The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1883-12-05

General Ward want to boss their party.
THE LIGHT was in error, and while the tel
egraph reported all the Texas delegation as
voting for Carlisle, Representative Ochiltree
cast his vote for Mr.. Wadsworth, of New
York.
PARTIES as well as republics are ungr ateiul.
The Ohio Democrats have thrown John G.
Thompson overheard, and he can now repeat
the speech Of Cardinal Woolsey, from the
bottom Of his heart No patriotic man Of
any party will shed a tear over his being
dropped.
IT IS now given out that the moment Con-
gTess shall be organized for business, General
Rosecrans will aim death blow at Mormon
ism. We hope it will not be blank cartridge
which he puts in his gun, and that it will not
snap. Mormonsm is blot which should be
wiped off.
The touchingness and the spiteiulness
shown by the Galveston papers whenever an
interier paper fails to gush over their city does
not do Galveston particle Of good, and rem
ders the papers themselves ridiculous. Mar
row minded newspapers always damage a
town, or city, and provoke opposition.
JAY GOULD is to build an $4,000 tomb.
That sum Of money would gladden. the hearts
and satisfy the hunger Of several thousand
poor people, and their grateful benedctions
would be his best monument. No doubt,
Dives also had a costly monument, but it did
not amount to much when the pinch came.
WHEN man hangs out big sign, by his
conduct, that he is working day and night Tor
an office, and counting the people by all sorts
of arts and articles, the people should spurn
his solicitations and elect man Of an oppo-
site turn. Let us try the plan of letting the
Office seek the man, and we will gain largely
in public men, especially in Congressman and
Legislators.
IT is very probable that the Carlisle men in
the House will manage to dodge the tariff
question, so as to reassure the business men
Of the country. If they do so there was
neither sense nor patriotism in beating Ran
dali, and they will be as ridiculous as ever
public men were in any age OF country.

THE course Of the Bourbon press towards
the two recent converts-the Galveston News
and the Houston Post, well illustrates the in
grained faulty of Bourbonism. Instead Of
receiving them with hearty welcome and
setting them to do journeymen's work, the
Bourbons seem determined to shut the dool
in their faces. The News and the Post are
equally resolved not to be kicked out Tn,
tight is quite amusing to spectator who doe,
not care a cent about the result.
