224 III
224 plus III, equals 4O1, the total
number of votes in the electoral COL
lege.
To obtain the foregoing result, Har-
rison and Morton will carry the old
Blaine states, 1S2) which all concede,
together with Indiana, Q5), New Jer-
sey (9) and Connecticut (6), that un-
doubleday will 90 republican this year,
making total of 212, or IL votes more
than is necessary to elect. Then, to
preserve the unities and prove that
Figures never lie," either Virginia
Q25 or Tennessee (12) will swing into
line making the full 224 votes that the
combination of letters and figures
predict.
The names of the republican can
didates are bound together by the
word "and" Numerical value 1877
which signifies that they will surely
obtain the Is votes which Mr.. Blaine
lacked to make his calling and cleo
ton sure. On the contrary, Cleveland
is loosely joined to Thur man by rope

weight.
The above method of demonstrate
ing the election of the republican
nominees is neither patented nor copy
righted.
Protection sentiment is rapidly de-
veloping in this county, three-fourths
of the voters being evidently in favor
of the American system.
A mountaineer, having little ap-
parent reverence for the old Romans
bandanna, remarked in my hearing
the other day, with more force than
elegance, "I'll be id if l follow a
party longer, that rallies and drills
under s-t-rag.
The Bandera Bugle displays the
names of Cleveland and Thurman at
the head of it's editorial column,
draped with border of mourning.

While approaching to the full the
righteousness of the above chart, the
LIGHT respectfully submits that "R"

THE Gonzales Enquirer, referring to
the statement made by the LIGHT
that the bandanna business would
ensure clean noses to the democracy,
remarks:
'They carry a clean shirt if they do

publicans out of their filth in order to
cleanse and purify the government"
And the more they root the more
they like it, and the.greater hogs they
become. Four years roofing has not
unearthed one grain Of republican
dirt, it has only sharpened the demo-
cratic snout, and "pinted it" as Nasty
would say "for postoffis."
THE Houston and Galveston papers
are awfully concerned at the horrible
manner in which Arkansas Pass was
slaughtered at Fort Worth. Has any
one heard the people of southwest
Texas complain? When Houston
and Galveston turn on their eye
sluices because southwest Texas gets
hurt in some deal, there are big croc-
odile tears saturating the sands of
both cities. When they complain Of
hard lines to southwest Texas, while
southwest Texas rejoices as bride
groom to run a race, then put it down
as cold conclusion. undiluted and
unpalatable, that the "Bar" and the
"Bayou" monkeyed with southwest
Texas to their own hurt. This Is all
there is to Houston's and Galveston's
mourning over Arkansas Pass. Aran-
sas Pass feels serene as q May morn
ing and its friends are happier than II
Galveston Island was washed away
with tidal wave. Selah!
