CULBERsoN is credited with a greenback
knows his constituents and fears wholesale
break into the camp of Wash Jones.
TIE Corpus Christi star route has been
reached at last 1t will furnish some rich de-
velopments before it is through with. The
San Antonio Express is silent about it.
THE president sent magnificent basket OF
flowers to Senator Anthony in compliment of
his recent reelection to the United States
senate. Old Anthony blushed when the
this Cleopatrician gift was handed him.
WHAT has caused the President to entertain
an enmity against the people of San Antonio?
: 5. A. Express.
No doubt he has seen the Express and its
friend Manning, and thinks the town needs
reformation.
WEAVER has laid out hot camDgn begin
ming at Mineola on Tuesday, the 10th, and
ending at Mckinney on the 9th of July, max
ing sixteen speeches. 1t will take less aver
dupois and more brains than the Dick Hub
bard variety of democrats possess to meet
the old Union veteran.
BUT in the name of common sense it is to
be hoped Mr.. Hutchinson has some other
qualifications for congressional office than the
mere fact of having served honorably i'll the
confederate army Waco Examiner.
Yes, it won't do to put up one confederate
record against another in the coming contest.
1t would finish the democracy.
So FAR every democratic candidate for con-
gress in every district, except the 10th, is
urged because he is unfriendly to protective
tariff. Can the 10th stand the pressure, with
a state ticket, and a state platform inimical to
protection staring its regular candidate in the
face?
We ALWAYS enjoy reading the San Antonio
EVENING LIGHT. 1t is well edited speaks in
plain terms and boldly upon every subject it
discusses, and, though republican in its poll
tics, it is fair and just. Success to the LIGHT
Wedrink standing Il The Independent Blade.
The above handsome compliment is fully
appreciated.
THE tariff commission, lately appointed by
three democrats, but all Of them are protec-
zionist, so it will be seen that nothing good
need be expected Of them Star indicator.
No doubt the wool-growers of Banco are
not much put out by the prospect, even if the
democratic 5. V. is.
THE editor Of the Star Indicator, of Blanco
prints some interesting reminsces Of I.
Mackey, with whom he teamed together. Mr.
Mackey is in Washington, in congress- and
his old confederate comrede of the S.-V. is
pegging away to get the democrats in power
Mackey has the best Of the argument, SO far.
JUDGE IRELAND antagonizes the old alcaIde
at several important points, and the Calves
ton News tries to make it appear that the old
alcalde must respond or 60 down to history
condemned. Judge IreIand's nomination
would be vote of condemnation against the
o.. a. The News and Express are inimical to
Judge |.
THE democratic wool-growers of Texas had
better nbble lightly at the bait the republic
cans are throwing out at them. BY no means
should they swallow it star indicator.
No, these democratic woo-growers should
60 right along, take the democratic hook, and
let their locks go to the domination bowwows
Democratic wool-growers should be patriotic
enough 10 give up their sheep entirely for the
patriotic purpose of eecting a l1t democratic
politicians to Office.
If TIE contemplated Ferry postal card with
the flexible flap is the inAexibe design OF
government, we trust it is not to comprehend
its whole postal reform. We have thought
the most judicious Improvement to be in re-
ducing the cost of postal money ORDERS while
it seems widely considered that the best first
advance will be to reduce the 3 cent letter to 2
cents. Those who keep secrets on their hands
or are, for any cause, averse to supplying light
reading to the curious or idle, would douF +
less prefer the double cost Of postage to the
..hcxible flap" But the fact is the average
postal card is puzzle of such intricate unin-
telligibiity that the flexible iap' will not add
to its security.
