EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT
Tint state specials are full of Jones’ majori-
ties.
Ireland’s majority in Guadalupe county
will not be over 300.
New Ori.eans is in darkness —the gas co.
wont go on tick any longer.
A large number of independents have been
elected to the state legislature.
Ireland will fail to come out of northern
Texas with 40000 majority. It looks as if he
was beaten.
Gov. Davis should move out among his
friends; San Antonio would be proud of his
presence as a resident.
At Ft. Worth they built b. nfires over the
news trom New York; if Jones u elected they
can use the ashes for their sack-cloth.
In some places in New York the half-breed
republicans voted so openly and solidly for
Cleveland that the democrats voted for Folger
out of compliment.
Many staunch republicans are of the opin-
ion that a democratic victory in the presiden-
tial election would be a calamity that would
restoie the country to its senses.
The republican party of the north needs
cleansing— defeat will do it. A party with
“half-breeds” and stalwarts cannot long be
cohesive. Let the “hjlf-breeds” have their
way awhile the stalwarts can stand it.
The result in the 7th district proves that
Gov. Davis might have gone to congress had
he acquiesced in the call of his friends and be-
come a candidate in that district instead cf
the tenth but he considered it too much like
going from home to hunt an office and besides
Major Ochiltree was already in the field.
JONES AHEAD.
Indications point to Ireland’s defeat and
Jones’ election. The Galveston News is
dumb the Houston Post jubilant the heavy
democratic counties are giving Jones’ majori-
ties. If the result turns out as indicated Mr.
Ireland will reap the reward he justly deserve-
for his tight on Gov. Davis.
THE “BAR’L.”
The “bar’l” has become a necessary requi-
site for public office and honor. Tilden was
the first “bar’l” candidate; English was a
“bar 1” candidate; Cleveland the newly-elect-
ed governor of New York is a “bar’l” candi
date; Ben. Butler is a “bar’l” candidate and
Hancock is the Texas “bar’l” candidate
There will come a crash some day when thi
people will rise in their might and smash all
“bar’l” tickets that are presented to them*
Hancock poured out his “bar’l” as if it had
been water in order to corrupt the voters and
secure his election; he has succeeded but we
believe his success is only the first chapter in
a defeat that will engulf him and all like him
two years hence.
THE OUTLOOK.
The defeat of Gov. Davis we regard as a
calamity to this district and to the state. Had
he been elected Texas could have pointed to
the growth of liberal ideas and the death of
prejudice in her borders. The prospect of a
large democratic majority in the lower house
imperils the material prosperity of < ur district.
Hancock is nothing more or less than a dema-
gogue who will have neither intluence or in-
clination to look after the interests of our Sec-
tion. We can draw little comfort from the de-
feat. Tite tariff question will most certainly
be agitated and to be true to the result a re-
vision will be attempted and may be success-
ful despite the fact that the republicans hold
the senate. This agitation will cost our dis-
trict millions of dollars and may result in the
destruction of our wool interest and a com-
plete stoppage of all manufacturing enter-
prises now in prospect. No capitalist will be
so foolish as to put his money in a state that
has spoken so emphatically against protection.
No wool grower will be so unwise as to go on
without a certain prospect before him of receiv-
ing the favor of the government
WAS THERE TREACHERY ’
The vote of Bastrop Travis Williamson
and Burnet counties begins to make it look as
if there was treachery and deceit practiced by
the greenbackers in those counties towards
Gov. Davis. The republicans made a fair
deal with the greenbackers. The candidacy
•f Gov. Davis was a pledge to lones that the
republicans in the »tate would give him their
undivided support and in retuin Gov. Davis
should have received the entire vote of Wash.
Junes in the loth district.
Some suspicions got atloat before the elec-
tion day but they were choked down.
Had Gov. Davis spoken the word—a word
SAN ANTONIO TEXAS FRIDAY. NOVEMBER to 1883.
that would have flashed with the speed of the
lightning over the state—Col. Jones would
have found himself leading a forlorn little
band of impracticable politicians instead of a
host of people with a prospect of victory.
Col Jones failed to say a word to his follow-
ers to stand by Davis; how does this contrast
with the course pursued by Gov. Davis who
stood firmly and gallantly to his word and
gave Col. Jones his strength over the state. If
Jones polls a heavy vote in Texas it is because
the republicans were faithful to Davis The
defeat of Davis shows that Jones was not faith-
ful to the republicans.
It is a long lane that has no turning.
The Galveston News comes out and com-
pliments Maj. Ochiltree and adopts him as if
he was flesh of their flesh and bone of their
bone. Tom’s success is a big one and the
News tumbles to the racket.
In pulling Davidson several distinguished
local politicians of this vicinity have dug their
own pitfalls. It is a contest that has des-
troyed more than one victorious Hancock-ite.
