A Taxpayer Kicks.
To the LIGHT:

TO JHb IIUHT.
Why are the Sanitary officers. appointed
during the cholera scare, not discharged!
Their services are not needed and the
taxpayers are opposed to SQuandering
public funds. Why are the garbage carts
not suspended instead of having been
turned over to the Street0commiSSioner?
where they are of no service. This is
also a SQuandering of public funds. By
attending to the remedy of these
two items. the taxpayers will save
about one hundred dollars a day. The
garbage on the streets before the reSpec-
tive residences. accumulated for several
days, is an eyesore. The mayor has no
right to stop the garbage carts from doing
their duty and causing perhaps sickness.
The appropriation for removal of garbage
has been made, the taxpayers have paid
their respective amounts and expect to
have the work done. TAXPAYER.

Increasing the Potato Yield.

A remarkable series OF experiments
made by French scientific agricul-

New YORK, Oct. "a i Special The
Peoples party of New York City is
comprised of members of the various
Labor unions in the city, who have
been drawn into it largely through
the influence OF Grand Master Ter
renee V. Powderly, OF the knights Of
Labor. In fact tonight's county con-
vention i'll Cooper union will be
largely a knights OF Labor affair,
and the indications are that 1t will
show greater strength than was an.
ticipated by either of the older par
ties. A complete ticket is to be
named, including nominees for mayor
and judges. There is some talk of
naming DR.. McGlynn for mayor, but
it Is doubtful if he would accept.
McGlyn has, however, in the past
few days come out strongly for the
National Peoples party ticket and
this lends currency to the rumOr.
Henry George, who made so marvel
Gus a race for mayor OF New York,
will under no circumstances accept as
he has declared himself unequivocally
for Cleveland. Another name men,
toned is that of GOmpert, president
of the National Federation of Labor,
but it Is doubtful If he would accept,
as his office binds him to other work.
1t will be an interesting convention
and even though both parties are
quiet, all eyes are fixed on Cooper
union tonight.

Clark, HCgg, Nugent.

REFUGIO, Texas, Oct. 24-POlitics
is getting pretty lively in our county
now, especially so for the guberna-
torisI candidates. 1t is hard to tell
who Is in the lead, but your cores
pondent predicts that Clark will car
nv the county by small majority over
Hogg. Nugent will get a small vote
here. and all he gets will be the far
mer vote, as the expense of HOgg.
CROCKETT, Texas, Oct. 24.-Ar-
engagements have been made here by
the Cleveland and Clark club for a
barbecue on the Goth.
CORsICANA, Texas. Oct. ..24.-It is
conce ded here that Nugent Will carry
Navarro county, aud that Hogg will
beat Clark In the county. Several
b ats have been made that Hogg's ma
jority over Clark in this county Will
be less than 500.
EAGLE PASS, Texas, Oct. 24-EIec-
ton bets are becoming frequent. One
made yesterday of $500 that Hogg
would carry the State by over 10000
majority. Another ardent democrat
has bet 800 each on New York and
Indiana going democrat. Nat Sulz-
bacher, ESQ a well known drummer
and publican expressed his opinion
on the election prospects to Post
correspondent in these wards; "Hogg
will be reelected"
RUsK, Texas, Oct.24 Much has
been said and written in regard to
the vote Of Cherokee county in the
coming State election. Our Hogg and
Cleveland club numbers 240 white
democrats and the negroes are about
equally divided. For illustration, Q
large gathering of negroes last night
seven miles from town, of fifty per-
sons, nine were for Clark.
Hogg will get more votes in this
county than both Nugent and Clark.

Labor Troubles In Mex,ro

SAN LUIS POTOsI, Mex, Oct. "a -
Shops of Mexican Railway here and
in the City of Mexico are again in
operation, but large number OF the
associations have become one OF the
most serious that the city yet had 10
deal with. The strikers comprise
warehouse men and pOrters employed
by the wholesale commercial
community and also draymen.
The laborers were recently or
gauized into unions, and last
Wednesday made demands on their
employers for q regular schedule of
wages and regu ar hours aud for en-
plOyment Of none but union men.
Fhe Objectionable clause is that in
GLIDING merchants In employment of
labor. A large number of men quit
work this morning aud every busI-
ness house is severely crippled. All
who were employed as skilled ma.
chinists are still out. The company
refuses te accede to demands tor
increased wages. A number of old
locomotive engineers of the road have
lately been removed and their places
given 10 non-union men, who were
imported from the United States
Further trouble ls expected on account
OF the introduction of these new
men.

the attractions on the republican side

Washington officials have left for
home, some few only remaining over
to attend either tOnight's mass meet
ing or the Palmer banquet at kins-

THE BULLS EYE
Hit by the Trades COunciI-BIack
Eye for Hunt and SaIIiway.


Eye for Hunt and SaIliway.
To the Public and Voters Of Bexar
County:
AT public meeting held in San Antonio
at KrSch'S hall purpOrting to represent
the wOrkingmen of San Antonio a county
ticket the Administration ticket" was
endorsed and by resolution adopted,
dubbed the Workingmen's ticket.
The chairman and principal abettOr of
this meeting, MeSSrS. Hunt and Salliway,
neither belong to any labor organization,
nor do they voice the sentiment of any
la Dor organization iTeSiStence. The aim
of all this is 10 bring the organized labor
into diSrepute among our intelligent fell
low citizens.
To counterfeit any such impression the
Trades Council in regular meeting assem-
bled adopted tue following:
Resolved. That the Orgaized labor rep
Sented by this Trades Council is not now
nor ever will be follower of either Salli-
wav or Hunt.
Resolved. That we unite ourselves only
with men who are friends. not enemies,
even if wearing the cloak of friendship.
Resolved, That we, in the present cam
paign, will support the ticket as nominal
ted by the joint committee held at
RiSche'S opera house on Tuesday, Oct 4.
known as the Peoples party and Citizens
ticket.
