ECHOES FROM WEST END.
WEST END, SATURDAY,, Feb. 90, ls9s

WEST END, saturday, req. ~, 1872
Nature is rapidly giving us the appear
ance Of youth in our surroundings; like
in a cultivated meadow green grass is
coming up on the unsod LOIS, the number
| of which are steadily decreasing.
The lake is being crossed and recroSSed
every fair afternoon by those who are
fond OF boat riding; otherwise. even West
| End is quiet.
In the reapportionment of election pre-
| cincts, the majority of our commissioners
court, recognizing the justice of our
reasonable West End petition, has
promised to grant us an election precinct
which will be remote from any dram
shop influence; we will cast our votes
there this November.
Since Gov. Bogg has issued his pro-
clamation, for subjects to legislate upon,
it is safe to assert, that in his saving
clause that he might submit other mat
tiers during the session, "the six shooter
must go" and keep the sabbath dry"
will find a place.
The announcement of Hon. Geo. Clark,
disturbed coiled up snake at Tyler; the
glad tidings OF his candidacy among the
people caused the anaconda of Texas de-
mocracy to spew its venom in partisan
spirit to aid the quondam interyenor In
the l. & g. N. railway muddle. The
shifting of views by our state democratic
chairman are as far apart as the governor
and an Austin petit jury.
Calling conventions by Mr.. Terrell, is
hopeful sign of the times; il shows repub-
| licans are tired of the Callaghan & Co. s
| joint craftsmanship: the democracy OF
| Bexar county had 10 see itself sold out
| few days before the last state convention,
with no possible chance of correction.
Governor Hogg appreciates the favor
done him here by said joint committee,
his appointment OF DR.. Graves and
| Sam Maverick among the directors OF
Southwest lunatic asylum, proves this,
still it is very doubtful if so or mere dele
gates from San Antonio could ever defeat
j. M. Dean again for senator; this true
and tried democratic delegations came all
| the way from 25 to 80 miles to senatorial
convention, stocked and cut by San Pedro
| ward politicians. Luckily the new APP
pointment will make changes, and with
the Australian ballot to help us double
faced party men can be held back.
How would it look to the backwoods-
democrats, il the Hon. w. N. Finley,
would take lessons here, then call upon
Mr.. Lock Mcdaniel and issue a joint
manifest, that for the next tive years,
people are to suspend politics, and that
instead thereof MeSSrs A, b., c., d., ETC.,
had been by them selected to boss US for
the next two years.
Before finishing today, | must not for
get that was charged by Ex-Super. Col:
Walter Scott, with having, by means OF
the columns of the LIGHT, done him a
great wrong, by reference to the eX-
penditures for the excavations or founda-
ton for our future court house. / only
quoted from other papers, but as he be-
lleves the big item 'dncidental," was err
roneous, have promised to correct it by
giving the public the whole items that
made the sum of Sl5,1l0651s, with which
| 2 260 cubic wards of foundation have been
made. 1t was not my purpose to do Super.
Scott any wrong Here are his own
figures:
