IN FOURTH DISTRICT
Texarkana Deadlock--A Silver Dis-
cussion Precipitated in the
Convention. ..
DARK HORSE AT GRANBURY,
Eastland Instructs for Lanham and Newton
for Culberson—Judge J. R. Burnett Re-
plies to Colonel D A. Nunn.
Texarkana, TVs., Aur. 1.—The Fourth dls-
trict democratic congressional convention
reassembled this morning at 10 o'clock.
There was an absence of spectators arid
instead of buoyant expressions the dele-
gates wore clogged ones. Secretary Rollift
Rogers began the roll call with' 110 change
from the first ballot 'taken yesterday.
After a few ballots Hon. R. P; Harrell
of Bowie, who voted for Horace Boies in
the national convention af/Chicago and is
the nominee of tho''Uq^Me. democrats for-
representative, threw a little bombshell
into the camp. Silverwas.ignored yester-
day in the resolution adopted and Kartell
is a free sllverite. He took the floor and
submitted the following:
"Resolved, that it is the manifest duty
of congress to provide a sufficient circu-
lating medium of gold, silver and paper
currency for the transaction of the busi-
ness of the country, and such currency
should be united without the intervention
of corporate agencies; therefore we favor
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
•the ratio of 16 to 1 and the abolition of
national banks."
The delegates pricked up their ears and
Charles S. Todd of Bowie moved to table
the resolution. A vote was taken and the
Harrell resolution was tabled. The gentle-
man was not satisfied, however, and came
back at the convention with the following
modified resolution:
"Resolved, that we favor the free and un-
limited coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio of lt> to 1 and the abolition of na-
tional banks."
A delegate wanted this sen»t to the com-
mittee on platform and resolutions, and ex-
Senator W . T. Hudgins made the point
of order that the committee had been dis-
charged.
Delegate Harrell asked for the appoint-
ment of a new committee to consist of one
delegate from each county.
A delegate from Red River moved to
table "the whole .business," and George
Todd of Jefferson was recognized and began
to speak against the Harrell resolution.
Harrell cood humoredly remarked that
sooner than listen to his friend Todd's
speech he would withdraw the obnoxious
resolution, which he did, and peace pre-
vailed. ^ ,
Gus Shaw and Senator Jim Clark of Red
River, O'Neil and Jackson of Lamar, the
Todds and other strong Cleveland men de-
clare 'that a resolution in any way criti-
cising the president can not go through
without a fight.
Balloting was resumed and at 11 a. m.
a recess was taken until 3 p. m.
Seven hundred and fifty-seven ballots
had been scored and never a break along
the line.
C ran ford and his men held a caucus at
their headquarters. Hodges and his Lamar
supporters scattered about the city and
the SMieppard men reported to the head-
quarters of their leader. Who was taken ill
early this morning and was placed under
the care of a physician. His friends de-
clare that Judge S>heppard is in no danger
and will be up again to-morrow.
After <the caucuses bad adjourned it was
the fj uhe old story. The delegates had voted
to scarry out instructions to the letter.
i«4Lllock or no deadlock. The Cleveland
men are very aggressive in this conven-
tion and determined that no slight shall be
placed on the president.
Charles S. Todd of Bowie said to The
News reporter: "If a free silver resolution
is forced upon us then we shall demand
an indorsement of President Cleveland's
course in fighting the battle of tariff re-
form, in sending federal troops to Chi-
cago and other cities to put down the in-
surrectionists, hisfefforts to secure the re-
peal of the federal elections bill and other
crowning glories of his administration.
Cleveland is the greatest living American.
Democrats should hold up 'his hands."
This is the way 'the Cleveland men talk.
A number of delegates departed for their
homes on the noon and evening trains,
leaving behind stalwarts to cast the votes
and care for the interests of the favorites.
After the recess several delegates started
out to secure an adjournment till after the
state convention in Dallas, but made no
headway. - , ...
At 1.30 'the convention reassembled with
no change. Ballotilnig was resumed. At i>
p. m., after 1107 ballots had b en recorded,
Hon. Sot) Hart o.f (Bowie moved an ad-
journment unti'l to-morrow 'morning. It
carried, Titus county voting nay.
Jud&e Hiram Glass, R. A. KJnig anu
Colonel Carroll, lieutenants of Judge fehep-
pard, declare that they are here to nomi-
nate ttheir man. Howard Templeton and
other stalwart Cranford men make the
same declaration. N. A. Jackson of I ar.s
declares that I>amar county wlOl stick to
Jake Hodges untlll he is nominated. W. T.
Arm is teed of Jefferson is confident that a
nomination will be made before Thursday
night.
Ca«ptai;n W. W. Dillard, chairman of^ the
Bowie county delegation, saM to the News
reporter ito-ndfelht: "Twenty years aigo,
at Sulphur Springs, I placed Dave Culber-
son in nomination, and now .1 believe a
young man shou'ld be gi'ven the positilon."
Every delegate here is loyal to his in-
structions, and not one of t'hem 'talks o-f
a dark horse or even Culberson to break
the deadlock. Away from the candidates
and their warm partisans there is a great
deal of Culberson talk heard. This even-
ing caucuses were iheld at the different
headquarters witlh the o'Jd result. Judge
She-jupard was reported much Improved to-
night, (but 6n no condition to do any rust-
ling on his own account.
JUDGE BURNETT'S POSITION.
Palestine, Tex.. July 81.—To The News:
Your Crockett corfei*pondent in yesterday's
News, purporting 'to give a report of the
(speeches of \Odlloneil »D. A. Nunn and
myself there on the 28th instant, demands
some notice from me. The democratic ex-
ecutive committee otf Houston county had
publicly solicited the colored republicans
to .participate in the counity democratic
primaries on July 30, an invitation that (had
never 'been extended 'before. I was re-
quested by petition of a lange mimlber of
prominent colored voters to speak at Crock-
ett on the 28i-h, and finally consented to do
so. and notified the parties that I would
arrive at Crockett on the noon train and
speak at 1.30 or 2 o'dlock, and that I would
return on that aflternoon's train. I arrived
at Crockett between lii and il o'clock and
returned that afternoon. When I got to
the court house I met Colonel Nunn, who
asked how mueh time I wanted and said
thait ihe wished to reply to me. I told him
1 could not state how long 1 would speak,
but had no objections to his replying,
though I would not be able to hear him,
as 1 had to return home on the next
train. The appointment was not made by
me and 1 (had not been nmtitled that any
one exipected or would propose a joint dis-
cussion, nor was it exipected by those who
■ invited me 'to speak tJhat there would be a
Joint discussion, and it was so announced
before the speaking .'began. Colonel Nunn
said, however, that he wished to bp heard,
and before begLnning my remarks J stated
to the large crowd present that so far as I
was concerned I had no objection to his
replying to what 1 should isay, though I
would not >be able to reply to him, and
did not heaT any of this speech.
I know Colonel Nunn is a strone parti-
san and somewhat given to violent de-
nunciations of those who are opposed to
him pollaloa»lly, but I confess 1 am sur-
prised ait his statement, as quoted, that I
was leading "an anarohistic crowd," or
that I had made a ^bargain "to deliver 1500
negro votes in this county to the populists
in consideration of DOO scraps humanity
now constituting the populist party." I
was indorsed by the 'populists for district
Judge without any bangain whatever and
before <1 hajd concluded to become a can-
didate. tAt the same tkme they Indorsed
J'udig« J. iB. Bishop of Atthensi a democrat,
for district attorney. As to j^v leading or
Im'ii/ sv.urnt;.v win "n a.n;iroa..-UiC ;

