Written for the Light by San Pedro]
Brine: '(after investing in a glass and
dumping it below his nose) I wonder who
the Dutch will put against me anyhow?
I hear they are hot.
Claud: I don’t know yer honor but I
do know that that is the eighteenth glass
you’ve absorbed this morning. That’t
too many. Let up old hoss or you’ll
drown every idea in your body.
Brine: Go to—Ciaud! and tell old Nick
that his “home is safe.” or rather Geo. W.
B. is. They are both my friends any-
how
Claud: I always knew that since I wrote
your first message—but changing the sub-
ject. when will you perpetrate you tic-
ket?
Brine- When I d—d please understand
that? That d—d Dtitcii editor across the
street there would like to know too. I
guess.
C)a»d: You shouldn’t ignore him even
If he is Dutch.
Brine: You know I never did like
them nor the Irish only to vote for me
aad d—n them they have to do that. You
bet they have.
Claud: Something else they have to
do too.
Brine: What’s that?
Claud: Give us the offices and pay the
taxes.
Brine: Correct Claud you’re a brick
put it there and let’s take another and
then join the ghost dance.
Claud: Haven’t time now must figure
on that bond question some more. Those
$300000 worth of bonds are hard to find—-
except on paper. By the way. between
you and me where the d—l are they
anyway.
Brine: Hold your ears down here low
and I’ll tell you. When I went to New
York to sell the bonds I found that no one
would have them. They had heard of
me it seems and of the wav I had pulled
the town’s leg. I brought Herff with me.
We bummed around from one bank to
another until it was evident that we
couldn’t get enough for our bonds to keep
a sanitary cart in motion. Herff went a
good deal on his shape and those whis-
kers of his but the wind went through
him and them all the same. Finally we
ran across Col Brackenridge who gave
me his personal check for $lOOOOO and I
gave him the bonds in question.
Claud: Then you soaked those bonds
after a 11—5350000 worth for $lOOOOO. Bad
business you know bad business. Won-
der he let you have the money knowing
* the city is so much in the soup.
Brine: He hadn’t forgotten how hard I
tried to sell the waterworks for $7000000—
seven times more than it’s worth. You bet
if the d—d Dutch had not voted us down
my name would be written in letters of
gold on the Brackenridge mansion. But
I’ll show em yet.
Claud: But we can make 'em swallow
the waterworks yet.
Brine: Not just yet; wait until I im-
port some more vindicators and then let
the Gringos stand from under. Then I’ll
scrape up the Dutch and Irish and cart
them off to the trash heaps. I’ve it in for
’em and I guess they know It. By the
way Kramer suggests that I let him carve
my picture on the tower of the new city
hall. (Pass that bottle before you ten
me what you think about it.)
Claud: I wouldn’t let him do it it would
be unsafe for you.
Brine: Why would it?
Claud: Because in the first place to
follow the unities it ought to be cast in
brass and in the second place it is proba-
ble that you would sneeze yourself to
death looking at it.
Brine: I want no more sarcasm from
you but—yes them's mine charge the
others to Ed—continue to watch Scott
and saw wood. Dang it the way my head
swims the bartender must have given us
the hack-driver’s bottle.
Claud: Then you’re in the swim.
Brine: Yes and the inside of me is
drowning just now.
Claud: G-o-o-dl but yer honor here is
something in my inside pocket that I
dashed off this morning while you was
trying to efface Scott’s name from the
mesquite block pavement contract; you
can read it while I make faces at that
‘ d—d dutch editor” as you call him.
Join the ghost dance latest known.
Dance the flesh from off the bone
Stand not idly out alone.
But shake your leg in ev’ry zone
’Tween here and Mount Moriah.
For we are sluggers over grown
We’re the chiefs of San Antone.
The Alamo wig warn is our own
And we ll dance Brine to the throne.
For he is our Messiah.
Brine: By the power of this safe-crack-
ing breath of mine that is good. Yes I’m
their Messiah and d—n them they’ll have
to dance around me while there’s a dollar
of city money to blow in.
CHILK-CON-CARNE.
The people will hold a ratification
meeting Wednesday night.
When a good honest man will be named
for mayor.
All vacancies on the ticket (only two)
will be filled with good men.
There is much uneasiness in the king s
camp.
One of the faithful henchmen has be
come disgusted and respectfully declines
the nomination.
Charles Merritt Barnes will not get a
smell on the king's ticket.
* * *
W. W. Walling will be the next city at-
torney.
Fritz Russi's day’s are numbered. The
king has promised another man his job
but neither will get a smell.
Griff did not get the appointment of
city detective. Charlie was thought to
have more Influence with the sports.
Watch his nervousness and how he
does pull that beautiful mustache.
We will soon address him as his honor
Judge Gallagher.
The Johnson grass statesman thinks
he is better than a gambler. It is a grave
question.
Aiderman Kalteyer threw away his
best opportunity when he declined the
people’s offer as mayor and Captain
Schramm’s endorsement.
* * *
The king seems to be afraid of his tick-
et. He is suspicious of his own lieuten-
ants.
Hisowncamp is full of traitors who
are only silent from fear or promised
favors.
Only put your finger on some of our so-
called leading citizens and you will stir
up a whole nest of skunks.
Those promised water mains will never
be laid to that suburban addition unless
the company gets a cash guarantee.
Nearly all the money gone and the
street work not half done.
