What bttiier in "icy do we want? What better money can we hav.' We Mr a tin no tlat money; wo want u mon ey based upon agricultural products; we want no money based upon gold auit sliver, tho money ol Juifrrson, Jackson and ('altioiiu. When unhap py FiaiiUit was In the throes of (liHHiilullon, when she waa being shaken from center to circumference hy riot and revolu tion, then it was that communism called aloud for a division ol property that it Wits that anarchy destroyed the law, then it was that socialism ruled the dosllny of France and listen ing to tho siren's song ol tlie reform ni (?) she issued her money called asslg nats and based it upon lands. Though laws were pasHed to punish by con tlueiiie'it in chains, any person spocu lating in the money or refusing to take it for bread, it depreciated and went down and down until today the French ussignat stands as a iiionuiiient to warn other nations against the crimes and followers of llatism. No, we want none of this, and while Mills is in the United H tales senate we know that the constitution will l ) upheld and no laws passed not warranted thereby. JNo. we will have no government own ership of railroads, Communism will not sweep the Union socialism will not crown Mr. Kellamy king. I tell you, fellow senators, there is no place in free America for the chaotic cause of the anarchist, lor the cruel greed of the commu ies, nor the songs of the socialist When these gain power here then blot out our statutes and our constitution; burn up this magniflcont capltol, for we will have no need of it. Lot us preserve them, and to do this we must place none but true Dem ocrats upon watch Such an one is Roger (J. Mills. From Dan to Iter eheba he has been misrepresented and maligned. The enemies ot Demoracy have cam pod upon the t rail and their poisonous shafts have been aimed at this devoted head. I hey liave singled him on t above all ottiers, for well they knew he stood between the peo ple and the wild (antics of the day. Wherever anarchy has built Iter forti fications, wherever communism has pitched her tents, wiierever bla'ed the camp (ires of socialism, the gallant Mills plan ted ids batteries, and in open field led the charge, scatter ing and driving the enemies of De mocracy before him like autumn leaves before the (trifling winds of winter. Let us honor ourselves and honor Texas by giving him every Democratic- vote, that (he world may exclaim, "Republics are not ungrate ful." Then with triumphant tread the re united Democracy will march on to Washington, place the helm of government In t lie hands ofUrover Cleveland and turn the rascals out from president down to postmaster of the lowest grade. Henator (loss of Baylor seconded the n 'initiation in a ten minutes epecli. Henator Hutchison of Hays county placed in nomination Hon. Thomas li. Nugent, late I'opulNt candidate lor governor, In the following speech: Mr. I'roslilt'nt: I have the honor to place in nomi nation before tills honorable body Tiios. li. Nugent, the nominee of (lie People's party, tor United States sena tor irom i his state. A man who rep regents t!ie principles of over Idti.iHH) votes oast m the last election by the People's party in the congressional dis trlots in this state, and the returns show that this vote come (mm the. rural districts comprising the great I labor and producing classes, that class, sirs, which the legislatures for the past thirty years have overlooked and failed to protect and encourage in their Industries but have left them to take care of themselves. And while they have cultivated and tilled the soil, and it hn produced bouutlful crops as a reward for their labor, and which ha been added to the great wealth ot the nation, the laborer by his skill and energy has developed tue varied industries of this country. Vet, sirs, while this class of which I speak has been busily engaged iu de veloping and producing this great wealth which surrounds us every where, they nave been hedged iu by legislators in the pas. that has caused them to pay tribute under the different forms of law, levying and collecting taxes from them, to build up and trap rpari u-rni On flit B U5L Powder The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard maintain some favored industries, ' pursued aud followed by a small ; percentage of our people, un- til they now tiud their hard ; earned products of their labor transferred Irom them to this favored class by this unjust aud unwise class legislation which is contrary to the principles aud true theory upou whicti our government is founded. In advocating reform I unhesitatingly state that the great fiiiauci l problem now betoro the American people is the first, and paramount question above li others iu which the