SPEECH OF ANDREW J. BAKER
Of Tom Green County Delivered to

Washington, Nov. 9 —As a re-
sult of yesterday's elections, it is
the expectation ot high officials of
the administration that Spain will
struggle more determinedly against
compliance with American de-
mands tor the cession of the Phil-
ippines. The administration does
not admit that the party has been
defeated, but it fears—as shown bv
the discussion at the cabinet meet-
ing today—that Europe will regard
the elections as indicating that
many Americans are opposed to
the extension of American territo-
ry and France, Russia and Ger-
many will feel encouraged to make
representation of some character to
this government.
The authorities do not forget
that the senate is republican and it
is hopei it will furnish sufficient
votes to ratify the treaty ot
The Denver Farmer says:
"Three hundred million of dollars
are now locked up in the treasury.
There are $346,000,000 of green-
backs in existence. Thus a sum
amounting to seven-eights of the
standard paper money of the coun-
try is withdrawn from the uses of
the people it the time of year when
money is most pressingly needed
for actiye circulation. With the
national treasury full to repletion
the people cannot get money enough
for the transaction of ordinary
business."—Ex.
which will be sent to that body as
soon a^ possible after it convenes.
It was pointed out that for three
months at least the house will con-
tinue under republican domination
and during that period every effort
will be made to conclude all nego-
tiations growing out of the war in
order that it may have a clean bill
when adjournment occurs.
The Texas exhibit at Omaha was
awarded the gold medal, and the
first prize for the best entire State
exhibit was also given to Texas.
Under the circumstances Texas
has done well. Without a public
fund or legislative appropriation,
Southern and Southwestern Texas,
unaided, has redeemed the honor
of the State, and saved it from
ignominy and disgrace.—Luling
Signal
The Supreme court of the
United States has decided that
agreements entered into between
railwa\sto su-tain rates, are illegal
and void. Now if the court will
decide that agreements between
sreculators to depress prices of
agricultural products, are illegal
and void, it will be getting in its
work where it will do some good.
—Luling Signal.
Ex-Governor Hogg has volun-
teered his professional services to
assist the State in the injunction
suit which the railroad bond-hold
ers have against the State and the
railroad commission. The big ex-
governor has been so roundly
abused and maligned about that
peace $10,000 tee, that he, doubtless,
wishes to show that he is no hog.

Mother's

history of the constitution.
I propose to first review the his-
tory of that period within which
the convention adopted, and the
States ratified the Constitution of
the United States.
In doing which, I propose to
show, that what was done bv the
South in i860 and 1861, was in
full keeping with the teachings of
the fathers, and was recognized by
them as not only absolutely right
and proper, but was in lull pursu-
ance ot the doctrines laid down and
insisted upon by the statesmen of
that day and since, and that se-
cession, whatever mav be said of
its impropriety, was absolutely
right and patriotic in the highest
degree, sanctioned by the Consti-
tution and the conventional histo-
ry, contemporaneously made by all
the States, when that Constitution
was being ratified by the States,
If the conventions of the several
States at the time of ratifying the
Constitution, and the statesmen of
that dav, together with the com-
mon understanding of everybody,
at the time, understood and acted
upon the proposition, that the
States in their sovereign capacity,
were ratifying the Constitution,
that the States were not surrender-
ing their statehood, but were com-
petent contractors, and as such
were only surrendering to the gov-
ernment of the United States cer-
tain express powers in the com-
pact of Union which were necessa
ry in order to form a more perfect
Union, for the common defense,
and for the general welfare, ceding
to the government only such pow-
ers as were expressly delegated,
then were they bound to remain in
that Union wnen the government
had unwarrantedly assumed cow-
ers not so delegated? To answer
this settles the whole question.
WHAT IS SOVEREIGNTY?
Noah Webster defines it to be
the "possession ot the highestpow-
er, or, of uncontrollable power,"
and I may add, that it is the seat
and spring of power, the very soul
and strength of life to a body
politic,—that force which finds in
itself the inherent right to take lite
and property for the public good.
The self-defense of the State, by
means of which the right to make
laws for the government of the
people of the State, to say what
the citizen shall and shall not do,
and which gives motion to its gov-
ernment. So'that when you say
that the State delegates any of its
powers, we do not mean that it
actually and forever deprives itself
of any influence over the power
delegated, but that it has trans-
ferred for certain specific purposes
certain authority to the agent to do
and perform certain acts, within
the scope of his authority, for the
benefit of the State and her sister
Confederate States, to be used and
exercised within the limits ex-
pressed in the deed or agreement
transferring the power—never to
be used to injure the grantor nor
the subversion of its reserved pow-
er. Indeed, this idea was so well
discussed, conceded", at the time ot
ratification of the Federal Consti-
tution, that it actually formed the
basis of the reasons which induced
many, if not all the States, to rati-
fy the Constitution at all.

