THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1892.
CLARK AT STEPHENVILLE.
A SPONTANEOUS AND SUCCESSFUL
INDORSEMENT OF HIS POSITION.
Masterly Exposition of Gov. Hogg's Official
Errors and Omissions and of His
Policy and Methods.
Stephens ville, Tex., June 8.—In many re-
spects the greeting extended to Judge Clark
to-day by the people of Erath county was one
of the most spontaneous and successful in-
dorsements of his position in the campaign
yet given hiin in northwest Texas. Judge
Clark never was in better spirits, having an
intelligent ami appreciative audience, largely
composed of farmers, who listened with
wrapt attention for two hours to his eloquent
and masterly exposition of Gov. Hogg's of-
ficial errors and omissions.
The judge arrived here from Dublin at 11:30
and was » et at the depot by a large number
of friends and escorted to Crows' opera-house,
where ho was introduced by Prof. B. E. Cook
to a large assemblage of ladies and gentle-
men who had congregated there to receive
hitxi.
The judge made a few remarks principally
in reference to the necessity of careful con-
sideration and patient toleration in the discus-
sion of the great public questions which are
agitating the people of the state. He was
very happy in his reference to the ladies,
speaking of them as the one power to whom
the good men of the world bowed without
question as the queens of home.
After dinner the committee on reception
escorted the distingcished visitor to the old
reunion grounds where nearly 2000 people
crowded about the speaker's stand. Judge
Clark was introduced by Prof. Cook, and at
once proceeded with his address, an effort
which has already set the supporters of Gov.
Hogg in this neck of woods to thinking. He
said:
Ladies and fellow-citizens: When democ-
racy is in danger it certainly cannot be amiss
for even so humble a democrat as myself to
raise his voice in tones of warning to the fol-
lowers of Jetl'erson and Jackson in the mag-
nificent county of Erath. [Applause.] I am
here as a friend and neighbor, one who never
had a thought other than for the continued
peace aui prosperity of Texas. Certainly I
can claim tolerance and patience at your
hands, even if you do not approve of what I
may say, for I know we are all patriotic alike
in working out the happiness and prosperity
of this grand state.
I am here not to abuse any oue for political
opinions, but to remind you of what consti-
tutes the true principles of democracy. I am
here to arraign my servant, James S. Hogg,
for he is my servant as well as yours; to dis-
cuss his public acts with you, the people of
Erath county, to decide whether he is right or
X am right. He has had two years of power
and has made his record, and upon that record
1 propose to try him. If he has been faithful
you and I will acquit him: if he has not he
will and ought to receive the condemnation of
the true democracy of Texas.
The judge then proceeded to arraign the
governor for his usurpation of power, for his
growing propensity to institute a personal or
centralized government. He took up the gov-
ernor's threat that he would not approve the
demand of the people for a commission un-
less he were allowed to appoint the board and
drew a vivid word picture of his domineering
and bulldozing methods in connection with a
measure which the speaker said had been de-
manded by the people, whose inherited rights
had been trampled upon by the chief execu-
tive.
He believed it was time somebody was
preachiug true democratic ideas. Many
hitherto good democrats in this country and
in the county had gone oil' and organized a
new party and were now claiming that they
were the only simon pure democrats in the
land. This was largely the fault of the peo-
ple, who should read their political bible and
keep burning the tires of true democracy if
they hoped to retain these wandering brothers
in the ranks. Gov. Hogg's ideas ol govern-
ment had driven many people out of the
party. Power was inherent in the people and
the very moment the governor decided that
power was in him personally he decided that
he was not a democrat. [Applause.J
Judge Clark here proceeded to scathingly
review the governor's course in language re-
markable for its pertinent sarcasm and in-
cisive references to the chief executive and
his methods.
Speaking of the commission again, the
judge said: "This measure came from the
hearts of the people and was one upon which
all their fondest hopes were centered ; yet
their servant, the governor, in whom they
placed the greatest confidence, declared their
hopes should bo dashed to the ground, their
fondest desires f^^trated unless he should be
allowed to usurp the common heritage of the
people and take from them the power to se-
lect their own representatives." Such an act
placed despotic power in the hands of the gov-
ernor to which, as a true democrat and know-
ing the danger of such a precedent in this
country, he should have refused to yield.
