
came "Roger the dodger." He opened his
mouth and look in Reagan, Chilton, Hogg
and everybody else they threw at him, anil
waited for more. Good-bye, Roger! We hnve
known you and loved you a long time, out
good-bye, old fellow, good-bye.
Continuing Judge Clark said: "Mr. Hogg
went to Houston wi'h twenty-three votes less
than the requisite majority. He went there a
defeated candidate. How were those votes
supplied? I will not allude to the fact that
perhaps in this county, 1 know it was so
my own, they rung in some of your third par-
ty boys on us. The third party people say
they voted for Hogg in tho primaries, because
he was the eastest man to beat. 1 leave that
and come to Houston. Take the rolls as they
stood on the morning that convention was
called io order. How could they supply the
deficiency and get enough votes to nominate
Hogg? Only by fraud. That was the cause
of Mr. Fin ley's ruling and Mr. Fmley's con-
duct. They were secure in the knowledge
that their case was desperate, and
without desperate remedies their man
was gone. In my own county it was re-
ported, and I have no doubt you have heard
it because it was spread all over this broad
state, that my neighbors wanted to condemn
me and refuse to indorse my candidacy. Ihey
said I could not carry my own ward in the
city of Waco. They demanded that I go be-
fore the people of McLennan county in a pri-
mary election. I accepted the challenge
gladly and in the primary election where the
polls were kept open from 8 o'clock in the
morning to fi o'clock iu the evening, and
where many who were not democrats vc;?d,
I beat Mr. Hogg many hundred votes in Mc-
Lennan county. Iu the ward in which Mr.
Waller S. Baker resides of a vote of b.%
I only carried the ward by 478 majority.
What was the result? Mr. Baker very promptly
bolted and pulled out a little doctor with
him, whose name I have forgotten. Then
they went to the calaboose and got out a poor
feliow who was in there for being drunk.
This fellow 'jiued' that band, and these three
men held their convention and proceeded in
the most solemn manner and in the name of
God and liberty to protest against the domi-
nation of a clear majority of 47* votes in the
ward. They went up to the county conven-
tion and Baker bolted again, mak'Dg twice in
one week, and sent a bolting delegation to
Houston, and in the face of the facte, as I
had J udge" lUcCorm'iek appointed. "How are
vou going to get a commission i he asKed.
"Well, I will tell you. You will send your
wisest and best men down to Austin next win-
ter and they will come down to the executivo
oliice in tho capitol and confer with me and
we will fix up a commission law that when 1
sign it will resist every court ou earth. \ou
tried Hogg on that commission and he proved
incompetent and common sense would leach
you to get somebody else to do the job right.
They say: 'Don\ lot George Clark and his
gang get hold of the precious thing, they will
kill it. Great Jehovah will strike them dead
like he did a certain character in the bible.
We arc the fellows to give you the commis-
sion. We are 'the' friends of 'the' commis-
sion.' Away with such stuff. It is an appeal
unworthy the attention of an intelligent
man. _ , „ . . ,
"Coke says thank God for such a leader as
Hogg. When the people of Texas elected
Hogg and sent him to Austin they instructed
him to prepare an alien land law and see that
it. was passed for the purpose of protecting
the people. Hogg went down there and when
his alien land law came out it was so shocking
to every principle of justico that it drove
$150,000,000 ill actunl values out of tho state
and kept out $250,00J,U00 more that wanted to
come in but was afraid. Vet Senator Coke
says thank God for such a leader. The very
first time that little alien land law struck a
court the court found that the bin did not
have a head to it. The people of Texas de-
manded the passage of a uniform text book
bill and they called upon Gov. Hogg to give
it to tliem and in duo time out came the bill
and the governor signed it and it got into the
state department and a little $40 clerk in lliero
found out that the lext book bill did not have
an enacting clause, but Senator Coke says
thank God for such a leader as that, lhe
people of Texas rose up ill their might and
said: "Wo will bridle the corporations ol
Texas by means of a commission and they
said: 'Come up Gov. Hogg and give it to us.
The governor would not let anybody else liavo
a finger in it. I don't believe he even con-
sulted George Pendleton about it. The com-
mission was born, it began operations, it
struck a court and down it went as violative
of the most sacred principles of human
liberty itself which have been taught
and practiced in this country for ages
and ages but which Gov. Hogg never had the
faintest conception of and yet Senator Coke
says "Thank God for such a loader as that.
And it came to pass that the governor had to
