Big Failures.
Grant and Ward Go up for Ten
Millions ONLY.


The sensation of last week was
the failure of the brokers firm of
Grant & Ward in New York, in
which General Grant was part
ner. 1t is estimated that the firm
is ten millions of dollars short, the
failure being laid to the rascality
of young Ward. General Grant
with his son will lose all they have
except that the fund of $250000
raised by. friends some time since,
IL secure in Mrs. Grants name.
The firms failure caused the sus-
pension, also of the Marine Ma
tional Bank.
Young Ward was sporting
lark who kept "a fast horses with
fancy dogs ad infnitum.

there is an organized movement looking

Blaine as at present the most formidable
candidate, hope TO concentrate all the
opposition in support of their candi-
dates. They have an understanding
already with Logan As soon as he is
satisfied that he cannot get the nomina-
tlon he will turn his strength over to
Grant. One of the features Of the Grant

The Providence Journal says of the
Republican National convention that
"there is not the slightest possibility of
its so installing the principles Of the
party us to misinterpret or misrepresenI
them. The only danger, II danger there
is, is in the matter of nominations.
The journal further says the conven-
tons should eliminate "from oonsdera-
tion every man whose nomination would
cause inspection of his past record as to
honesty and public honor" adding that
" II is for the convention to say who shall
be nominated; it is for every Republican
to declare that no man should be noml-
mated who is not above suspicion"

SrriKING Of the future OF the Indian
Territory, the Brennan Banner says;
"There II now some six or seven bills

of the bills viii pass at the present ses-
sion. Each company proposes to liberal
ly compensate the Indians for the right
OF way, but still the tribes are distrust-
full. Ii is useless for Indians to object;
they had better make the best terms they
can and prepare to accept the situation.
The day is not far distant when the
beautiful Indian Territory will be n
complete network Of railroads"

Mr.. ID. +. HAYS, editor of the Mason
News was in this city few days ago,
and the following is what he says of his
visit: "San Antonio may justly be
termed the Queen city of the West.
There one sees the evidence of wealth
coupled with vim and enterprise.
Everything is push and go-aheaditive-
ness-no idlers. The vigilant eyes Of
the detectives take care of the dead
head class. One would naturally ask
the cause of such wonderful improve
ment as is manifest there. First, her
geographical position which naturally
gives her pre-eminence. Secondly, the
enterprise and liberality of the citizens.
Thirdly, the influence of the press. The
four principal papers, the Express, the
Times, the LIGHT and the Stoc kman, are
calculated to do honor and give prestige
to any city, and we are under everlast-
ing obligations to the editors and en-
ployees of those magnificent papers for
courtesies extended during our late visit
to the city. We Investigated the city
thoroughly during our stay, and are
satisfied that man can see more in less
time in the Alamo city than in any town
in the State. After spending three
sleepless nights in the busy city we babe
adieu to friends, scenes and charms and
purchased ticket for the capital city,
at'which place we arrived at ~ m. on
Thursday"

"TnE nominee of the Republican party
of the Chicago convention, whoever he
may be, will be elected President" says
the Washington Republican. ''This as
suranoe comes from some of the leaders

that unless certain things be done by
that party in Congress before the meet
ing of the Democratic convention their
party viii be defeated. These certain
things have not been done, nor will they
be. Democratic performance at Wash
ington is what the people will weigh
and consider, and not Democratic prom

it ever did exist, when the intelligent
people of this nation could feel any con-
fldence in party of promises. During
