AUSTIN, Texas, July 81, 1890.
T. T. Wander Hoeven, San Antonio. Tex:
DEAR SR-Your favor of yesterday en-
closing call for BeXar county republican
convention is at hand.
In answer to your inquiry l desire to
state that your call does not differ with a
majority of those l have seen issued in the
state. 1t is supposed that at the last
county convention the different precincts
and wards of your city elected their re-
spective chairmen, and such being the
case, l doubt the authority of the county
chairman to appoint chairmen of pre-
cincts and wards. 1t is entirely within
the province of the county chairman to
either call a mass meeting or have wards
and voting precincts elect delegates to
attend a Justices precinct meeting. 1t
seems to me that your call is entirely
proper. Very truly yours,

Hogg reigneth.
Anti-Hogg material was so scarce
among the democracy of our city that
they had to piece out with some re-
puhlicans and Burgess, of Seguin.
AS it is determined not to hold q
democratic county convention this
year to nominate county officers, Hogg
will have to root for votes in BeXar
county.
The republicans can be congratu-
lated upon escaping the farce of cleo
ton precinct primaries, after the re-
cent democratic display of political
chicanery and municipal manipula-
ton.
Something for the colored brother

club is in the democratic camp.
The candidacy of Mr.. Walters for
district clerk and Ira r. Hewitt for
for Assessor, is the most popular

deeply interested in favor of the pro-
lection policy of the republican party

engagements meets at Mission garden
Wednesday evening.
The democratic primaries were a
decided Hogg victory; one precinct
instructed for Hogg, and not one
against him.
1t is pretty we'll understood that
the city administration is Hogg; not
a single precinct primary instructed
against him.
In CHANGING over the list of delegates
to the democratic county convention
it will be seen that without the Mexi-'
can vote, as the late Judge Devine
once said: 1.-THE democratic party of
Bexar county is a mere clique"