make some appointments in vacation includ-
ing railroad commissioners and other officers
and there stood the constitution of his state
telling him that every appointment made by
him must be sent to the senate within ten
days for confirmation, and if the legislature
be not ill session when the appointment is
made the nominations shall be sent in during
the first ten days of its next session, and the
legislature met and confirmed in session from
day to day for twenty days and they appointed
a committee to see what was the matter and
when that committee of the senate called on
the governor and sl\owed him the constitution
he said his attention had never been called
to that provision before. Here he was tramp*-
ling under foot the very provision of the con-
stitution which defines his duty, and Senator
Coko savs thank God for such a leader. Those
cases have brought shame and disrepute upon
the state and upon every citizen within tho
state. With confidence destroyed, with capi-
tal flown to other states where it will receive
the protection guaranteed it under the con-
stitution, industries ruined and progress
stopped, all due to James S. Hogg, Senator
Coke says thank God ior such a leader. I
say away with such hum buggery and such
nonsense. We are a progressive people, and
we are a just people. This is a grand
state. She should not be humiliated as
she has been by the ignorance of these men.
Texas will do right because it is right, and
she will protect every dollar brought here in
her midst, giving it the same measure of pro-
tection she gives the dollars of her own citi-
zens. Will you come as brave men and
thoughtful citizens, intelligent men who love
Texas and help us who have determined, with
the help of God, to raise her from the slough
of despond into which Hoggism has plunged
her and lift her up into the sunlight of peace,
plenty and prosperity? For this I have strug-
gled for many weary months. For this I am
willing to struggle for many weary years if
necessary. I am in this tight for Texas, and
so long as she needs my services she
shall have them, no matter to me whether it
be in victory or defeat. Meu have been going
about in this state for months teaching our
country friends that the town people were
their deadly enemies, appealing to every form
and variety of class prejudice and passion, and
all for what? That a few chronic ofticeseek-
ers and pap-suckers might get votes. But
their end is not far off, my brethren. The in-
dignation and condemnation of patriotic
democrats will retire them and then the occu-
pation of the demagogue will be gone, I hope,
never to return. The people of Texas are be-
coming aroused. From the Red River to the
gulf and from the Rio Grande to the Sabine
the boys are marching in solid phalanx, de-
termined that Texas shall once more have
wisdom and justice in her councils and he*
people will once more enjoy the blessings
of good old-fashioned democracy, so you
might as well come up and join in tho pro-
cession. Come on and we will unshackle this
grand commonwealth. Nobody is barred.
We have got the democrats and republicans
with us. We will take a Chinaman and a
Mexican and we might even, in a pinch, let a
Hogg man assist us in the glorious work wo
have undertaken for Texas.
"And now, fellow citizens, one word more
and I am through. We are going back to the
old landmarks of democracy. We
are going to lay all we have
upon the altar of a common
cause and when we get back to tho <»ld tem-
ple we are going to stand there till time itself
shall be no more. There was in the army
with me one of nature's noblemen. An orator
the equal of Cicero, as brave and heroic in
battle as Mars himself, the god of war. As
chivalrous and knightly a spirit as ever moved
upon this earth, ho combined at once all trie
qualities that make tho hero and the man. 1
remember that on one occasion when we were
drawn up in battle array the command to
charge was jiveri and this man in
his ragged uniform uttered a sentiment that
tired the heart of every patriot. Drawing
himself to his fullest height l|is voice rang
down the line: 'All who love liberty follow
me I' And I, standing before you to-night,
mindful of my own imperfections, conscious
of my faults, and they may be more numerous
than yours, recognizing that it is more by
force of circumstances than any special merit
of mine that I am leading thi- light, appeal to
every man, woman and child m Bell county
and in all this great state, for which we
would sacrifice our lives, who loves liberty to
follow me, for I tell you wo are k'olliK to win.
Whenever you see the women praying tor a
causc and God Almighty himself smilmgujjon
it, nothing on this eart h can drag it down.
Never at any stage of his canvass has Judge
Clark had such an etithustastic audience and
his friends say he made the linest speech tnat
ever fell from the lips of any man in lieu
couyty. Ho was accorded a flattering recep-
tion when ho had concluded.