people are now interested. It is a question which a great political party cannot relegate to the rear uuti alter the tariff ques tion is settled as long as the revenue is raised by levying a tax on imported goods to delray the expenses of the government. Therefore iu view of this question we demand as a partial solution ot this quas' ion, the tree coinage ol silver at I lie ratio ol IU to 1 of gold. Aud while we would give this liuaucial relief to the people, as demiiuded by them, we would also reduce the tarilf iu such manner as would ultimately result iu fieoliade, it the best interests of the people demanded it. The party thltt we represent demands that the state Hiid luderal governments shall take back from cot poratious the sovereign power of the government that has been deleguted to them by past legis lation The government, both state and national, iu exercising eminent domain over their lauds si ould have held them for homes for the people, instead of bestowing large grants upon artificial persons. And such lauds as are now illegally held by any corporation should lie recovered aud held as homesteads for actual settlers. Instead of the government conferring tier sovereign power to banking cor porations with power to issue paper to circulate as money among the people, site should e.ercise tills sovereign power as iu duly hound to all the peo ple, and issue all money to be ujed as a circulating medium in sullicieut quantity only as will tie li'-cessary for the transaction o the business of the citizens. And iu .he exercise of her other sovereign power it is her duty to furnish t the people all necessary highways for the transportation uf the people and tiieir commerce. We are struggling to restore this government to the principles upon which it was founded aud to over throw the money power aud monopolists who Control railroud legislation, and to restore it once more to tho people who founded it, that they may manage it and control it iu the interest of all the people, giving no preference by law to one over another so that its benign and protecting hnd may reach out to alMts cit izens alike, aiding each by its laws in a fair and impartial man ner. The man whom I nominate to receive our votes for United .States senator is in accord with us upon all these principles of reform. He bore aloft the banner of reform most gal lantly li the last election aud while that banner went down, its followers fell with tueir feet to the enemy, ready to rise again and renew the fight at the next election and having full faith iu the justice of their cause, will march to victory. Henator Deano of El Paso s ecohded tlie nomination nl Mr. Mills. Henator McComb of Montgomery also sec onded the nomination of Mr. Mills. Henator Jesfer of Navarro also seconded the nomination of Mr. Mills. He spoke as follows: Mr. Pr Bidtmt, and Fellow Senators: History teems witli records of revo lutions that have caused the rise and lull ot empires as well as political pal lida, but the appeal to arms ol half a century ago has now given way tothe soverei.'nty ol the ballot, and it can tie truly said that "Peace bath her victories no less renowned thau we," for today we rejoice that the people have by the latter means placed the control of the government of the United States in the keeping of the political party that was born with it, whose principles are a part ot the constitution of the great nation. For nearly a third of a century the Republican party with its protection policy and class legislation has been enriching the lew at the expense of the maay, wliiletho Democratic party has continued to battle for the eman cipation of the people. Hvery great isue has brought into prominence gallant leaders, who have dared to stand up for the rights. Like tlie plumed knights of old, the great apostles of tariff reform raised their shibboleth, no matter what other issues prevailed, and victory has finally perched upon tlie'r banners. '1 weuly years ago a memorable state Democratic convention assembled in the city of Cors cana, theu a small village, delegates coming from faraud near by rail, in wagons, buggies and on horseback. The villagers were unable to entertain so vast a body and many staked their horses and cum nod at niirht. Tills convention was composed of 'lVxss' greatest and purest statesmen, among whom were Governors hub. hock, Throckmorton, Hubbard, Hani lleli Maxey, Judge McLean, Governor Hogg, who had scarcely arrived at his majority, aud many others. Hon. John H. Heagan. who was at that time stilt a disfranchised citizen of the United States, on account of the posi (ion he had occupied in the Confeder ate cabinet, was called upon to preside over that grand body. Tlie'e patriots hail assembled to counsel together for the lwo-fM pur pose or redeeming Texas irom ttepuo lican misrule and to nominate two candidates for oongress from the state at large. One of Die standard bear ers for I he latter position was compara tively unkuowu in politics, but he akin BURKS AND SCALDS. re quickly relieved by applying Russia Salve.

