The Bexar county Democratic conven-
tion met yesterday and placed ticket
in the field, which In the main had been
decided upon by the ring weeks age, and
one that would have been forced upon
the convention, had 1t been found neces-
sary. But they managed il well, and
throughout the entire convention no
complications or unlocked for difficult
ties were met, and they put it through
easily and promptly. Some of the men
named are individually strong and will
be elected, because they are good men,
but there are others who will be beaten,
not 80 much at the hands of the people,
as at the hands Of these ringsters, who
manipulated the convention. 1t is a
good ticket Of the kind, and under the
circumstances and the make up of the
convention is what was expected.
1t Is of such n questionable kind that the
Express, whose virtue is Of the purest
sometimes, says: at would not insult
its friends and patrons by an endorse
ment Of the ticket as whole in the full
knowledge that by doing so it would be
advocating the placing In jeopardy Of
the best interests of the county" This,
Of course, is little truthful virtuous in
dignation on the part of the Express
that 1t will soon get over, but the truth
will remain all the same. An INDIE

ties can be elected In Bexar county now,
