NJ M. Crane was born in Grafton, W.
Va, in 1858, and soon thereafter was
removed with his parents TO near Paris,
Tenn. He came to Texas with friends
of his fathers family in 1861, and settled
near Eagan in Johnson county, where the
next few years Of his life were spent alter
nately in school and in farm work. Fitting
himself therefor, in the intervals between
hard labor, he taught school successfully in
several parts of his adopted county, in the
meantime studying law at nights and dur
ing his vacation. He was admitted to the
bar in Cleburne in December, 1877, and i'm
mediately gave promise of the remarkable
career as a lawyer and man of affairs which
is now well known. In 1873 he was elected
county attorney of johnson county, and
was reelected in 1850. In August, 1882 he
resigned this Office and entered upon the
general practice of the law. In 1884 he
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-03-24

was elected TO the Nineteenth legislature,
receiving a large majority over two op-
ponents. He was unanimously rendered
the Democratic nomination for the same
position in 1883, but he declined it. In 1890
he was unanimously nominated as senator
for the district composed of Hill, Ellis and
johnson counties, and was elected over an
independent candidate by large majority.
His course and career in the senate is a
matter Of pride to his friends, and is well
known. Mr. Crane is in all respects a self
made man. In discussion he is fair, his
opposition always open and his support of
any man or measure hearty. He has never
met defeat before the people of his county,
who knew him best and most trust him.
Mr.. Crane is married, and while he has
held Office during quite period Of his life,
his chief solace is in and with his family,
his practice, his books and his friends.

FIGHTING SILVER.

The Evening Mail, pro-Mills paper,
rebukes the house of representatives
at Austin for the passage of a free
silver resolution, and tells the legisla-
tors in terse language why "We Don't
Want Free Coinage" After a repeti-
ton of the stereotyped arguments for
the gold standard, it continues:
'''Te can't see why Texas wants to howl
for the free coinage bill anyhow. Anybody
knows it's going to initiate the value Of
silver. But what benefit is that to Us who
haven't any silver to infiatel Up in Colo
ra6o where yeu can't walk hundred yards
without stepping in a silver mine and
where the principal industries are in some
way connected with silver mines there is
some sense in her citizens howlIng them
selves hoarse in clarifying this pernicious
bin They win temporarily receive bene-
fits. But those who are not governed by
fare at heart viii oppose the free coinage
OF silver because it means certain financial
embarrassment 10 our country without q
single benefit.a
From series of short interviews on
the subject of thesenatorship published
in last Wednesdays GAZETTE, we
quote this utterance by Capt NJ. B.
Lloyd, president OF the First national
hank OF this city:
Il would like 10 see Mr.. Mills in the
United States senate like Mr.. Mills
politics. am an anti-free coinage man"
Yet some people have been silly
enough to blame THE GAZETTE for the
simple statement OF fact that Mr.. Mills
is opposed to free silver, to al practi-
cal intent as much opposed to it as any
congressman from Massachusetts,.

THE GAZETTE is placing the name of r
NJ. Wynne before the people of the state
for governor. Col. Wynne would make
the state wise and efficient governor, and
one who could be counted on to administer
the laws in the interest of the people, in
stead Of few of his friends as has been
the case with Hogg. 1t is 10 be hoped in

years go by. His brilliant and magnificent
assault upon the electoral commission bill
of 1877 is a matter of history and familiar
to all. He took d conspicuous part in the
legislation which checked the further de-
struction of legal tender notes, aud which
preserved over 5000 900, 600 OF that currency
as a part Of our circulating medium. He
voted for and advocated the reconciliation
of silver in 1873, and has always voted for
free and unlimited coinage of silver, and, if
able to leave his sick room and occupy his
seat in congress, he is voting for it while l
am now speaking. In all the great ques-
tons that have arisen in his state or IN
national politics he has fought openly and
fairly for the rights of his people as guar
anteed by the constitution, and whether
upon the hastings or upon the floor Of con-
sress his prowess has never failed to in
spire the confidence Of his party, and has
oftimes turned defeat into victory.
What issue divides him and the Democ-
racy of Texas? None. What issue divides
him and the Democracy of the Uniona
None. What Democrat in Texas or in the
Union has said that any question should be
placed above the TARIFF Not one. All agree
that tariff reform is the paramount issue,
and that Roger Q. Mills is its greatest
champion.
An incorporating Democrat; pure
patriot and a great statesman, fearless in
people and to the glory of his country. the
great swelling heart of the people of Texas
has called him up higher, and they have
already nominated him to you for United
States senator from Texas.
Upon its close the speech was enthusi-
astically applsuded until Mr.. Crane from
Johnson arose and seconded the nomina-
ton.
This placed the name of r. @. Mills in
nomination Other nominations were called
for by the chair.
Mr.. Kearby arose ar said: 81 have
known with great pride and pleasure from
earliest manhood the
HON. HORACE chiffon.
Those who best know him love him best.
AS he has been candidate before this
body and the people fer continuance in the
seat he has of late so honorably occupied,
some explanation OF his withdrawal is in
order He bows TO the undoubted will Of
the majority of this body, and 1 announce
that he bears no i'll will to those who have
seen it their duty to oppose him. I hereby
withdraw his name from the contest, and
am confident that in the future, as in the
past Texas will find him as she finds him
now, an honest, patriotic, obedient son.

a vote of twenty-nine for Mills, and one