Redding & Co, BOSTON,r4ft5S. had already received his baptismal tira in war In defense of his country, and his initiation into statesmanship during the trying years of reconstruction has worthily entitled him to the soubriquet of "the lion of the tribs of Judah " .Since tiiat memorable convention his acts have become a part of the his tory of the nation, aud from the At lantic to the Pacific, from the snow capped Sierras to the sunny shores of the gulf he Is known and honored as the great champion ol tariff reform. This is the patriot and statesman we are met here today to honor with the highest gilt the Lione ritar State can bestow. Texas has many able and worthy sons that would truly reflect honor and credit upou her in the United States senate, but the state aud na tion has already made the nomination, aud it only remaius for us as repre sentatives ot this great state to reflect the will of the people by electing to that high oHice my neighbor and friend from childhood, linger Q Mills. Mr. President, I heartly second the nomination. Senator Atlee of Webb, iu a brief speech seconded the nominatien of Mr. Mills. Senator Kearby in bf half ot the uu territied and organized Democracy of the Seventh district, seconded the nomination of Mr. Mills. Henator Pressler seconded the nomi nation of Mr. Mills as the man who succeeded the illustrious Sam Hous ton just as Napoieou succeeded Char lemagne in France. At 1(.:30 p. m. the senate proceeded to ballot which resulted as follows: Roger ti Mills 29, Thomas L. Nugent 1, (Hutchison.; Adjourned uutill today at 10 a. m. HOUSE. The houe met with 8peaker Cocli ran in the chair and a quorum pre'-ent. Petitions, etc., were presented aud referred as follows : By Mr. Faubiou From citizens of Williamson county, asking for the establishment ot a state normal school at Liberty Hill. Mr. Hood of Parker From citizens of the county, asking that a fcp.cial license to practice medicine iu Texas be grauted to VV. A. Morgan. Mr. Newton Memorial of William 8. Cannon for relief Other petitions were From citizens of Sterling county, asking that a por tion of Tom Green couuty be placed within the limits of Sterling couuty. .From citizens of Cojtfb county against taking1 part of that county for a new oue. By Mr. Dashrell From citizens of Leon connty asking that the county be placed under the operation of the game laws. After the introduction of some reso lutions aud a number of bills the houBe proceeded with the duty ol electing a United States senator. Hon. H. Q Mills was nominated by Representative T. S. Henderson of Milam iu the following telling speech: Mr. Speaker, Members of the Ilousn of Re .ro sunt .live. , Ladies and uei.tli'iiicD: This occasion biings for our consid eration one of t lie highest duties en trusted to us by the people of out state. From her earliest statehood, Texas has reserved the office ol Uuited States senator as the crowning honor for her most excellent, her noblest sons, aud the role is bright with the names of Houston, ol Husk, of Wigfall, of Hemphill, ot Roberts, of Maxey, ot Reagau and ot Coke, and ot others no less illustrous. Aud today we are to add another star to that galaxy. In deed it now glitters there with a lustre ii ml i mined by the radiance ot companion lights. t his is a supreme moment, not only iu the annals of Texas, but of the whole country. With unflinching purpose aud with pat.euce un exampled in history, the Democratic party has tJt more thau twenty years battled for the deliverance ol the people of this Union from the burdens ot unjust tax ation. The conflict has been fierce and the marches have been long and weary, but with confidence unabated we have followed the pillar ol cloud by day and of the bv- night, aud at l.tst, praise be to the God of hosts, the walls of Jerricho have fallen down oe fore our victorious legions, aud the United Stales senate is again in the hail 1s of the people. All along men have passed in and out of the tight, beariug tuemseives with valor and honor, but through the wtiole struggle one valiant liou hearted man has auswered "here" to every roll call, aud with constant aud exalted purpose refused to circum scribe his actions by the narrow lines of state or section, and with eyes turn ed upou the whole country, in words of convincing and burning eloquence, proclaimed the imperishable gospel -of equal right to all, special privileges to none from famed Buuker's Hill to the golden gate, from the Ice bouud lakes ot Minnesota to the gentle waters of the gulf. Older as a tarilf reformer, than G rover Cleveland or Carlisle, I preeeot to you tor the ofllce of Uuited States senator the matchless statesman, Roger Q. Mills of Texas. 