"Mr. Mayor and Fellow-Citizens /
very much regret that frequent speak
ing in the open air during the last week
and the very heavy atmosphere which
we have tins morning has somewhat
impaired my voice. | am sure you VIII
crown your hospitality aud kindness by
allowing me TO speak TO you briefly
sympathize with YOU in the distress
which YOU feel that the day. is so IN
proptOus for any street demonstra-
tion, but | have been told by one wise
in such matters tina, this rain is worth
s. 600. 600 to western Texas. That be-
ing the case il greatly modeptes the
regret.
81 rejoice that you have here SO great
commonwealth. The stipulati0ns
under which Texas came into the I'm
ion of the States aud which provided
that that great territory might he sub
divided into live great States, seems not
to attract much attention in Texas now.
Indeed, as ar as ! can Judge, no mau
would be able successfully TO appeal to
the SURFACES Of any hamlet IN Texas
upon the issue that the State should be
divided at all Cheers.
81 hope you will soon add. indeed
you are now largely adding, to the di-
versity OF agricultural pursuits a d.
versity to mechanical pursuits The
advantage which YOU have 10 trans
mute, the great production Of the field
into the manufactured product, is very
great. There certainly can be no
reason why very large part OF the
million bales Of cotton VIII ch you
produce shalld not be spun in Texas.
Cheers | hope your people will
more and more urn their thoughts 10
this matter, for just in proportion as a
community or State suitably divides
its energies among various lndusj rles
so doe il retain he wealth it produces
and increase its population. Applause.
My fellOw-cIti2ens, the prid, OF
America, that which should attract the
admiration aud has attracted the
Imagination Of many people upon the
face of the earth is our system of gov

Texas you are giving attention to edu
