SHORT SNAPPERS.

A poney team: w. f. Cox and
Bart Dewitt.
Connor and Blair now stand a
first-class chance Of election.
Commanche "Joe" will have his
trail kept hot by Jim Dignowity.
The man who says DR.. Graves is
not good politician is not posted.
Whenever candidate gets
scared he stands in danger of de-
feat.
John Wilkens, Jr., will make the
old dry-bones rattle in Precinct
No. 4.
The man that got snubbed by
the "Big 6" carries a stuffed club
for "de boys"
Judge Boerner over in Precinct
No. 3, will walk right in between
two candidates.
All the candidates are recon-
mended to take hot sulphur bath
before the election.
Joe Dryer feels perfectly safe in
No. l. He has been building
bridges in that part Of the county.
It's too bad to make Thad wake
up. He must now get up aud let
the wind blow through his whis-
kers.
T. p. Mccall is an old hand at
electioneering, and while he is
good on the wing, never misses a
pot shot.
Mr.. Jas. V. Dignowity is brave,
big-hearted San Antonian,-he will
make Bexar to a first class collec-
| tor of taxes.
The man who would so grossly
SANDER "Can't Stop" as to call him
| a prohibitionist, is fit subject for
the asylum.
If Nat. Lewis don't win it won't
be because he is lazy. He Is the
most untiring goer after votes in
the whole bunch.
Henry Umscheid will be hard to
beat, but Henry, you ought to
keep your sore toe out OF sight.
D0n't grow so mucn.
Six colored men have endorsed
Col. Gus. Houston, but If they are
not watched very close they will
yet vote for Judge Noonan.
II Gen. Russ had died he could
not have been so thoroughly for
gotten, and yet he is chairman Of
the Bexar County Democracy.
Gen. Russ can't be blamed for
keeping out of the way--his pri-
vate opinion Of Gus Houston pub
licly expressed, won't allow him to
take any stock in Gus
Why don't the "Big 6" endorse
Judga Noonan; are they afraid of
losing Houston votes? Where
would they go? to the Reform
ticket that has boldly endorsed
Judge Noonan?
The little anarchist club, after
endorsing "Nat," and the Populist
candidate, want also to endorse
Henry. If repeating was allowed
they might be able to trade with
all three Of the candidates.
The candidate who is afraid to
put his announcement in the
LIGHT because of the barking of
the little bunch of boycotJers,
will find that the people will be
afraid to vote for him at the ballot
box.
1t is good idea to have change
in public officials, especially where
they have been in so long that
they think the offices belong to
them. 1t is measure of cleanli-
ness to have clean shave and hair
cut now and then.
Mr.. l.. Orinski, the opponent of
Mr.. Thad Smith, for county clerk, is
a scholar of no mean attainments.
He uses with fluency both in read
ing and writing, four languages, is
a thorough business man, and will
make an A No. clerk.
About the $1,000 contributed to
the "Big 6" for their support of
Gus Houston,-there is all sorts of
denials; the "Big 6" deny it; the
Maverick bank denies it; and a
gentleman, who had repeated what
he had heard, says Gus did not give
the "Big 6" cent-the Sunset road
did it.
No Cars Were Running.
Yesterday evening quite a num-