1 need not speak his praises in this presence, nor recount his great serv ice as to the state, for they are known to all; nor shall I presume to indulge iu personal reminiscence but shall rather leave that pleasant privilege to a distinguished gentleman who now occupies a seat in this house, aud whi. has been the lite-long friend of Mr. Mills, aud who, on one memora ble occasion, theu in the full zenith of his splendid powers, felt the weight of his lance in the political arena. But yielding tor a moment to my own feelings, and speaking for the young. aspiring invincible character, 1 de sire to pay brief tribute to his exalted character. there are are many spleDdid names among the great men of Texas, but that of no .. ..-j fnmiF nearts i ed otuer man siauuo b-j u. as the uame ot Roger . wins. intrepid as Rupert, as sesolute as the I i rill steadfast as Stone- uJi.ii Junksoii. he has made a more lasting impression on the peo ple of this state tnan any mau of his time. And, as a leader, his name has Aver heen to us a talisman oi unfailing victor v. And a blast trom his bugle will cull to instant action, the sturdy young manhood of Texas, from the marts of trade.from the shop, from the forest, from thy farm aud from the dis tant ranch. His name, too great :o be confined by the boundaries of our own state, has been called by the tongue cf fame to evry corner of the earth where sentiment of freenom and jus tice abide in the hearts ol men. The love for the people of Texas for this man has been aud is unstiuted and beyond expression, and today, nassiuir bv every other loved and noble son. the whole heart of Texas Democracy, unbroken by faction, uu disturbed bv strife, turns with atfec tion to him and declares him worthy of the hiffh oil ice named Therefore, Mr. Speaker aud gentle men of the house, in accordance with the promptings of my heart, and in obedience to the comtnacds of the whole Democracy, I nominate this peerless son of Texas, Roger Q Mills, to succeed himself in the Benate of the Unittd Htates as the representative In that august body of the proudest. slid grandest state in the American union. The nomination of Col. Mills was seconded iu the most eloquent terms by Hou G. P. Finley of Galveston. Hon. B. A. Calhoun of NacogdacheB, a representative-elect of the Third party, earnestly and eloquently sec onded the nomination of Hon. T. L. Nugent who was the nominee of the Third party for governor of the state at the last election. The nomination of Col. Mills was further seconded in glowing words by Beall of Ellis who spoke a follows: Mr. Speaker and Geutlemeu of the House: As an admirer aud supporter of the Hon. R. Q. Mills by inclination and not by necessity, iu obedience to my own desire and not at the suggestion of any faction, in the name of the Democracy of Texas and not in the interest ot any portion thereof, I de sire to add my tribute iu seconding his nomination. The story of his file has already been told. You have seen him, as a young man, leave his home in that state whose history has been so fraught with the name and tame of her illus trious soua aud turn his face to this splendid empire state of the South. You have ridden with him upon the field amid the frightful scenes of carnage that tinged the waters of every purling stream' of our South laud with the blood of Earth's bravest and made every sun kibsed mountain top the charnel house of Southern chivalry. Vou have Been him there wearing with knightly grace the noblest crown that ever decked the brow of mortal man, the chapletof glory that wreaths the name of every worthy soldier of the Southern Confederacy. You have stood with him in the supremest hour o' his lite. It was a time when the cheeks of brave men blanched with fear, when the mother's song was milled and the infant prattle was hushed intosileace by the grim spectre that stalks through our laud. It was the time when the protection of law was overthrown, when the God-given right of telt-government was denied; when the constitutional safeguards were trampled under unhallowed feet, theu this knightly man entered the arena and with impetuous zeal helped to drive the hireling hords from power. In the hall ot national legislature you have heard his footfalls keeping time to the onward march of the people of his state. You have seen htm as a trained gladiator stripped fur the tight, oftimes deserted bv his party adherents, struggling solitary and alone for the triumph ot some cher ished principle, or