1 Richard Coke Papers # Descriptive Summary: Creator: Richard Coke, McCelvey family Title: Richard Coke Papers Inclusive Dates: , undated Bulk Dates: , undated Abstract: The Richard Coke Papers consist of correspondence, legal, financial, literary, and scrapbook manuscripts, plus photographs about former Texas governor Richard Coke. Accession #: 0066 Extent: 3.5 linear feet (6 document boxes) Language: Collection is in English and Spanish. Repository: The Texas Collection, Baylor University, Waco, Texas. Biographical Note: Richard Coke, resident of Waco, Texas, and state governor, legislature, and lawyer, was one of the most influential political figures in Texas during the late 1800s. His papers held by The Texas Collection include letters, legal records, financial documents, literary productions, scrapbook materials, and photographs. This small but diverse collection reflects the many activities of Richard Coke on the local and state political stage. Coke was born in 1829 March 13 near Williamsburg, Virginia to John and Eliza Hankins Coke. He apparently received good primary education, since he entered William and Mary College in 1843, graduating in 1848 with a law degree. In 1850 he moved to Waco, Texas, perhaps looking for a place on the frontier that he could use his skills as a lawyer. His law business did very well, and he became known for his abilities in both civil and criminal law cases. Richard married Waco girl Mary Evans Horne in Though the couple had four children, none of them lived to adulthood. Several letters, receipts, and legal forms are in the collection from these early years of Coke s life. Richard Coke s political career began in 1859 when he was appointed by Texas governor Hardin R. Runnels to a commission that decided the Comanche Indians must be removed from Texas. Coke was a delegate to the Texas Secession Convention, voting for secession. During the American Civil War, he was captain of Company K, 15 th Texas Infantry, under Colonel Joseph Warren Speight. As part of the 15 th Texas, Coke fought in the Trans-Mississippi, including Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, and was wounded at the Battle of Bayou Bourbeau in 1863 November 3. With the war over, Coke was appointed judge of the Texas 19 th Judicial District by Reconstruction Governor A.J. Hamilton. In 1866 Richard Coke was elected as justice of the state supreme court, but was removed by General Philip H. Sheridan when the Radical Republican Congress divided the South into military-controlled districts in Coke continued his efforts to influence Texas political life, and was elected as the first post-war Democratic governor of Texas in 1873 by over forty thousand votes. His victory was bitterly contested by the state Republican Party, the state supreme court, and outgoing Governor Edmund J. Davis, but he took office in 1874 January with popular majority backing. The collection contains several documents written during the Civil War, as well as several certificates from right after the war.

2 Richard Coke Papers # As governor, Richard Coke pushed for undoing many of programs adopted during Republican rule of Texas. He cut spending by reducing funding for state asylums, state printing, and decentralizing the school system, but the savings were wiped out by increasing the military presence on the Texas-Mexico border and guarding the frontier from Comanche and Kiowa trying to regain their land and way of life. As part of his rollback of Republican programs, Coke and the Democratic-controlled Congress passed a new state constitution. Voters expressed their approval of his actions by reelecting Richard Coke as governor in 1876, but he resigned in 1877 upon his election as United States senator. There are almost no manuscripts directly from Coke s time as governor, though several letters and other documents date from his years in the United States senate. Coke s career in the United States senate lasted for seventeen years. During that time, he earned a reputation as an informed senator who generally voted in line with other Southern Democrats. He opposed federal aid to schools, tariffs to protect domestic manufacturing, suspending silver coinage, and providing federal army protection to elections threatened by intimidation. Coke supported the Bland-Allison Act of 1878 and the Interstate Commerce Act of He did not run for reelection in After retirement from political life, Richard Coke did some farming along the Brazos River. However, he enjoyed retirement for only three years before he died at his home in Waco in 1897 May 14. Luminaries such as the governor of Texas at the time were pallbearers during his funeral at Oakwood Cemetery, Waco. Richard Coke is remembered today for his election as the first post-civil War Democratic governor of Texas. Much of the collection was gathered by the McCelvey family, especially by Mary Elizabeth Honey Horne McCelvey, who was the niece of Richard Coke s wife Mary Evans Horne Coke. Mary Horne McCelvey apparently lived with Richard and Mary Coke during the last six years of Richard s life, and eventually inherited many of his historical manuscripts. Sources: Duncan, Merle Mears.
