The Republicans of San Antonio are
in a very peculiar position as regards
the city election. With votes enough,
by united work, to carry two wards, and
almost straight ticket, they are left
the choice of making the best selection
from three candidates who are Demo-
Gratis. Captain Merritt Is the nominee
Of the Committee of One Hundred, but
no one will claim for moment that he
is in any manner tinctured with Repub-
licanism. John II. Copeland is the NOM
inee of a remnant of the Worklngmen's
convention, and Bryan Callaghan is the
nominee of the Democratic convention,
which was made up of more than 300
delegates. These facts show which of
these candidates is the choice of the
people, Mr.. Callaghan is young, Wig
orous, earnest man, whose political and
private record is clean, who is warm
friend of the laboring people, and whose
platform is that ofprogress and advance
ment, and the future building up of the
city. His past official life has been hon
est and upright, and out of the usual
run of things, his popularity grew from
the beginning, until now he is the most
popular man before the people. His
platform is good one and broad one
and 1t is based on the words of the fol.
lowing resolution:
"ResOlved, That the vital interest o.
the city imperatively require that the
policy of the incoming city administra.
ton be prudent and progressive one
and therefore we demand that Their,
shall be inaugurated and completed ,
thorough system of drainage for tn,

can possibly be done we are in favor O

system Of water works by purchase O
otherwise. That all the improveme N is
as far as practicable, shall be made b.

The future of the city will not be
ieopardized by the election of Bryan
Callaghan for Mayor. lie is native
San Antonian, and knows the needs and
appreciates the situation of the city as
regards public improvements, and their
relation to the mechanics and laborlng
men. Nothing can be said against his
Democracy or his honesty; and he did
not have to resort to the questionable
practice Of forming combination with
his political enemies in order to become
ii candidate. He is genuine, and he is
not Of the mossback order in the least,
because he comes from the people and is
OF the people.