Old Virginia has always gloried in being
the mother of Presidents. She will doubtless
come to the front this time as a factor in the
presidential ticket.
A meeting of the Literary and Debating So-
ciets was held last evening in the Federal
court room the Vice president Rev. C. C.
Armstrong occupying the chair.
After the opening formalities had been
passed the vjce-presnlent delivered an interes-
ting address on the position and prospects of
the society giving much wise counsel. Mr
Kyder-Taylor read Tennyson’s poem “Dyra”
and Mr. G. A. Wilbur delivered as an Oration
part of Professor “Christian-
ity a eulogy on man.” An interesting debate
followed on “Flattery a greater evil than
scandel” Messrs. C. C. Armstrong and I. M.
Emerson supporting the affirmative and Mes-
srs. C. Maule and C. M. Barnes the negative.
The temporary chairman (Mr. N. Sulzbacher)
gave the affirmative the palm of victory but on
a vote being taken the society by a majority
vote of one the chairman’s decided in favour
of the negative.

“My Partner.”
James It. Randall says of "My Partner" in
the Augusta Constitutionalist of October 17 :
"It does not cover crime with society ermine
or gild vice wii h elegrnt deception. There is
num-ot the Pink Domino suggestiveness or
clever double-entendre. It is free honest 11ml
emphatic and the mural is as robust ami
wholesome as the plot is open. The
whole play is illumined strengthened and
rounded by the character of Joe Saun-
ders. the hero of the miners’ camp. Bart-
ley Campbell certainly outdid Bret
Harte when he put Joe. Saunders into drama
ami George W. Thompson is in full sympathy
with the role. In his hands the part isall that
talent can secure or heroism enhance. Mr
Thompson is everything that that the public
can ask a first-class actor in every respect.
Mr. Hedley’s Henry Clay Britt candidate poli-
tician magistrate and masher is a part which
was the better tilled nt each successive step of
Him play. The characters sustained by the
ladies were quite acceptable and .Mr. Lennox’s
Chinee was very popular during the evening.
In the hands of this company the play is strong
mid effective is rich and robust in moral ami
consummation.”

DK. GRAVES DYING.
His Lite Despaired of by His Physician;
tlio Last Sacrament Adminis-
tered by a Priest.
Dr R. L Graves is dying of internal injuries
received by accidentally falling from a window
on Soledad street a few weeksago. His Inju-
ries were some time ago pronounced by his
chief attending physician. Dr. Hurtf to lie ir-
remediable. latst night Dr. Graves was in a
very bud condition and a medical attendant
and Rev. Fattier Johnson were almost con-
stantly by his bedside. This mofning the last
sacrament was administered to him by Father
Johnson.
Dr. Graves is an old citizen of San Antonio.
He once possessed a fortune of tin-value ot
8100000 or more but this he lost by improvi-
dence and gave away in charities. He has
long been a leader among the local democracy
mid is highly esteemed tor his many good quali-
ties.
COMMUNICATION FROM THE HEALTH
OFFICER
Dr. Monger has addressed the following com-
munication to the mayor:
Hon. J. H. French Mayor:
Dear Siu: Allow me to call especial atten-
tion to several places in our city deserving im-
mediate attention of the proper authorities.
Ist. The main watering place near the old
mill bridge.
2nd. The wooden pavement on North Flores
street.
3rd. The public square across the Sun Pedro
near the hospital.
4th. The places for deposit of refuse matter
011 the west side of the city.
sth. The old Odet house.
All of these places are in a dilapidated and
some in a dangerous condition. The place near
the mill bridge once a very convenient and
pleasant resort for the watering fraternity is
now converted into a steep ami dangerous al
icy. Iztrge rocks lay carelessly around and it
is but good luck that no vehicles and human
limbs have twen broken yet. The de-
posits of mud on the plaza near the hospital
is an ugly sight to look at and this place
should be leveled and freed of weeds and tilth.
There live as retined and law-abiding citizens
in the first ward across the Sun Pedro us in
any othdr part of the city and it is not mon
than their duty in asking the authorities to
keep the streets and public squares in good
condition. A petition signed by many promi-
nent citizens will soon again be presented to
the council to have that square cleaned amt
leveled.
In the wwtern suburbs along the streets
leading from the International depot tu the
first mile creek the refuse matter from tin
city is scattered about in u very cureless man-
ner. Large crowds of Mex leans men women
and children are nearly daily to be seen search-
ing for diamonds? ami scattering the filthy de
posits about the brush. There should be but
one main depository lor the filth and this
should be burned und the Mexicans should not
lie allowed to scatter the tilth about. The
westei n suburbs are settling up fust and these
filthy places will become u source of sickness
ami dangerous discuses if left to accumulate as
before. Wry Kespectluhy
it. Mender.
