Former Senator Chilton was one of the last survivors of the valiant band of political chieftains who wrested control of their state from carpetbagger rule and the running mate of Gov. James Stephen Hogg, being one of the first advocates of setting up a commission to handle railroad rates and other matters thereto related.

Coke, and served in that body until 1901, when he retired from public office. He was succeeded by Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey. His tenure of office in the Senate covered the latter part of Harrison's administration, all of Cleveland's second term and nearly all of Mc-Klnley's occupancy of the White House.
