FL Paso Herald: "The fact that
a:candidate for office is willing to
contribute large sums of money to
the corruption fund of an election
campaign, hoping thereby to Sc
cure his election, should be regard
ed by every rejecting tax payer as
an infallible sign of that candi-
dates inefficiency and dishonesty.
What hope can there be for an
honest administration of our pub
lie affairs, If we elect to office men
who, even before being elected, will
stoop to the most degrading and
dishonest means of obtaining
Off CO."

Hot Tamales for Gus,

The Texas Populist comments
on Hon. Gus Houston's speech at
Llano as follows:
"a. w. Houston, that Tamale
statesman CD from the 'chapparaP
country, delivered speech to a
small audience here last Monday
night. In his speech he said some
good things, which is worthy of
due consideration, but the most OF
his speech was that same old Dem
ocratic song anecdotes, whom
nearly every man has known since
his boyhood, slang, ridicule and
misrepresentation, was his main
argument.
lie misrepresented the Republi-
can party, and he is either igno-
rant, as to what the Populists de-
mand and teach, or he is a wilful
liar. He howled and scrowled
about the Republicans endorsing
some of the Populist nominees.
Yes, he was worried so much
about that, that he could not dwell
on one subject even five minutes.
The Populists in this district can
console themselves by knowing
that this demagogue will never get
to Congress.
He is goldbug, and is trying to
deceive the people.

There is business man in our

solicited his aid, and he quickly
said "why, I am a Democrat

He will change to Pop next; that

Mr.. Messmer's Explanation.

SANDERsoN, Tex, Oct. ).
To the Daily LIGHT:
III the editorial columns of the
Express, this date, | note the fol-
lowing:
"The congressional campaign
seems to wobble a bit when it
reaches the country districts. For
instance, an announcement of a
speech by Judge Noonan, Republi-
can candidate, distributed by
dodgers" at LlanO, a strong Demo-
cratic county, reads as follows:
JUDGE NOONAN,
INDEPENDENT
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
on the
Republican Ticket,
Will speak at the courthouse to-
night at 80.
1t is evident that this is done
"with intent to deceive;" was it
the work OF the Judge, or some of
his "smart Alec" friends?"
There are three glazing inaccur-
acies in the above statement.
First The congressional cam
paign is not on the "wobble," but
is going right along toward a glo.
rious Noonan victory.
Second-Whatever Llano may
have been heretofore it is not now
strong Democratic county; the
majority Of it's county officers be-
ing Populists, and the county to-
day confidently claimed by them.
Third-There was no "intent to
deceive" That notice was written
by myself. The intent of its phras-
eolOgy was to set forth the
manly independence" of the Re-
publican candidate, Judge Noonan,
in contradistinction to the depend.
ence" of the Democratic candidate,
A. w. Houston, who had pro-
nounced the assertion, that he
would step outside OF party lines to
subserve the interests of his dis
trict, "a campaign lie." AS to the
"evident" intent to deceive, so mi.
raculously discovered by the Ex-
press, it is much more evident that
the discoverer is an ass. The
declaration of the Judges candi.
dacy as Republican is open and
plain. No man "runs" on ticket
unless nominated so to do, and the
whole meaning of the would-be
criticism of the Express is to make
political capital out of perversion
Of language. w. S. MEssMER.

The Terrible Accident Which Befell
Lewis Mckinney.

Run Over at Lewiston Junction by a
Grand Trunk Train, He Was Mangled
Beyond Recognition-He Was Deaf and
Did Not Hear the Train.
A most horrible accident happened on
the Grand Trunk railway yesterday fore
noon, at Lewiston junction, by which
Mr.. Lewis McKenney, an aged and deaf
farmer, was run over at a grade crossing
The train was passenger No. a, which
passes Lewiston Junction about l1.12
O o'clock, and is due here at IL. ID p. m. 1t
was drawn by engine No. 1870, III charge
of Engineer Levi Noyes. Mr.. George
Fickett was conductor of the train. The
crossing is about an eighth OF mile
from the station of Lewiston Junction,
the road crossing both branches of the
railroad, which meet at the station. Mr..
McKenny had evidently started for Lew
iston with a pung load of produce. He
was about 65 years old, and is said to
have been very deaf. The train was al
ready slowing down for the station, as it
approached the crossing. He probably
did not either hear or see it until it was
close upon him. The engineer had no
time to stop the train or avert the accl-
dent. The manner in which the remains
of the pung were disposed indicates that
the horse alone was struck at first. The
pung was thrown backward not over %
feet and with the exception of the
shafts, which were broken short off. it
was not injured, or even overturned. 1T
seems probable that mir. Mckinney, at
last seeing the train, frightened his grasp
on the reins to urge the horse forward.
The horse, being caught by the train,
was drawn under with irresistible force,
and it is probable that the reins pulled
Mr.. Mckinney under also. He was
killed on the rail next his pung. while
the horse was apparently torn to pieces
by the rail and wheels on the other side.
When the train was finally stopped and
the conductor and passengers went back,
horrible spectacle met their gaze. Mr..
McKenney was cut to pieces to such an
extent that he was unacceptable. A
portion of his limbs lay on one side of
the rail, and the remainder of the body
on the other side. The face was battered
beyond recognition.
The horse was, dragged under the
wheels on the other side until the train
stopped. In some way the animal caught
on the brake reds of the baggage car
and hung there. The body was all brok-
en- and torn to pieces.
Mr.. McKenney was widower, his
wife having died short time ago. He
leaves several grown-up children.

A COLLISION.
The Tug Jones Rams the Warren during a
Harbor Race.

A collision occurred in the harbor
yesterday forenoon between the tugs
Warren, Captain Howes, and S.B. Jones,
Capt. Geo. II. Matthews. No serious
damage resulted; but the escape from a
disaster was narrow. The Warren had
been outside, and was coming in. The
Jones, which is new boat in these
waters, was near the Breakwater, and
awaited the Warren, probably for little
trial of speed. AS the two tugs came
abreast they speeded up, the Warren be-
ing on the inside track next the Break
water. The two boats ran along side by
side for short distance. when the Jones
suddenly swerved and her bow crashed
into the Warren ssside, breaking in the
rail and several stanchions. The shock
was quite severe and caused considerable
excitement. But no further damage was
done, and neither boat was crippled.
1t is not an uncommon thing for
boarts running so near together to be
driven together by the suction which is
created, and this was the case yesterday.
Captain Matthews says he misjudged
the force of this suction; and frankly
acknowledges his blame.
