>•!! ' .. ■
Mr. Zilkcr, engineer of the
King ice works, inform us
that the reason he was unable
to furnish the public with ice
today, whs that all of his
workmen had imbibed tco
much Grain whisky on Mon-
day night, it being so bad that
it has incapacitated them from
attending to their work, about
84 hours after drinking the
vile stuff.
Mr. Cr..in innst have for-
gotten the presence of ladies
at the meeting Monday night.
He used the word 'lie' thirty
seven times, the word 'damna-
ble' twelve times, the word
'pole-eat' thirteen times, the
word 'stinking' six times, and
'damnable liar' eight times;
besides using some other Ian
guage too vile for publication.
The Austin journalist, was right!
While listening to the vul-
gar harangue of the vain, ego-
tistical gentleman from DeWitt
at the opera house, we were
reminded of an extraet from
an old poeui, describing a
sinking vessel in a storm.—
Here it in:
"She s.ot and heaved,
And heaved and sot,
And high her rudder flung.
But every time she sot aud
heaved,
A worser leak she sprung."
Mr. Rentfro, in his address
at the opera house, referred
to Mr. Ci'rtin's Galveston
speech as "live columns of the
worst political balderdash and
slush that a disgusted reader
ever was under the necessity
of wading through." The
egotistical lump of vanity and
Conceit, surnarned Crain, ab-
solutely blushed—diard to be-
lieve, but true-actually blush-
ed, and ia an injured tone re-
plied that ''Gov. Stoekdale
and other great men had told
him that his Galveston speech
was the ablest they had ever
read." Whew ! Isn't Grain
modest I
When are those usejess tel-
ephone wires going to be tak-
en down?
Mr. Leonard Hay nos ar-
rived in town yesterday even
ing, on the M. & M. He re-
jturns up river tomorrow.
Mr. Crain road an extract
from an AuHtin paper stigma-
tizing him as a vulgar rowdy '
We don't know the Austin
journalist, but he certainly
knows Crain.
We are informed that the
independents have agreed to
support Judge Hayn.es for
county Judga, and Mr. W.
A. Vails for treasurer. No
other candidates havo thus
far been agreed on.
"Now I will let hi in go
Scott-free." íhank ce, thank
you, kindly Moeste* Grullo.
We rather enjoy cliasing
"Cranes," and will use qur
freedom in going oq a Crain
hunt. AVre would know xihere
to look for ypii, junoqg your
fit associates in ^he back part
pt some low 'doggery' wh^jre
AVhile Mr. Kentfro was
speaking upon the tariff ques-
tion he was frequently inter-
rupted by applause, and at
times this applause was so
hearty and prolonged that the
Speaker was compelled to
pause. When Craiu replied
he said that the parties who
applauded Mr. Kentfro were
"hired clappers,'' the gentle-
man using a French word,
meaning a professional ap
plauder. As some of our
best citizens, including such
men as Weibiski, Gerhard,
Champion, Fiolds, Cortez,
Villareal, Thielen, and many
other prominent men, were
engaged in this applauding.
Mr. Grain was certain I v com-
plimentary. When the shout
of delight at his ignominious
defeat is heard here in Nov-
ember, he will think the whole
county is l'hired"
This morning a gefypeman,
who ought to knotf, inarmed
qs that the barbarous demon-
stration made by a number of
countenanced by the body of
the troops at Fort Brown. It
was carried on by a crowd ol
recognized bummers, who are
more at home in the guard-
bouse than in a bar-room.—
The officers can, in no way,
be held responsible for the
conduct of the famous detach-
ment, and regret that it hap-
pened, as do the privates. —
Some of the rowdies have
been €*irrested and put in the
guardhouse, and will probably
be tried soon for the offense.
Some of those men claim that
they were not drunk, a^we
stated. So much the worse
for them, as no one would
think that a set of sane men
would be guilty of acting as
'they did unless they were un
der the influence of bad whis-
kv. We make the foregoing
«
statement in justice to the re
mainder of the troops station-
ed at Fort Brown and the of-
ficers that are in charge.
We suppose our democratic
friends will say that it is a lie
when we state that neither
this paper or any one connected
with it has ever done or said
anything that would justify
Mr. Crain in believing that it
intend to support him f« r
congress. Up to the time of
his late billingsgate' exploits
in Brownsville \vp had a pro-
found respect for that gentle-
man, as the political opponent
of Mr. Rentfro, and up
to that time had been very
careful not to say anything
that could be construed to
be personal abuse, but con-
fined ourselves to what we
considered the legitamate
grounds of political argument.
When Mr. Crain began to yell
in tones of thunder about what
lie supposed to be our moral
depravity—having sold out
political honor, political prin-
ciple and everything else to
the custom house for the
promise of republican support
in our candidacy tor the of
tice of county judge, or a
money consideration—the stab
in-the-back policy that he
alleged we had adopted in re-
gard to him, and a great many
other similar charges that
certainly did not sound very
pleasant to our ears wljen
trumpeted to the largest
Brownsville audience that we
have ever seen assembled,
we thought that forbearance
had ceased to be a virtue and
we opened out on him. When
he was in Brownsvillo for the
first time we treated him, in
these columns, with the
.
courtesy that wo thought he
was entitled to, and when, by
accident, we were at the Vic
toria nominating convention,
we may have (our recollec-
tion not being definite on that
point), congratulated Ijinj on
having obtained the nomina-
tion of his purty, but
we did not falj on
his shoulders, weqp and
intimate that it was onr opin-
ion that he was an angel from
the other world, only tempor-
praved sphere of ours, to res-
surrect the Seventh Congress
ional District from the cess-
pool of filth in which it was
writhing. No, Billy, you are
mistaken (we won't say lie).
Your conduct toward us has
showed us what yon are and
how to vote at the next elec-
tion. There are great many
people down in this corner of
the vineyard, that are in the
same fix as we are and did
*
not know who you were before.
They know now what you are,
and the November returns
from this cpunty will tell the
long tale of your misfortune.
