Extracts From Local Politics.
From Texas Stats Capt. Schramm'S)
Xeitung.
The democratic party, which was
sought to be dubbed by the gentlemen of
the 4th October convention, owes them
thanks for teaching them not to fish in
strange puddles."
Under existing circumstances the dem
Ocratic party resolved to put its own
ticket in the field, which was made only
with view to (democratic) party sue
cess"
I'm cases where the nomination of can
didates may seem useless or detrimental
the democratic party simply passed such
by. Where no nominations have been
made the democratic party Is left to act
10 suit ITSELF"
"As district judge of the 37th district
Judge Noonan is too well known TO need
any praise with useless words
For district attorney Mr.. s. NJ. Ellis
has been put up against Mr.. Paschal with
the knowledge that change there is
necessary"
LAS district clerk we only have the
name of Nat Lewis to present, and doubt
if our action would have been appreciated
had we given the name of his opponent in
our paper; we must content ourselves
with Nat Lewis again for veal or woe;
whether Nat Lewis likes this only the
Gods can judge
For county Judge HI Callaghan, Hi
AItgelt."
For county CLERK, Thad Smith is a
democrat and Hans Degener republt,
can, or our political enemy who would
not condescend to ask us to bury the
battle axe long enough for a while, but
we take no stock in that race"
"For county attorney we are pleased to
name Mr.. c. A. Goeth.'
For sheriff the democratic party placed
John p. Campbell upon its banners. Why?
Because the majority rules"
Fer assessor the democrats decided for
G. :: Williamson. Why, Mr.. Huth is no
democrat
For collector the two champions, Jose
CaSSiano and M. Poor, oppose each other;
the first is democrat of the first water;
the last renegade-what will be the Ver-
dict? The democracy will let you take
your choice. but is not in doubt since the
position of both is defined"
For treasurer, we learn that no one
except Mr.. FrOboeSe wants the Office
stranger that no one wants TO handle
ready cash"
The surveyors office is cOntended for
by Locke and Nelson. The democracy
merely says, tits true, tbs pity, and pity
It's, It's true" etc, etc"
So much for the Schrammatic democ-
racy. Now let us go back to the old files
of that paper where it numerically scores
long Joe's democracy, because it never
could support democratic congressman
let US read up its knOppS and Lehman,
on the nice (NaD Lewis, let us remember
its boasts for working for principle only,
and now see the tatfy it, gives
Cassiano, places ,Callaghan ahead
of Altgelt, pretendS not to know
that Mr.. K. Norton is also candidate for
the office of treasurer. How often has it
declared is opposition to all kinds of Sun
day, Sumptuary or blue laws, and yet it
endorses for sheriff a man who is or has
been the sergeant at-arRS of St. Patrick'S
Total Abstinence society. Does it not in
a mai Ority of cases show its preference to
the so-called ring ticket, that has been
endorsed by Hunt and SaIliway and de-
Dounced by the labor organizations of the
city or the ticket that the following re-
puOlicans have adopted as their ticket,
viz:
Sam johnson, United States official
postmaster.
Thad Bell. name of Sinecure forgotten.
Hon. Mr.. Terrell, assistant district at
tOrney.
Chas. Ogden, late republican candidate
for governor, or anything he can get.
w. 5. Anderson, United States official
under Mr.. Thad Bell and alderman of the
city.
August Santleben, ex-alderman and
registrar of Bexar county.
r. M. Wallace, green cloth and crap
expert and city dog pound master; also
Doctor Starnes, a well spoken of physi-
| clan, and last end least, DR.. Linduer,
charged with the duties of assessor of
BeXar county. Oh God! What a demo-
cratic ticket have we had furnished us!
| Give us the ring ticket straight, without
| endorsements, and we will swallow it, but
| don't season 1T with such democracy.
| thought the democratic Schramm faction
were for Clark and not for HOgg. The
| Campbell club has endorsed Callaghan
and Hogg. Oh what consistency is there
in politics nowadays? Here is a strong
| Mexican club openly eSpouSing Hogg and
| Hogg candidates, and in return Mr.. Car
denas and the MutualiStaS will vote for
their man, after whom the club is named
and yet wewere of opinion that demOcra-
cy means Clark, and Hogg means the
Mexican vote in BeXar county.
How have the mighty fallen-a ticket
of Clark candidates is made fun of by a
democratic organ that seems to be en-
Filtered because some Of'theSe candidates
did not believe it possessed influence
enough for them to waste on it the cost OF
their announcement. As a democrat
shall vote for my friends now, no matter
