RIGHT ON THE BLAIR BILL.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The stand
taken by The GAzETTE in opposition to
! the Blair educational bill meets with the
appreciation OF the entire Texas delegs-
ton, which may be relied upon to vote
solidly against the measure. The foEcible
and convincing speeches OF Senator's
Reagan and C)ke have been we'll received,
not only here, but in many portions of
the south. As evidence OF this fact, the
following clipped from the Wilmington
(N. c. S.ar in recent editorial on Sena-
tor Coke's speech, shows how the wind
blows ana what they think of Coke
in that state. It says; 1--WE
much DOUBT II there is an
sbler man than Senator Coke OF Texas in
the United States Senate, We have read
four or five speeches by him, and they are
all very able. They are invariably dis
| tinguished for clearness, force and direct
ness. They show mastery of the cub
| jects treated snd are disnifed, judicious
and convincing. He is very aps to be on
| the right side Of questions. The style Of
his speeches is excellent, plain, simple
without establishment, the very refec-
| ton of the luminous and logi-
cal thoughts OF the calm AID
torceful ressoner. The style Is
an admirable vehicle to convey
the mastery argument to the minds OF
the nearer er reader. We have read his
recent speech in opposition to the Blair
bill as It appears in the Congressional
K ecord. II space wss at Our command
We would print the whole Of it. II is his
laird eble speech against the most mis-
kchievous and dangerous bill of our times.
No man living c.n answer the arguments
Of the Senator from Texas, although re-
plies without number m.y be essayed.
We copy a portion OF his speech Of the
IS far as it goes, but il You