confiscate them. We will regulate them or
we will put a negro president over every line

Tyler Hoggltes lletl Hot,
Tyler, Tex., Oct. 1,—At a meeting of the
Hogg club last night Mr. G. A. Mcllwaine.
law partner of Horace Chilton and one of the
slate executivo committeemen, addressed the
club and stated among other things that any
man claiming to be a democrat who voted or
worked for Georgo Clark or espoused his
cause was a renegade, a traitor, a miserable,
dirty wretch, a dog and hound and should bo
treated as such by every honest democrat.
That the republicans and third party people
were combining and affiliating with the Clark
people to defeat the will of organized democ-
racy, and that the whole were a liiongrol set
not entitled to the respect of decent people.
Mr. Onion, candidate for the legislature
and another law partner of Horace Chilton,
followed Mr. Mcllwaine and discussed ccunty
democracy.
Mr. John Durst, cna'rman of the ClRrk cen-
tral club of Smith county, who was present as
a spectator, asked Mr. Onion if he indorsed
the sentiments just delivered by the preceding
sneaker as 10 the Clark followers.
Mr. Onion said he did not indorse the words
as used by Mr. Mcllwaine,and then attempted
todefond the language, whereupon Mr. Mcll-
waine arose and slated that he had not re-
quested the gentleman to defend him; that he
was there to speak for himself; that he did say
the words and indorsed the sentiments and
proposed to stand by them.
Mr. Onion then closed his speech for organ-
ized democracy, the Hogg platform and de-
nounced any man who voted or worked for
George Clark as a traitor to democracy. That
he diu not care for the votes of those who op-
posed the Hogg ticket.
County Judge B. U. Beard, candldato for
re-election, then responded to numerous calls
nnd siar'c.d out to deliver a penco-makmg talk
on the issues. Being asked 'by Mr. John
Durst if lie denounced the Clark people as
not democrats and as traitors ho said he re-
garded them as acting unwisely, but being
finally goaded to the point by tlie Hogg man-
agers he fell into line and denounced every
Clark man and indorsed the sentiments of
the speakers who preeecded him. Ho re-
gretted, however, the departure of the Clark
people from the ranks of organized democ-
racy. ,
Air. Mcllwane said he had 110 regrets on
that score, was glad they were gone and
hoped they would ne. er come back.
Other candidates made speeches and were
whipped into lino by the Hogg managers and
declared for Hogg, denouncing the Clark
people as the others had done.
The issue is now squarely niailo in Smith
county. The Hogg managers are determined
to saerifieo every county candidate 111 order to
defeat Clark, and so the work rolls cn. The
Clark people are confident of carrying this
county for their candidate.
Political Pointers
Fobt Wokth, Tex., Oct. 1.—Last evening at
the courthouse Russell Kingsbury ol Wueo
delivered an address to about 200 people, in
which he scored the administration of Gov.
Hogg. It was not known that ho would speak
until a very late hour, in consequence of
which the crowd was not as large as it would
have been had the public been notified earlier.
It was understood that a joint discussion
would be had, but the friendB of Gov. Hogg
did not have any one present.
Chairman Matlock arrived here last niglit
from Amarillo, where he has been for a few
days engaged in transacting legal business.
He was at his desk bright and early this morn-
ing looking over the correspondence which
had accumulated auruig his absence.
Regarding the letter which W. H. Murray
states he received from ex-President Cleve-
land, Mr. Matlock authorizes The News
to say that he and his confreres are extremely
anxious to see Mr. Murray's letter and Mr.
Cleveland's reply. They look upon the state-
ment of Murray as a very weak political
scheme, which will act as a boomerang and
will, when probed to the bottom, fall liat and
establish the truth of the assertion that Mur-
ray knew when he announced the receipt of
Mr. Cleveland's letter and perverted its con-
tents that he was engaged iu an effort to mis-
lead and deceive tlie people of lexas. Mr.
Matlock further says that the only decent and
manly course for Murray to pursue is to pro-
duce the letter and not dodge behind its per-
sonal character with a view of continuing Ins
political trickery
DALLAS NOTES AND GOSSIP
MEftOHANTS1 COTTON AND PRODUCE
ASSOCIATION.
Progress of Preparations in the Various
Departments of the State Fair.
Commodore Miller,
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 2.—Mr. .T. F. Zang
reports that tho Merchants' Cotton and
Produce association will be ready for
business to-morrow morning. Tho com-
mittee has secured tho services of a weigher
and the warehouse and yards, between
Lamar and Austin streets, have beon secured
for storing the cotton. Mr. Zang added:
"The Merchants' Cotton and Produce asso-
ciation will be ready for receiving cotton to-
morrow and they will seo that the farmer twill