The judge, as a further illustration of Hogg's
idea of one-manpower, then took up his claim
that he had reduced the rate of taxation and
proved that his assertion was unfounded and
only made to further impress upon the people
his idea of centralized government. Again was
the governor's false and dangerous position
illustrated in his claim that he enforced the
laws. Such an idea would be laughabie under
ordinary circumstances, but under present
conditions it became tragical rather than far-
cical. In this regard the governor had no
greater power than any common citizen, yet
whenever ho discussed public questions this
idea of centralized or one-man power cropped
out.
At this point the speaker, with his hand
raised on high and in a very impressive man-
ner, said : "I expect to live and die in Texas,
but, iny friends, 1 want to die long, long be-
fore Texas becomes subject to that kind of
democratic rule." As he concluded the sen-
tence the sentiment was heartily applauded.
Continuing he said that the governor had
been telling communities in the state where
the Sabbath closing idea prevailed what he
had done in their interests by closing the sa-
loons on Sunday, yet when he addressed the
Germans in the southern portion of the state
he practiced the arts of the demagogue and
had the hardihood to say to them that he had
not endeavored to close the saloons, but was
simply after the gamblers. [Laughter.]
Again was the demagogy of the man forci-
bly displayed when he talked to the people of
the state of the large number of mobs he had
suppressed. Judge Clark said if the governor
was correct in tnis assertion it was strange
that no record existed of these bloody con-
tests. Perhaps the only record of them was
in the sacred archives at Austin, and said the
speaker: "When I go down there next wiu-
ter as governor I'll investigate the matter.''
[Cheers, long and loud. ]
Judge Clark was equally severe in his at-
tack upon the governor for his spirit of dem-
agogy in criticising the people in regard to
the building of court houst>8 and making other
iocal improvements, and in a most bitter and
sarcastic manner asked, as he has often done
bofore: "What business is it of the gov-
ernor if the people want to build court houses
and city halls?"
At this there wan no lack of applause, and
the judge immediately proceeded to expose
the governor's action regarding the land titles
of the state, saying that this title
question ought to be with every
citizen of Texas the most sacred object of ven-
eration, because the land titles of the state
constituted all the security Texans have to
offer to the world. Referring to the Val Verde
case and the governor's claim that he had re-
covered a vast amount of land for the state, the
judge caused great merriment by saying that
the chief executive had not secured enough
out of this famous case to educate one small
darky. The action commenced by the attor-
ney general had affected the titles of 24,000,-
000 acres of land in Texas, and Judge Clark
suid, as an attorney, he had been con-
sul tad by several owners of land thus clouded.
To these people he had replied: "Stand on
your hand in thevourts."
Referriug again to the questiou of the land
titles the speaker said Hogg had been hedging
all through the campaign and was now very
near the position occupied by his opponents
and he really expected to hear shortly that the
governor was ready, like a repentant sinner,
to do what his duty ought to have shown him
was the proper course at tirst. Then the judge
in a most forcible and even dramatic way re-
ferred to McGaughey's letter in which he stated
that "we will stand by the settlors" and Culber-
son's ukase "so long as I am attorney general
the property of settlers shall not. be dis-
turbed," saying haven't we come to a wonder
ful pass in government when some little fel-
low down at Austin can of his own accord
blight the titles of whole communities? Is
that true democracy? The sooner the people
seo that one-man power leads to absolutism
the sooner they will apply a remedy.
"Tell your representatives to go to Austin
and stop this, and compel them to legislate for
the preservation of the rights of the people
tell them to enact such laws as will compel the
railroads to give up every acre of land to
which they are not entitled; but at the same
time make laws of such a character as will
not interfere with Texas lands or the homes of
Texas people." [Prolonged applause.]
Judge (Mark then gave the facts of his re-
covering for the state $20,000,000, saving that
he should not have referred to it at this time
but for the fact that these people are raising a
hue and cry about railroad attorneys and what
they had done. Why, said the sperker, Hogg
would have been a railroad attorney if he
could havo found a railroad which wauted his
services. [Laughter.]
Continuing, the judge referred to the pres-
ent depressed condition of business in the
state and entered upon an eloquent appeal
for a change, that Texas might agaiA go for
ward in a career of progress and prosperity,
that confidence might be restored by the
downfall or overthrow of demagogy. Con-
cluding, the judge said:
The statesmanship of Texas must be suf
ficient to break the strings which have im-
paired her« progress, and strong enough to
inaugurate an era of peace, plenty and happi-
ness. Unshackle the individual liberty of
every person in Texas, that we may be free
from the unwelcome thongs which have too
long bound us. _
A OOZY RETREAT.
