John Grant for n cabinet position was
handed the major. It is a monster peti

taining 10Ji,H(K names of republicans en
dorsing Mr. Grant. Tho memorial is as
follows;
The republicans mid citizens of till
parties of Texas join in present
ing their compliments and felicita
tions, and their evidences of good
will toward you, our newly-eleitod presi
dent. We, their representatives, duly
elected, are hearers at tho congratula
tions of tho people of Texas, and the as
surance of their allegiance and co-opera
tion in making your administration a
profitable and successful one to the whole
country and the entire peoplo.
lexas, with her iKiiindless expanse ot
territory, her millions of voiceless acres,
her peopled longucs. her endless tin-is of
tilled and tonnnntod farms, where groan
ing cribs declare the gifts of nature, her
spreading ranches upon whose bosom
fi-cd. fatten and romp the hordrmcn s
kino, her milled face and fro-vpiug js-aks
with silver lining and intorn.il -.vealih of
ore and fuel, her forest fastross, that
shall shelter teeming niilli-ms, giving the
cottage to tho many and the palace to tho
few, her great sea of richest loam, whoso
furrowed breast is clothed iu autumn
with the pale fibre of Dixie, that nhali
pass the gauntlet of hurrying loom and
whirring spindle, employing the lalnir and
capital of the land and giving raiment to
the multitudes of other continent4, her
southern slopes, whoso shores are kissed
by the wooing waves of the gulf Ptreani
anil upon whoso breast is Ixirne away on
ocean monsters the export piiH!uct.- of the
great southwest, these gifts of niture and
of artifice, beyond tho power of enumera
tion, and tho people as if one, stand mute
and motionless, with eyes lieanilng with
hope turned toward the rising sun
of " protection and prosperity. The
empiro of Texas will break her
wine upon the dock of the new
ship of state mid bid it a safe jour
ney ajid wish it bon voyage. She has as
groat an interest in national progress as
anyof her sister states and will contribute
to the common fund of filial support etiuo
to the best. As the helmsman that xliull
direct the course of the bark that boars
ns all, we hail and salute you. From the
masthead let the stare and strips ever
Is'deck the breezes, and benrath its folds
we pledge you ail the patriotic aid in sus
taining the honor und credit of our na
tion and our people, that Texas manhood
boasts. Yon tire, the people's choice, and
wise it was. It rent the cl.mds of nd-,
versity and doubt und let in the ray ol
hope and cheer that nurtures prosperity
and creates plenty. .
In tho councils that shall deliberate ov
er and settle the ouestions. grave but
common to us all, we would bespeak wis
dom, ou need aid, but 'tis wise to nor-
rr.iv tell l-,nr.h mil nnd Iillick frolll the
lap of the commonwealth their gifted
ones. lrf-t no lines- of latitude, i-jngunoc
nor tradition rise uo to xhnt ont section

