Hon. G. B. Gerald was greeted by
a largo and enthusiastio audienoo
Saturday night and aftor being intro-
duced by Judge W H. Lessing spoko
substantially as follows:
"I havo an apology to make to this
audience for being lato arriving. I
was told this morning that tho
raeohanics would hold a meeting hero
and I agreed to givo way to them bo-
mg assured by some ot thoir friends
that it would not tako morO than thirty
or forty minutes for thorn to get
through. I was told a fow minutes
ago on tho streets that thoy bad ad-
journed in my favor; I hastened to
meet you and for this kindnoss 1 ox-
tend to them my most hearty thanks.
1 mado no preparation for a spcooh and
have only noted down Borne of tho
questions 1 proposo to discuss briefly
hero tonight. I am a candidate for
congress from tho Ninth oongrcsssonal
district as it now stands to fill the un-
expired term of Roger Q. Mills. The
reason I havo not announced before
that I would be a candidate to fill
Mills' unexpired term is that I did
not know there would be a vaoanoy
until the logislaturo on Mnroh 23
elected Mr. Mills to tho senato. My
opponents Messrs. Tyler and Pendle-
ton of Belton have taken timo by the
forelook and canvassed tho distnot
anticipating the rosult at Austin wbioh
promoted Mr. Mills. I did not know
whether there would bo an extra
session called and did not beliove
there would be any un-
til I saw the call. Having
determined to run for congress at tho
next election in the new district I
could not afford to stay out of tho raoo
for tho unexpired term beoauso it is
rcasonablo to supposo that tho man
who is cleoted now will bo eleoted in
the district in which most of tho old
Ninth is retained. I cannot toll at
this timo when the election will tako
placo but it must bo not moro than
thirty days lrom tho date of tho pro-
clamation of the governor calling for
an eleotion. Mr. Mills will probably
resign his soat today or Monday and
that resignation will reaoh Gov. Hogg
about tho last of next (this) wook and
tho governor may issue his proclama-
tion tho next day after he reooives it.
Then it will bo 30 days boforo the
eleotion will tako place.
Now I desire to stato that tho Cold
is open for any gentleman from Mc-
Lennan or any other oounty in tho
district to enter this raoo but I want
my friends to soo to it that if I am
endorsed by my own county nono but
Gerald men bo sent as delegates to
the nominating convention with in-
structions to vote for Gerald first last
and all tho timo. I mako this request
for tho reason that I havo been in-
formed that a quiot canvass is in
progress for tho purposo of looking
that convention and nominating a dark
horse. If I carry mv county I want
you to stand by mo to tho last. If I
am ronudiated at home I would not
go bofore the oonvention for I would
not havo an office under tho Bun for
which I was not endorsed by my own
peoplo." Hero the speaker paid his
reBpeots to men who would suffer dc-
foat repoatodly at homo and then aftor
being given an offioo by appointmont
thinks it an indignity heaped upon tho
appointing power and an insult to
himsolf fcr tho peoplo to demand his
retirement to givo place to the man of
their ohoioo.
"It is a woll-known fact that I am
opposed to Governor nogg'sre-eleo-tiou
and I understand that this is go-
ing to bo used against mo in this can-
vass. I do not think it is right that
the governorship should bo lugged
into this fight for my viows as to tho
fitness ot Governor Hogg to bo gov-
ernor has nothing to do with my fit-
ness for congress and it it is assumed
that no man has a right to ropresent
his peoplo in oongross who does not
endorse tho presont administration
then you assumo that Governor Hogg
has tho right to soleot your represen-
tatives and such a theory is contrary
to evory principle of repub
lican cfovornment. If we sub
Ecribo to such a theory wo
surrender everv nrivilene to tho will
I of ono man I hopo this issue will not

.be urged but if it is I will mako tho
best hght I oan for I will nover sur-
render my light to support whom I
pleaBo for governor or any other offico
and thero is not an ofHoo on this earth
that could bribo mot to shut my
mouth.
"Now my friends I am going to do
something if elected that no south-
ern oougiessman has over had tho
nprvotodj; denounco tbo infamous
pension frauds through whioh rail
lions of tho peoples money is given to
men who do not need a dollar of it
and nion who novorshoulderod a mus
kot in their lives. It has been tho
polioy of tho Domoorats to allow the
Republicans to pass these bills for
fear opposition would perpetuate tho
projudico existing in tho north against
toe south i will it eleoted odooso
with all tho power I have the py-
mont of pensions to millionaires. I
am in favor of ponsioning desorving
soldiers who are in need of aid and
would vote as quiok for a pension for
theso as any congressman who wore
the bluo but before I vote for a pon-
sion I must know that tho applioant
is an honorably discharged soldier
and in actual need of snob aid or tho
widow of such a soldier in actual
neea. rensions aro not mtonuou as a
reward for sorvico in tho dofonso of
one's country. They are intonded to
recompenso a good Boldior for tho loss
of an arm or leg or eyd or for
any injury sustained in her defense.
A man who would expect a reward for
fighting for his country is no patriot.
Patriotism asks for no compensation.
