JUDGE MCKEE and Jim Newcomb sit pa
tiently on the ragged edge, waiting for senator
ial action on their cases.-[Waco Examiner
To the patient man everything is possible
THERE was so much fourth of July at San
Antonio that it took two issues of the LIGHT
to give full account of it Brennan Ban
ner.
1t comes but once year and we made the
most of it.
JUDGE REAGAN has declined the democratic
nomination for governor of Texas Arkan-
sas True Democrat.
Why, bless your soul, he hasn't asked Ire
lands permission to be a candidate!
PRESIDENT ARTHUR is a regular reader Of
the Republican, He endorses it as good
live paper, and says it is worthy of the support
and patronage of all good republicans and
independent democrats Fort Worth Re-
publican.
We reprint the above item in order that it
may possibly catch the Presidents eye
through the medium of the LIGHT.
In speaking OF Viewers triumphant
march through Texas the Uvalde Hesperian
says:
Verify, if this is not case of "chickens
coming home to roost," then the Hesperian
forfeits its sombrero.
1t looks to us good deal like game chick
en- cleaning up coop full of dung hills.
We commend to our democratic friends Of
Galveston the tariff plank adopted by the
Vermont democrats, which is described as
admirably adapted to "cotch de coon comm
or a ewine" 1t favors "a tariff for revenue
with just determinations favoring the agricul-
tural, industrial and commercial interests OF
the whole country" This rivals the negro's
celebrated trap, we think.
THE county convention, yesterday, pursued
the line OF policy advised by the Statesman.
Austin Statesman.
If the Statesman really runs county con-
vention it is better off than most OF its demo
cratic cotemporaries.
A FRIEND of ours says that the manner and
matter of Gov. Roberts recent writings and
speeches remind him of VIM. Lloyd Garrison.
In fact, he says that the personal appearance OF
the governor on the platform is strikingly like
that of the great apostle of abolitionism when
he used to occupy similar position at anti
slavery gatherings Austin Citizen.
The idea of comparing the o. a. to Gar
rison
GOVERNOR HUBBARD announces that if
elected to congress he will resign his position
as attorney for the Texas and St. Louis rail-
road.
If Dick is elected to congress he will enter
wider sphere of action as a railroad attorney,
MANNING has got back from Washington
end resumes his position, meantime, and
Newcomb's star seems to be receding. If this
office was we'll managed the public might re-
joce at Manning's resumption, but as the Of
tceis one of the worse managed in Texas, his
return is to be egretted.-[ Bandera Bugle.
THE affairs of the postoffice at San Antonio
are to be investigated by special agent Of the
postal department before the office will be
given into the hands of Mr. Newcomb. Even
the obtaining of the Office of postmaster by
the faithful backed by the presidents ap-
pointment is attended with some delay and no
little anxiety to the candidate.-[Victoria Ad-
yocate.

leaving that to the other fellow.
IT seems that Newcomb has failed to get
the postmastership at San Antonio, whic
fact, if fact it is, is quite difficult to compre
bend, as Newcomh is the very manner of man
that Mr.. Arthur wants for all federal positions,
Judging from his previous appointments This
James P. Newcomb has done more low
down, dirty work for the stalwart republicans
than any other one man in Texas, not even
excepting the great Mogul-E. J. Davis
himself, and if the president refuses this ap-
pointment to Newcomb, thinking to get some
one else for the place who will dive to lower
DEPTHS in the pool Of real cussedness to serve
his administration he will find himself woe
fully mistaken. That mans not there.-Sar-
Vindicator.
To appreciate the full force of the above
commitment our readers would have to be &C.
ouainted with the Star-Vindicator and its red
Observation-Disclosures edi
tor. We return our thanks, all the same.