their ou'ti ili.Htinu.K. At vour ollicial fam
ily fireside let the son 6f the new south
mimrle with liim of tho north: let tliO At
lantic strike hands with the Pacific; then
will we have union in word and in deed.
In the name of the new south nnd the
Ixine Star State, wo would present for
your consideration a favored son. with
whose merits we are familiar. lie hjs
sexxes all the attributes of greatness. A
horn leader of the wonle and one they
delight to follow. Ix-cause hix 'heart is
with them and neither inducement nor
ilnntrer will drive li i m from the line nlong
which dutv lies. He is able, having
delved into the problems of the hour and
found the needs nnd wants of the nation
and the individual: natriotie. laying nsid
self interest, to serve his country and his
people thut they might bo safe even
though he suffers; with a clear discerning
mind to fix his course, and with courage
to impel him onward to the end in view.
A man of results, like the Grant of old.
never yielding a situation till the day is
won. With will of iron and nerve of
stool that neither multitudes nor methods
cun dismay. True to conscience as the
needle to tjie pole; fixed in loyalty to
friend and fair to foe. 'Twas he who
pierced the gloom of Texas; broke down
the barriers between political M-rfdom
and emancipation and led the republican
hosts into the clear light of day. It was
he, who, like the mngnet, drew the scat
tered fragments into one nnd made tho
thing of weakness into a tower of
strength. His honor, his wisdom and his
valor have constituted the guiding star
that has iK-ckoned onward the force that
will ultimately redeem our state from the
thralldom of prejudice and will linry Inn
cy in the grave of fact. Ho it was who
sounded the cal to arms for the .Napo
leon" of modern politics nnd led the scat
tered bands to victory against the mar
shalled hosts of antiquity, and planted
the McKinley banner in the land of the
Alamo. We present you a man whose
foundation is his honor and his ilutj :
whose integrity is tho cornerstone of his
citadel; whose acts are inspired by the
needs of his country, his homo, his friends
and his party. Wo commend him to you
to do so with the abiding faith that no
danger can dismay nor temptation shape
Inm. I lie essence of his mind and prompt
ing of his heart will be at his country's
disposal.
Texas bids the nation take into her
councils him of whom we speak, her gift
ed son, John Grant of Texas, and we
feel, honored sir, that contact with him
will cement a lore lietween , you that
neither time nor trouble will sorer, anil
opportunity will crown you Villi grati
tude to Texas, nnd him with fresh
glories. x
KKASOXS ADVANCED.
Among tho reasons which wore advanc
ed by the Texas delegation as to why a
cabinet position should be granted to
Texas were the following:
First It may not bo a nuttier of gen
eral knowledge, but it is a fact, never
theless, that at the recent election, Texas,
which cast in 18112 only 71.000 votes for
Gen. Harrison, east 174,000 for Maj.
McKinley, showing an increase of ni
proximately 150 per cent, a showing nev
er equaled by any )M)litical party in any
state iu the Union at any time iu tho his
tory of the ITuion.
Second Texas cast more rcouolicnn
votes than any state south of the Mason
and Dixon line, except Kentucky.
Third rTexas cast more Republican
votes than any state west of the Missis
sippi river, except Missouri. Iowa and
Minnesota.
Fourth Texas cast- more republican
votes than eleven out of ihe twenty-throe
stales which went for Maj. McKinley
and oust their electoral votes for him.
This position is not asked in the inter
est of any one man alone, but is asked to
foster the growth of republicanism iu
Texas, which has made such an enormous
advance in the hist four years. The
cotton, lumber, sugar and -.attic indus
tries demand protection.
The people sec that in the republican
party lies the only hope of progress in
the south, nnd more particularly in Texax
and that the proper recognition of the
state and fosturiug of her indnstrk-s will
safely place Texas in the republican col
umn. The people, nut only of Texas, but of
the south, agree that the south is due
some recognition, and many of tho south
ern states unite with Texas in her re
quest to be given a representative in the
cabinet.
Never since the day of Garfield has
there Ix-on u southern representative in a
republican caliinet, and not only Texas,
but the south, now ask that a n-nn really
of a southern state lie made a member of
Maj. McKinley's ollicial family.
The republicans of Texas, believing that
to the south' is due recognition, more thnu
they have received iu recent years, held
a convention in Dallas on the lilth of .No
vember. At this meeting there wi re rep
resentatives from all portions of tho state,
which was the largest republVan gather
ing ever hold in Texas, except a state
convention, and composed of the lx-st cit
izens of Texas. Kesolutions wore adopt
od requesting that a cabinet position Im
given the south and particularly to Texas
as n reward for past and as an incentive
for future work. It was decided .it this
meeting to ask Ihe oo-opora I ion of the
south to assist Texas in her endeavor to
secure cabinet recognition. As a result
of this meeting aproximately two-thirds
of the delegates and alternates and ineiii-lx-rs
of the state committees in the states
covering the territory from Miryland to
I'tah hare written Maj. .McKinley ask
ing that tho south be re-coguined and that
they, ns individuals, endorsed the man
Texas had nominated.
Texas, at the meeting held in Dallas in
November, hnd by unanimous rote decid
ed to memorialize the presidon asking
that ho appoint as a momh.n of bis of
ficial family the man who had found
Texas. U'hiii his election as state chair
man absolutely unorganized, so far as re
publican politics were i-onci-rnod. I "poll
his induction into office of state chairman
of the man whom Texas wishes to honor,
lie found not more than forty ociintics
out of n total of 5ti4, had even so much o!
an organization as a county cluirni.tn.
not a single line of, writing nor tho name
of a single man was turned orer to him.
When the recent cainpaign begun there
was furnished to tho campaign commit
tee a complete list of the county chair
men", precinct chairmen and ward chair
men for every county and town in
Texas: also a list of nauioR and
addresses of 12,000 republicans, cov
ering the imtire state of Tex

accomplished wholly by his own elt'orts
without one cent of linanoiil assistance
from any man in the state, and carried 1
