| history, occurred yesterday afternoon in
the county court room, the object being
to take action in regard to the Australian
ballot matter. At 4 o'clock Judge Nc
AllSter called the meeting to order and
there were at that time present, Ed.
Dryer, Louis SPAIN, Herman Heilig-
mann. H. Bitter E. Menger, NJ. Garcia,
w. w. Berry, J. p. Hickman, Ed.
Braden. Colonel Page, f. +. Wolff and
| Ed. FroboeSP. all judges for the coming
election. Ed. Dwyer was elected chair
man and Ed. Braden, secretary. The
| reports of the various committees was the
| first matter taken up.
Mayor Callaghan then appeared on the
| scene and made a few remarks, saying in
| substance: Il demand a couu n on the
ballot with officers from governor to con-
stable. headed by Hogg."
| Charles MierOw, chairman of the BeXar
| county peoples party, announced then
that their party had arranged ballot
according TO law. which places Thad
Smith with the democrats. ID. NJ. Poor
| with the people party, and Geo. Paschal
under the head of the republican column.
| A. Levy, of the Democratic Clark com
mittee, requested that the ticket headed
| by Geo. Clark, be placed in the first CO.
| lumn.
| Ut. U. u. OIlllOTu, Vi the IepuDlICdu
| party, presented full ticket with Clark
| at the head. as was endorsed by the Fort
| Worth convention, and which ended with
| the administration ticket.
General w. II. Young then started the
ball rolling. He produced the citizens
ticket as was made up by that peaceful
and harmonious convention which was
| held several weeks ago at RiSche'S opera
| house. He said that in behalf of all fac
tiOnS, he presented the citizens ticket
| headed by four state tickets. Some APP
| plauSe was OccasiOned.
J Boss" Bryan Calaghan, of course,
| arose in an instant and said: Il object.
| 1t Gen. Young claims to represent hOgg,
| let him declare himself These people
come here under masks"
| General Young then said: Il represent
| committee composed of llOgg. Clark,
| Houston and Nugent voters Individually
| | am for Clark.
The Boss" Il insist that you have no
right to say that you represent Hogg, as
| you have just declared yourself for
| Clark"
| General Young: I'VE number among us.
| Clark men as we'll as HOgg men. We
want this ticket put under several heads,
represented by our people. CalIaghan
does not mean TO say that his supporters
! will vote for Hogg only"
! Callaghan: "GOu said that you would
!
| represent Hogg. You are sailing under
! false colOrs. You want to make trouble.
| General Young: ''GOu are very proud
to sail under false cOlOrS yourself. Your
supporters are not all IIOgg men"
| Things then subsidized for time but. as
is generally the case, Callaghan got in the
| last words. as i the case when two school
children quarrel, saying he would only
| represent j. :. HOgg and no one else.
| Edgar Schramm then submitted his
ticket with the words: Il represent the
Clark wing of the democracy"
| James P.NewcOmb then said: II wish to
submit this ticket, representing the re-
| publiCanS OF BeXar county. We are also
| satisfied to have the CitiZCnS' county
| ticket placed under our head.
The fight was not off. 1t then became
| time for a discussion on Harry Terrell.
Regarding this, Mr. Aubrey said: II
| wish to protest against the appearance of
| barry Terrell'S name on any democratic
| ticket. PaSchal is our nominee and a re
publican has no business on democratic
ticket. ! want my protest noted
| Charles Ogden took up the other side of
the combat in a deliberate way and said:
so far as Aubrey'S objection is concern
ed, | will say that you have given to the
committee, represented by Mr.. Fleming,
one column on the ballot and the COM
mittee only has right to fill up their
column. The Clark committee believe
PaSchal is HOgg man and Terrell is for
Clark. The Fleming committee holds,
that as Terrell is Clark man, he is en-
titled to place on the Clark ticket"
Aubrey then replied Was not
Paschal nominated by the democrats? Is
he not the democratic candidate? He
was nominated by a democratic cunven-
tiOn of the district and not by a sub. com
mttee of a county organization. He
went on and said the name of
Terrell, republican, had no right
to be placed on a democratic ticket.
IF TeTrelIS name goes on democratic
ticket, in the place Of our nominee. it will
cost Clark 5000 votes. People will say
they are trading a member of congress for
Clark votes"
Mr. Ogden then said that the Clark ex-
eCutive committee had delegated to a sub.
! deemed best regarding the placing OF
Terrell's name on the Clark ticket.
Mr.. Aubrey inquired If Mr.. Ogden was
the chairman of the Republican executive
, committee Of the democratic party.
Ogden, with the wrath of a lion, said il
y voice sounding like that Of thunder
You have no democratic party. That i
what causes the tight. | tell you sir, i
: Terrell's name does not appear on tn
e Clark ticket, it will cost Geo. Clark 50,
600. Referring to republicans nam
| appearing on a democratic ticket, let m
ask, does not Clark sail under republican
q colors?"
= Mr. Aubrey: CLARK was nominate,
: by the democrats. We did not seek tn
= endorsement OF Clark by the republi
. cans"
u sc. Newton then broke loose and said
10 "When TerrelHS name was presented
. protested. 1t is not in the province q
. these men to put in a straight out repub
. lican or democratic ticket, after the
- helped to nominate PaSchal. A sta
20 chamber sub committee has no right t
~ ride over a democratic convention"
&c The room was then closed and the wor
of the adoption of a ticket proceeded
What they die exactly, could not be ascer
