To the Daily LIGHT:
In order to have my usual Echoes from
West End" | mailed you some from here,
and now since CaStrovile is so unusually
quiet ! take to writing again. | was at
Mr.. Kilhorn'S picnic at Biediger'S grove
Yesterday, where there was less of
crowd than on some previous occasions.
still the crowd was large enough 70 get
away with Sam Jones advice and about
twenty kegs of beer. | was asked to in
trOduce the speakers, who were MeSSrs.
C. 5. Robinson and Louis GrothauS. to
the audience. Mr.. Robinson advocated
Mr.. HOgg in his canvass for state senator
and did il more gentlemanly and cleverly
than either the governor, Mr.. Finley or
Duncan (nO use to mention Mr.. Coke
could have done. Mr.. GrOthauS advCcat-
ed Judge Clark and made a very earnest
and plausible appeal for republicans TO
sustain Mr.. Terrell in his canvass for
congress, although he knew that IL was
an up hill business in so strong PaSchal
gathering. He advised voters TO take Mr..
Lewis to guard their interest in the next
state senate and converted several
HoggiteS hack into the democratic Clark
fold. | will not disguise that there were
some third party men in the throng who
refuse to have either any Clark or HOgg
in theirs ard will vote for Nugent. | did
not stay all night, having heard Sam
Jones preach against dancing. | went up
here. Just as ] was leaving | heard a
big shout, "Hurrah for Thomas p. Nc
Call, by the BeXar county people from
near the POrtrancO and Sons.
The campaign lie started here against
Mr.. Lewis about not supporting the dem
ocratc nominee, Mr.. PaSchaI. for con-
gresS, has been effectively refuted and he
is now only honOred by abuse from the
Hogg paper in the county. There were
many local medina county candidates on
but were ''rustling." Mr.. s. b. EdSterly.
cand idate for district judge, was one of
them. Messrs. LytIe and Mr.. Daniel, the
friends of Mr.. Williamson, expected him
with Capt John Lyte, but they did nOo
put in an appearance The great agency
here for turning Hogg people to Clark, is
the Texas Farmer with It's insults to Cath
OlicS, which even so mild man as Bishop
NCraZ could not swallow and protests
against it in his San Antonio Messenger
in an article recently reproduced in the
Chronicle. The public offices here are all
closed, owing to the CaStroville HOndO
county seat controversy, in which some
people even go so far wrong as to think
hard of Judge Paschal for not being here
to decide that question. Will before the
election was held even, on the county seat
question, he had agreed to exchange dis
! trictS with Judge Allison, whose courts he
has to hold now.
Our district attorney in BcXar county.
George PaSchal, is looked upon by many
as being the cause of Gov. Hogg not hav-
ing enforced the Sunday law yet, because
he claimed, and Judge NoOnan also held
lin the Jaybrd and Woodpecker cases
transferred from Galveston to BeXar)
that misdemeanOr cases cannot be re-
moved by change of venue. 1t is now
deemed possible, in case of reelection Of
Gov. Hogg, that he will ask for a law.
allowing these smaller cases TO be trans
ferred TO Austin just as feIonieS have
been. SCHEID.