and I have no doubt he did, but the
compiler of the book gives credit
to all those published over the

Mr. Hamilton. It will make no
difference, however, for my pur-
pose, because they agreed fully on
everything stated in them.
In number twenty-one, while
discussing the utility of the Union
and its sweep over the extensive-
ness of the domain, said on page
85: "Were it proposed by the
hamilton.
thing short of it would do in Amer-
ica." It would seem, therefore,
that the witness is as good a one as
I can introduce as opposed to what
we call a State's rights government
as could be found.
In justice to Mr. Hamilton, how-
ever, let me call attention to the
fact that the speech, to which I
have referred, was made before the
convention had decided what sort
of government the United States
should adopt, and it was honest
and patriotic in him to give the
convention an expression of his
views upon this the climaxical
question before the convention, it
was an advisory body in part, and
all plans were discussed freely, and
with perhaps more conservatism
than has been done in any conven-
tion which has ever assembled for
I
political purposes since the dawn
ot civilization. We had a govern-
ment already. We had achieved
our independence, and these gentle-
men were selected by their respect-
ive States on account of their great
learning and patriotism. This was
a time of peace, and there were 110
personal ambitions to serve above
the good of the country. Their
proceedings were characterized
with conservatism and with conces-
plan of the convention, to abolish
the governments of the particular
States, its adversaries would have
some ground for their objection;
though it would not be difficult to
show, that if they were abolished,
the general government would be
compelled by the principle of self-
preservation, to reinstate them in
their proper relation."
Again in number 31, on page
196, discussing the powers of the
government as to revenue and the
militia, he said: "The State gov
ernments, by their original consti-
tution are invested with complete
sovereignty."
In his thirty-ninth number on
pages 256 and 7, while discussing
the conformity of the plan to re-
publican principles, he said: "In
all the States ratifying the Consti-
tution, and not by a majority of
the people, merely composing the
State or nation. So that the act of
ratification was not to be the result
of a vote of the people of the States,
nor of the nation, in their individ-
ual capacities, but the act of the
State governments.
In the forty-third number, page
202, while discussing the powers
proposed to be invested in the gov-
ernment, he said: "A compact
between independent sovereigns,
founded on acts of legislative au-
thority, can pretend to no higher
validity than a league or a treaty
between the parties. It is an es-
tablished doctrine on the subject of
treaties, that all the articles are
mutually conditions upon each,
other; that a breach of one artir^,
is a breach of the whole treaty,
that a breach committed by
of the parties, absolves the
and authorizes them, if th^se>

of our victory here, but the case of

peculiar grounds that it can hardly

The fact is an augury of better
times for the Republic, demonstrat-
ing to the world that so far only
can jobbing politicians and shame-
less favorites go in the misgovern-
ment of the Nation.
It was a tremendous task to de
feat a party in power just at the
close of a successful and in many
respects glorious war. The appeal
to the masses "to stand by the
government" was such as would
easily mislead many thoughtless
but well meaning people, while
others were deterred from rebuking
incompetency and punishing
neglect of duty, through the fear
that republican defeat might be
misconstrued abroad.
But the people were aroused and
a maiority did not hesitate to re-
cord their displeasure through the
medium of the ballot. The re-
invigorated and reorganized democ-
racy was thrice armed by having
its quarrel just and the victory was
a grand and memorable one.
Not the least encouraging and
gratifying feature about this
splendid fight made by the democ-
racy is the evidence it furnishes of
the vitality of the democratic party
and its tho ough fighting trim.
That the results this year will have
decided effect upon the campaign
of 1900 by sending the democracy
into the fight with renewed con-
fidence and prestige can hardly be
disputed.

wrongly, Galveston has the repu-

almost a yampire commercially
and politically. Galveston is too
rich, too arrogant and too Fufii to~
suit the average Texan. Galves-
ton has been the money lender of
the State and has not been respon-
sive in times of depression, but
has garnered in the profits or has
foreclosed upon the securities re-
gardless ot the times. The immense
amount of land owned by local
concerns represents, to a large de-
gree, money transactions between
Galvestonians and people up the
State in which the people up the
