TRACY ExCORIATED.
State Senator Crane Goes for tl& $u
Treasury Man Without Glov{g

Attorney w. F. Ramsey of Cleburne is in
| the city. He was present yesterday at the
| Alliance picnic six miles west of Cleburne,
| at Lees academy, and in conversation with
| a GAZETTE reporter was glorying over the
| excoriation which Sub-Treasury Tracy re-
| ceived at the hands of Senator NJ. NJ. Crane
Seven thousand people were present and
| witnessed Tracy's Waterloo. Several
! times heretofore Democrats have been in
| vited to debate this question with Coleman,
Macune and others, but have not been al
lowed to speak. Yesterday the Democrats
were out in force and were determined that
no bluff game should be worked.
Senator Crane spoke first, addressing the
crowd for an hour and half. Tracy fol-
lowed with speech of the same length.
Senator Crane then closed. his speech with
half hours talk, and Tracy's rejoinder
was the same length. Mr.. Ramsey says
that the apostle of sub-treasuryism was
evidently ratified, and made ali sorts of
statements and bold propositions. Tracy
said afterwards that Crane was the strong
est man he had yet met on this question,
and acknowledged that he was a little
bested in the argument :
The crowd was enthusiastic over the RI
suit and repeatedly cheered Senator CrS1e,
as he one by one pointed out the fallaci& Of
the sub-treasury fraud.
Mr.. Ramsey, Just as the reporter wal Tx
IN johnson county are walked up over this
question and will furnish speakers to down
any sub-treasury men-in fact, we rather
banker after the scalps of these rovers who
are deceiving the farmers. Senator Crane,
W. Poindexter and H. p. Brown will be
pitted against any of Macune's hench-
men who show their faces in johnson
county.
