Commissioner Baker1 handed tha Oa
setts reporter today the following
When the reporters called on me
last week for an Interview on the ac-
tion of the sound money Democrats at
Pallas un the Slt Instant X prom lied
them to prepare In full my reusons for
tho conclusions X had reached At that
time I found Myself In such an unfor-
tunate attitude that It seemed to mo
that I could hot do Justtco to myself
without reviewing at length the situa-
tion In pursuance of that promts X
gave the subject some consldcrablo at-
tention but after mora deliberate
thought I havo concluded to abandon
that line for the reason that so much
has already been eA that to add tu
It might do more harm than good
hence It Is that I shall simply stato my
own position
I hata been ft Democrat under any
and all circumstances of political ron
ditlon and have aligned myself with
my party both stain and national at
all times I have toted fur men and
measures when I waa not altogether
sat in Hod wKth cither became tho con-
ditions of the South -were of such a
nature and Its necessities so great that
I was constrained to brlleve thut no
relief could be alstalued for our people
nor could local self government bo se
cured through any other channel than
that of absolute and exclusive united
Kffort nn the nart of all natrlotlc neo-
pie of my section and tat There-
fore It Mni that X subordinated tny tin
dtWdual objections to tho will of the
majority of our parly cam tltuents
This I understand Is Democratic doc-
trine
When the state executive commit t
met here in Austin It occurred lo me
that of all tmes In the history of the
party this was an occasion above any
which the party had ever before en-
countered when the fairness and con
eervatlim on the part of tho commutes
should be exercised to the hlghcKt de
giee During the sitting of the com
mlttee 1 waa not present becauco my
official duties demanded my presence
at my otrirUI deik H it after office
houra 1 exerted myself as much as I
was able to bring about th kind ot
ronnervatlv action Imitated Btlng
however rewarded with a result
which to my mind was the most rad-
ical nnd unprecedented and -which
foreboded a rupture anaj dlslntegrar
Hon from the party of lage numbers
of our best Democrat even to the x
tent of the defeat of the party in tho
November election Seeing tlui condi-
tion and In advance or he meeting of
th sound money conference at lal
veston I made an earnest effort with
some of my free sit vet friends to bring
outrpubllo exptelon from certain In-
fluential gentlemen among that class
of Democrats mblVfh from their com-
manding positions In the party would
serve as a gusrtntee to the sound
monfry Democrats ot Halvaton that
notwtthitandlng the unfair form ot
Knltnt nrfirlh1 bv thf Ststd COtn
mlttee the ballots of the sound money
electors would be counica in ino
convention In my toal in this dlreoi
tlon through unintentional
drnre on my part I Incurred the dl
plcMure atid broke up th personal
confldpnert between rome free silver
friends flhlch has been moat painful
to me personally
Falling In my efforts In that direc-
tion I wrote a letter to a Jesdlng gen
Neman at the Galveston conftrenne In
wtich I lined the following language
I regret that public builness prevents
me from being with you I confidently
expect that the wfadom of your confer-
ence will evolve some plan by which
the party of Jefferson Monroe Jack-
son Cleveland and tfi constitution of
nut- ruth In which ulone local self-
goernmnt can eer be sermred to lha
people may be preserved Tha re
sult of that conference 1 Known of en
tnn I am candid enough to say lhat X
then felt under the conditions existing
at that lime that tt would have been
mi far ths Round money
Democrat who believe that the lusue
Im twitted1 hv the executive tommlttfe
waa of sufficient lmortanro to con-
tend for to at4ncp enter the field with
a full ticket and flshtforthe suprem
aey of their vlefs of ths question
of national finance within the patty
ranks and to b conebided at fh state
convention I Ixlleved that while th
aound money ticket would be defeated
In alt probability that nevertheless
they might secure the put form Which
under the uiftxe and customs of the
party giving to th governor a second
term wrulfl be far more valuable to
the peopl than the election of thfr
ticket but that thrunnlnr of a ticket

have been perfectly lesltlmste and In

17th Inst to a most prominent mem

after stating In my opinion all Idea of

gusyei Folio Ing tho Idea then sug-
gested by Mr Carlisle to his Kentucky

In favor of going Into the primaries

Then after going on to explain vhy
this course should be adopted instead
of the one to nominate n ticket I
further said Thla betnjr the situa-
tion as It now looks to me knowlmt
the great Injury which will result to
our state and party It tho Popullatte
party Is encouraged by a victory In
Texas I feel that patriotism demand
at our hands the hltrhest degree ot
conservatism end wisdom even If tt
does suffKt n com prom tne of the pros

ciple actuated the peerless

him to support th celebrated electoral
commission which lost our president
elect but saved ho country from h
bloody war anfl the destruction of our
constitution end withdrew from tho
oppressed southland the frdeial mill

I stale the foregolntf ftts because I
feel that they ere due ta mypelf and
because they servo to show that while

with which I am throughly Identified
nil that could he gotten for them In
the party 1 hive not been In Mvor of

claimed on principle that tin Issue U
too great for any patriotic Democrat

would cheerfully buvr and aecrpt It
the condition of the political elements
In Texas aiJ th south were In any
senne like those which exist In New

states There In nmny respects It
does not mnks any great difference In
the administration ot local affairs
whether the lepnbllcnn or DnucratlQ
parties are in power Thef liva no
threat or prospect ot defeat fcy a party
which Is oppoied to UtUs to lands In
Individuals and In favor of tho state

overthrowing all the cherished forme

the situation In Texas and t woulrj

An inexpressible blight on the

Texas from ishlrh they coul not re

the ordenl ot misrule nnd recon-
struction under th heel of which L
learned my first lesson In Democracy
havo made me too reat ft stickler for
the autonomy of my party and local

be true or not I cannot persuade my

editor of the Herald remarked to th
aasetto reporter today
expect to continue to oppom the
unlimited and Independent uolnsgs ot
wilver at 10 to 1 because I believe that
policy if adopted by this government
alone Would demoralise th L business of
the country and result ti pur sliver
monometallism I believe tho action ot
th Dallas conference Is Ill timed and
not calculated lo advance the causa
of sound money In Texas Dudley Is
the only man authorised tu call a stato
convention of the Democracy of this
state and delegates from tho regular
convention will I believe be seated at
Chicago if free silver delegates from
Texas to the national convention go
over to the tree1 ttiler party sound
many voters ran make their align-
ments state and national
l see no good that can be pocomp
llshcd by abandoning the regular or
gsnlxatlon at this time X da not with
to contribute to Populist supremacy
In Texas X do not regard Dudley an
a fair standard by which to mod sure
tbi brains nnd pstrlotlsmot the dom-
inant faction In Texas iKdltlcc and It
will take a great deal more than the
arbitrary and audacious macblustlons
ot demagogues of he Dudley calibre
to drlyo me away from my party
