wax from Western Mississippi,
Crain and 1 were always good
friend* personally, but be used to
give me a dig politically when he
could. 1 never forgot whet be did a*
a District Attorney and 1 believe if
be hadn't made such a clean up
amongst the lawless that 1 and
many others wouldn't be here today.
I bad a chance once to do him a
good turn and he appreciated it. It
was ax follows: O'Brien Moore, who
wielded a vitriolic pen and who ml-
wayg when we met used to give me
the glad hand guve me a roast in
the Galveston news in 1884, that I
didn’t forget for him, and afterwards
at # time when Crain was going be-
fore the District for re-election. Mr.
Collins, Capt. E. N. Gray, and other
Democrat* In Duval County were
sore because Cruln had chased O’Brien
Mo®re through the Pres* Gallery in
Congress. At that time ln Duval when
tha Democrats held conventions soma
of tbe Republicans would attend as
spectator* and give tbe b*m» point-
er# on rules of order, etc. Captain
Gray at tbe time wasn't on good
term* wltb Mr. Collins, and one day
he came in the office and told me
be had always been a friend ef
Crain's but didn't approve or Owin'*
course In attacking a newspaper man.
(Gray bad worked on tbe Galveston
Civllan In hi* early days.) 1 told him
I bad understood from Mr. Collin*
that a resolution would he Introduc-
ed In the ••onventlon to that effe*»t.
*and that Mr. Collin* had it written
out, which was true. 1 told him also
that he should remember that Crain
bad sent four men wbo had depr-dat-
fij on bis ranch, one of whom had
attempted hie life, to the pen and
that he should be one of the last men
to raise bis voice against Crain.
••Humph.” says Gray, "Colliea doesn't
control thin county and 1 will see to
It that no resolution of that kind
Will go through." Doctor Wright as-
sisted mo in keeping the ball rolling
and on the night of the .-onventlon
Mr. Meek and I attended tbe conven-
tion as speetators, and Joe Rhuw, a
strong supporter of Cruln. was select-
ed as chairman. Mr. Collins had
Mr. Frank Gravis helping him and a
majority of tbe Americans present
sere loaded for Crain, but Collins
didn't know It. Nearly all of the
Antl-Crulnlxt* were Metlcans. not
familiar with English, and be had a
motion carried that all motions
should be passed on by a rising vote,
so whenever a motion was put, if
Mr. Collin* arose all the Mexicans
would rise also. Ho T pot a man to
call out Mr. Gravis and Collins on
some triunp*-d-up matter and Gray,
while they were absent, slipped in a
resolution eulogizing Crain »nd Ins-,
tructlng the delegation from Duval |
To vote for him. first, luV und ul»
time, which was put by ‘thaw nod
carried with a whoop. Mr. Collin*
cam* In quite excited and a :kcd the
chair for a reconsideration of the
vote. Shaw wasn't up on the print
•nd it would have looked too raw
for me to have spoken to him, so I
wrote on a piece of paper, telling
Shaw that as Collin* hadn't voted in
the affirmative, hi* motion was out
of order. Hhuw asked Mr. Collins if
bi- had voted on the motion and he
replied no. be was absent from the
room; so Hhaw replied, "you are out
