ment, it appears to me that it will be consist
ent with my sense OF duty to the public to be-
come candidate for governor at the next
election, and if nothing supervenes to change
this opinion, my friends may rest assured that
will not dsappoint their expectations. The
main effort of the opposition will be to try TO
have the people believe that my candidacy is
an alliance or coalition with the republican
party, and ifpossible make the contest appear
TO be really between the democrats and repub-
licans. This is what they did in 10 and again
in rs, though they knew their candidate had
the support of the republican administration
and relied upon it as an assurance of success.
1t is a matter of history that A. b. Norton and
Stillwell Russell actually got up meeting at
Dallas and nominated a republican in the in
terests of bourbonsm, and yet | was de-
nounced as a republican, though every we'll
informed man in the state knew the charge
was wholly without foundation. In 1880 the
charge was repeated, and my congressional
record referred to in proof of it, while their
republican allies, notably Judge McAdoo,
charged to the republicans that was an incor
rigible bourbon, and referred to my congress
sional record to prove it, alleging that when
my votes were analysed it was clear that was
faithful to their principles, though l did not
bear the name of democrat Such will doubt
less be the bourbon role in this canvass