Mineral Wells' Improvements, Politics,
Crops and General Prospects.
Mineral. Wells, Palo Pinto Co., Tex., June
8.—[Special correspondence.]
"1 knew by the smoke that so gracefully curled
Above the green elms that a cottage was near .
And I said : "If there's peace to be round in the
world,
The heart that is humble may look for it here.' "
—Old Song.
Indeed, that's what they come here for
mostly—peace and quiet—and to drink the
tonic water of the wells and bathe in it and
get well. Nature intended this valley as a
quiet, peaceful retreat for her sick and weary
children.
The News correspondent is glad to note a
number of new houses recently erected in
Mineral WeJLls. and also to see a considerable
number of visitors coming in. A little judi-
cious advertising of the place would bring
tenfold the number of visitors here that are
likely to come without it. Even as it is ten or
twelve new houses have just been completed
and Kidwell Heights, a pretty residence sub-
urb, is steadily building up. A now bank
building is just being finished and it shows up
in good style the excellent sandstone which
abounds here in the surrounding hills. It will
ultimately be the universal building material
of the town.
At present politics, both state and national,
but state politics in particular, is the all-ab-
sorbing topic. Invalid visitors for the time
being forget their ailments and enthusiasti-
cally discuss the unprecedented state cam-
paign now upon us, and wonder what will be
the final outcome of it all.
The Mineral Wells people are preparing to
receive the "little giant" on the 11th. A
grand barbecue is a part of the programme.
The News man asked if Gov. Hogg would not
give Mineral Wells a call, and was informed
that he had been invited to do so, but 60 far
has made no reply to the invitation. The peo-
ple here don't seem to care wheather he
deigns to visit them or not.
The third party people are strong here and
very hopeful. They are well organized in
this section and express much confidence in
their growing strength.
People generally are hopeful. There is an
immense oat crop about ready for the har-
vester, and the wheat is good, though but a
small acreage was planted in Palo Pinto
county. Corn and cotton are both promising.
A good immigration is looked for next fall
and the prices of real estate, while very rea-
sonable, are firm and steady. "All that is
needed to insure an era of prosperity to all
western Texas," say they, "is a good, con-
servative state government."
Among other talked-of enterprises here,
another newspaper is a possibility of the
near future. It is to be a weekly democratic
paper, but The News correspondent did not
learn whom it will advocaato for "head
pusher" of Texas and her destinies.
THE FORUM OF THE PEOPLE.
About that Revenue Agent.
Bonham, Tex., June 8.—[To The News.]
When Judge E. B. Perkins spoke here last
Monday he read the act of 1891, which creates
the office of state revenue agent, making his
salary $2000 per annum; also paying all of
said agent's traveling expenses. The duties of
said agent, as prescribed in section 1, page 87,
general laws twenty-second legislature, 1891,
are as follows:
Be it enacted by the legislature of the state of
Texas, that the governor be and he is hereby au-
thorized to appoint a suitable person as revenue
agent for the state for the purpoie of securing a
better enforcement of the revenue laws of the
state. Said revenue agent shall be sub-
ject to the directions of the governor,
who may, whenever iu his judgment the
public deiuanda it, direct said rovenue agent to
investigate all books and accounts of the assess-
ing and collecting otlieei'9 of this state, and all
officers aud persons dishurBiug. receiving or hav-
ing in their possession public funis, and to make
such other investigations and perform such ot her
duties iu the interest of pnblic revenues as the
Kfoveruor may direct. Whenever such investiga-
tion is ordered by t he governor, t h« revenue agent
shall report to him in writing the results of such
investigation, etc.
Aud in section 2 of same act, any assessorjor
collector who does not submit to said agent all
books, records and accounts so called for with-
out delay is subject to a tine of not less than $lo0
nor more tlian $1000 aud may be imprisoned in
the county jail not more than one year."
This law has created considerable comment
since Judge Perkins was here, and tho more
it is commented on the more indignant be-
come some people, for it is looked upon as
another tendency to centralize power a' Aus-
tin in the hands of the governor, and to inter-
fere with the rights of the local authorities,
the commissioners' courts and grand jur.es of
the various counties, whose duties are to pass
on, examine and approve the accounts of their
assessors and collectors withoutanv assistance
from the state, and we further hear it said
that the $2000 and traveling expenses of said
agent were entirely unnecessary and shame-
less extravagance for an administration
elected on the policy of rigid retrenchment,
reform, and pledged to strict economy.

