Ed. HERALD:-The Jacksss Of the
Revolutionary Times drops his ears,
aud brings the following for Sunday
reading:
Hanna's methods are finding favor
with desperate candidate in Ell Paso.
Horace B. Stevens has been referred
to in this paper rs "Holy Bible Stew
ems" Au occas opal reader may think
thai we believe Fl. B. Stevens to be a
good man. We do not ana the devel-
opmepts of this campaign have already
shown that he is INSCRIPTIONS when
his own personal interests are involv-
ed. He is the republics candidate for
city treasurer and the So larry OF that Of
fee is fifty dollars per month. He Is
also the agent for G.. H S:llmau, land
mortgage banker of Fort Worth, Tex,
who COW claims the land remainip g
unsold in what is known as Satterth-
waite's addition. The lard by the San
TIA Fee stock yards, between the S. p.
land between the S. p. railroad
and the Santa Fe railroad are
in that add ton There are
about go Mexican voters who are regis
tered living on those lands. They
rent this land from II. B. Stevens and
they live in houses which they cons
true ed end which they own. H. B.
Stevens brother collects rents from
them. Horace Stevens brother, as
agent for Horace Stsveos, has tried to
persuade these voters to vote the re-
, publican ticket Some of them are
demOcra's aud desire to vote the DEM
| ocratic ticket, and Stevens has actual
ly threatened them, so the Times is
reliably informed, that il they do not
vote the republican ticket he will force
them to ID ave the lands. This means
the loss to the m OF the hcu@es which
they have built. Nothing could be
more corrupt, tyr ariral or villianous,
and We hope Intel igent voters will see
to it that such a man does not succeed,

The following card, of which the
original is in my possession; proves the
Times stateme Mt falsehocd in every
particular.
This is TO certify that 1, N. P. Bell
es did not hear Chas. b. Stevens say to
any MeXicans that if they did not
vote the republican ticket, he would
put them off the ground he scollects
rent for. In joking way, Stevens
said to me that if any Mexican who
had promised TO vote the republican
ticket, failed to do SO, he would raise
their rent en- them.

as above, a new conner sent by one, D.
