against the Paschal ticket, charging
that 1t is move of the republicans
to secure control Of the city admins
trstion. At the same time, with an
Inconsistency all their own, they de-
msnded strsight out political 'nomi-
atoms and being refused such nomi-
nation by the good sense of the peo-
pie they claim for their own self
born, self-nsmed, and self-nurtured
ticket the loyal support of every
democratic voter. II the Shsrdein
crowd are so alfred anxious for q
straight out, party-political ticket
why did they not call democratic
primaries in the several wards, elect
delegates to regularly constituted
convention and make
their nominations for city officers in
such convention? The way was open.
The matter of calling such couven ton
was in the hands of the city comm it,
tee, of which committee Mayor CAL
lsghan, the godfather of the Shardein
ticket, is chairman. 1t was not
done because to have done 1t would
have knocked their ticket, into
the middle of next century
and prevent the nomination of nearly
every candidate upon it. What would
such convention have amounted to
with such democrats conspicuously
absent as-George Russ, J. 81. French,

porting Psschsl?A democratic conven-
ton in this city with these men left
out would be q sick kitten, and no one
knows it any better than the men who
are bounding the Paschal ticket for be-
ing republican while at the same
time they curse it for not being party
political. Another reason why no
democratic convention was called was
because in such convention it would
have been impossible to have nomin-
sted the seven republicans who are
on the Shardeln ticket. Not only is
Shsrdein himself backsliding re-
publican, having made the race for
sheriff of the county against that old
democrat, Gen. Knox, a few years
ago, but the candidate for collector on
that ticket and the right bower of the
whole business, Mayor Lock wood,
was but few years ago parading the
streets with the black repu blicans Of
Bexar county in the ranks of the
league" Leaving these men out of
the question there are two repuoli-
cans on the Shardein ticket to every
one that is found on the Paschal tick
ct. 1t Is simple matter of fact that
of the twelve aldermen on the Pas
chal ticket NINE are democratic.
Three aldermen-at-large and all of
the ward alderman, except those from
the Fifth and Eighth, are democrats.
The collector, auditor and attorney on
the Paschal ticket are democrats.
The treasurer is q republican, but as
his politics did not prevent the
Shardein crowd from nominating him
his nomination by the Turner Hall
meeting may pass unchallenged. The
Paschal ticket was nominated by the
largest gathering of San Antonians
ever assembled to formulate q city
ticket. 1t was non political gather.
ing and the charge that 1t was q res
publican move comes with q very
poor grace from the fellows who held
