being unanimously called for responded. He
said that when the Democratic party was
heard from in solemn council assembled, as
on this OCCASION and sent forth its DEGREES,
that true Democrats and patriots paid heed
to them and obeyed them. Immense APP
plause He appeared before the convention
to say that its nominees would receive his
hearty, earnest, Jealous support. AS he. if be
had been the nominee of the party, would have
expected the support of all Democrats, so
did he propose 10 accord that support which
his opponent had the same right to expect of
him. To those who opposed him he desired
to say that he WIS thankful that their oppo-
stion had been an honorable, manly one, and
he was proud to know, that with few ex-
ceptions, no one had impugned his motives
in becoming candidate tor governor, nor as
sailed his personal character. He
had become candidate for
governor actuated only by honora le mo-
tives. He and Governor Roberts had differed
on issues vital to all the best interests of
Texas, and as the second officer in the adj
ministrstion he felt it his duty, an obligation
upon himself, as due to Texas, as due to the
Democratic party, as due himself, to make
the issue before the pc pie. To his
friends who had stood by HIM, he desired to
say that he would never. forget them.

but he would never let fade from his memory
and his heart the fidelity of his friends. He