at least get as much for cotton as our adjoin-(
ing cities and towns are paying, and with the
free weishing, insurance, storage, sampling
and marking I think we will increase receipts
about 20,000 bales this season. This means
in round figures an increase in bank deposits
of about $70,0(X), which I think will bring
about good business this fall and winter.'
Passing down E'm street a News reporter
gleaned the following expressions from busi-
ness men on thesubjectof the now movement:
Mr. -J. B. Adouo said: "Anything that the
business men can do to benefit busiuess and
attract trade is a movement in tne right di-
rection." , , ,
Mr. M. Iraolson—I think the cotton and
produce movement is the right thing and it
meets with my hearty indorsement and sub-
stantial support.
Mr. Sam Mittonthal: "In my opinion the
co.ton and produce movement is one of tho
most practical and important that the mer-
chants of Dallas liavo taken hold of in a long
time. It will not only convince the fanners
that Dallas can do just as well 011 a cotton
market as other towns, but it will show them
that we invito their trade and nie willing to
offer them some inducements to coma here. I
hope that every citizen of the city will do his
best to further the interests of tho movement,
because it is for the interests of the city as
welins for the individuals taking hold of it.
It the retail merchants prosper real estate and
every other business will prosper. We hope
not to conflue our efforts to this particular
movement, but the association will do every-
thing possible for tho advancement of Dallas
in other ways than through the cotton busi-
ness."
Mr. S. R. Bloom—I think the Cotton and
Produce association is moving in the right di-
rection. In order to get tlie business started
and to get the trade and the cotton turned this
way 1 believe it would be u very good idea to
pay a premium on the first lot of cotton. It
is difficult for the merchants to buy cotton
here because they have so much territory to
cove:. \\ itli yards and the cotton once turned
this way the buyers will come. Where thore
are twenty-five or thirty buyers, all bidding
against each other, the farmor will get the
best price for his cotton. The little town of
Waxahachie, thirty miles south of here, last
year bought 116,000 bales of cotton from the
wagons. This comparatively large volume
of business, for a small town was the result of
a well established market and competition in
buying.
Mr. W. H. Mahaua—Its n good thing. Thero
is nothing like a little agitation now and then.
Mr. Geo. R. Holloway—The cotton market
movement is the beBt that could have been
started for the retail trade. More cotton,
more morney. A gentleman who was in
Richardson yesterday told me that ho sdw a
man thero with three bales of cotton on his
wagon who declared his intention of hauling
it home and bringing it to Dallas to-day.
simply because ho heard that Dallas was mak-
ing aii effort to re-establish her cotton mar-
ket. Restoration of the cotton and naviga-
tion of the Trinity will give Dallas a great
boost this fall.
Mr. B. P. Fakes—I think the movement to
restore the cotton market will result in good
to the city and it should receive the hearty
support of every citizen. It ought to result
in increasing the wagon receipts at Dallas
this fall at least 10,000 bales. It is said that
tiiere has been a want of buyers, but cotton
coming iu freely will bring plenty of them.
Dr. W. H, Howell—I think well of the
movement. We ought to do everything in our
power to turn the cotton crop into dollars.
Mr. J. S. Taylor—Dallas should receive
as much cotton as the smaller towns around
her. This movement of the business men and
relailers I hope and believe will restore the
market to its former pretentions when all
farmers in reach of Dallas brought their cot-
ton here.
State Fair Notes.
In 011c week from to-morrow, Monday Oct.
10, Mrs. Sydney Smith will go to the fair
grounds to receive the exhibits. Dallas ex-
hibitors, particularly, are requested to bring
their exhibits as early in tho week as possible,
so there will be ample time to arrange and
decorate the department. "Each exhibitor,
says Mrs. Smith, "wants good space, and all
articles hung to advantage, and in order to
secure this the exhibits must be there in time.
One of the attractions in the ladies' depart-
ment will be an old lady weaving carpets on
an old fashion loom. She will also have a
reel and spinning wheel, and she can show
how we spun and wove during the war."
During this week Mrs. Smith will be 111 lior
office in the North Texas bank building and
she will be pleased to have the ladies who wish
information about exhibiting call and see her.
The entry blanks are ready and those who wish
can get them and fill t-heni out at home, thus
saving time when they deliver exhibits.
All boxes or packages, she says, must be
addressed to the department to which they
belong, and they should be sent in time to
reach Dallas 011 or nbout Oet. 10. This applies

