POLITICS IN Ell PAso COUNTY.
Special 10 the Gazette.
Ell PAso, TEX, oct. 28.-The political
can paign wakes hotter and hotter, and
both parties are scratching names on the
county tickets. The placing Of dissatis-
fed Democrats on the Republican ticket
has disguised numbers of straight-out
Republicans, as well as the party which
they deserted.
GRAIN SPEAKS AT EAGLE PASS.
Special to the Gazette.
EAGLE Pass, Tex, oct. 2S.-Last
night Congressman Grain delivered the
ablest speech that has been heard to the
largest audience that has been seen in
Eagle Pass for many years. The large
room of the courthouse was crowded.
Representative men OF both parties and
several ladies were present. Mr.. Grain
held the interested attention OF his
hearers for upwards Of two hours. After
rebutting the ridiculous assertion
that he had spoken disparaginGly of the
MeXicau5, ne dealt very gently with his
opponent, and then gave IA mastery eG-
position OF the tariff question, rs being
the main issue between the Democratic
and Republican parties, dealing especl-
ally with free trade, not absolute free
trade, but free trade as opposed to pro-
lection. His exposure of the fallacies OF
the arguments in favor of protection
bristled with facts and logical
deductions. The Mckinley bill he
showed had already been felt il
dearer prices to the great bulk of the
peOple-the consumers-while wOoI had
actually gone down. He scathingly de-
nounced the force bill and gave broad,
stGtesmaD-lke forecast of the far-reach-
ing aud disastrous effects likely to follow
such measure in the South. He had
cemented old friendships and created
new ones by his great speech.
The people respect Mr.. SpOhn as
we'll meaning man, but they feel he is
no match for his brilliant opponent out
of congress, and would be poor substi-
tnte for HIN IN it.