Weather and Crops.
Glen Rose—Rain and wind did no material
harm, beyond delaying harvesting. Crops the
best in several years.
Kimball—Heavy rains did not damage corn
or oats. Corn never better.
Veal Station—Considerable to crops by re-
cent heavy rains and hail. Wheat estimated
15 bushels per acre.
Cooper—Cotton and corn were damaged by
Friday's hail and wind storm.
Springtown—Corn, fruit trees and gardens
damaged by recent hail storms.
Truck Farming Crops.
Dznibox, Tex,, June 8.—Mr. Dan Groman,
one of the oldest as well as most successful
horticulturists of north Texas, was met yes-
terday by The News correspondent and from
him it is learned that the bean crop through-
out the Deuison belt is a complete failure.
From a field of six acres that usually produces
fruw 2U0 to ^00 bushels of snau beans, this
year not even enough for a family mess will
be gathered. Mr. Groman attributes the fail-
ure to the late spring and excessive rain?. Next
week blackberries will be in full supply. The
yield is not so heavy as last year and the crop
will not last over two weeks. The Irish potato
crop is as good as an average. The soil dur-
ing the growing season was so badly soaked
that the potatoes are very apt to decay very
rapidly. Everything in the garden or truck
farming line is yielding fair prices to the pro-
ducer, and fespccially is this the case so far
with shippers to outside points.
FORT WORTH BUDGET.
Overdose of Morphine.
Fort Worth, Tex., June 8.—The man Jlar-
rcll who took an overdose of morphine last
night is still alive, though he is not out of
danger, llarrell began the use of narcotics
Monday afternoon and took chloroform and
laudanum to induce sleep. Yosterday morn-
ing he complained of crampings and began
using morphine for the relief of the pain. He
took two moderate doses and these not having
the desired effect ho increased the doses in
Bize aud frequency until he took ateaspoonful
at a dose. When ho was first seen by a phy-
sician there was not more than a half tea-
spoonful left in the phial that held originally
one-eighth of an ounce. The quantity taken
must have been fully fifty grains. To-day
there are indications of congestion aud heart
failure.
Later—Thomas E. Harrell died about 0
o'clock this evening of heart failure, the result
of the overdose of morplune.
Yesterday and last night was a regular
morphine poisoning day. Besides the case
above noted a woman living on the south side
took a dose of morphine for relief from neu-
ralgia and accidentally got an overdose, but
she was never in a critical condition. Last
night another woman, whose husband had
been detained very late, became nervous over
the matter and took some morphine to induce
sleep, and she came near going to the land of
eternal sleep.
Street Missionaries.
In the third ward the salvation army is doing
some effective work and four girls residing in
the acre part of the third have recanted, re-
formed and joined the army. A man, claim-
ing to be a reformed gambler and calling him-
self an evangelist, by the name of Rice, ac-
companied by his wife, started an impromptu
open air meeting at 1 liird and Main streets
last night that attracted a large crowd. They
sing until a crowd gathers, then the woman
preaches and the man takes up a collection.
They are on the street again to-day.
World's Fair Notes.
An effort has been inaugurated with a flat-
tering prospeot for success to secure choice
specimens of this year crops of Tarrant coun-
ty for exhibition at the world's fair. Prizes
are offered for the best sheaf of oats, wheat,
best bushel of grain of various kinds, samples
of fruits, vegetables, etc. All aro to be pre-
served by the McCouley process if they are
perishable and the exhibit will be tastefully
arranged by those who have the union depot
exhibit in charge.
A Bicycle, Street Car and Hark.
About 7 o'clock this evening a little boy
about 8 years of age, son of J. C. Fincher, wa
crossing Main street at Fifth on a bicycle
when a street car struck him, knocked him
under a hack that chanced to be passing at
the time and two wheels of the hack ran over
his left leg, breaking tho thigh bone.
An Infuriated Negro.
Ed Burts, a negro, was arrested this after-
noon by a deputy sheriff for aggravated as-
sault on W. WT. Dexter. Dexter had ordered
the negro to do some work and the darky re-
fused. He was told he must do the work or
leave the place. He declined both proposi-
tions. Dexter moved towards him as if to
put him out when the negro ran outside, got a
brick, threw and struck Dexter back of the
ear. Then the house was bombarded by the
infuriated negro and Dexter got another se-
vere wound on the hand. Assistance was sum-
moned and the negro arrested.