Aiderman Sartor has become so sick of
his late political associates that he has
gone off on recuperating trip and will
not run in the King’s harness this heat.
The chairman of the finance committee
who pays the total tax of $3.50 a year has
been suddenly called away from town on
important business.
The King is very slow in making up
his ticket. Is he afraid of the people?
The Light can name a man for Brine’s
aiderman for the Second ward who we
will guarantee will organize a strike
among the aidermen and other officials in
less than a month and this will not be
“news” to many of our working men.
Desertion from the King's ranks are in-
creasing daily.
SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
Large bodies move slowly; the people
are moving.
There is a wide difference between a
spontaneous meeting of the people to se-
cure a ticket and the secret conclave of a
city ring.
No man is perfect—the people cannot
expect perfection in their candidates but
they do demand a clean conservative man
for mayor.
The anti-administration ticket will not
be a cut and dried affair; the people have
had difficulty to secure the proper men
for office.
The power of the ring has been potent
in preventing many of our citizens from
becoming candidates. Her people are
wide awake now.
The desperation of the present city
administration in its determination to
keep in office has had the effect to arouse
the voters to action.
It will be certain that so far as the
ring candidate for mayor is concerned
there was no solicitation required. He
was there already and wants to stay.
The ring ticket was made in a corner;
there was no such thing as offering nom-
inations to good citizens outside the deal.
There was no declining with thanks no
interviews in the organ. Silence and
secrecy marked everv move.
The people want everything open and
aboveboard; they resent the assumption
of a few office-holders to dictate to them
for whom they shall vote.

SOME SUNDAY SPORTS.
A Large Crowd Witnessed Them at
Springs Yesterday.
A large crowd of spectators turned out
for the athletic sports adyertised to take
place at the Springe Sunday afternoon.
A goodly number of amateur athletes
(were there too. and several running and
walking contests were carried out. The
ground howeuer was in a bad condition
being almost too Camp.
A fifty yards boys sack race five entriee
and won in 25 seconds by Henry Webber
opened the amusements. This was fol-
lowed by a hundred yards dash which
was covered by J. W. Collins in 13!< sec-
onds. Finally a half mile run. with five
entries was arranged and won by T.
Mitchell with Pat Brady as close second.
The time made by Mitchell was 2:46. Lee
and Richmond next gave a heel and toe
exhibition walk which was covered by
Lee in 7:20. A half mile boys’ race for a
silver cup closed the evenings races. It
was won by a young fellow A. Shindie
the time being 3:10. A hammer throwing
contest followed the races and was won
by Chas. Norcross who threw the ham-
mer eight pounds 83 feet 3 inches.
Richmond during the afternoon an-
nounced that Lee was open to wrestle
catch-as-catch-can any man in the west.
REFUSED TO PUBLISH.
The Express Suppresses a State-
ment—The Ring’s False-
hood Exposed.
The San Antonio Express published a
statement that certain gentlemen had re-
fused the nominations made at Mission
Garden.
The following denial in substance was
offered the Express for publication and
20 cents a line guaranteed. It was not
published and on Saturday when the orig-
inal was demanded it could not be pro-
duced. Can the people have any faith in
statements coming from the Express?
COPY.
The report of the yesterday’s Express
stating that the various candidates had
refused to accept the Mission Garden nom-
inations. is false and a wilful lie and pro-
nounced as such by them.

THAT EIGHT HOUR PETITION.
(San Pedro.)
Several months ago the working people
of San Antonio petitioned the mayor and
his aiderman incapables for the adop-
tion of the eight hour system on city
work.
Notwithstanding that committees re-
presenting the labor organizations of the
city were present in the council and de-
sired to be heard still they were ignored
as if they were slaves while their peti-
tions received not the courtesy of a read-
ing in open council. The following ver-
ses occurred to the writer at the time
and were subsequently published in the
Light:
The eight-hour law is busted
By the aidermen that rusted
In the cause of those who trusted
In their chin.
And soon will agitators
Rub their corpulent equators
And with jaws like alligators
Take them in.
Though the mayor in the tustle
Moved not tongue nor facial muscle
Twas apparent he did rustle - .
Just before
For the rabbits foot disjointed
At the working men was pointed
And they bolted unannointed
Out the door.
Then his honor dropped the gavel.
On a clod of sample gravel
While his eyes did slyly travel
O’er the group.
That had voted as directed
And the toiler’s hand rejected
And stuck it as suspected
In the soup.
Thus these champions of labor
Seek’ng praise from power’s Faber
Turned tneir backs upon their neighbor
Working man;
But they’ll face him next election
With their hides full of affection
To reduce him to subjection
If they can.
Funeral Notice.
Miss Stevenson of St. Mary’s Hall en-
tered into rest this morning. The funeral
will take place at St. Mark’s church to-
morrow evening at 11 o’clock. Her form-
er pupils and near friends may call at the
house at 10 o’clock.
On the Wing.
Gen. Fritz Russi and Col. Thad Smith
of the King’s forces were nosing around
in the Eighth ward this morning.
Will Capt. C. L. Lowdy call a simonj
pure democratic meeting for his ward
Why did the city organ refuse to pub-
lish the firemen’s reply to Lockwood?
C. B. Mullaly will be the next aiderman
for the First ward.
The next mayor will be named at the
meeting Wednesday night.
When the people get a chance to look at
the books they may find out something
about the city business.
