An editorial in the New York Sun last
week read as follows: "We think Cleve-
land is beaten"
The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-09-22


To READ the generality OF Texas
papers, one would think the negro, as an
element in politics, was entirely super
fluous, and his vote Of no consequence,
but 1t will detract nothing from the stu
alton to mention the little incident
wherein an enterprlsing oolored gentle
man named Sublett approached the
numerous candidates in Cooke county on
the ground that he represented a large
oolored organization, and that they
wanted to build hall and then he would
modestly strike the candidate for a sub
scriptlon, and the promptness with
which the request was granted is said to
be something wonderful. Mr.. Sublett
accumulated about $40, and then 1t was
discovered that he was an lmpostor OF
the blacklist Kind, and this, by the way,
is no reflection on his color and his hall
and his organization existed only In his
Imagination, and the Sheriff collared
him and run him to the county jail, but
it is doubtful If the candidates will ever
get back the money. The moral, how
ever, is obvious.

iug us follows;
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Aug. 90. -
Gov, W. b. Bate, Nashville; The dis,
patches Indicate that you are oxerting
yourself to vindcalc the laws in the
matter of the murder of the Mormon
missionaries in Tennessee. thank you
for this action, The charges Of preach
ing polygomy will not excuse murder
and | trust that you may bring the gull
~ to punishment, thereby preventing
such lawlossncss in Tennessee and ehe
where. LaWlessncss, in Tennessee and
Utah alike, is re?rchensible, but the
murdered Mormon agents in Tennessee
were sent from here, us they have been
for years, by the representatives of or
gained crime. | submit that, rs Ten
nesscc's representatives in Congress are,
10 say the least, indifferent to the pun.
lshmcnt of offenders against The national
law IN Utah, it is a cowardly outrage in
their constituents to kill emigration
agents sent there from here.
ELI III. MURRAY.
The Home Journal is glad of The ac-
'tion of Gov. Bate, and we say so under
the belief that Mormonism is only
another name for adultery in the guisc
OF religion. 1t is sin that should be
condemned and punished by every one
who venerales the sacredncss of the
hearthstonc While we, individually,
would let any one depart in peace" who
could re concerted by such atrocious and
sensual appeals as would lead them to
embrace poIygimy, whether in the name
of religion or not, yet it may be that
many ignorant but honest women could
be led astray under the influence of such
and, for the sake OF general
good and happiness we hope some legal
means can be fallen upon TO rid our
country Of the curse. Nevertheless the
of the elders in Lewis county
had no right to shed blood unlawfully.
They have taken the law into their own
lands and should be prosecuted for
murder in the first degree, and If found
utility, let little mercy be extended \