STATE POLITICAL RECORD.
HISTORY OF THE SAN ANGELO
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
The Campaign Orators Are Putting in Full
Time in Single Handed and in
Joint Debates,
Dallas, Tex'., June 9.—The haudsome
clubroom on Mam street of the republi-
can white league is being kept open day
and night to the members and to vis-
itors during the Minneapolis convention,
The question that particularly interests the
league is, "will the contesting delegates from
Texas be seated?" The information in this
line of inquiry reported by the Associated
Press was anything but reassuring
until the favorable opinion of James
I*. Newcomb came over the wires yesterday.
Then hope afresh brooded over the clubrooui
like a dove, and some members thought that
the entire delegation might be seated, while
others were satislied if they should be allowed
to cast half the vote of the state. Most mem-
bers of the club, while in favor of human lib-
erty, think that the destiny of the United
States and of each state in the union is only
safe in the hands of the Anglo-Saxon race,
and that a republican party in Texas
to merit the respect of mankind
must be in the hands of t hat race. They point
to the state of affairs in Haiti, where republi-
canism is under colored management, and in
this way a reason is found for the so-called
brutal democratic majority in Texas. Mem-
bers of the club say that it is the question of
race supremacy which is keeping the demo-
cratic party of Texas solid under circum-
stances which in the last two years, but for
this race question, would have burst it wide
open. Said a member of the league last night:
"There was no show for a white man in the
state convention at Austin unless he crawled
on all-fours to the colored dominant race. In
fact the great issue in the convention was as
to which of two negroes—both federal office-
holders—should have the distribution of fed-
eral patronage in Texas. As to the great
party issues it is doubtful if five men of the
dominant race in that state convention could
tell you anything about them."
"If you should not receive party recogni-
tion will your organization be kept up?" a
News reporter last night inquired of Mr. J. N.
Baker, president of tho club.
He answered: "Whether we receive recogni-
tion or not at Minneapolis we will keep up
our state organization. If, when it comes to
the convention of the national league, we do
not receive recognition then we may convert
our clubs into Houston clubs or something
else. We are going to build up a respectable
white republican party in Texas before wo
quit. We havo already been recognized by
the national league, but when it comes to a
show down in a league convention it may rule
us out; but I do not think it will."
Kabbit Foot in Tom Green,
San Angelo, Tex., June 6.—The chairman
of the county executive committee has made
the following appointments: A Hogg man
chairman over precinct No. 1, 004 votes; a
Hogg man Chairman over precinct No. 4, 291
votes; a Clark man chairman over precinct
No. 2, 36vot&i; a Clark man chairman over
precinct No. 3, 31 votes. The executive com-
mittee met and named May 28 for precinct
conventions to select delegates to the county
convention called for June 4 to send delegates
to both the Lampasas and Houston conven-
tions.
In conformance with the call of the com-
mittee the voters began to assemble at the
courthouse at 10 o'clock a. m. on May 28 and
by 2 o'clock there was at least 500 people as-
sembled with fifty or more Clark men in the
majority. Shortly after 2 o'clock the Hogg
precinct chairman called the meeting to or-
der. It was expected, as is customary in such
cases, that he would go into temporary or
permanent organization. To the surprise of
every one the Hogg manager on the floor
arose to make a speech. He was promptly
called to order by a Clark man. Then the
Hogg speaker to bring himself before the
house moved that the chair appoint a com-
mittee of three to test the votes under the
ruling of the executive committee, which mo-
tion a Clark man moved to table. The mo-
tion to table, although in conformance with
parliamentary rules, the chairman refused to
notice in any manner whatever.
Pandemonium then succeeded and for about
tw o hours it was a monkey and a parrot affair.
Many motions were made. A Clark man
moved to procoed to permanent organization
by electing a chairman. The chair paid no
attention to it. Finally after two hours of
useless yelling, after a large number of the
Clark men had gone, the chairman agreed to
entertain the motion to elect a permanent
chairman. Both sides nominated a chairman
and tellers were appointed, one from each
faction. When the vote was counted the Hogg
men had one majority, the vote being 184 to
183. This placed a Hogg man in the chair.
As soon as the permanent chairman and
secretary were elected, a Clark man moved
that a committee of three (naming them) be
elected by the house to select the delegates to
the county convention, when a Hogg man
moved as a substitute that the delegates to be
elected be instructed to vote for Hogg, which
last motion was moved to be tabled. The
chairman placed the motion before the house,
but when a division and tellers were called
for by Clark men, he took the bit in his
mouth and refused a division and undertook
to count tho vote himself from the chairman's
stand and announced the above result.