for the de eat of some invasion of the people's right. Time has always witnessed the tri umph of his policy or the viudicalion of his contention. In all the splendid encomiumns of tbe gen tlemen who have preceded me, you have heard but fitting tributes paid to the soldier who has loved couuiry more thau life, to tbe partisan who has loved party more than self, to tbe statesman who has loved principle better than pirty, to this splendid type ot American citizenship, who lias labored for his country with more than Napoleonic courage aud to whom tbe murky shadows of a water loo must ever remain unknown. Iu his life we find the corupletest vindi cation of American idea aud Ameri can institution- As we read the story of bis lite, as a young man with only the royal blood of honesty in his veins, with only tbe nobility that goes band in hand with integrity aud courage and lofty aspirations, aud how theu panoplied aud equipped he nas risen step by step to the high est position conferred by a state, we realize that ocly under such a gov ernment as ours and in such a laud as ours, could such a thiug be pos sible, lie is a man who has never quailed before the ftown of foe; a mau who has never betrayed a friend. Ha is a man who has for the moment felt the humiliation of defeat, aud he is a man who in victory as well as defeat has stood without a stain on his fair name. It is chiefly upon his achieve ments in the lower houte of congress where he has been the valiant leader in the assault upon the entrenchments of the enemy that his claim to an indurlng name defends He beheld the people paying tribute in tbe torni of an un just and unnecessary taxation. He saw poverty under dominion of wealth; he saw labor In bondage to idleness; he saw one section of our commou country clothed in rags and another clothed in silk. He saw the the robber hand of governmental tax ation take from those who labored and gave to those who were idle. He saw the republic lashing loose its marri age that bad held it where tbe lather had placed it. He saw tbe direful spectre of centraliza ion castibg its shadows athwart our land and hit voice raug out the alarm. The roar ing winds of winter have not stilled that voice; the burning heat of sum mer has not caused the man to falter. 1 he defection of tbe faint hearted baa never daunted him, the chastisement or party detect nas never overwhelm. Bold and undaunted he ihas waed the battle among me cotton Held of the South, the wheat fields of the North, among the towering chimneys of the manu facturing KaBt and uutier tne suauow of the snow crested mountains of the West until his name has become known more than that of any other mau as the leader in the crusade for i.h ummiciDation of industry and labor. .... Mr. Mills must be elected today nj the Democracy of Texas, and not l y any factiou, whatever may have been the uuiortuuaie nivisiou oi me in our state during the past year; to day both factions must ground tiieir arms and loin hands in honoring this oiau, lor in nonoiuig iiuu we uuuui Texas. If Mr. Mills, who stands at his post of duty in the city of Wash ington, could be with us in spirit, it would be to whisper into the er of each Dotuocrat here au earueat plead ing for peace. If his voice could be heard, it would pray for '.he restora tion of good feeling and friendship that once marked our existence as a party. We must not, we cannot be enemies; we must be friends. We are bouud together by the strongest ties, too strong for tbe tumult of passion to dissolve. We have rejoiced together over victories won; wo have sorrowed together over defeats Incurred. We trace our political lineage to tbe same great source. Let us turn our bacK upon the unfortunate strife of the past, turu our faces to the future, and with the iriumpn oi rigni lec us lock shields and march against the common enemies of our party. An important duty confronts the De mocracy today, and every section stands pledged to the fulfillment of its part. New York aud Texas join hands today iu the performance of their work New York the Jewelled queen of the Nonh, Texas the gar landed queeu ol the South. New York gives to the uation the services of her iavorite ,ou, that great states man whose every wish is keyed in unison with the want ot the people, that victory crowned leader of Democ racy, Grover Cleveland. Teja will give again to tbe nation for seivic s of her most distinguished son, that cour ageous and invincible leader, that strong right arm upon which our president in days past learned to lean, our own Roger Q. Mills On motion of Representative Wil son of Harrison the nominations were "losed and the house proceeded to ballot. The result was announced as fol lows: For Roger Q. Mills 114 For Thus. L.
