The Mass Meeting of the Republicans
of Bexar county, held last night at Kar-
ber's Garden, was very interesting, har-
monious, and successful. The grounds
were covered, (and would have been
shaded, had it been day-time,) with beau-
tiful trees, and well provided with seats.
The whole place was well lighted with
torches. The stage was well fitted for
such an occasion. And the audience was
quite large, considering the darkness and
mud, fully half of it being made of Demo-
crats.
The meeting having been called to order
by the chairman, A. Dittmar Esq., the
Secretary, H. McCormack Esq., read the
minutes of the preceding meeting on Sat-
urday night last The committee to select
delegates to the Congressional Convention
which meets to-morrow, was then called
on to report. Geo. W. Brackenridge Esq..
chairman of the Committee, in handing in
the report, said that they had selected
more names than were ordered by the
Convention, because they want the help
of several prominent gentlemen not in-
cluded in the regular list. He also said
that in some cases tbey bad chosen men
who were not considered strict party Re-
publicans, because it was desirable to
make this a movement in behalf of the
interests of Western Texas, and to include
all the friends of that movement.
After some discussion, in which Mr.
Huston and Mr. McCormack objected to
the selection of any names but those of
Undoubted Republicans, aud Col. Gillespie
and Ml'. Biggar defended the course of the
committee, the report was harmoniously
adopted.
Mr. Siemering then called upon Hon.
Edward Degner to inform the meeting
whether or not he would be a candidate
before the Convention for the nomination.
Mr. Degner then took the stand, and in
an able, eloquent, and thoroughly digested
speech, of over au hour, declared himself a
oandidate, with certain conditions. The
speech of Mr. Degner was statesmanlike,
liberal, and conciliatory, and gave great
satisfaction to a'l parties; so much so that
availability is the only question npon
which the acceptance of his candidacy by
the Convention will turn.
Mr. Sharman, correspondent of the
Houston Telegraph, but whom Gov. Ooke
insisted on having dismissed, because he
was too frank and independent in his
correspondence, and not a sufficiently
fawning spaniel around the feet of execu-
tive'pride and arrogance, was then oal'ed,
and spoke at some length. His expose of
•the effort of Coke to control the freedom
-and independence of the press and indi-
vidual conviction, was scathing, and will
aid the "indorsement" of Coke.
Col. Gillespie was then called out, but
said that owing to the lateness of the
hoar, and news of the illness of some of
his family in Houston, he would not make
a speech. He congratulated the meeting,
however, npon its harmony, and his old
friend, Mr. Degner, npon the liberality of
his principles and sentiments. Not a bit-
ter word had been said, and the feelings of
no Democrat had been hurt. He would
not deliver a discourse, but felt like pro-
nouncing the benediction.
The meeting then adjoined.

The Stomach nx nu Avenger.
For every breach of the laws of health
that we commit the stomach iuflicts a
penalty. Headache, bsliousuess, nervous
tremors, constipation, colic heartburn,
nausea, debility and mental depression are
only a few of the punishments which an
outraged stomach is capable of imposing
upon us. To bring back this vengeful
organ to Jts normal condition—to placate,
invigorate and regulate it—thero is noth-
ing in the wide world so potent as a course
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Under
the operation of this beneficent vegetable
corrective and tonic, the ga»tric juice be-
comes a pure and healthful solvent and
resumes its natural flow. The effect is the
same on the biliary secretion, and in fact
on all the fluids of the body, and the final
result is the removal of every painful or
unpleasant symptom occasioned by the
rebellious action of the digestive organ.
A Prize Offered.
I will give ten tickets in the Texas Grand
Prize Concert to take place at Houston,
October 22, 1874, for the best written
letter on the Advantages of Texas, to be
awarded by a committee of three promi-
nent citizens of Houston. No manuscript
will be returned to writers, but all well
written letters will be published in the
principal papers of the United States and
Europe, with whom I am now negotiating
for their publication.
