ed him Bold and undaunted he has
waged the battle among the
cotton field OF the South,
the wheat fields of the North, among
the towering chimneys of the manu-
featuring East and under the shadoW

known more than that of any other
man as the leader in the crusade Tor

Mr.. Mills must be elected today by
the Democracy Of Texas, and not hy
any faction, whatever may have been
the unfortunate division of the party
in our state during the past year; to-
day both factions must ground their
arms and join hands i'll honOring this
man, for in hOnoling him we honor
Texas. If Mr.. Mills, who stands at
his post of duty in the city of Wash
ingfon, could be with us in spirit, it
would be to whisper into the ear OF
each Democrat here an earnest plead
ing for peace. If his voice could be
heard, it would pray for he restors-

that once marked our existence as n
party. We must not, we cannot be
enemies; we must be friends. Weare
bound together by the strongest ties,
, too strong for the tumult of passion to
dissolve. We have rejoiced together
over victories won; we have sorrOwed
, together over defeats incurred. We
