II. Swearlngen, 0. 15. Watters, J. F. Onion

ed wich as several San Antonlons had plan
ned to make the few hours he is going to
spend here busy ones. While in t)ie City

Antonians who will naturally come forward
to congratulate him upon nia magnificent
victory".
Indications are at least half a hundred
Bexar Countians will go to El Paso to par
ticlpate in the convention.
