ANTI-RING TICKET.
Enthusiastic Meeting at Mission
Garden Last Night.

Garden Last Night.
The large hall of Mission garden
was packed last night as a result
OF call for mass meeting of clti-
zens for the purpose Of placing a
ticket in the field for the election
on November 6. Chairman l.. G.
Grothaus called the meeting to or.
der and introduced Peter Shields
as the presiding officer.
Speeches were made by A. j..
Williams, of Floresviile, r. l..
Summerlin and G. S. Robinson.
Mr.. Williams spoke in favor of w.
c. Kroeger for tloater, but it seemed
the people desired to hear some-
thing about local candidates, and
they showed evidence that Mr..
Williams remarks were not
favored. He then closed and there
were cries for Summerlin and
Robinson.
Mr.. Summerlin mounted a chair
in the auditorium and started In
on the Big Six. He said this was
no Democratic meeting, nor Re-
publican, nor Populist meeting
but meeting of citizens in Bexar
county to place the best men in
the field, regardless of political
parties. He spoke of the Big Six,
and also of John O'Connor, Pop.
ulist, and ridiculed the latter for
announcing himself as candidate
for the legislature on the Populist
and Big Six tickets. The latter re-
marks were greeted with loud APP
plause.
Mr.. Robinson was introduced as
sour next district attorney" and he
started right in to roast the "com-
bination that can't be beat" He
recalled the fact when the county
commissioners were indicted by the
grand jury, charged with misap-
propriating public funds, and the
applause and cheers were deafen-
ing.
Captain Mccall was called upon
for a speech, and he responded by
saying that he is a candidate for
sheriff and will be a faithful SER
want of the public if elected.
There were calls for Henry UNI
scheid. He said if the people think
he has honorably and faithfully
discharged his duties the past term
as district clerk, be solicits their
votes for reelection, but if they
think he has not filled the requir-
ments of the office they should not
vote for him. He then retired
amid loud cheers from his many
friends.
James V. Dignowity in response
to calls, remarked that the people
have assembled to protect their
personal rights and interests
and that the best way to do it was
to fire out the Big Six.
During the meeting Jay Minter
introduced a resolution that the
committee of twenty be continued
in power for all campaign pur-
poses and authorized to fill all va
cancies and vested with plenary
powers, which was adopted.
The following resolution intro
duced by James V. Dignowity,
was laid on the table:
"Resolved, That the committee
of twenty be perpetuated as a

purpose of selecting the names OF

and that they report such names
