Not Hun for Congress-.

Mexia, Tex, Jan. 2t.-tspecial) Hon,
J. W. Blake has Issued the following
address;
To the Democrats of the Seventh Con-
grossionnl District.
In Wow OF the fact that II seems to
be generally supposed that / VIII be
n candidate for the nomination for
congress, and having received many in
quiries and letters from my friends in
the district asking me to announce or
allow the use of my name hs a candid
ate, deem II my duty to now publicly
declare my Intentions and settle the
matter as far as ! am concerned.
While / fully appreciate the many
encouraging expressions and assur-
ances from friends throughout the dis
trict, which would seem TO indicate that
I could easily receive the nomination
and be elected, yet after mature con-
sidcration ] have decided that TO be-
come candidate at this time would
embarrass and interfere with my duties
ms chairman OF the bi-metaliic cxecu-
tive committee OF Texas and also
would subject me to the charge OF using
my position and the silver issue to
get office. l therefore announce that
win positively not be a candidate for
congress-.
I regard the success Of the silver
cause in Texas at this time ms para
mount to personal ambition. and Will
do nothing which might have n ten
dency to hinder or embarrnss my eff
forts for success In this move.
feel deeply interested In having
the Democracy OF Texas declare In its
next platform for bi-metalllsn IN un-
equiylil terms and send a delegation
TO the national convention pledged to
the support OF the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver at the ratio OF 10 to
!, and 7 shall give my best efforts to
the success OF this cause In the coming
campaign.
Il is hardly necessary for me to assus
my friends that feel deep interest In
having our district represented In the
next congress by n strong and positive
friend OF silver. and I therefore urge
that the friends OF bi-metaIlism shall
see that the Democratic nominee for
the Seventh and all other districts In
Texas. Ia none other than sound free
coinage advocate.
Ir our cause Is to ultimately succeed
we must put men in congress upon
whom we can rely 10 vote right. You
cannot afford to experiment with new
converts or men OF doubtful opinions
or compromising character or posi-
tlon on this question.
Place none on guard but true men
who can and will pronounce the "Shib-
hoieth" ~ our cause in no uncertain
accent. Very truly.
