MONDAY FEBRUARY 3 ’96
; To take up the democratic com-
plaints against republican methods
in the southern states is like the
railing accusation of Lucifier
against the angel Gabriel but this
does not dispose of the facts upon
whicb righteous condemnation of
republican bribery and corruption
are founded. The dealings of re-
publicans with one another should
be above suspicion like Caesar's
wife but they are not.
Two weeks more and prophecy
will have become history and Dan
Stuart will not have to seal his
mug to prevent giving his snap
away. It is true that the United
States authorities and the authori-
ties of Texas are not officially con-
cerned with the fistic tourney but
all the fuss and feathers of its dis-
cussion are paraded in the Ameri-
can press ad nauseum. How long
good devil how long ?
Fusion of every breed and brand
is talked in all the states of the
Union whore the populists have a
hold but Texas is the only state in
which they seriously threaten the
foundations of the state democratic
temple. With republicans and
populists in Texas pulling together
the democrats would have to pull
out. It would not be for present
but for future victory that the re-
publicans would fuse.
Southwest Texas has not had
such a soaking as this present in
several years. The rains reverse
that sent in answer to the old
dame’s prayer who wanted it to
rain nights and Sundays so that
hard-working people can rest.
Moonlight nights of extreme bril-
liancy followed by heavy rains in
the early morning hour are what
discumfuddle the stranger within
our gates and some of the citizens
too.
Spain is satisfied to write down
those congressional resolutions of
the body at Washington as simply
a cargo of general sympathy for
which the members as individuals
and not the country are responsible.
If Spain will only act as a civilized
nation that is all Uncle Sam asks
just now.
The democrats of the more re-
spectable sort are as sore as Sulli-
van was when he walked ofl his
flying train at the exhibition
made of himself by Senator Till-
man in the United States senate.
If Tillman had hailed from a north-
ern state he would have been
classed as a republican as it is he
is out of that possibility. He can
give Pfeffer points on damphool-
iem every day in the year.
The old reconstruction bitterness
in Louisiana crops out In the con-
test for the control of the republi-
can delegation from that state to
the national convention. The
sugar planters are bitterly op-
posed to Kellogg and his methods
in the past have not been such as
to inspire republicans with confi-
dence. What Louisiana and Tex-
as both need is a good political
emetic. Could the republican party
of both these states be relieved of
the heavy load of seedy politicians
that they have carried for a third
of a century the reputable republi-
cans those who are republicans
for principle would have a chance
to show to what extent true re-
publicanism has grown. As it is
the respectable elements of the
party in these states are fatally
handicapped and it is by the hard-
est that they gain ther own con-
sent to keep up the fight. There is
nothing but devotion to principle
and the necessity of continuing
the fight that determines their
course. They are holding on hop-
ing for better things and deserve
every credit.
There is no developement to the
situation in Kentucky nor will
there be until Hunter is willing to
sacrifice his personal claims to the
success of the republican party.
He would make himself the ever-
lasting creditor of the Kentucky
republicans if he would adopt this
course and retire from the con-
test upon the pledge of sufficient
members of the legislature to elect
some other republican.
Blackburn’s managers and train-
ers think that they will yet bring
him under the wire a winner. It
is not inprobable if Hunter holds
his stable and does not allow one
of his companions to make the
race. He has done splendidly as a
pace maker but he cannot cross the
wire a winner.
Foster has been mighty silent
as to any rain prospects in this
section. Old Probs could not be-
lieve that rain was actually {com-
ing until three days after it reg-
istered. Habit is a wonderful
thing.
The selection of Austin as the
place for holding the next republi-
can state convention suggests that
it is in order for some rules to be
adopted at the opening of that
convention that will insure a
more creditably conducted as-
sembly than the last one that
was held in that city. Conven-
tions like that are entirely too
much upon the democratic order
to be at all agreeable to those who
desire to see the republican party
in the state commend itself to the
best following of the people.
Chairman Dudley thinks that
he would rather represent his dis-
trict in congress than run the
democratic party in Texas. He
announces his Intention to hold
down Dave Culberson’s present
seat.
Southwest Texas is in the swim
and rejoicing that it is so but she
is not hankering after such a down-
pour as visited North Queensland
lately when twenty-six inches of
water fell in a short hour. The
weather dispenser here is off at
times but never so badly as that.
It is evident that Turkey is not
sulking because English John will
not buy her a new bow wow.
The only thing that is at all i
midwinterish about San Antonio 1
just now is her fair.
