THE proportion of republican votes
in Bexar county to the votes cast by
the democracy in this county is GER
tainly greater than that of the repub-
ican vote of the state compared with
the democratic vote, and yet the re-
publican convention of last Saturday
pronounced unanimously in favor of a
state ticket and so instructed their
delegates, and then deliberately voted
seventy-two to twenty-one that they
would make no nominations for coun-
ty offices. This is the consistency of
republicanism in BeXar county as it
was represented in Saturdays con-
vention.

DAVID B. HILL,
NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR OF New
YORK.

Governor David B. Hill, renomina-
ted for the office he now holds by the
convention assembled at Buffalo,
became governor of New York state
the first time after the resignation of
Mr.. Cleveland, who had been elected
to the presidency. Mr.. Cleveland's
resignation took effect on January l.,
1885, when Northumberland Hill
became Governor Hill. Subsequently,
in January, 1886, Mr.. Hill assumed
the Office in virtue of his election to it
in the preceding November, when he
defeated Ira Davenport, the republi-
can candidate for the office.
David B. Hill was born at ham,
let in Chemung county, New York,
eighteen or twenty miles north of Ell
mira. He went to Elmira about
twenty-four years ago, as young
lawyer, and was welcomed by some
of the leading men of that city. His
fame as a politician had preceded
him. In his native place he had
worked at the polls as lad long be-
fore enjoying the right to vote. Mr..
Hill had been in Elmira only one day
when the county judge offered him
an equal partn ership with him. The
offer was accepted, and the connec-
ton thus formed lasted ten years.
Governor Hill is a bachelor. His
favorite amusements are the theatre
and CONCERT room, and his serious
pursuits law and politics, in both of
which he has attained more than
merely local eminence. His nomina-
ton is in spite of serious opposition
within the ranks of his own party.

Bars In Soldiers Homes,

The Grand Army Ners protect, Wig
orously against the lager beer bars in the
soldiers homes, arguing that the con-
slant presence OF these bars in the home
building is an irresistible temptation to
many who in consequence drink when
they otherwise would not. The existence
of these bars Is excused on the ground
that the men would drink at any rate,
and 1t is better that they should be ac-
commodated within the institution than
tall prey to the dive-keepers outside
but the Netos very forcibly replies that
this argument might be used to justify
the establishment of bar In the county
almshouse. 1t is also urged that the
money from the sale OF the beer is used
for furnishing reading matter and amuse.
ments for the men, and that when they
get tipsy, they are sent to the guard
house. Briefly, the old soldiers have
shown most deplorable tendency to get
drunk, and the easiest way to meet the
case has been chosen. They are encour-
aged to drink right in the home, where
they can be locked up without trouble,
though 1t would not be very difficult
matter for the management to exercise a
paternal restraint over these weak wards
Of the nation. But there is another fea-
ture Of this case worthy Of attention
the small measure of self-respect and dig
nifty that evidently prevails among the
veterans. At one OF these homes, We
are told, 25 to 80 barrels of beer are sold
each day, and it is evident that that
highly nutritious but seductive beverage
IL swamping the glory, pride and dignity
Of many boasted veteran. Let the old
soldiers and sailors brace up, and recol
lect that the main brace will not stant
continued splicing.
