MUONS ON THE A Free and Easy Ballot in Two Coun tries. ■sxlra* Cltlsens Are Imported ts Tnu to mine Suffrage—Ochiltree's Ctmpiilirn on the i Grande—How Crain Uot the Drop on 111m ent. grout portion of tho interior counties. Al- gii the “boys” of Galveston were 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. Advich to Mothers.—Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It re lieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child two from pain, and the littlo cherub awakes as ■ ‘ :nt “bright as a button.” It Is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the guins, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu lates the bowels and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes.
