compliment it is-to Mr.. Callaghan,
by calling him the Kelly OF San
Antonio politics, and as Kelly was
Tammanyite after Tweed, tho
Governor, now ex. Governor could
only want to emphasize what the
Express 80 forcibly demonstrated
in its paragraph:
"Get the offices, get them, by
hook or crook, but ge5 them" there
fore "Sharp Eye" must be right
about the "Bad Bosses" who will
get the offices, unless an "lndig-
nant People" rise again and pre-
vent it by their honest ballots at
the polls, in such strength that
even the election tricksters will be
afraid to miscarry the result OF the
coming vote.)
otis now in order for 1878" to
round up a few of his aldermanic
incapables and indignate against
the people. They could hold their
meetings under the "court's" stove
pipe"
"The streets were clearer OF polit
ical snakes Tuesday night than
they have been for years. The peo-
ple's heels were heavy and they
kept from unoer. Only one plug
hat was seen, and it was staggering
home"
"The king, alias $685." is getting
so small that we will soon have to
dig potatoes to find him."
"Men are but flesh worms on the
face of the earth, but some Of them
get black heads when they get into
office. We see a specimen under the
plug hat"
"The tramping OF indignant citi-
zens the other night almost shook
the Doodle out OF their pockets, and
they are deep ones too"
"Convnntion hall was full and so
was '675' as he staggered down
Commerce street" (rhe Mayor Of
city ought not to stagger.)

"Brine has been toating that
plug around until the weight OF it
has made him bow-legged. He
should now donate it to one OF
Bruni's monkeys"
"The vibration under the Paris
plug Tuesday night almost brought
it to the gutter"
CAS- to preferring a plug hat to a
broad brimmed one, it is mat
ter of choice; only the honest labor
ing man is as much afraid of the
man with a stove pipe as a wild
bull of red f1ag.)

on morning changeling, can
sometimes overlook something, and
insert on the editorial page an ar

"THE KURNEL KICKS"
"In preparing for a municipal
election the historic Texas town OF
San Antonio has incidentally
made a classification by ma
tionalities of all it's registered
voting population. The interest
ing and surprising fact is thus
brought out that there are more
Germans than Mexicans in the
town. (Yes and 95 per cent. Of
the Germans and 40 per cent. OF
the MeXicans, will in this coming
election vote for the Independent
or Elmendorf ticket, which leaves
5 per cent. Germans and go per cent
OF the MeXicans for the (now by the
Express called Republican ticket
headed by Mr.. Callaghan, showing
a relative strength of two to one,
1876 to 65 in favor Of the Independent
or business men and taxpayers
ticket.) But let us continue. "There
are more Germans than Mexicans
in town, more Englishmen than
Irishmen, more Italians than
Frenchmen and more Russian than
Scotchmen. The classification by
nativity or place of birth is as fol-

The most remarkable thing Of all
is that so cosmopolitan town as
these statistics show San Antonio
