GRAIN TALKS.
GalvestOn's Congressman Gives his
Views on the Issues of the Day

| GalvestOn's Congressman Gives his
Views on the Issues of the Day.
The Hon. W. II. Grain addressed a
meeting on the Main plaza and had a
fair audience, but he no doubt realized
the fact that he was 40 match for the
other circus that played across the
creek.
Having been introduced by the chair
man, the Hon. A. W. Huston, Mr.. Grain
delivered good address. He began by
complimenting San Antonio on its con-
nectiOn with Corpus Christi, and con-
graduated 1t upon the possession of
another source of wealth in the new
road. Then he went into democracy
and endeavored to show what a boon it
was to the people. Some Of those pres
ent believed it. Then he claimed TO be
competent to discuss the labor question
because he had worked with his hands,
and was on the recent congressional
labor committee His experience
had given him an insight into the mat
ter. Labor organization, lie said, were
claiming what they were really opposed
to, and what was an evil. viz class leg
islation. He took the standpoint that
labor and capital were both inter-de-
pendent and declared that the only i'm
pediment was the demagogue. He was
opposed to compulsory arbitration as
unjust, and contrary to the spirit of the
republic. Labor and capital he thought
must be brought into closer and more
harmonious communication, and come
to friendly understanding that shall Sc
cure due respect to their rights. lie
congratulated the cOlored men on their
fidelity and was proud Of the noble all
vance they were making, slowly, but
surely. He condemned the Blair Bill rs
unconstitutional, impractical, unnece3-
sary and centraliZing, but he be-
lieved in the Morrison surplus
measure. AS regards the tariff he
believed that all necsssaries should
be free and that luxuries should be put
on the tax list. He claimed that wool
was better without the tariff and admit
ted that he was regular free trader.
He claimed that protection did not in
crease manufactures; add to the work
mans wages, in other words, that ii did
moi protect. AS an instance of this, he
said, wool was worth more now than it
was in the past, ana claimed that the
tariff of 1867 was a regular sheep killer.
He was an anti-silver man, because he
believed the dollar was fraudulent one.
In the course of his remarks he paid his
respects to the peoples ticket and tore it
to ribbons.
During his speech Mr.. Grain was fire.
quently applauded and was interrupted
by opponents. He closed his remarks
amid loud and enthusia' tic cheers.
At the close of Mr.. Grains address Ed.
Halton delivered a pointed address on
the election and gave some tangible rea-
sons why the people should support the
straight democratic ticket.

Blood and Money,

The blood of man has much to do in shaping
his actions during his pilgrimage through this
troublesome world, regardless of the amount
of present or expectant money in pocket or
stored away in bank. IL is a conceded fact
that we appear as our blood makes us, and
the purer the blood, the happier, healthier,
prettier and wiser we are; hence the oft re
peated tnterrogatory, how is your blood p

hearts and plOughlng through our physical
frames, our morals become better, our consti-
tuition stronger, our intellectual faculties
more acute and grander, and men, women
and children happier, healthier and more
lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparal.
leled curative powers, and the unmistakable
proof from those of unimpeachRble character
and integrity, point with an unerring finger
TO Il. Il. B.-Botahic Blood Balm-as far the
best, the cheapest the quickest and the
grandest and most powerful blood remedy
ever before known to mortal man, in the re-
lief and positiue cure of Scrofula, Rheuma-

wonderful showing in its magical powers in
curing and entirely Graduating the above
complaints, and gigantic sales in the face of
monopolists.
Letters from all points where introduced are
pouring in upon us, speaking in its loudest
praise. Some say they receive more benefit
from one bottle of B. b. b. than they have
from twenty, thirty and fifty and even one
hundred bottles of a boosted decoction of
inert and non-medicinal roots and branches of
common forest trees. We hold the proof in
black and white, and we also hold the fort.

Well Filled Up.

