MR. RA7NurD's VIEWS.

Inere was good deal or anxiety
expressed today on the receipt of the
news that Jay Gould had bought the
ten miles of road that El Paso has
built toward White Oaks and which
the El Paso people had promised to
put in as their subscription to the
Denver & FL Paso Independent
road. As Mr.. Reynolds is better
posted than any one else here, his
views were asked today on the sub
iect.
"The sale will not damage our line
in the least" said Mr.. Reynolds; Gin
fact will be apt to help us with finan-
ciers when they find that Mr.. Gould
has so good an opinion of the coun-
try as to invest in it. When the
Denver 81 El Paso road was first agi-
tated the Ell Paso people offered, if
the road could be started, to donate
what road they had built toward
White Oaks as their contribution,
and, as it was mortgaged and in diff
ficulties, to pay off all liens and clear
up all debts. Ever since
that time they have been trying, not
withstanding their promises, to sell
or trade to anyone they thought
would or could buy, and have been
entirely too anxious to sell. They
have played fast and loose, but before
they get through will be apt to regret
it, and it may cost them very dearly.
"The fact is, if El Paso don't want
this road, which will be the best one
she possibly could get, as it will be
perfectly Independent road and would
virtually bring six trunk lines from the
north into the city, she don't have
to have it. When our road gets to
White Oaks, and it is an assured
fact that it will be built to that point,
it will be very easy to build from
there to Aransas Pass or some point
on the gulf, and also build branch
to Deming to connect there with the
road building from that point to the
Gulf of California. This course will
be decided upon at the proper time,
but such change would be one that
would hurt Ell Paso immensely, aud
if she wanted the road then she
would have. to do the right thing by
it.
"Mr. Gould bought the road, like
he buys all roads, because 1t was
cheap. The terminals it has in FL
Paso are worth more than he paid
for the entire property, and he doubt
less thinks to head off our line, if it
now goes there, or make it come to
him to get access into the city. The
terminals he can use for the Texas &
Pacific road, and I doubt very much
if he will build to White Oaks at
all. 1t is very hard to compel
such man to build if he
don't want TO. The talk, some
time ago, of his building from El
Paso to Trinidad, is nonsense. Gould
don't build roads, he waits and buys
them III, and the Ell Paso people will
yet regret the breaking of their faith
with the Denver & El l'aso indepen-
dent railroad.
GAS far as Las Vegas is concerned
it will not affect her, as we shall go
right on with the work and have the
best city in the southwest here be-
fore many months pass by"

GOULD GETS 1T.

Ell PAso, April 2s.-For several
days past the Associated Press re-
porter has been in possession of
terms of big railroad deal, Gould
was making here, but the reporter
was bound to secrecy not to give the
matter TO the public until the trade
was consummated. At 9 o'clock
this evening Jay Gould gave Chas.
Davis, receiver for the White Oaks
road, check on the Merchantile
Trust Co., of New York for $50, 1000.
The sale of the road was confirmed
by the court, and in thirty days
Gould is to commence building the
road from Ell Paso to White Oaks,
New Mexico, a distance of 100 miles
through the finest mineral and agri-
cultural country in the southwest.
Mr.. Gould does not say in which
way he will build from White Oaks.
Some say he will build to Denver,
while others say he will go through
to Washburn, Texas, and tap his
own line. Ten miles of road are
built out from El Paso. Mr.. Gould
was a conspicuous figure on the
streets today, but refused to say any
thing more than that he will COM
mence building Immediately. Mr..
Gould's road, the Texas & Pacific,
has also been unloading ties and
rails on line from his yards down
to the banks of the Rio Grande, in
dicating that he intended crossing
into Paso Del Norte, Mexico. Yes
terday Mr.. Gould offered Judge
Magoffin 100000 for his residence

BEWARE OF ROORBACKs.

Those Sensational Yarns You See in Demo-
cratic Papers Are PLAIN Lies.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The following was
issued to-day by the Republican national
com mittee:
The instructions of acting Attorney
general Aldrich to United States marsbals
and the citations from the law governing
their employment at the polls, together
with the penalties prescribed for interfer-
ence with them while in the performance
of their duties have brought consterna-
ton to Tammany. 1t is the belief that
with the proper precautions which will be
taken fair election can be held in this
city.
There have come to the Republican ma
tional committee, from various sources, IN
timatlons that the reserve crop of campaign
lies for issuance the day before election is
very prolific. and unusually sensational
articles are to be published, presenting
what is purported to be facts from all the
Western States for publication in the East.
and the reverse for publication in the West
when too late TO be contradlcted, that shall
have the intended effect at the last moment
of influencing the large number of men
who are always willing and anxious to be
on the winning side. They are to claim
every thing in the East and give over the
West bodily to the Weaver electoral vote.
Carefully prepared tables are to be pub
lished that shall prove their assertions. and
demonstrate that the election of Cleveland
is beyond question.
The Republicans all over the land
should~be prepared tor just this line of
action; they should discredit all claims not
based upon sure information, and the more
sensational the story the more It should be
discredited. The IRISH American vote Is to
have their careful consideration, and roor-
backs of the most sensational character
are to be published. The sentiment of the
race is to be worked for all it is worth, and
several prominent IrIsh-Americans, who
are as firmly Republican as the head of
the ticket himself. will be quoted as hav-
ing at the last moment turned to the
apostle Of the English interests and de-
sertlng protection and honest money for
the false gods of free trade and wildcat
currency.
BE on your guard; believe only that
which is consonant with common sense OF
accompanied by unimpeachable testimony
and do NOT change the conviction that has
come by honest thought, but vote as your
conscience dictates. and as you believe to
be right. You have the assurance of this
committee. based upon confidential and
reliable information all over the country.
that the nominees of the Republican party
will be elected by constitutional ma
jority that shall be beyond all question"