t;41.-{ they are in Ji.irmony w?tih the demo-
cratic governor/ of I'/inois, Missouri ana
T 'Xas, and nwphy other prominent demo-
crats. \Vhile/seems to me that the
president's act-ian appealed very strongly
i,i every perft\>n who loves law and order,
if flhe fao^s existed that his action as-
sumed. yot I do not oelieve that all who
• llsappnwfd his action and approva l the
recent strike can Justly be classed as
anaivihlshs.
'Dhc report of my remarks on the occa-
sion referred to, whiich is meager and evi-
dently hurried over to give more space to
th-»/"ivplv," is garbled and unfair. The
correspondence was evidently written 'by
a partisan enemy, of mine. I should not
object 'to publishing atl that I'si'd. >r to
giving my views on all public questions.
S > far -as the result of tihe -meeting is con-
cerned, I am 'satisfied w?tii it.
Republicans in Texas differ as to the
policy to be pursuoi by them in the state
campaign, except the so-called "lily
whites," wiho will put tip a state- ticket.
I know Judge Nugent • we 1.1 and feel sure
he would make Texas an able, conservative
and 'patriotic governor. He is supported
by a ticket of honest and capable* men,
and on the whole a good state platform..
My opinion in 1892 was that the republi-
cans should support hiqi? and this is my
opinion now. It will hardly ..be denied by
any one that either Judge •Nufcprrt or the
dinhuTu'tlc n )irtinee will be our next i.rov-,
ernor. J. R. BURNETT,

stituent? are upon us, bu the democrat's of

assurance, disagreed, in fact had spilt wide
open and two reports were ready for sub-
mission, one of which unequivocally in-
dorses the national democratic administra-
tion and the president's policy upon all
public questions, -including that of finance.
This was the majority report. The minor-
ity of the committee were willing to in-
dorse the national administration and Pres-
ident Cleveland's policy upon all questions
save that of finance.

majority report, backed by Navarro county
with 10 votes, Ellis 1G. Johnson 10 and
Bosque 0, making a total of 42 votes, more
than one-third.

Every county 'in the district seconded the
motion and it was carried with a whoop.