That's the reason they're
willing to take such a risk.
This is what they say, clearly
and plainly: " If we can't cure
your Catarrh, no rtiatter how
pad your case or of how long
standing, we'll pay you $500

enough to say that, isn't it safe
for you to have a little fi_.th,
too ?
c-hort, which the genius and the cunning of
man or the skill, wit and handiwork of women
could devise, may be seen at the fair.
"The exposition this year will assume almost
national proportions and few of the states will
be unrepresented. The cry for space was
heard early in the Bpring, and the manage-
ment has been at its wits' ends to squeeze in
all the exhibits without enlarging the build-
ings. But good judgment and the experienco
of the past helped out- and the reasonable de-
mands of all exhibitors will be satisfied. To
arouse and interest the vast crowds that will
visit the fair an admirable and carefully
planned programme of attractions has been
devised. In fact, an effort has been made by
the management to instruct the minds, at-
tract tho cyos and tickle the oars of the multi-
tude, and the old arid the young, the grave and
the gay can pass their lime as they please, the
fool according to his folly and tho wise man
according to his wisdom. People who wish to
see Texas turned loose should come this
way."
Commodore Miller.
A. Cornelius, a colored well digger living at
204 south Lamar street, reported yesterday
that Commodore Miller came to his home
about 11 o'clock Friday night and asked for a
drink of water. Cornelius was sitting with
his wife in front of his house, when he says ho
saw a man carrying p, gun pass soveral times
and look in. Finally the patty crossed the
street and was hid from view a few minutes,
but returned again and approached Cornelius,
remarking that he was warm and he want-
ed a drink of water. The stranger added that
he had been knocking about the country long
enough. He drank the water, remarked that
he must be going and started away. Just then
a gleam of electric light fell upon his face
and Cornelius said I10 recognized his visi'or
as Commodore Miller and he addressed liirn
with, "Hello, Miller." Without stopping Mil-
ler repled, "Hello," and walked rapidly away
down Lamar street toward Mosher's foundry.
Cornelius says that he knew Miller well and I10
is positive that his visitor was Commodore.
He described his dress as a coat of biack and
brown stripe, dark pantaloons, which looked
like jeans, and a white felt hat.
Some wag has sent The News a letter.
When Commodore comes out of the thicket
again to get a Dallas News, as he did at
Piano, he will smile wtien his eugle eye drops
on this:

Chairman Moore of the republican commit-

ready beaten for congress in the^ Galveston

through playing with Jo Abbott the la iter
gentleman will not be in it.
Letters from up the creek, where Judge
Beckham and Major Jarvis are conducting a

Hon. C. K. Bell, candidate for congress

night. His address was wholly conhned to
national issues, especial reference being had
to the free silver quostion. He dul not ven-

gial feeling the humiliation and disgrace
her position, .went to the hotel with him,
where they both took a large quantity ot
morphine and laid down to die. Ihey were
discovered, however, and with the utmost
difficulty revived. The young woman was
taken home by her friends, and as soon as
Thorn was able to move he quietly stole a
march 011 the officors, and as quietly and mys-
teriously disappeared. This afternoon Dep-
uty Sheriff Rca received a telegram from
Sheriff Richardson, dated at Little Rock
notifying him that ho had Thorn m custody
and would arrive here with him to-morro^ .
The prisoner was arrested in Mississippi,
whither the sheriff went after him last
Wednesday.
An Angry Bootblack.
This morning Steve Perkins, the club-footed
bootblack who shines shoes around the court-
house, walked into County Clerk King's o'l!c®
and asked for a marriage license, intimating
that the young lady, Miss Chitwood, who
accompanied him was to be his
half. As ho is considered half-witted,
Mrs. Pressor, the deputy, refused to ac-
commodate the cripple. Ho thereupon
belched out in a tirade of abuse, called evciy-
body in tho office hard names, and finally lett
the premises vowing vengeance dire ana deep
against the whole office force.

TEXAS QUARANTINE.
Denison Station.
Denison, Tex., Oct. l.-Dr. Markham, state
quarantine officer, received a telegram from
Dr. Swearingen at Austin to day notilying
him that quarantine against New York had
been suspended with reference to bc*n freight
and passenger traffic. The quarantine has
not, however, been raised as to the infected
ports and cities of Europe. Two young men
just from Germany were held at the quaran-
tine station this evening. They were entirely
healthful in appearance but they failed to
carry health certificates, and as they were
from infected districts it was deemed pruden
to hold them.
