Brownbvillb. Tex., December 18.—If
Texas were a doubtful,or, as the politician
Would say, a “pivotal” Btate, the manner
of conducting elections on the Rio Grande
border would be certain of receiving pret
ty general attention. But as the elections
in Texas are generally os one-sided us
100,000 majority, more or less, can make
them, the Texans themselves pay little at
tention to the mannerof conducting them.
There is neither a poll tax nor a registra
tion law to obstruct the Texan’s approach
to the ballot box. A certain period of
time resident in the state and district is
required ob a formality, but Texans hate
formalities and only the meanest workers
for a closely pressed candidate would think
of challenging a mau offering to exercise
the right of suffrage.
MAKING VOTERS.
In the counties bordering on the Rio
Grande the system of making, or it might
be unmaking, majorities would make a
Joe Mackin blush, or a Tammany ward-
worker green with envy. There is hardly
any limit to the resources availuble. On
the occasion of a closely contested election
the male population of Mexico is drained
for twenty miles. It Is considered the
natural caper in these parts, and instead of
objecting or protesting, an opposing can
didate will only try to get the best of tho
game. Of course, nfter the election, tho
ory of fraud is always raised, but as an in
vestigation would be almost certain
to show only the degree
of blackness between the pot
and the kettle, it is never called for. The
man who is popular with the Mexicans is
tho solid election Muldoon on the border.
It Is sufe to say that from 1000 to 5000 Mex
icans are imported into Texas for voting
purposes on the occasionof an exciting or
warmly contested election. Contests of
these kinds are mostly of a local charac
ter, though on tho occasion of nt least two
congressional elections the system wus
worked for all it wus worth.
HOW OCHII.TKEK WAS KLCTED.
Tom Ochiltree owes his election to con
gress to his superior manipulation of the
Mexican vote. Torn understands the
Mexicans about as well as ho does a good
hand at poker, and he can play them
equally as well. Tho seventh congression
al district of Texas, which had tho honor
of having Col. Ochiltree for a representa
tive in tho forty-eighth congress, extends
from Galveston to Brownsville along the
coast., and from Brownsville to Ragle Pass
along the border. About 500 miles of the
frontier of Mexico fronts on the seventh
congressional district. Ochiltree knew
the district from end to end. As an old
Texas ranger ho was familiar with the
border, and as a United Slates
marshal he had business with
gr
thoug
working hard for Tom, the odds were
aguinst him, and he set about to capture
the Mexican vote. He opened bis Mexi
can campaign at San Antonio. Ban An-
tonso is not in the seventh district, but all
tho same Tom needed it in his business. He
appeared thereon a Sunday morning and
went to early mass. He got an introduc
tion to the priest, talked piously, and
through tho priest got an introduction to
the bishop. Tom felt completely at home
in such good company. He told the bishop
that he wus one of his boys; that he was
baptized by him when an infant.
This delighted the good man. Tom
talked of a stained glass window for the
church and made other incidental but sug
gestive allusions to what he intended to do
in tho near future. The bishop had not
the slightest suspicion of Tom’s character
or object, and when he was informed that
Tom intended to make a tour of the Rio
Grande country on both sides of the river,
the bishop insisted upon giving him sev
eral letters of introduction to friends in
that region. This was what Tom was
playing for, and when he secured the let
ters he raked in, os he would say to him
self, a “Jack pot.”
CAMPAIGNING IN MEXICO.
For four weeks Ochiltree worked the
Rio Grande country on both sides of the
river. He visited all the jackals, ranches
and hamlets in Mexico within twenty
miles of the river. The bishop’s letter
made him solid with the priests and the
women, nud with the aid of these he
worked the men. He conspicuously ex
hibited a rosary and scapular and never
thought of retiring for tho night, or begiu-
4ling tbo work of the day, without praying
at least live minutes. It Is even said that
ho carried a bottle of holy water oil his
person which he frequently sprinkled on
the children, telling the thankful parents
at the same time that it was specially
Jjlossed for him by his friend the bishop of
San Antonio. After making this kind of a
campaign for a couple of weeks, Ochiltree
intrusted his interests to James B. Luby
and retired to Galveston,
OCHILTKEE’S RIGHT ROWER.
Up to the time that Ochiltree became a
candidate for congress Luby was a demo
cratic politician on the Rio Grande, lie
hand been county judge of Duval county,
and Wits very popular with the Mexicans.
He is familiarly known as Fandango Jim.
How Ochiltree converted him is not gen
erally known, but the fact that lie was ap
pointed collector of customs at Browns
ville through Ochiltree’s inlluence soon
after the cl ction may have had something
to do with it. Anyhow, people think so.
I.uby is a jolly fellow, almost as good a
story-teller us Ochiltree, and is acquainted
with every Mexican of influence be
tween Isvredo and Brownsville. About
a week before the election Mexi
cans began to cross the river in
groups. Somo of them swam, some of
them wuded, some of them ‘crossed in
skiffs, others swain the stream on horse
back. They were corralled like sheep and
fed dried beef and mescal. They were kept
in a good-natured state of medium intoxi
cation all the time. Mescal is the national
drink of Mexico, and can be purchased at
haciendas or rural hamlets for 25 cents a
gallon. The Ochiltree raunagers on the
border took the precaution of having a
supply on hand. It is hardly necessary to
suy that it paid no duty to Uncle Sam in
crossing the river.
VOTING IN SQUADS.
On election day the imported voters
were marched in squads to the polling-
places. Of course, due attention was paid
in advance to tue selection of election
officers, and two or three patent swearers
ware placed at each poll for the purpose of
testifying the right of every applicant to
vote. The population shown by the Rio
Grande counties by the result of
the vote on that day, paralyzed the natives
of the northern counties of the district.
The friends of the democratic candidate
had a couple of hundred Mexicans on hand
on their own hook, but tho
swarm of voters imported by the
Ochiltree men knocked them silly, and
they made but a feeble effort to stem the
tide. After the election the supply of
dried beef aud mescal was cut off, and the
imported peons crossed the river to the
land of God and liberty, thankful for the
opportunity awarded them of enjoying a
lirst-olass jamboree.
ALWAYS THE SAME.
The methods employed to capture the
M xican vote are much the same on ail
occasions. Nor is Mexican voting a rare
thing, or confined to snecial instances.
Mexicans openly vote at all elections ou
the border. Candidates electioneer in
Mexico the same as in Texas, and there
is not much privacy enjoined on
the imported voters. Inexperienced can
vassers frequently go to work on tho peons,
irrigate them with mescal and scatter some
fractional currency among them. A vet
eran campaigner on the border, however,
will never do this. The peon is not a free
agontand will vote in Texas as in Mexico,
as the don bids him. The plan is to get
into the good graces of a proprietor, or a
merchant, and they will control the peons.
It is advisable, however, to have entertain
ment for the voter in tho Bhape of plenty
of mescal when he crosses the river, else a
rival worker may succeed in stealing him
on the sly.