This action was repeated on each motion
until the Hogg instruction was passed, the
Hogg delegates elected and a motion to ad-
jouru was carried.
And thus ended one of the most astonish-
ing proceedings ever witnessed in Tom Green
county, and only equalled by the New York
midwinter convention.

satisfied indeed that each has invariably been
given two terms of office. He then recited
the condition of Texas when Gov. Ross retired
and compared the present stagnation of busi-
ness now with the prosperous condition of the
people then and accounted for one cause of
this depression by showing that Hogtf's ad-
ministration had either driven capital out of

perforated.
A Gang of Bold Robbers.
Ai.ranv, Tex., June 8.—News has just
reached here of another bold attempt at rob-
bery a day after the stage was held up, an
account of which appeared in yesterday's
News. Just after dark Sunday evening three
men were seen sneaking in the residence of
Mrs. Austin, a widow lady with live small
children, some twenty miles from this place,
near where the Albany and Haskell stage was
held up.
Mrs. Austin was just returning from Haskell
and it is thought the robbers thought 6he
brought a considerable sum of money with
her.
They were tirst discovered by one of Mrs.
Austin's boys while Mrs. Austin was at the
milkpen and she supposed it was some of the
i%nchineu of the neighborhood and sent the
boy to the house to see what was wanted.
Two of tho men had already entered the house
and barred the door from the inside, while the
third stood guard to see that no one ap-
proached.
Upon discovering this and after secreting
her children near by Mrs. Austin started on
foot to the Swensen ranch, some ten miles
distant, and getting assistance returned to
find the birds had flown, leaving behind no
trace by which they may be identified.
They searched and ransacked the house,
but secured nothing, overlooking some green-
backs in an old envelope in a trunk. Mrs.
Austin had something over $100 which she
brought back from Haskell, but carried it off
when she left the house. There seems to bo
an organized gang in that vicinity.

rels per day and a 20,000 bushel elevator. This

DALLAS BUDGET.
Switchmen's Convention.
Dallas, Tcx., June 9.—A joint meeting
of committees of the Board of Trade, of
citizens and of Dallas switchmen was held
yesterday in the mayor's office to effect
arrangements for the convention of the
Switchmen's National Aid association of
North America, which will be held in Dallas
on the 9tli of next September and bo in session
from seven to ten days. The following per-
sons composed the committees:

Garrison, Alderman Webster and W. E. Parry.

seventh annual convention. We represent
every state and territory in the United States.
Canada and Mexico. We will pay our own
way here and when we leave hero wo will lie a
walking advertisement for Dallas all over
North America. We will have here at least
1000 delegates and visitors. What we want is
to be furnished with a hall, a band or two of
music, badges and banners. A thousand dol-
lars will put it through."
Mr. Garrison—There will be no trouble
about raising that amount.
Mr. Sourwine said, continuing, that there
would be present some of the ablest labor
writers and orators in America. Arrange-
ments are being made now, he proceeded, to
run a solid train from St. Louis. The object
in preparing so early for the convention is to
show the delegates that they will be properly
entertained.
Mr. Leo Wolfson, secretary of the Board of
Trade, said there never was any trouble in
raising money for such entertainments.
Mr. Rniffin suggested that tho chairmen of
the committees get together and map out the
work.
Mr. Sourwine—The labor organizations
would participate in the grand parade.
Mr. Garrison—Let us ^et our subscription
lists and in two days we will raise the money.
Tho mayor—I'll have the subscription lists
ready in the morning.
Tho meeting then adjourned, all present
showing a desire that the switchmen should be
entertained in fine style.
The committees will meet again at 3:30 p.
m. to-morrow.
The headquarters of tho switchmen's grand
lodge will be at the Windsor.
Reduced rates have been given at ail the
hotels for the delegates.
