TERRELL AND BREWSTER.

These republican candidates for
congress in the Eleventh and Twelfth
districts were in the city yesterday,
and from conversation with them the
LIGHT has every reason to assure its
readers of the republican faith that
they are making q most successful
canvass. San Antonio is specially
interested in the success of Mr.. Ter
rell, as he Is a citizen of this place,
and well known as young man Of
ability, character, broad information,
on all the great questions of the day,
thoroughly republican in his ideas of
government and intelligently alive to
the wants of the district that he
seems destined to represent at the
national capital. In addition to this
Mr.. Terrell is as intimately acq TAINTED
with the leading republicans Of the
country, now in the national service
at Washington, as any man of his
years not in the public service, while
he has a more intimate acquaintance
with the heads of several of the de-
partments of the general government
than many members of congress who
have been in the public service for
years. The election OF Mr.. Terrell
will largely benefit this city in many
ways, not. least by the simple fact
that he is a republican, thus disabus-
ing the mind of northern business
and capital of the erroneous impress
sion that republicans have no show
in the great southwest. The repub-
licsns of this district are better
placed for electing a representative
to congress than they have been in
twenty years, and If they do their
duty in supporting the nomination
of MIR. Terrell there is no fear Of the
result. He is without question the
ablest and the most desirable Of the
three candidates now before the peo-
pie of this district for their suffrages
and the only one who can put him.
self in line with the protectionists of
the country without overstepping the
lines OF the party that has put him
forward. The republicans of this
district have work to do between this
and the opening of the polls ten days
hence. They should urge on the
followers of Clark the obligations they
are under to support republican,
particularly as against democrat of
the Hogg breed, for the republicans
of the state are almost unit behind
Clark.
Col. Brewster has large personal
following in his district, and the
cheering assurance comes from every
quarter that he is gaining ground
daily in his CANVASS. Mr.. Brewster
has long resided in the southwest and
his business relations have brought
him into close contact with the BUSH
ness brains of the border. He is
everywhere known for his probity,
ability, common sense, conservatism,
broad mindedness and answering
fidelity to the interests of the state.
If elected he will join hands heartily
with Mr.. Terrell in opening the eyes
OF the north to the real character of
the people of this vast and rapidly
developing southwest. He will be a
minister to preach the advantages of
this whole region to the open ears OF
the nation, and in his position as the
representative of a growing constitu-
ency will neglect no opportunity to
turn the steps of capital and immigra-
tion this way. The election of these
two men to congress would revolu-
tionize the entire face of this district
in two years. 1t is In the power of
the republicans of these districts to
send these candidates to Washington
as their congressional representatives,
and they should be alive to the
splendid opportunity that is once
more given them to have q representa-
tive in the halls of the national Iegis-
lature.
