the privilege of using T rail on Hous-

THE Times commenting upon the
Saturday convention, says:
"The influence of the office-holders
who were afraid or ashamed to run
under radical colors, dominated the
body and it adjourned without taking
further action than that looking to
the formation of another mengrel
ticket"
The Times has sized the situation
very accurately in the above, and the
LIGHT has no grounds of defense
against the accusation, humilating as
it may be. The Harrison club, how
ever, will be found doing business at
the old stand.

wLLErr RAISES HIS VOICE.

WILLETT RAISES HIS NOiSE'
The Galveston News of September
18th contains communication signed,
John Willett, and attempting to re-
fleet upon this journal for its report OF
the John Hancock break at Denver.
1t was in perfect keeping with Mr..
Willett's course at Denver that ne
should attack Arkansas Pass through
the columns of the Galveston News,
for at Denver Mr.. Willett boosted that
he had given Arkansas Pass black
eve: that he did not care for Galveston
as he was certain they would never
get deep water there, but that ne
knew deep water could be easily Sc
cured at Arkansas Pass, and that deep
water there would kill his own
scheme. Is it at all strange that this
man should now appear as the advo-
cate of the accredited attorney OF the
Galveston Wharf company, who made
such a disgraceful and unwarranted
attack upon the personal character
and motives of those who advocated
the opening of Arkansas Pass; an at
tack which called down npon his grey
head the most unqualified condemna-
ton of the chairman of that conven-
ton? The LIGHT is sustained in its
views of that controversy and in the
structures made upon John Hancock,
by every member of the San Antonio
delegation to whom the matter
has been referred. Mr.. Willett
does we'll to vent his spleen
at the LIGHT. 1t is not so
very long since this same Mr.. Willett
approached this Office with column
screed, similar to his recent article in
the News, which this journal refused
to accept save as an advertisement,
and for which refusal VIM. Willett
naturally entertains no special good
will to the LIGHT.
VIM. Willett is simply a man with
an axe to grind, and is getting all the
free turning for his grindstOne that he
can. 1t is because the opening of
Arkansas Pass will forever stop the
turning of his crank that Mr.. Willstt
attempts, so foolishly, to prejudice
the ignorant against that port. The
objections which in his News letter
Mr.. Willett puts into the mouth of
Judge Hancock were never uttered by
that person; contrarywise, Mr.. Han
cock, at Fort Worth, told the leading
men of the Arkansas Pass delegation
that had he understood the situation
as well before the statements made
there as he did afterward, he not only
would have made no attack upon
Arkansas Pass but would have advO-
Gated it's claims before the committee
of which he was member.
Mr.. Willett does well to publish
his assumed corrections two hundred
miles away from home, where they
will be accepted as gospel by those
parties in whose interest John Han
cock destroyed his personal standing
in southwest Texas, but they will not
be accepted in San Antonio where
the absolute fidelity to truth, of the
statements made in the LIGHT, is
unquestioned.
AS to any defense of Arkansas Pass,
it is not needed here. The govern
ment surveys scattered all over this
country are ample refuta ton of every
damaging statement made by Mr..
Willett in his Galveston letter.
Those statements are entitled to no
more credence than the eXparte state
ments Of a police court lawyer IN the
attempt to make out a case against
the personal enemy of his client.
