A WAR OF EXTER MlNATION ON
PROTECTION.

A WAp r CT SAVERS.

Geo. 5. Williamson and five others
come out with a statement in the
Times of the 18th, that they will sup
port Savers. They say: THE best
way to assist his cause is to see that
his name is printed on all the tickets
used at the polls, and to have two or
three persons at all polling places to
see that his name is not scratched"
We admit that, if this method is
carried out, Mr.. Sayers will be unani-
mously elected. But does not this
sound a little arbitrary? Hasn't it the
Mills ring? Have these orders come
from the dark lantern committee
room? Is this part of the new creed?
1t reads much like a Mills order that
no free trade member of congress
should pair with protection demo-

The above is what Senator Vest
terms the Mills bill. 1t is true, as he
explains, that the statement was not
made tor publicity; but he admits hav-
ing made it in letter to a friend in
st. Louis, and for this very reason we
consider this statement expresses his
real sentiments on the subject more
honestly than any statements made
for the public and for his opponents to
criticise. Vest is the brainiest man
on the free trade side Of the question.
Not perhaps so noisy as Mills, but
more prudent. But for Vest and 9TH
ers like him, President Cleveland
would hever have issued his free trade
message Of one idea; and, if defeated
as it now seems certain that
he will, he can charge
his downfall to Vest and con
federates. "a war Of determination, ~
and "a war to a bitter death" will
likely turn out to be deadly boomer
angs to the free traders. They may
bury Sayers and send Belknap to con.
gress.

BREWSTER VS.. GRAIN.

Judge Howard, OF the Cotulla Times
gave us a call on the 25th, and he re
ports that Col. Brewster is hopping
up sheep-shears Grain quite lively IN
the Seventh district. Judge Howard
is democrat, but he doesn't veal
the new free trade iron collar and pro-
poses to battle for the interests of the
wool and cattle men irrespective OF
party. He is right, and his conduct
| is in marked contrast with that OF
Mr.. Grain who yielded to the party
lash and sold his district and didn' t
even get a mess of pottage, but he
has got the cattle and wool men af-
ter him and he will find it very diff
cult to explain his statements to the
wool men. II am opposed to any re-
duction in the wool tariff that is not
accompanied by a commensurate re-
duction in the duty on goods manu-
featured from WOOL" Did he keep
this promise? Not much. He put
wool on the free list, and wooden
goods to have been commensurate
with "free wOoln should have been on
the free listn also Does the wool
man find wooden goods on the free
list? Not at all. Col. Brewster, the
peoples nominee in that district,
finds it easy to defend the peoples
interests. as William Henry Grain
will find it impossible to defend him.
self. The question there is very
simple one, like the question in our
district, is the free trade party creed
to every industry of the
people in these districts? Has the time
come when the vast sheep ranches of
west and southwest Texas are to dis
appear? Must our great cattle and
horse interests be transferred from
Texas to Chihuahua and Sonora in
our sister republic? Not quite we
think. The sOvereigns of San An
tonic, Galveston. Victoria, Corpus |
Christi, Brownsville, Rio Grande city, |
Laredo and Eagle Pass will answer at |
the ballot box, no, thousand times
no. They will say to Mr.. Grain and
savers we will lay aside our allie
glance for this occasion, and teach
you lesson you will remember.
They will show by their votes, that,
while they, savers and Grain, may
sell themselves, they can not sell and
deliver their constituents. The
seventh district is fortunate in having
'Ol. G. G. Brewster as a leader,
cared in the district, familiar with
Is industries, and in full sympathy
With them, clear headed, fearless,
md one whom no party ties could
Compel to sell th2 immense growing
interests Of his constituents. The
,uly thing left for the stOckmen to do |
here is to send him to Washington
Instead of the coward Grain.

There was quite gathering on the pubic square in this village on Wednes-
 day D. m., 18th inst, the occasion being
 the raising of two fine poles, and swinging to the breeze 8 Harrison and Morton ban ner. Squire Washburn made few re- marks appropriate to the occasion. "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung, a rous- ing cheer given. Also one more step in the campaign was taken. A Cleveland and Thurman flag was floating 8 short time previous, and here the two rival banners confront each other, each hoping to win the day, and one or the other doubtless will, which, we can tell better after cleo tion. There are no great demonstrations on either side in this section. Everything is quiet-so let it be.
 The surprise "birth-day'' party given to Mrs. M. A. Cady on Saturday p, m. al d evening, 10th inst, was notable affair. It was the most numerously attended of any of the similar gatherings which have been held of late, and it proved a double surprise, inas much as the occupants of the parsonage opposite came in for 8 share of the honors, after the presentation of a nice dress pattern and trimmings, in neat ad- dress by Miss May Washburn to Mrs. Cady. A knit hood and other gifts also were presented. Two nice quilts were presented in q happy manner by Mrs. Me Kinney and Mrs. Cady-one to Mrs. Breed, and the other to Miss Carrie Breed. Abundance of good things to refresh the inner man loaded the tables, and the com pany enjoyed themselves, as those who in dulge in such manifestations of neighborly kindness and good will know how, and the demonstration to Mrs. 0. was the more hearty from the fact that she is one who does not know how to spare herself in helping those who need help, far or near.
