THE TEXAS DELEGATION.

No true Texas can DO lndlllNleNl az
10 the standngaC oar delegation IN con
qrea and no true Texan viii blush for
the one thot a. this time SO honombly
and 10 noby represents our young and
growing state IN the councils OF the mn,
lion, During o roacntyi.it 10 tbe fed
mal capital, we hcaldmony Expressions
Of caruost admralion confidence and
esteem as regarded the eight truly oblo
representative men who carry the ban-
nerol the Lone Star state in the van Of
Che union
They happen all to be men above the
medium in stature rs they are infinitely
above it in brain and devotion to duty,
There are no loggards, and there are no
imbocles, IT is u proud reelection that
when u Texan gots on his feet in either
house he is listened to with respectful
attention, and so far, this session, that
our men have wasted no ammunition,
and won nothing but honor for Them
selves and tho state they love and labor
for unremittingly, lndeedwe can not
express the half Of the satisfaction
we felt when we heard the general Of
the army, the gallant Sherman, say that
those Texans NE gallant, manly fell
lows and they have won the gratitude
Of the,army in their splendid battle
against its reduction"
Senator Maxey enjoys the confidence
Of every honest man in the senate, Of
either party. His life is singularlmly
pure and free from all manner of self
ishncss. man in whom there is nc
guile, but vast deal of good, honest
effort for the state Of which he is i'm
mensely proud Senator Coke, thougl
one Of the youngest senators, IL n MAJ
remarkable because Of his long arduoui
and acceptable Services to his state
Coke would prove man Of mark in any
nssemblIge OF men in chrlst0ndom
With n keen, searching analytical mind
of great grasp, and self composure
evenly balanced, calm and dispassion
ate, already he has attracted the favor
attention Of the kings Of the American
senate, and what more could his stat,
expect or desire. We predict that wher
the times comes he viii not be lounC
wanting nor will his odmuiug constt'
ueuts be disappointed,
In the house we have 'rhrockmorton
one Of the oldest and best of the Texa
representatives. Towering in form ia
above the average representative, viii
a mind bearing close kinship TO hi
massive physique respected and be'
loved by all, even by his bitterest politi
cal opponents on the floor Of the house
Throckmorton never rises to his fee
but what he has the attention OF tha
august body, and what is more, gener
ally carries his point. Ills devotion t,
the Texas and Pacific bill is well know
in the state, and is souudly ratified b,
| a constituency Of which any man il
America may well be proud Whel
this great international route i
completed no name viii be cher
ished more in connection wit
it, than that Of J w Throckmol
/. ton's2 Mr. Reagan, aman known anC
respected all over the state, with ma
| tional reputation us one OF the sound
Eest thinkers and most practical legislo
tors stands thc peer of any in the body
| And infinitely proud are we that h
comes to the support of the Texas an,
Pacific bill with all his splendid quail
ties Of both head and heart undivided
7 Schleicher, the noble man Of the west
colossal in head and person, enjoys
reputation among the solid men OF con
gress that many men would be conten
TO work quarter of Il century to attain
Mills, than whom no man in Washing
ton stands better u high-minded, nobl
hearted christian gentleman of the be-
ter type, a keen penetrating iucisiv
intellect and every power perfect, an
in activ working mdcr. Congress n
less than his state is proud of Mill,
Culberson is giant among the big ones
head, heart and physique, all in harmo
NY, and all capable of intense devotion
to the cause of his constituency and @
the state which inspires the love an,
devotion of all her sons. Colonel Gid
dings the youngest of the delegation, i
by no means the least a prre.heorted
noble man, n gentleman in the best an,
broadcast sense of that houored term
does credit to his district and to tn
state.
No wonder that our Texas delegation
is respected and honored in Washing
ton, for indeed, they deserve it. W.
predict for each and every member
long and useful career and we will b.
the first to weave the chaplct, "wel
done to adorn their brows, both a
individuals and as collective repre-
sentatlon.
