SPECIAL to the Gazette.


WASHINGTON, March 22.-Gen. Tracey Of
New York read the dispatch on the floor of
the house to-day announcing Col Mills
election TO the senate. Abner Taylor u
Chicago, who was making an anti-silver
speech ut the time, suspended his remarks
in order that che dispatch might be read.
Tracey is gold bug of the most pro-
nounced type, and eXerted himself strenu-
ously to have MIR. Mills elected speaker.
When he had finished reading there was
loud applause, a good portion Of which
came from Republicans and anti-snver
Democrats.
There is no use Disgusting the fact that
the friends of the Bland bill are inclined to
regard the election of Mr.. Mills as a lick
at that measure. The friends of Mr.
Cleveland, who are not very numerous
here, are exulting over Mills promotion,
regarding it as evidence of the fact that
the people of Texas are more in favor Of
tariff reform than silver legislation. But
for all that the Bland bill is sure of going
through the house and almost certain Of
passing the senate. Tracey and his friends
have announcedl that they will fillibuster
against the bill as soon as the debate over
it, which is now in progress, ends. They
will not be able, however, to delay its
passage.

Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRD, TEX, March 22.-In county
convention Parker county Democrats de-
clare:
Resolved, that the Democratic party has
ever been of the people and for the people,
and we, the Democracy of Parker county,
in convention assembled declare that the
great ends in view by the great body of the
people of these United States in the present
crisis of their affairs are few and simple,
but at the samestime are far reaching, and
as powerful as the mighty principles which
uphold life, liberty and the pursuits of hap
piness, and may be stated in brief space as
follows:
L Tariff reform.
2. Gold, silver and paper currency at par
with each other.
8. Free elections; no force bill.
t. Rigid economy.
5. Whereas, the Democratic party of the
United States, has since the time of
Thomas Jefferson, advocated both gold and
silver as money to be maintained and coined
upon terms of equality, and whereas, the Re-
publican party did, in 1873, against the will
of the people, demonetiZe silver, thereby
converting it into a commodity to be
weighed and sold like old iron at the junk
shop, and contracting the volume of the
peoples mon,', thereby increasing the
value of the money held by capitalists, and
lowering the price of the peoples products
and LABOR, and whereas, there is now pend
ing in congress bill for the free coinage of
silver upon equality with gold; therefore,
be it resolved, that we favor its passage
and request our representatives and sena-
tors in congress to vote and work for its
success.
6. Delegates instructed to support these
principles in state convention.
Z. Favor Western man for president.
8. Indorse Mills and Hogg.
9. We further recommend the following
resolutions to the convention:
Whereas, the reorganization of the higher
Judiciary of the state contemplates three
branches of the intermediate court of APP
peals at points of easy access to the people;
and
Whereas, more than one-half of North
ern Texas lies west of the line drawn
through Fort Worth; and
Whereas, the rapid settlement and devel-
opment of that vast and fertile region now
going forward demands as matter of
equity and justice in view of present and
future conditions of population, trade and
commerce that one branch of said court
should be located at the most westerly
point now acceptable. Therefore, be it
Resolved, that we favor the location of
said court first at Weatherford, but if this
cannot be done, then in view of the direct
railroad facilities OF Fort Worth, we
heartily indorse its claims for same, and
respectfully request our representative and
senator to labor in her interest.

the defense of right; consecrated to his
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-
ashcally applauded until Mr.. Crane from
Johnson arose and seconded the nomina-
ton.
This placed the name of R. Q. Mills in
nomination. Other nominations were called
for by the chair.
Mr. Kearby arose and 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 for 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 I announce
that he bears no Ill will to those who have
seen it their duty to oppose him. 1 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.
The roll call was then called and showed
a vote of twenty-nine for Mills, and one
senator. Mr.. Clark, for Joseph D. Sayers,
and one senator, Mr.. ,O'Neal, for G. w.
Jones.
The result was greeted with loud cheers
and applause. The senate then adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow, ard the large
audience moved to the house to hear the
speeches still being delivered there.