The weather bulletins as pub-:
lished in the daily press of the
past week have been a perfect re- j
versal of the facts. Seldom has
the clerk of the atmosphere been
so badly kerflummixed.
The lowa body snatchers are hav.
ing a hard time of it with the out-
raged citizens. In timo cremation
will come into general use and
body snatching will come to a per-
petual end. The world do more.
The republicans of Texas are
wise in putting off the considera-
tion of state matters until the
delegations to the national con-
vention are selected. It is not
wise to mix pie and pickles.
| Southwest Texas owes a deep
debt of gratitude to the Midwinter
1 fair for the rains of the past week.
COMIC INVITATION.
Indications of a Jolly Time in Store at
Beethoven Hall.
Great preparations are being
made for the carnival ball of the
Beethoven Mtennerchor on Satur-
day February 15. It will excel
anything ever attempted by this
society and will be the great event
in German-American society of
the season.
The following announcement in
verse has been sent to every mem-
ber and will be read on the even-
ing of the ball. Mr. H. Breusing is
itsauthor:
Hear ye the royal proclamation.
To al) the hosts within this station.
At Mardtgras reception night!
Ho all ye swains and maidens fair
Come royal hosts and sprites of air.
To meet the king and queen of night
Hobgoblins elfins dudes and donkeys
Will bring along their favorite monkeys
In one great joyous throng tonight.
Fair maidens here will play the “deuce"
Though she may be “queen of hearts”
And “jack of diamonds” ask a truce
’Gainst deeply penetrating darts.
Now if you do not have the cash
For mask and suit to make “a mash"
Your “Uncle” will provide it.
Yes a single dollar is all the cost
The mem’ry of the fun will never be lost
And you will never rue it.
This will therefore inform you all
Proceed to our Beethoven hall
Our general headquarters.
Record your names in flourish bold
Come to our feast in glittering gold
With all your sons and daughters.
And hark ye this Is “leap year” too
Old maid and miss whate’er ye do
Make choice from rich old sinners.
True love rules court and camp and
grove
But money rules without much love
It rewards the lucky winners!
Do therefore take a fool’s advice
One charming night will soothe life’s
strife
With a little Mephistc and “Indians.”
bold
And a fairy queen will take such hold
On hearts and hands forever.

About the Chairmanship.
To the Daily Light:
In the Express yesterday morn-
ing Dr. Clifford is credited with
saying that “there was no question
as to the authority of Mr. Ogden
to call the congressional conven-
tion as he was the legally selected
chairman of the congressional
convention.”
If Dr. C. has been correctly
quoted he has gone outside the
record for no such chairman has
ever been thus “selected.”
The facts are that a congression-
al executive committee consisting
of Degner Paschal Newcomb
Starnes Terrell and Ogden of
Bexar and Brodbent Bundy
Tweedy Cooley Robinson Lane
Standart and Pienerfrom the out-
side counties was appointed by
the district convention of August
1894 and that the members of
that committee from Bexar coun-
ty were made a special campaign
committee to further the interests
of Judge Noonan’s candidacy.
This latter committee regularly
organized by electing Mr. Ogden
and employing Mr. Sulzbacher as
secretary to attend to the details
of the canvass. If any pretended
organization of the regular com-
mittee has ever taken place it has
been the work of a faction without
notice to other members and
I therefore null and void.
There would probably be little
opposition to Judge Ogden as
chairman if brought about in a
legitimate manner but sleight of
hand tactics in modern politics
are productive of no end of com-
plications and trouble and should
be studiously avoided.

At the Vic.
The Vic theatre as usual has
some fine attractions this week.
Several new stars are on the bills.
Warren Bunker the female im-
personator is still appearing in his
sensational dances which have
made him so popular with the
visitors of this resort for the past
few weeks. Last night’s perform-
ance was greeted with a crowded
house.
WHAT A PROMINENT INSURANCE
MAN SAYS.
H. M. Blossom senior member
of H. M. Blossom & Co. 217 N. 3d
St. St. Louis writes: I had been
left with a very disasterous cough
the result of influenza which noth-
ing seemed to relieve until I took
Ballard’s Horehound Syrup. One
bottle completely cured me. I sent
one bottle to my sister who had a
severe cough and she experienced
immediate relief. I always recom-
mend this syrup to my friends.
John Cranston 908 Hampshire
street Quincy Ills. writes: I have
found Ballard’s Horehound Syrup
superior to any other cough medi-
cine I have ever known. It never
disappoints. Price 50c.