An Early Visitor,
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the chief
of po.Uce was called out of bed by a business
man hailing from a Texas town, somewhat
remote from Dallas, who said he had "seen
the elephant double" at a variety theater, was
out of pocket $130 and wanted to have the
matter investigated. While Mr. Kirby, the
chief of detectives, was conducting the inves-
tigation in his private office last night a News
reporter dropped in on him
On one side of the table sat the bewailing
visitor, opposite him a gorgeously painted
female reclined in a chair and the chief of
detectives occupied the post of honor—the
head of the table. The female was giving her
testimony. She said:
"He treated the crowd. I know he blew in
$80 on me alone,for my commissions amount-
ed to $16 40."
After the parties had cross-examined one
another without much regard for the rules of
evidence, Mr. Kirby took the case under ad-
visement.
Commencement Exercises.
The closing exercises of the third year of
St. Mary's institute (Episcopal) commenced
yesterday. By 10:30 o'clock, the opening
hour, the spacious halls and pleasant rooms
were thronged with visitors, who were greeted
by Bishop Garrett, principal and rector, the
officers, the teachers and the young lady pu-
pils of the school. The art exhibit, compris-
ing a very creditable display of a high order
of work by the pupils, was thrown open to the
visitors, who were profuse in bestowing com-
pliments on it.
At 3 o'clock the visitors assembled in the
large, pleasant chapel on the first floor and
the programme of the day's exercises was

of the day's programme and of a very enter-
taining and interesting exercise.

niture and fixtures in his storehouse, No. 305

Young County Bivouac.
Graham, Young Co., Tex., June 5.—Satur-
day the ex-confederates of Young oounty gave
a basket picnic near town. About two hun-
dred persons were present. After dinner the
ex-soldiers elected tho following officers for
the ensuing year: A. T. Gay, captain ; A. A.
Timmons, first lieutenant; L. P. Brooks, sec-
ond lieutenant; G. H. Crozier, adjutant; John
A. Dixon, quartermaster; Rev. R. N. Smith,

L. Payne, vidette. The association is about
one hundred strong and is known as Young
County bivouac.
Fatally Struck .with a Rock.
Goldthwaite, Tex., June 8.—A difficulty
took place yesterday about six miles south of
this place between Mont Ballard and John
Nichols, during which Ballard was struck on
the head with a rock, resulting in his death
last night. It seems that Nichols and Ballard
owned a flock of sheep jointly, and iu a settle-
MUEAT DOES MOT BELIEVE HE 18 AN
AVAILABLE CANDIDATE.
Blaine Himself Is the Best Judge of all the
Conditions Involved in His Eace
for the Nomination. V
ment of affairs a dispute arose. Nichols stated
that Ballard was advancing on him with a
knife, when he threw a rock, hitting him on
the head. Upon regaining consciousness Bal-
lard got up and walked one and one-half miles
to Jim Goode's, the nearest neighbor. He
was able to tell who did the work, but soon
became unconscious.
Murat Halstead has been to Washington
and interviewed Mr. Blaine, and he writer
over his signature to the Commercial Gazette
that it is not at all clear to us that it is wiseS
and well to nominate Mr. Blaine for the presi- I
dency. If he has said that he is himself of
that opinion it is not in authentic form before
the public. His judgment on that subject
we shall have to trust, and we are
not alarmed about it. If Blaine be
Blaine he would be the most popu-
lar candidate. If he should be nominated,
there are two lines of assault upon which the
whole force of the enemy will be thrown. One
is the ugly statement that is going the rounds-
attributed to Mr. Watterson, and that is in all
probability the language of some other man.
It is that Blaine is not himself. The other is
the charge that he cannot be a candidate in
good faith—that it would be bad faith toward
the president for him to consent to run.
