States senate, but, being devoid of states
manship, he can never get there.
Every public utterance of A. W. Ter
rell must impress the intelligent people
of Texas that he is one among the f0w
really able statesmen we possess. Rarely,
indeed are the momentous questions of
! the hour handled with such mastery gras p
and far-reaching foresight. He is the
Gladstone of Texas, and of all the candi-
dates before the people, deserves and
would honor Office.

We present the readers of the News this
week with the great speech of Hon. A. W.
Terrell, delivered at Austin, April 8. The
subject is one of deep interest to the
whole country, and one which statesmen
and politicians have Stunned. The Judge
has revealed some living truths, and the
speech has created sensation. Read it.
The Weekly Bulletin.
Hon. A. w. Terrell delivered himself of
an able philippe against corporations at
Austin, on the Sth. Mr.. Terrell is an able
man, and eloquent speaker, and in him
corporations and monopolies have an in
veterate and implaeable enemy.
The Walnut Gazette.
We have before US the great speech of
Hon. A. w. Terrell, delivered at Austin on
the 9Th instant. We have intended to
present a synopsis of the speech to our
readers, but after a careful review we con
clude that no synopsis can convey an idea
of the address. Nothing can be submit
ted without marring the symmetry and
harmony of the grand array of important
subjects that now command the attention
of the people of the state and nation.
We do not personally know Mr.. Terrell,
and think it very likely we shall spend the
remainder of our days in the same state
of ignorance of him, but we do like sense,
logic, rhetoric and facts, and hope to re-
tain this liking to the end, and hope
also TO be able to see and appreciate such
things, whether they come from cold or
warm blooded beings. q Mr.. Terrell has
delivered a great speech, one that any
American may well be proud of, whether
he indorses it i'll all points or not. Get it,
read it, put it away, and read it again
after awhile.
Dodd City Weekly Spectator.
Wonder of wonders the Paris News,
even, admits that Judge Terrell's famous
Austin speech is master production
from a wonderful mind. An interview
with the grand old Roman" (?) is now in
order. But anything or any way, but let
him place himself on record on the issues
of the day.
The Colorado Graphic.
We present to our readers this week the
great speech delivered in Austin last
week by the Hon. A. w. Terrell, candidate
for the United States senate. To those
who watch the drifting current of events,
to those who read the future through the
horoscope of present conditions, the
speech is full of meaning and laden with
warnings that indicate no satisfactory
state of affairs.
Mr. Terrell's speech is his formal an
nouncement of his candidacy for the
United States senate. 1t is his platform
OF principles and his manifesto. His ut
terances are not clever-phrased ideas of
dreamer, nor the illusions of an orator to
please the fancies of his hearers. They
are the words of a grave, wise, earnest
statesman. They have been weighed in
the balances of equity and justice and
handed to his people. Do they indicate
his fitness for the position he asks? Do
they sound of craftsmanship? Do they
indicate ability to grapple these issues
with the hand, with the mind of a master?
We think they do. Let every citizen read
and ponder the document prescribed in
these columns to-day, and if Terrell's
ability and craftsmanship are sufficiently
demonstrated; if his superiority over all
Others is plain enough, and we think it is,
Texas owes it to herself and her best in
terests to send him to the senate.
Nat. q. Henderson says he will do his
durndest to beat Terrell for the senate.
Terrell is solid for the vote of Travis, and
the great west will roll up solid vote for
for him.
The Bosque Blade.
There are some Objectionable features
in A. W. Terrell, but they are about as few
as can be found in any of our public men,
and be his faults what they may, he is a
steadfast, open and abOve-board friend to
labor as against rich corporations and
grinding monopolies. and for this he is
to be commended and should be suitably
rewarded. 1t is due the cause of labor and
its interests that Judge Terrell be elected
by the next Legislature to the United
States senatorship, made vacant by the
expiration of Sam Bell Maxey's term.
Terrell is the open and avowed advocate
and friend of labor and of laborers .....
If General Ross will go before the people
and run his own race he will in all proba-
bility win. But so long as his candidacy
is represented by an organ that INDUCES
in nothing but abuse, his chances are ex
ceedingiy 81 m.

The biggest strike on railroad corpora
tions yet made was the speech of Judge
Alex. W. Terrell, made at Austin, the other
night. 1t was his opening campaign
speech. The invectives hurled against
corporations and monopolies cannot be
successfully answered by any one of his
distinguished opponents, and yet neither
of them will subscribe to his speech.
Hamilton Herald.
Hon. A. w. Terrell sounded the key
note of his campaign for U. S. senator in
Austin on the night of the Sth inst. in an
exhaustive and scholarly address upon the
great question of the day, the relation of
capital and labor, in which he displayed
the magnitude and abilities of model
statesman, unequaled by any man in the
state, and one who is able to grasp and
deal with the living issues of to-day II
