ENDORSED THEMSELVES,

The self nominated city clique ticket
had to be endorsed even if it had to en-
dorse itself so its members and the city
employees met on Saturday night, at the
Houston street theater. About 900 per-
sons were present 500 of whom were mere
ly spectators, mere lockers on at the pro-
C eedingsand who will vote the PaSchal-
Anti City-ring ticket. The balance were
principally employees of the city admins
tration who had been paid off but a few
hours before and told that they had to go
there or get fired"
Editor Ferguson called the affair TO
order amid cries of Viva CaIlaghan,"
''VivaI Sardeenee" He introduced J. Ii.
McLeaIy, who ordinarily is a tOlerabIy
fair speaker especially when he is on the
right. side. but his attempt,at an address
then was a very lame as well as brief
one.
So was Colonel FergusonS. 1t was de-
voted principally to praiSng the official
organ. He presented the adver-
Using cane of the News to Cap
tain Phil Shardein. The Captain made
brief speech, in which he promised to
serve the city faithfully as mayor, if
elected, as he had as city marshal, but
what he did not say about the pitiful
plight that the present city adminiStra-
city and her treasury in would fill large
library of the very thickeSt sort of vol
umeS. He hasn't attempted to say any
thing on that subject during the present
campaign and neither has Judge Cal
laghan, who nominated him. and the
chances are that neither will attempt to
do so.
Captain John c. Crawford made a
speech, the principal feature Of which
was the statement that he had come all
the way from his ranch in the country,
where he has resided ever since his defeat
for assessor, when he ran against the reg
ular democratic nominee, to speak word
for his friend and fellow Confederate SOL
der, Captain Shardein. Nobody had at
tackled Captain Shardein's record as a
soldier or as a peace officer, and in no
wise personally, so the speech failed to
provoke the desired enthusiasm, and the
Captain then proceeded to render it in
Spanish to Fritz Russis laborers, and
they exclaimed, at the given signals,
"Vfva Callaghan!" "Viva Shardeenee ~
Prohibitionist Can't Stop Robinson was
also one Of the orators incident to the af-
fair.
Henry Pauly was the chairman and City
CartiSt Kuntzmann and Ed Braden, Jr.,
were the secretaries.
The nickelplated pistol of one of the
prominent men on the stage was a very
prominent object but 1t was not seen by
any Of the officers there. The wearer was
not an officer and had no authority to
carry it.
The meeting did what they were there
for. 1t endorsed the city ring ticket, alias
the" County RingC?)' ticket. Then
it adjourned for the beer.