As to Mr. Blaine's health of body and mind
the writer of these lines on Friday last had an
extended conversation with Mr. Blaine, who
did the talking save when replies were made
to very interesting questions. It may not be
out of order to say that he referred with grim
humor to the stories of his mental decay that
have been cruelly circulated and his language
on that subject would amuse the public very
much if it might be reported. The representa-
tion that he is dying at the top is one difficult
to deal with. It is not true. If he does not
show so often as formerly that wonderful
memory of everything he ever heard of any-
body, put the names to all faces at a glance,
add personal histories to the names, and deal
in the display of marvelous resources
of mental force, there is no occasion for
either surprise or alarm. There aro
changeB in Mr. Blaine. He yet bears
marks of his illness of last summer, but he
has recently made a better recovery
than the average strong man does from the
grip. He has had discouragements about his
condition, for he has delicate organization,
is acutely aware of all that happens. The in-
tensity with which ho enjoys music; the re-
freshment he has in rest; the refinement that
has made him always refuse tobacco in any
form; the fact that strong drink is repulsive to
hiin and taken only as medicine, and rarely—
are associated with a temperament that is sin-
gularly sensitive. He has changed in growiug
command of himself; in gentleness of manner:
in kindliness; in forgiveness of enemies; in
tender estimation of those near him. The
changes are all becoming his age, his fame
and his dignity. The mellowing of his char-
acter is not due to weakness, but it is an ex-
pression of history and philosophy, and this is
not the result of his illness but the logic of
his life, the ripeness of his genius. No man
has been so pursued with hateful pre-
judices, falsehoods, animosities. It is no
wonder he shrinks from the malig-
nant fire that he is aware will be
Soured upon him if he approaches the presi-
ency, and yet he can endure and rise in cour-
age and force to occasions. Love is stronger
than hate, and he knows it. He has not been
obtrusive in the Harrison administration. In
one matter he struck out with decisive energy,
and demanded that reciprocity should be
added to protection.
He never was more sagacious; and it was
the logic of his putting protection to the front
in 1888.
He did not want to run for the presidency.
The one thing that more than another irritates
and alarms him is that his party should un-
derstand him to be a claimant for the great
office. He wrote the letter of Feb. 6 with the
deepest sincerity, and he had been expostu-
lated with by friends whose devotion he keenly
appreciated. He meant every word of the
letter. He had millions of friends who felt
that it was a blow. If his action affected
any one unfavorably, it was himself. Why
should he have taken himself out of the field
just as the election of delegates was begin-
ning? That February letter was not a bid for
the presidency, was it? It was not a sly, under-
handed scheme to get there, was it? No one has
been quite wild enough to make such a charge
as that. There is an accusation, however, that
approaches it in foolishness, and it is that Mr.
Blaine wrote the letter as an act of personal
humility that he might hold on to his office a
little longer, which, it is supposed, he could
not do with propriety and allow himself to be
talked about for the presidency. The absurd-
ity of this is shocking. Has any republican
felt that it would help the party for Mr. Blaine
to leave the cabinet? Does any one suppose
that he has a hankering for the office? There
has been about this a degree of misjudg-
ment that may be mischievous. There were
younger men who thought when his reciprocity
idea was at first presented that he had become
old and feeble and was not the man he had
been; that his time was over; tho water turned
away forever from his wheel; that he was a
back number, and he was heard with scant at-
tention. This aroused him, and he forced the
reciprocity policy upon congress; upon a house
at first captious, conceited, and unwilling, and
members stood back asking what reciprocity
meant, until they saw the irresistible popular
impulse imparted to the proposition, and that
shone forth one of the rarest, most brillianfc
and splendid and useful examples of construc-
tive statesmanship. The procession moved,
and objectors had to fall in. The treaties with
Brazil, Spain, Germany and Austria tell the
story. Mr. Blaine did not have occasion to
claim the victory; it was claimed. It is the
big, front jewel in the crown of the Harrison
administration, and will be like a plume of
white light for the republican party to march
toward in the coming campaign, no matter
for the name of the candidates or the form
of the platform. We do not know
whether Mr. Blaine is a candidate
for nomination at Minneapolis. If his silence
continues another week it will give consent.
He has a right to keep that silence, and the
imputations that his conduct is dishonorable
are calculated to compel him to stand at all
hazards. We are amazed that some of our
friends do not understand this and act upon
their understanding.
We do not believe the story that Mr. Blaine
was nagged into writing the February letter;
that It was an act of deference and subordina-
tion to the president. It was, obviously, a
characteristic act of Mr. Blaine, and on his
own personal account. If anybody has a right
to offer a complaint or criticism, those who
were running Mr. Blaine for the presidency are
the men; none others have a call to come into
court. There is but one candidate for the presi-
dency in the field who would not have been in
it if it had not been for the February letter-
Gen. Alger—and he does not regard himself
ruined by the fact that Mr. Blaine has written
only one letter. There is absolutely no im-
propriety in Mr. Blaine consenting, not-
withstanding his letter, to accept the
nomination. There is one thing he
cannot afford to do, and that is to
allow the convention to nominate him and
then to decline. If he means declination, he
should say so before the convention proceeds
to ballot. As to advising him what to do—he
is the only man who knows tho whole case,
and he must review it judicially and decide. Iu
the meantime, blessed are the peacemakers,
and they are having a hard time of it. •
