anticipated, although we had hoped
that In the new distribution of State
officers the CLANS of Northern Texas
would have received fuller recogni-
ton. 13t. ta a
HONORABLE RICHARD COKE,
Nominated for Governor, was born in
williamsburg Virginia, on March ID,
1929, and consequently will be forty
seven years of age in March proximo.
He was educated at William and Mary
College and received his legal educa-
ton at the hands of Beverly Tucker,
professor of law in that institution.
He came to Texas in October, 1850,
located at Waco and has lived there
since. In September, 1866, he
was appointed District Judge Of the
10Th Judicial District, by Provisional
Governor A. j. Hamilton. After the
adoption of the Constitution of 1866,
he was nominated OH the Democratic
ticket, headed by Throckmorton for
Governor, for one of the Justices of
the Supreme Court Of the State, and
was elected. Just one year from Sep
TENDER, the date at which he entered
upon the bench, he was removed by
General Griffin, as an impeachment to
reconstruction. Returning to the prac-
tiee of law at Waco, lie devoted him
self to the duties Of his profession un-
til nominated for Governor by the
great Democratic Convention of Sep
TENDER 3D., 1873. In company with
Lleutenant-C Governor Hubbard, he
made an exhaustive campaign over the
State, and their united efforts largely
contributed to the overwhelming de.
feat of the Radicals at the polls, and
utter annihilation of their power in
the state.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR II. b., ,HUB-
BARD y4sA4nsa
has long occupied prominent
position in the politics of Eastern
Texas. He has filed several impor-
tant positions in the State, among
them that of Elector and Represent
tative. AS presiding officer of the
Senate he has won golden opinions all
over the State, and in his memorable
vote upon the international Railroad
Bill, he evinced that wise statesman
ship which has characterized his en-
tire official career. He is an accom-
plished, forcible and most eloquent
speaker, and he possesses in wonder
full degree the power Of magnetizing
large assemblies at the hastings. His
extended experience prominently fits
him for this most honorable position.
MAJOR ii. II. BOONE
Is the bravest and most
gallant of men. Severely wounded
and permanently manned in
the late civil war, he returned to the
practice of law in Southern Texas.
where he has taken leading position
among the strongest bar in the State.
He is exceedingly popular in the coun-
ty of Grimes, where he resides, as well
as elsewhere throughout the State.
The very warm and unselAsh regard
evinced for him by Major William M.
Walton, his strongest competitor, Is
Indicative of the popular feeling
throughout the State wherever this
distinguished gentleman is known. Il
= - STEPHEN II. DARDEN, ~ I
OF Caldwell, as Comptroller, could
have been beaten by no opponent. His
unimpreachable integrity of character,
suave manners, and gentle disposition
has endeared him to all with whom he
has ever been associated.
He was the nominee of the Conven-
ton of 1873, upon the same ticket,
headed by Coke, and his personal pop
ularity and exalted character contrib
uted not little to the redemption of
our State and the success of our party.
1t was eminently fitting to confer
upon him the position he has filed so
and with such dlstin-
giished ability. - y az -
