STATE CONVENTION.

       The State Democratic Convention met in Galveston Tuesday.  There is no contest over any of the State offices as the following ticket has been already nominated by the primaries:

For Governor, S. W. T. Lanham, of Weatherford.

         For Lt. Governor, Geo. D. Neal of Navasota.

For Attorney General, Chas. K. Bell of Ft. Worth.

Railroad Commissioner, O. B. Colquit, of Terrell.

For Judge Court Criminal Appeals, W. L. Davidson, Georgetown.

Land Commissioner, J. J. Terrell, of Decatur.

For Comptroller, R. M. Love, Mexia.

For Treasurer, Jno. H. Robbins of Vernon.

For State Supt. of Public Instruction, Arthur Lefevre of Austin.

For Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, W. A. Williams of Crockett.

       Unless there is a contest over the platform there will be but one before the convention, and that will be the one for State Chairman.  The candidates are the present chairman, J. B. Wells, and J. E. Cockrell, of Dallas.  The contest between these gentlemen is fast and furious.
