The Bastrop Advertiser does not
think that a democrat can be pro-
tectionist, for it says:
"Says the San Antonio LIGHT, All
democrats who believe protection to
be proper and beneficial should have
moral courage enough to vote accord
ing to dictates of their common sense
and Judgment We concur in all
this except the assumption that a
democrat can believe in protection"
Upon this understanding of the
question the democracy could not
carry six states of this union. The
protection sentiment is fairly in
grained into the consciousness of the
American people.

DIR. RUTHERFORD, State health
office has ordered rigid quarantine
against New Orleans. This quaran-
tine applies to railway travel as well
as steamer, and is caused by a well
defined rumor that yellow fever has
made it's appearance at New Orlean S,
and that several cases have been re-
ported. The orders for vigilance
upon the Texas coast has been passed
to all points and strict quarantine
will be enforced.

MONDAY. SEPTEMBER. II. 1888.

TARRANT COUNTY republicans see
the Bexar County convention and go
it one better, deciding by vote of 81
to II to put no county ticket in the
field. The colored vote of that coun-
ty will go with the straight out de-
mocracy. Dallas has the courage Of
its conventions, puts out straight re-
publican ticket and will stand a good
chance to win, as the democracy are
divided there as they are in this
county.

IFTHERE was one thing more than
another to which Gen. Harrison's letter
of acceptance made allusion, it was to
the republican national platform. His
whole letter is in fact running COM
mentary of exposition, explanation and
endorsement of its several planks, and
vet the Houston Post of last Saturday
says:
1.-THE national platform of the repub-
lican party has been so kicked and
battered out of shape that republican
conventions and speakers have but
little respect for it, which sentiment
seems to have created widespread de-
moralization in their ranks"
The Post is either not posted ON that
letter of acceptance, or it is mortally
afraid that its democratic readers will
be convinced by its exposition and so
hedges. One or the other.
THE Cotulla Times speaking of San
Antonio and her forthcoming fair
paws us this handsome compliment
for which the fair association, through
the LIGHT, returns thanks:
"The enterprise is worthy of San
Antonio and her cultivated progress
sive people, and constitutes an ostrich
feather in her already, handsome cap
of beautiful plumes. The gentlemen
comprising the association are full
guarantee of it's worth and financial
solidity.n
THE comment of the Express, of
this city, upon Saturdays abortion is
expressed as follows:
Esteemed republicans of BeXar
You have done nobly. After some
hours of sweat, blood, dust and howl
YOU are where you begun-or very
nearly that far along. AS the Express
it, the result of your
days wrestle with the circumambient
atmosphere may be summed up as
follows: You have appointed a COM
mittee with power to appoint a COM
mittee to confer with committee
appointed by committee of indie
pendents. In other words, putting
your trust in God and keeping your
powder dry, you have firmly declared
an intention to wait till the clouds
roll by. AS the conference of your
is dependent upon the
democrats calling convention, and
as the democratic convention depend
ed on your putting out a straight
ticket, it strikes the reflective OBJ
server that your proceedings yester-
day were pretty much in the nature
of "a id barren ideality." But all
the same, you did nobly."
If republicans in other parts of the
state and republicans in other states
will only follow suit, what glorious
victory will perch upon
the banners of the party next No
vember.

BEING relieved of all concern in
county politics, the republicans of the
city and county can turn their atten-
ton to an electoral ticket and see how
large a vote they can roll up for Har-
rison and Morton. The national re-
publican convention did not hold its
sessions in San Antonio, and did not
resolve that it would make no nOmi-
nations.

The craftsmanship of the Paris
News man etfervesces in the follow
ing comment upon Harrison's letter of
acceptance:
ave believe it is generally conced-
ed that the letter is a weak document
1t is a bid for the soldier and labor
vote and in direct opposition to tariff
reduction. 1t lacks that force and
vigor that characteriZes the letter of
Mr.. Cleveland, and shows that
General Harrison is not a statesman
in a strict sense of the term"
The opinion of the News is directly
contrary to that Of its democratic con-
temporaries, who generally regard
the letter of Mr.. Harrison as a very
strong and true presentation of the
campaign issues and one likely to
make votes for his candidacy. This
latter is after all the tOuchstOne OF
success in letter of acceptance, and
upon this point, his enemies being
Judges, Mr.. HarrisOn's letter is one
that meets the situation fully.

Christmas Festival.

The Sabbath school of the English
Lutheran church, organized last spring,
held its first Christmas festival last even
ing. The chapel had been tastefully
decorated by the Ladies' Aid society Of
the congregation. The Christmas trees
presented beautiful appearance; under
them presents were thickly strewn, and
between them large pile of many colored
aud shapely gsuze bags of candy and
nuts, whetted the sDpetites OF the chill
dren during an interesting programme,
consisting chiefly of appropriate recits-
tions and songs by the infant classes and
smaller chrla~on and savsn we'll rendered
recitations by young pupils. After a
brief address by the pastor on the means
ing of the festival, the trees, the ever.
green type of the ever living Saviour,
the light and the presents as referring to
him, the presents were distributed to
all the younger children, the candy and
mute to all pupils, apples to all visitor:
and all seemed as happy as possible till
the time for closing by devotional exer-
cises.
