POLITICAL HITS.
MORE PAPERS ARE COMPLIMENT
ING JUDGE 4. w. TERRELL.

!, dDle anu eiOqueuI duureSS OF Judge Ier
n rell, delivered on the night of the Stl
inst. before large mixed assemblage o
his fellow citizens in Austin. The ques
d tions discussed are of vast magnitude anC
of grave import to the American people
And if in this bravely spoken and bril-
] liant Grafton he has not solved the ques
q tions in manner satisfactory to all, h,
has at leaset blazed the way by which
thoughtful minds of patriots may be leaC
to sound conclusions. These questions
are on the country, and must be met ant
settled, or else peace and prosperity vii
cease to be known in our country. The
greed of capital and of organized labor
for money and power must be repressed
in order to preserve the freedom of the
rnorganized classes, and maintain
intact the constitutional anG
statutory guarantees of the civil liberties
heretofore enjoyed by US as the bequest
of wise and brave ancestry and which
1t Is our duty to transmit unimpaired to
our children. While the recent strife was
being waged between organized railway
capital and labor, and commerce was par
alyZed, other aspirants for high official
position stood dumb witnesses of the
struggle, with no suggestions of means
to restore peace, and preserve the rights
of the masses from destruction at the will
of one or both of these belligerent par
ties. To the credit of Terrell, be it said,
he threw his gauntlet in the faces of both
of them, and in his great speech at Aus
tim, outlined the dangers to be appre-
hended from each of them, and pointed
the way in which these giants might be so

great public. And this speech is we'll
worthy of careful perusal, and whether it
has minor defects, open to amendment,
or not, 1t is brave statesman's effort to
lead and light the way to the Just solution
of questions on which hang the peace and
liberties of our conntry.

Gov. Ireland and DR.. Yandell are
neither related by consanguinity or Atm
ity.-Enterprise.
Perhaps the relation is only -Seguin-
ity. Only this, and nothing more.
Judge Terrell has no more ardent ad-
mirer and supporter than Imboden, of the
Bosque Blade. Last Thursdays Blade
summed up the Travis man as follows:
Terrell is not demagogue. He is
friend to the poor man and the poorer
classes as against corporations and mo-
nopOlies. He sees and denounces the
great evils that have been tolerated in
this country, and prescribes certain Just
remedies. There is as little demagogism
about him as about any man living. He is |
just what he is, nothing more. He is A. |
w. Terrell He is the boldest anti-corpo-
ration advocate in the south He is the |
brainiest and the fairest of all our public !
men. He is splendid senatorial timber.
Though opposed to prohibition, he is the
peoples friend, and the staunchest demo-
crat, the orator, the statesman, the pat |
riot.

In compliance with a general demand
on the part of our readers, we give them
this week a full text of the recent great
speech of Hon. A. w. Terrell, on the sub
ject of the conflicting condition of capital
and labor, and the dangers with which
their present strained relations are men,
acing the country Judge Terrell comes |
perhaps as near, if not nearer, than any
other man in Texas, to possessing the
brain and foresight of a genuine states
man. Resorting to none of the tricks of |
the wire-worker. he mas been held in the
background of political preferment, but
his utterances have always rung out clear
and acceptably to the people. His enc
mics can allege nothing against him, but
are wont to accept the mention of his
name for public position with shrug or
a sheer, or something to indicate that his
admirers did not know all about him.
Such tactics to keep a great man
down will no longer do, when the
country is menaced with a great dan
ger and he comes forward, suggesting a
comprehensive and statesmanlike rem
edy. There is no demagoguery in Ter
rell, and none in his speech. Neither is
there fanaticism or extremeism. He is
equally as afraid of the commune as he
is of the capitalist; and looking into the
matter he discerns the true nature of the
disease and suggests reasonable remedy.
Unselfish and patriotic, broad, compre-
hensive and conservative, Alex. w.
Terrell stands out as the man of the
hour. This great utterance of his will
do to save. 1t will serve as a gnide for
The present, and, many of his former
ltterances, will do to preserve as proph-
ecy in the future.
COmanChe Town and County.
Hon. Alexander Watkins Terrell is one
IF the candidates for the succession to the
United States senatorship now filled by
Hon. 5. B. Maxey. So far as heard from
here are two others, Mr. Maxey himself
md his excellency Hon. John Ireland, our
present governor. All three of them are
able men and any one of them will fill the
position creditably. We believe however,
hat Mr., Terrell is somewhat in advance,
If the Others in breadth of perceptions,
luicknesss of thought and independence
If action.
The Calvert Courier.
A. w. Terrell is the ablest man in Tex
Is to-day, and should be placed in the
.. S. Senate in Maxey's stead, when the
line comes to make the change.
