Wheelmen arc booming along In elegant

is true, Zimmerman will not DO here,
but in his place tho club will have the

anticipated that It will DO necessary to

The Wheeling Athletic Wheclmen
last evening held meeting ut e. W.
Johnson's Sons, on Main street, and
transacted considerable business IN con-

Cincinnati trick rider, was engaged TO

with his protego "Pete" will cater to
the amusement OF the spectators. Han

timely executed.
Bids were received from holsters,

1t was given out that Chairman IL. Z.

Altogether the outlook for the meet
is considered very bright.

As TO Mr.. GRAIN.

The News regrets to know that
the BROWNSVILLE HERALD does not
appreciate Congressman Or in at
HE full value. 1t must be the re-
suit of the lack of acquaintance
with him, or nnfnmillsrity with his
record. TIE HEKALD says it does
not regard him as the most avail
able candidate who conld be found
in the distriet. The News feels
safe in asserting that there is not
mau in The district who could
come any where near defeating him
for the nominations; ind when he
goes before the people William
Henry is "strictly in IT." to Use
the vernacu.ar of the street. Why,
at the last election, nOtwithstaud
ing the frequent prophecies OF his
opponents that he would be over
whslmingly defeated. he received
neerly 1900 votes moe than the
combined vote oil his opponents. Ii
Cra:u has any serious opposition it
exists only in the counties of trlo,
LaSaIle, jackson and Victoria, and
the chances are about even that
neither Of those counties will send
mp delegations to the district con
vention instructed against him. Mr..
Fly, the only svowed candidate in
the field against him, will have a
hard Fight TO secure the vote of his
own county iVictoris) as against
Gram. So far AS Webb is concerns
ed, ar open vote today would not
disclose, outside of republican ranks,
twenty men opposed to Mr.. Cram.
Talk about availabiliryt Why there
can be no more available man than
our William Henry, aud there
certainly ia none more abie.-La-
redo News.
The News IL, OF course, entitled
60 it's own opinion regarding Mr..
Grains value as representative.
We wish, however, that the News
would correct the impression con-
Teyea by the above article as to
what TIE HERALD thinks of MIR.
Grains availability as candidate.
As va said, he is far superior to
any that have come out against
him, both in mental calibre and
IN popularity. There is no doubt
that he will secure the nomination.
But we believe that M. Grains
popularity is fast waning. We
know that many influential dem
ocrats who formerly supported him
are now opposed to him, or at
least very lukeworm in his cause.
Not only in the counties mentioned
By the News, but slso in GOliad
and even in De Witt, Mr.. Grains
own county. a strong opposition to
him has developed. While we do
not believe that Mr.. Grain, as the
regular democratic nominee would
Be defeated. we do believe that a
much stronger candidate could De

tdon.-

THAT OTHER RAILROAD.
The Proposition of the Information
al and Great Northern.

mass meeting of citizens recently
held at Pleasanton in the interest
of the international & Grert North
ern Railroad appears in the Pleas
anton Monitor, which shows with
what enthusiasm the project is meet
ing in Atascoss county. The
write up reads:
According to the call which APP
peared in last weeks issue of this
paper there was most enthusiastic
railroad meeting held here on the
22d inst. Nearly every man in and
around Pleasanton and all the
county Was represented by men
who were interested in the pro
iect. Campbellion, Tilden, San
Diego, O-kvllle, Fairview, Flores
vile and San Antonio were
represented 10y their best citizens.
Several speeches were made and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.
a proposition was made By Gen
Russ, who represented The citizens
of San Antonio and Eastern caP
italiats. The proposition was very
liberal in it's terms and was receiv
ed by our citizens with favor. a
committee was appointed who re
ceivtd from the railroad people
their proposition, which appears in
this issue. Our people are very
much interested in securing rail
road and especially FROM San An
tonic. Our committee is at present
very ousy in trying to secure sub
scriptions and are meeting with
substantial encouragement. The
pulse of our people quickens when
they are spuk, IL to on this matter
aud the most intense interest is
expressed and felt on all sides.
The u most harmony and good
will was shown on all sides. The
people who live on the proposed
route beyond Plessanton feel
little hurt on the uncertainty of II
being extended in their direction.
Everything else was harmonious.
"Now, With strong pull and q
long pull, and phil altogether, we
Can secure THE road. The Muni-
tor says "Lay on, McDuff.' "
The proposition presented to the
citizens OF that county by the pro-
iectors OF the road and published
in the same paper lie as follows:
"Seventy-6ve thousand dollars,
$4,000 to be subscribed TO the cap
ital stock of the company, $4,000
in cash, S32, 1000 in Lands; all cash
subscriptions to be paid as follows:
Tweenty five per cent whom the
proposed road is completed to the
county line; 25 per cent when the
road is completed to Plessanton;
25 per cent Elk months after the
completion of the road into Piessnn
ton, and 25 per cent twelve months
after the complexion OF the road i'll
to Pleassnton; the land subscription
to be paid when the road is complet
ed into Pleasanton, lands to be taken
at their market value at the time
of subscribing.
mo proposition could be made
liberal or fair. IF our people ever
intend to build a railroad or assisI
in doing so now is the time for
them to act. Let everybody, old
and young, do something now for
this time and we will be sure and
succeed. 1t will benefit every one
md harm no ole. The Monitor
oplnes that the road will be built"
