Senator Charles A. culbersom of Texas.

"lead-pipe cinch' on the election. but they
never were more greatly fooled. Mr.. Bailey
entered the race with all the vim and de-
termination that characterize the Southern
chevalier. and he soon made his opponent
understand that he was up against the real
thing" Mr.. Chiffon is an able and high
toned. honorable gentleman. but with all
Mr.. Bailey's shortcomings as mixer with
men, he can discount Mr.. Chiffon.
Another thing that assisted Mr.. Bailey
materially in his race for the Senate was
his great speech In the winter Of 1900 on
the gold standard and national banking bill.
With that speech he compelled some OF MS
hitherto strongest and ablest critics to re-
cant and accord him unmeasured praise
One man, Arthur McEwen of the Philadei-
phia North American, and formerly with
New York paper. which had instructed MIN
to abuse and belittle 01r. Bailey. sat by
my side in the press gallery and listened in
astonishment to that speech. A speech In
which every QueStiOner was paralyzed by
the facts OF history: in which Mr.. Bailey
used both the keen rapier and the bludgeon
| filled with spikes; in which he never ap-
peared to better advantage as the perfect
master Of his subject. At its close Mr.. Nc
Even said to me that he was sorry he had
been compelled by narrow-minded EN-
ployer to write Mr.. Bailey down as
'whiffit." He made good'' the next morn
ing In a column story anent the speech, that
was replete with honest praise OF Mr..
Bafley's ability. and which. when scattered
, through Texas, assisted materially in the
| rout of the Chiffon forces
| No matter what may be said Of Mr..
| Bailey, the people Of Texas believe in him
and have promoted him. That should act a.
an estoppel to all adverse criticism. He u
as honest az Paul. and doesn't know how
to be otherwise. He is an uncompremisinG
| fighter from the headwaters of Bitter Creek.
and often may antagonize men to the detri-
ment Of some material interest Of his State.
| but It Is dollars to doughnuts that he will
/ be right from the standpoint of principle.
and he would rather be right than gather
l every appropriation asked for by his State.
! He is the youngest In years. and yet tho
4 oldest fashioned Democrat In Congress. He
believes in the stricfest construction Of the
Constitution, States rights and the utmost
| economy in the administration OF the Gov
ernment.
He is intense in his likes and dislikes. He
is a hard student and has memory which
resembles a tar bucket. in that everything
/ that gets into 1t sticks. That fact makes
/ him a holy terror in debate.
He is courtly gentleman. a generous
manly man. II his health and life are spared
unto him he will do things that will make
his State and nation proud Of him.
As stated in the beginning Of this art1-
Gle. the Lone Star State is peculiarly happy
and fortunate in her two United States SEN

year or two before. He entered the cam
paien of sc and stumped the district for
his partys candidates. In the meantime he
made many addresses before all kinds of
assemblies. They were all brilliant. and the
young man won his spurs as an orator.
In the Congressional Convention OF 1883 he
was practically rendered the nomination
from his district for Congress. but he re-
fused 1t. In 1880 he accepted, and at the
age of 26 was elected the first time to the
American House Of Representatives. He
went there full panoplied and armed cap-a-
pie to contest in the arena Of debate with the
Oldest and the best. As is always the case.
there We're many to sneer and jeer at the
presumption of young man who attempted
TO speak In debate with older men who had
eerved in Congress for years before he had
quit running barefoot over the red hills of
Mississippi.
His ability. however. won for him place
In the hearts Of the really big men in Con-
gress. among them his political opponent.
Tom Reed. one Of the biggest men intellec-
tually who ever served in Congress, and he
soon found his way to the top.
His Democratic colleagues soon learned
to appreciate him and his Republican op-
ponents to fear him. All the ribaldry OF the
press Of the East anent his re-
fusal to wear his person in paren-
theses with nigger-sinSer swallow
tailed coat when he attended the so-called
swell functions Of the Capital City rolled
off him like water on ducks back.
The only trouble with Mr.. Bailey then
ard now is his absolute inability to COM
| promise anything with anybody. He Is the
most uncompromisng man who ever en-
| tered Congress. II he could occasionally
compromise he would not be less honest
| and would obtain more for his State and
| his people. Notwithstanding all the pecca-
dilloes that hedged him about, from The

who believed they should have been the

Yesterday it tried to make play on

would not have been far wrong. In all

as matter of mere fact, The Republic
has never said that they are bonds-that

they are equivalent to bonds. and says

George Washlngton's false teeth,
