THAT the people are Saying.

what the People are saying.
SThe slim attendance at the rspubli-
mass county convention held In
fisch hall would indicate that the
Dirty has lost it's old time vigor aud
p prsslt;ge in Bexar county.
= -
Ninety thousssna votes were cast
for Blaine in 1884, but there was . re-
publican club in this city to whfJI.,
over five hundred white republicans
belonged; now, q mass county con.
vention cannot rally over one hundred
men, of which not twenty are white.
Any estimate Of the republican
vote of the state based on Blaine's
vote, must be misleading. Negro
domination in the party conventions
has driven off the great bulk of the
white repu blicans, and especially the
German republicans.
The so-called LILLY White" fac.
ton has appeared on the scene none
too soon, as another presidential
election under the rule of federal
officials and negro bosses would have
wiped out the last vestige of that
patriotic organization, known Is the
republican party of Texas.
The abandonment of precinct Or
ganization by the Terrell johnson
faction, shows that they have no
party organization in Bexar county,
and are unable to do any effective
work. 49,.
The political situation in our county
is serious matter to every good citi-
zen. If the repu blican party was
united and not controlled and run In
the interest of pure selfishness, the
people would turn to it for reform.
AS it is, an appeal to every good citi-
zen to rally to enc standard and make
the battle cry "snti.ring, anti-admin.
istration," may be necessary.
Two years ago q large assemblsge
of white republicans was broken up
by q negro mob, headed by the gen.
tlemen who run Tuesdays meeting
Then the Arkansas Pass railroad ran
the ring. Now, If these gentlemen
find 1t necessary to mount chairs and
read labored addresses decryiDg the
lack of republican harmony, they
NAV remember that throwing chairs
started it.
A congressional district is within
republican grasp, and yet the oppOr-
tunity is In danger of going by de.
fault.
Judge Tom Paschal has been on the
bench for many years until he has
become tired of sitting on the bench,
and now wants to take cane bottom
chair in the house of represen tatives
in Washington. II Judge Noonan
would only get tired of the bench,
Tom Paschal might not be so sure of
the cane bottomed chair.
The people of this district will vote
against their interest when they vote
for Paschal; the commercial and in
dustrial interests of San Antonio and
this district require the aid of re.
publican congressman.
Mr.. Paschal never delivered but
one decision while judge that attract
ed attep ton. that was when he ex-
cluded Mr.. Sauer from U. s. citizen
ship because he entertained socialistic
views. The decision was wrong but
1t brought Tom out.
Now, Judge Tom, you must depend
on the Mexican Indian vote for your
election, they have declared intention
tn become U. & citizens, but the test
applied to the Germ IN socialist Sauer
would disqualify ninety per cent OF
them.
Judge Tom, will you be less ronsci-
entious as congressman than as
judge? Will you allow this gigantic
fraud upon American citizenship and
suffrage to continue, without making
a protest against it? Will you quietly
bargain for and receive the votes of
these Mexican aliens, and not raise
vonr Voice as an hOnaRt man and an
