| holds to-day Tennessee was created q
second paradise. Then the angels
| stretched the rainbow from east to west
resting one end in Tennessee and over in
! Texas they placed the other, aud the
| third paradise was created. Ever since
then this royal arch has been stretched
| over the bravest the best and most
chivalrous people created by God for His
| glory. Tennesseaus feel more at home
! in Texas than in any other state outside
| OF their native hills. More than
| 100 900 of her sons aud daughters have
| been given to Texas. When John Sc
vier gathered around him q band of
brave men and looked from a peak IN
the Allegbauies across the Western hori-
Zon they concluded to wrest from the
hand of the savage aud deliver to civili-
cation one of the most magnificent coun-
tries under the sun. In just 100 years,
behold a wilderness blossomIng.
Tennesseeans first led the way.
The body of Old Hickory Jackson lies
in Tennessee soil and the old hermitage
is going TO waste. Noble women of
Tennessee are now pleading for Tennes-
seeans the world over to come and help
make il as beautiful and attractive as
Mount Vernon.
The speaker referred to Davy Crockett
and Sam Houston, brave men, native
Tennesseeans. who fought for the Lone
Star. When the bugle sounded down on
the Rio Grande Tennessee furnished the
volunteers to fight the Mexicans. They
came at the first call ana every shred in
the Texas flag is consecrated with Ten
nessee blood. Tennessee gave you Alb
hntt nd loouad 1nn Tohu 2roun
his grit, push and energy. de built his
railways which made Dallas the pride of
the South. We sent you Throck morto
your mayor and the brilliant Hall. /
don't want to disparage other states,
but / am talking to Tennesseans now.
They have been in all places to assist in
bringing the Lone Star to the front.
What wonderful countryi Rich in re-
sources and rich in brave men ana beau
tiful women. With this. the brightest
star in the constellation we have indeed
a solid South, solid in energy and pluck
and enterprise, and solid in good Demo-
cratic government. Note the develop
ment of the South from 1880 TO 1890.
The war bet xeen brothers left us with
wrecked homes and blasted hopes, but
the old and the young men did not sit
down in despair. They went to work,
and from 1880 to 1890 our agricultural
products increased 80 per cent, fruit so
per cent. saw mill and lumber indus
tries lao per cent, pig IRON 500 per
cent cotton spindles 400 per cent,
railway and winning lis per cent in
creased productive capacity 290 per cent.
1t is solid South, the marvel of the
world, and this is only the beginning.
The child is yet in its swaddling
clothes. There is ouly one problem
we ask the Federal government to solve
and that is to let US alone loud sp-
plause]. There is no negro problem ex..
cept as to how the negro shall vote and
the Australian system. a registration law
and good poll tax will settle that for
the present. Que thing is certain--the
Anglo-Saxon race must and shall rule.
Prolonged applause
l congratulate you on your suspicious
future and on what you have accom-
plished. Tennesseeans of Texas, you
left the most beautiful country in the
world, but the country you sought is
worthy OF the sacrifice. If you ever
weary Of Texas come back to the hills Of
