aoYrusen rnnocn MOTION.

March. 1875, We have already repeat
eddy expressed our preference, but the
time has now come when II IL proper
10 repeat II and 10 give II prominence.
Thatproference has not been influenced
by tho fact that Governor llhrooeae'S
ton isour neIgbborAna friend nor rom :,
the want ofapprecIatIon OF tho merit
of other gentlemen whose names have
boon mentioned In this connecticut
but because Of his eminent services 70
the State and TO the Democratic party
His fitness for tho position VIII mot pc
questioned by any one. Ills ability,
M. experience IN Legislation, his 40
Y -quaInancewltli public men and, above
all, his integrity, fidelity aud states
manshlp, Enthusiastically mark him out
M the man for the position. All these
qualities Justly place him not only
among the forenost.men Of tblshtaie,
but Of the nation, In days OF old no
State was ADLER represented In tho Sen
ate of the United States than Texas
Let Texas send Throokmorton to that
body, and II canb be ngain said thatiio
State viii have m ADLER, truer, or
4 more elllcIentl representative In thnt
a body than lexasI mud every olllsqp,p f
tho State win feel proud Of him ~ his
representative, aud every one VIII
know that every interest OF the State
will have In him M able and efficient
advocate.
IL Ia our deliberate conviction that
the people OF Texas desire him to be
their Senator, and they expect the
Legislature TO reflect their Wishes In
this matter.
Thoolder citizens of this section, md
In fact every part of the State, cherish
the remembrance Of his exertlonsaya
public man In behalf Of the frontier,
not merely to secure protectlon FROM
the Indians, but to perfect to thcaclual
settlers titles totheir lands fiee Of uost,
As a member Of the Legislature, while
he was most attentive 10 the interests
or his immediate constituents MS
broad and comprehensive fstatcsmnn'
ship took In thewhole interests 6f'thc
State, and many of the most valaablei

received their Impress from him; and
among our living statesmen there are
none.who have done so much 70 foster
and develop every Interest ofthe whole
State.
Governor Throckmorton entered pub
lie life over twenty years ago, when
Houston and Rusk represented theState
In the United States Senate, and the
Legislature of the State was composed
ofsuch men as General Burlcson, Peter
M.sGray, Norman, Ffanklin, Meni-
fee, Dancy, Ben, Taryer Maverick,
Hamilton P. Bee, Bogart, Dickson,
y Rmnels, and later, Ashbel Smith, Pot
ter, Grimes, Ochlltree, Shepherd, Pas
call, Wigfall, Stockdalc, Hancock, Nc
9Cullough, Culberson, and, Others Of the
8, very first ability of the State, aud even
among these he always occupied afront
position, and NO, man Of either House
X ever exerted more controlling influ-
ence than he did. And there Is not
aeliberative body in America in which
he would not be q leading and inhuen-
tlal member, because his ability is of
that practical Kind which everywhere
! tells. while his manners conciliate
and, ingrstIates all with whom he'll
comes Ia contact So deeply was
this felt to- be, tic case that
when he was Governor Of the State,
and the military authorities of the
United States were seeking an ex-
cuse to remove him under the recon
struction act of Congress, General Sher-
idan directed General Griffin, who was |
stationed at Galveston to control
4 affairs In Texas, by ITO means to |
iipermitsGove Throckmortoll to see
him, and to have nothing to do with |
him in person, because, he alleged, he |
had seduccd and won over to hisviews
every Federal officer that he had come
In contact with; that 1t was absolute.