Messrs. Morrison & Fourmy, who are
preparing the new city directory, have
made their rounds of the city and find
there are only 2l9 houses vacant. This
number is not half Of the vacant houses
found at the last canvass, and it includes
houses that are not habitable. And it
must not be forgotten that since that
time many new houses have been erect
ed and are now occupied. These facts
tend to show that old San Antonio IL
pretty well filled up at the present.

At the voting place on the corner of
Alamo and Vilita streets, things
were very quiet. No candidates
were around and the strikers stood
around looking idly on. Out OF an esti-

pOlled, and voters were then coming in
very slowly. The same air of uncer-
tainty as to the result WAS prevalent at
this voting precinct.

THE MAIZE STATE PRESS,
BLAINE AT CAMDEN.
He Discourses Sound Doctrine to a
Large and Enthusiastic Audience,

CAMDEN, Sept. 11.-Messrs. Blaine and
largest and most enthusiastic audience
ever gathered in Megunticook Hall,
Camden, hundreds being unable to gain ad-
mission. Mr.. Blaine made one of his most
powerful and telling speeches, demonstrating
with the clearest logic that the people should
vote for the Republican party. which, on the
important questions of the tariff, the fisher
les, shipping and temperance had done in
the past, and is now doing so much to pro-
mote the industries, prosperity and happi-
ness of the State and Nation. All through
his speech and at the close he was warmly
applauded, some eloquent passages stirring
the widest enthusiasm.
Mr. Gibson of Ohio, in his inimitable way
showed up the bad record Of the Democratic
party in manner to make every Democrat
blush at its absurdities.
The peroration was an eloquent appeal to
the young men to ally themselves with the
Republican party, great in its achievements
in saving the country from the destructive
hands of the Democrats, great in financial
policy, in Its promotion of the prosperity of
the laboring classes and its stimulating of
manufactures by the protective tariff, and al
so in its present and future work
Mr Blaine thinks the Republican outlook
is good. He estimates Bodwell's plurality
at 10000; the Third Party vote slightly
larger than last election, and predicts the
election of our full delegation in Congress
and Legislature by an overwhelming Repub-
lican victory.

Captain Dawson, of the News and Courier,
today received letter from Charles k. VIII
liams, assistant general manager of the AS
s0ciated Press, in which he says: On the Sth
inst. Mr. Richard Smith of Cincinnati tele-
graphed me to the following effect;
81 understand that reporters of the News
and Courier stood at their posts and FUR
nished Associated Press with full and ad-
mirable details, the first sent out. The AS
sociated Press owes these men more than
debt OF gratitude.ss Mr.. Smith suggested that
show his dispatch to Mr.. Stone, president
said further that the Western Associated
Press would be glad to contribute half OF
any amount the New York Associated Press
might suggest This dispatch was shown to
Mr.. Stone. He at once approved OF the
idea and left the details entirely to my dis
cretion. After further consultation with
Mr.. Smith over the wire it was decided that
a check for $500 should be made out to your
order This check | therefore enclose to
you with the request that you distribute the
amount in such manner as,ssyou, deem best
among the reporters who have done work
for the Associated Press.
1t is a great pleasure to me personally to
send this to you, and trust that it may
come to your men as a tangible assurance of
the profound appreciation which the Asso-
ciated Press feels for their faithful and adj
mirable work at time of so much personal
loss and distress
The gift so appropriately made has been
distributed and the News and Courier in ac-
knowledging it tomorrow will say: SIT gives
us inexpressible pleasure to receive and dis
tribute the handsome gift of the Associated
Press, and to add to it our own public testi-
mony to the loyalty, courage and industry
of the gentlemen through whose efforts and
by whose work the News and Courier has
continued to be published day after day, and
has been enabled to be a Beacon light to
this whole community. 1t is not improper
to mention we are sure that every one con-
nected with the News and Courier has suf
fered more or less by the Charleston calami-
ty, and this fact will render this gift of the
Associated Press all the more acceptable,
but unless we mistake the men to whose
useses the gift is dedicated they will esteem
even more highly the feeling and conviction
which prompted their gift than they will the