"Another thing I promiso you I will
try to do if I am elected! will not prom-
ise to do anything. I will only promiso
to try. Tho peoplo of this country havo
a right to elect tho president and vice-
president by popular vote. If tho
present bill botoro tho congress doos
not pass bofore this eleotion is over
and you send me to congress I will
put myself on record as ono who is
not afraid to trust the peoplo to elect
thoir senators too. The theory that
senators must bo olected by the legis-
latures of tho states originated with
tho framors of tho old articles of con-
federation between tho thirteen origi-
nal states and was based upon tho
idea of stato sovreignty. Tho old
Federalists tried to keep the idea of
state sovreignty out of tho constitu
tion. I heir idoa was to ostablish a
strong central government and tho
plan to clcot tho members ot tho unpor
houBo of congross by tho legislatures
of the states instoad of by the peoplo
was a compromise Tho Federalists
wero afraid to trust tho poople and
wanted to concentrate tho power of
government and romovo tho control of
governmental affairs as far from iho
peoplo as possible honco the com-
promise whioh placed the upper houso
of congross wbioh was to act as a
cheok on the lower or popular branch
in tho oontrol of the Btates and oach
senator rtprosonted what wo called
then the sovreignty of his Btato. That
has passed away now. Tho Bovreignty
of tho stato wont down in tho oivil war
and tho surrender at Appomattox
settled it for all timo to oomo. Jeffer-
son Davis when ho resigned his soat
in tho United States senate at tho be
ginning of hostilities brought tho
sovreignty of his state back and sur-
rendered it to the power which in-
trusted it to h'im. What senator
would now undortako to bring'baok
the sovreignty of his stato and give it
to tho legislature ? It is nonsense to
talk about it. I want the peoplo
given tho opportunity to oleot their
senators. They oan't do any worso
than tho legislatures havo dono and
may do better. I also want the peoplo
given an opportunity to elect by direct
voto the prtsidont and vice-president.
When thoy are you will novor again
hoar of a 7 by 8 commission.
"There is another thing I am going
to try to do but I havo very littlo
hopo of sucoobs Congress is com-
ftosod of too many members and I bo-
ieve the houso of representative?
ought to bo reduced to about half tho
presont number. Now I expect every
one of thoso fellows will kick because
thoy will think it will be taking
the bread out of thoir mouths
but I know that suoh a body of mon
as now assomblcs in the home is too
unwieldy to do its duty to the peoplo.
It can be reduood by increasing tho
basis of roproBontation.
"I also favor a chango in our immi-
gration laws with a view to prevont
other countries unloading upon us all
tho outlawB and rifraff of sooioty.
Tbero are thousands of immigrants
who land in this country who cannot
mako good citizens if thoy tried. Thoy
havo no conception of what it takes to
constituto a oitizen of a republio and
nover will. I want suoh people kopt
away and will ondoavor to accomplish
something in that direotion. l baiiovo
in welcoming immigration if it is of a
useful kind but we want no moro an-
arohists thioves murderors or paupors.
Again I want our naturalization laws
mado moro stringent and better on-
lorced. I want no man to assume th'o
responsibilities of oitiionship until he
has acquired soruo knowlodgo of our
customs and his obligations. Tho
indiscriminate- manufacture of citizens
by law whilo thoy are yot totally ig-
norant of the simplest forms of our
laws and have not tho remotest idea
of tho responsibilities that attaohes to
overy intelligent citizen of a republio
threatens this country today with a
danger whoso magnitudo is absolutely
alarming. Wo must gard woll our
ballot box for in it tho peoplo havo a
safo resort to purgo tho body politic
ot evory ill.
"I opposed tho aotion of the Texas
legislature on tho silver resolution bo-
oause I thought it was out of plaoo
there. If I go to congress however
I will vote liko Mills on silver and
Mjlla vote saved tho silver bill from
dofcat the other day. I lavor tho
froo ooinago ci silvor not that I bo-
liovo it would benefit tho country
muoh but beoauso I bolievo in biuio-
talism as sanctioned by Domocrutio
preccdont. Wo must havo an honest
dollar however just as good as gold.
mere is great mistake in tho theory
that tho free oomago of silver will
make monoy plentiful. It would not
inorcaso the per oapita circulation
moro than 25 cents. Tho follows
who would roocive the most benefit
aro tho silver mine owners who would
take thoir bullion to the mint havo it
coined and put it down in their pook-
ets. Of course somo of it would got
out into circulation but tho benefits
would bo imperceptible.
"Tho tariff robbery is tho ovil I
will give most attention believing liko
Mills that it is tho great question ol
tho hour. If you had silver dollars
showered upon you by the bushol
thoy would through tho iniquitous
tariff tax soon bo iu tho hands of a
fow of tho tariff bonefioiaries. 1
nevor could btliovo in tho dootrino
that whon I pay $12 for a coat 1 ought
to and but for the tariff robbe-
ry would got for .Jfa and that
the $4 extra oomea back to me in a
mysterious way and makes me pros-
perous. I had rather kce. tho $1 in
my pockot. I know I havo it thon
but when I pay it to tho morohant for
the eoat 1 nover could soo how I got
it baok. I nover could beliovo in pay-
ing out my monoy and depend on it
going up into Now Hampshire Massa-
chusetts and baok through Now York
and then oomo percolating down
through Arkansaw and Texas and got
baok to mo. I want to kocp it in my
pookot. I proposo to fight Uio pro-
tective theory. It is tho bano of this
oountry in its effeots and glaringly
undemocratio in prioiplo. 1 will not
expect to do so woll as Mills in tho
battlo against this king of all evils for
ho has had twonty yoars of oxperionoo
ahoad of me. but I will fight it on tho
samo lino and with all tho powor I
have."
Judgo Gorald thon said ho would
not return to this Bounty unless ho
had an opponont hero and would
instead put in his timo
in tho other countios composing the
district leaving his canvass horo with
his friends.
At tho conclusion of tho spocoh
Judgo Lessing offered tho following
which was adopted:
"Bo it roiolvcd by thiB mooting of
Demoorats of MoLennan oounty that
wo heartily ondorso tho Hon. Q. B.
