JOHN ]. STEVENS
Should Be Elected County Clerk-Rea-
sons Why Republicans Should
Vote For Him.

The LIGHT has not been particularly ticket
struck during the present county campaign,
but it does take special pleasure in recon-
mending John j. stevens for the Oi"ce OF
county clerk of BeXaT county Mr.. Stevensis
a republican of the unquestloned kind, and is
therefore endorsed by the LIGHT as on that
account entitled to its support. He is the man
whom the LIGHT mentioned rs a suitable can
didate for the office some weeks since and is
thereby entitled to the support Of the journal
which suggested him. For these, and other
reasons, the LIGHT cordially, heartily, and
earnestly calls upon the people of BeXar coun-
ty in general. and republicans in particular,
to consider well his claims before voting for
his opponent, in whose family the office of
county clerk seems to have become hereditary.
Mr. Stevens is a young man about thlrty-hve
years of age; born, raised and educated in
San Antonio. He entered the office to which
he now aspires as chief, and for which he asks
the support of the citizens of this county,
when he was young lad only 10 years of age,
and during two successive terms was clerk.
He has thorough knowledge of the routine
of the office; has filled many important trusts
in all of which has approved himself faith
fnl guardian of the interests committed to
him. He has no superior in this county as
clerk. He has served the state as clerk in the
state department.; he has served the United
States as cash clerk in the quartermaster's Of

three years; was clerk in Col. II. Ii. Andrews
Office eight years. and can do more TO
stTaighten out the kinks in the county clerks
office and give the people IA clear idea of how
matters stand there than any other man in
BeXar county. In all the essentials of qualiti-
cations experience, thorough knowledge of
the county, true republication, and personal
popularity he COmmends himself to every man
in.the county who would desire change In
the office of county clerk. Give him your

col. JOHN WITHERS.
The Man who Should be the Next
Treasurer of Bexar County.

The Man who Should be the Next
Treasurer of Bexar County.
The LIGHT desires 10 bring prominently
into notice the name of Col. Jno. Withers as its
candidate for Treasurer of the county. The
supreme fitness of the nomination no one will
question in BeNar county. Mr.. Withers has
PROBABLY filed more offices of financial trust
than any other man in the county, and the per
feet safety of the county funds in his custody
is assured As. Col. Withers makes no canvass
for this Office was nominated unanimously
without any motion of his own in convention
in which he was not even presentthc LIGHT de-
sires to say concerning his candidaCy-that II
should receive the support of every repubN.
can who desires to rebuke the inlquttous
methods by which primary elections were
manipulated in the interest of as rival. As TO
Col Withers' personal record, his thirty years
residence in san Antonio have made him as
well acquainted with the business men of the
city and the principal farmers and stock
raiscrs of the county, that no introduction OF
himself to them is necessary.
To those who do not thus know him, we may
say in brief: That Colonel Withcrs is a West
Point graduate of the class of lSiH; was an OH
Ger in the United states army for twelve years,
during which time he rose from second lieu
tenant to captain After being ordered to this
city in 1856 he served as CHI Of of STAFF for Gen.
erals Albert Twiggs, Sydney Johnson and
Robert T.. Lee. He was married IN this city in
1859 TO Miss Anita Dryer, sister Of the late
Hon. Joseph +. Dwyer He was ordered from
this city TO Washington in 1861, where he
shortly aftcrward resigned the service and
casting his lot with the contederacy was
chief executive officer of the adjutant generals
Office at Richmond until 1850. Since the close
of the war he has been in business in this city.
In 1871 he entered the national bank, of which
he is now cashier, rs assistant cashier and
during these fifteen years has become well
known as a sound tinancier.
He represents in tins election the principle
of straight party nominations rs opposed to
corrupt and irresponsible combinations oil
men to secure nominations and elections out
side of regular and approved methods. For
this reason, rs also for his pre'eminent fitness,
the LIGHT cordially endorses his claims, not
withstandng he is n democrat of the demo-
Gratis, and urges every straight party man In
BeXar county to support him AT the polls. In
John Withers the taX-pal ers of BeXar county
and the voters to the last man will find treas

CAPTAIN JOE SHELLY
The Best Man for Sheriff That Can Be Put
Before the Voters of Bexar County.

Before the Voters of Bexar County.
There being no republican convention to
father ticket for the LIGHT Office this county
campaign, the LIGHT is thrown upon its own
individual judgment in determining what can
didntes to support at the polls. There are only
two requisites. First, pre-eminent fitness for
Office; second, opposition to the present fusion
movement. Captain Joe Shelly fills the bill in
both essentials and is the LIGHTS candidate
for. sheriff for BeXar county The
ted States district attorney of this
dist riCt has had much to do in determining
tn choice: and that opinion was: Mr.. Shelly
will make the best sheriff in the state of
Texas" MIR. Shelly is a young man of only 20
years of age, but he has record as peace
officer on the frontier, and in Bexar county,
that has never been surpassed by anyone for
the same years of service. He is native
Texan, born in Calhoun county and raised in
this city. In 1873 Mr.. Shelly was special deputy
sheriff under Gen. Knox. and was assigned TO
duty IN the interest of the Stock Protective as
sOCatiOn of Bexar county. He then served
three years as deputy sheriff under McCall,di
tinguishing himself in both situations rs Il
brave, reliable, prudent and thoroughly trust
worthy officer. He then entered the government
service, and under the instruction of
Co Onel Amos p. Foster, postOttice inspector,
broke up the gang of stage and mail robbers.
which infested the district, capturing IL of
them and receiving $500 reward therefor.
He was aftcrward appointed mounted inspec-
tor OF customs ut Corpus Christi and while in
that service refused a bride of 5000 to permit
the ahsCOnding treasurer OF tennessee 10
cross the frontier into Mexico. He was special
dcput, under the late lamentCd United states
Marshal Costing and was his warm, personal
friend In 1883 he was appointed TO com
maud Company F, of the frontier battalion
raugersl and served two years, when he en-
tered into business as II stock man in this
cit. He is II man OF family, his wife being
the daughter of Mr.. Dave Hunter, one of the
pri1cIpa stOckmen of Dewitt county. Mr..
Sh ly brings TO the Office, " which he is IA
car didatc, every qualihcation-courage,p per
scN GRANGE, experience, great knowledge of
tho habits of desperate criminals wonderful
nerve, and unQuestiOned integrity. His rela-
tons al home and abroad are such com
mend him to the confidence of the voters of
the county. No better selection could be
made and if chosen sheriff of the county, as
we Chnk he will be, will make the office re-
spCctcd as well as feared. Every straight re-
publican, every working man, and every man
who desires TO see the best man get there, will
vote for Shelly.
