carried him to the speakers stand.
 Senator Bailey, while bitterly abusing those who opposed him, announced that he was going to continue as United States senator from Texas for at least three terms. He said in part:
 You have just concluded the most remarkable campaign ever witnessed in any state of the Amer ican Union and, be it to your hon. l or, you have concluded it in accord with the will of the sovereign peo- l pie.
 1.-The conspirators have been giv- 1 en wholesome lesson. Never again will they attempt within this generation. Never again will they wear the honors of Texas Democra- cy in their life. Such men would betray republic if Hessians were for hire

 '"The leader of the contest was man who has gambled with negroes, and if he attempts to deny it, I will prove it on him.
 One of them was convicted of embedding, and yet he is here draw ing his cloak about him, saying that he cannot keep the Democratic 1 commandment.
 s.These are hard words and in- tend them to be. I wish I had words, of hate with which to criticise them. l See what they have done! They have lied about me. Their master is Hearst, who has led this fight against Texas. The leader in this fight is the man who had the tele-, gram published, lying on the leg islature, claiming that it was cor rupted by wine, women and song Hearst has his emissaries and agents on the Texas legislature to- day. This Hearst campaign means 1 that they want to eliminate men like men and John Sharp Williams and place men like John Duncan.
 eff I live not one of these men shall ever hold office in Texas again, as l shall devote my time to see that they don't get in. This crowd voted today, as they did upon the first ballot. against me.

''They seek to destroy my useful ness. but, thank God, I am too far above them for them to hurt it. Not a sentence in the whole record reflects against my personal ;. or political integrity. And yet they still vote against me.
 Swears Vengeance. l "Out of the forty men who vot- ed against my exoneration not more than four will be back here next session. Not one-half of them will be in the Democratic ranks at that time. They will go back to the Populist party, where they belong. I will never rest until I see the ! election laws SO fixed that no man can have his name put on the tick ct as a candidate for the legisla- ture unless he records a solemn oath that he will respect the peo- 1 ple's instructions.
 ''This legislature ought not to ad journ until section 124 is so amend ed that no man shall hold the peo- ple's office unless they shall SUD- port the peoples nominee.
 "I had intended at the end of this senatorial term to retire, for at the end of this senatorial term I will have served the people of Texas twenty-two years. But now this war has made me change my pur- pose. I will need to make no can vass at the end of this term. These men who have fought me have made this unnecessary. They have already made my campaign for me. They have made their grave, and we will proceed to gently lay them
