POLITICAL NOTES.
How Both Sides are Working for
Victory at the Polls.

How Both Sides are Working for
Victory at the Polls.
There was considerable political ex-
element on Saturday night. and some
men were around the street drinking
and shouting "Viva French" "Viva
Callaghan.n The more they drank
the more they shouted and sometimes
they got considerably mixed up in
their "Vivas."
The Mexicans had two meetings.
At Insilman's saloon were the sup
porters of Callaghan, and the an
nOunced meeting drew about one hum
dred tawney Aztecs. The admins
tration was well repres, tied by its
chief officers and contractors. Alejo
Perez presided; the candidates made
considerable talk, which some couldn't
understand, the burden of which was
1--WE are good, they are bad" There
was some enthusiasm, and it was evil
dent that it was genuine Callaghan
meeting.
There was larger meeting at the
Hidalgo Club in support of French,
with President Modesto Torres in the
chair. There were addresses by the
president, Ed. Dwyer, Bart. Crow
theirs, Freeman and Rodriguez. After
other formal business it was arranged
that the club in a body attend the
ratification meeting of the Young
Mems Christian Association on Tues
day.
The Fourth Ward Reform Club met
at 4S0 Acequia street and endorsed
Alderman Kalteyer for alderman. 1T

To BE PRESIDENT HARRISoN'S SEC
RETARY OF STATE.

Mr.. Blaine will be secretary Of state
under the coming administration, and
Mr.. Wanamaker, postmaster-g general.
These are the only cabinet places fill
ed as yet.
James Gillespie Blaine was born on
January 81, 1880, at Indian Hill Farm,
Washington county, Pennsylvania.
After spending several years as pupil
i'm a school at Lancaster, Ohio, and at
the same time as an inmate of the
residence of his uncle, the Hon.
Thomas Ewing, secretary of the treas
ury, Blaine was Ell tered a student at
Washington college, Washington,
Pennsylvania, whence he was gradu-
ated in 1S47.
After his graduation Mr.. Blaine
taught for some years in the schools
of the neig hborhood. Then hs did
journalistic work, and was editor of
the Portland Advertiser, when, in
1858, he was elected to the Maine leg
is stature, of which he was member
four years. At the beginning of his
last term of two years, he was chosen
speaker. In 1862 he was sent to cor
gress. He was repeatedly reelected
from the same district, and in 1869
was made speaker of the house.
Mr.. Blaine entered upon his
duties as a senator of the United
STATES in 1877. He had voted
against the electoral commission
Bill on the ground that 1T was uncon-
stitutional. In 1880 he was, as in
1876, candidate for the presidential
nomination, which was given to his
friend Garfield, who, after his cleo
ton, called him to his cabinet as sec
retrry of state. Mr.. Blaine retired on
the accession of Mr.. Arthur to the
presidency, and employed himself in
writing his "Twenty Years of Con-
gress." In 1884 he was nominated
for the presidency and defeated by
Grover Cleveland. He declined to be
a candidate of the republican conven-
ton last year and assisted in the sue
cessful canvass made on behalf of
President-elect Harrison.

A European Offer.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February A.
The Record today says: Gan offer
has been made for the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius, by an European
government, and if the United States
government or contractors will not
take the vessel, William Cramp and
sons will dispose of her at a price far
in excess of the sum named, in the
contract entered into with the United
States government. The members of
the firm refuse to disclose the name of
the nation which made the offer, but
the Italian government is supposed
to be the one, in-as-much as Cramp is
now constructing pneumatic gun
boat for that country.

BUSINESS must be mighty dull in
Houston judging from the Ages pre-
ntation of matters. The reason why
Houston has no cases of collection
must be because there are no CONNER
cial transactions on paper, and if there
are none, business must be busted, or
Houston is unlike any other place in
Texas. Uncle Dan'l says:
dallas and San Antonio are both
asking for additional district courts.
Their dockets are badly over-crowdeC ,
and, when case is begun, even on o
promissory note, it takes long time to
reach it on the docket and get a judg-
ment. The best remedy, for that par
ticular trouble is for the people of Dali
las and San Antonio to pay their
notes when they are due and keep
them out of the courts. That is the
way Houston people do"
Hurrah for the Houston millennium.

Germany Politely Withdrawing.

LONDON, February 4.-The Stan
dard's Berlin correspondent says: In
spite of unmistakable affection with
Americans, nobody here fears there
is any danger of the Samoa affair lead
ing to war between the two nations.
Germany will in fact make friendly
proposals, which doubtless the gov
eminent at Washington will finally
accept. German officials in Samoa are
now represented and having exceeded
and misunderstood their Instructions,
but the last thing that semi-of1icial or
gans can be expected to confess, is the
palpable fact that in the presence of
strong feeling aroused in America,
Germany has found it polite to beat a
retreat.

Cleto Freeman's Speech.


To the Gentlemen of the Hidalgo Club:
1 have been a strong Callaghan
man, but since Mr.. Cardenas made
the remarks about Mr.. Torres, am a
French man, and will oppose every
man that is on the ticket that Mr..
Cardenas represents, and in the name
of God 1 beg all my friends to do the
same, as Mr. Cardenas has no right to
say Anything in regard to the charac-
ter of Mr.. Torres. 1 know Mr.. Carde-
mas for many years and believed him
to be a gentleman. 1 also know Mr..
Torres. for many years and L know
him to be gentleman. When | first
knew Mr.. Cardenas, 1 knew him as
Juan Cardenas, ell jugador, and mere
lately knew him as Capt. Cardenas,
but it is the same Juan Cardenas that
1 knew all the time. Mr.. Torres, L
have known all my life, and never
knew him to be anything else but an
upright, honest and Woodworking
man; and every time he has a chance
to help the poor Mexican, ne is more
than willing to do it, as he has done
heretofore. Therefore, 1 beg all my
friends to go against Mr.. Callaghan
and all those represented by Juan
Cardenas and his clique.

Make an Example.

A gang of MeXicans full of whisky
and enthusiasm, jumped on one poor
negro west of the San Pedro creek
Saturday night, and because he yelled
laghan, they nearly beat him to
death, and yet they could not make
him yell for Callaghan. The whole
gang should have been arrested, but
they were not. The Young Mems Re-
form club should investigate some of
these cases of bull-dOzing and make
an example.

His Shortcomings Disclosed.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 4.-EXperts
Joyce and Tanning, appointed coun-
ty commissioners to examine the
books and accounts of the absconding
embezzler, John E. Sullivan, late
county clerk, began their work this
morning. Sullivan's exact where.
a5outs are matter of much specula-
ton. Sullivan's total shortage and
debts to date, exceed twenty-five
thousand dollars. He even numbers
among his victims, the sheriff of the
county, to the extent of couple of
thousand dollars. No steps have yet
been taken to procure Sullivan's in
dictment, or to hunt him down.
