years been in collision with Re

\ elections. But they have now
seen a great light, have been
weaned from the error of their
ways. The conversion OF Saul Of
Tarsus was not as certain. The
Democratic sheep are now to be
separated from the Republican
goats. The apostles OF the new
dispensation will have hard work
convincing the voters of San Anto-
MO that it was better to let the
city's affairs go to wreck and finan-
cial ruin than to elect a mayor
who in National politics is Re-
publican, but who would in no
sense be Republican mayor"
Again on the same day, but be-
fore l will make any more trans
scripts from that ever-faithful
journal, l will say, that remarks in
parenthesis, are my own and shall
not be charged against that "Demo-
cratic (and Republican, for reve-
nue." Express. Now proceed. "The
Callaghan-Shardeinites are grow
ing pale with election fright. The
determination OF the people to see
the books insures their defeat by
an overwhelming majority" Well
we saw thebooks, but they had not
been posted for about year. The
Express is right, however, about
"the election fright" only for once
it was in advance of the time, the
fright is only beginning now, but
it threatens to become a panic
soon. Now, one more quotation
from the 1st Of February, 1898, be-
fore we will examine Feb. End of

Now let us see what can be
found for Thursday, February End,

"The conversion Of the Cal

"a business administration and

(The Gulf Shore road-though
very much courted now-was be-

Express estimate of his majority
by 1000 votes.)
"If all the administration meas

taxes suffered to remain as they
are, there will soon be a two mil

the administration changed on the
18th Of February, 1898, and not

Well, after we entertain ourselves
longer with the Express editorials

right to slight him now, therefore,
let us see what he had to say (edi-
