San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1895-02-08
SHORT sNAPPERS.

Til the nth VI March.
The alien law just passed the
House at Austin, means the sure
death OF the Big Six.
II the Express will print its Sun
day paper in green, the LIGHT will
print its Monday issue in red.
The Express should double lead
its editorials with plea slugs,
and print them in green.
The vote at West End will b.
about ten to one for the Indepen-
dent ticket.
Challenge every illegal voter,
and prosecute them to the full ex-
tent Of the law.
The big corporations say: awe
must have Brian, or we cannot pull
the leg Of the taxpayer"
Bob Green's friends, who wear
the green ribbon, are only helping
to bury Bob.
Callaghan would never have con-
sented to run il Kampmann had
not backed him for campaign ex.
penses. Poor old Brine.
Let the business men of our city
close up their stores on election
day and give their employees a
chance to vote the Elmendorf
ticket.
The failure of the attempt to
ring in lot Of transient Mexicans
upon the sewers seems to hurt the
Callaghan crowd terribly. But 1t
pleases the home people.
If Fuller was not in the employ
Of the county, why did Thad Smith
refuse to show the pay rolls to
committee OF railroad men, who
waited on him.
Take Bob Green and Johnny
Stevens and Willie Nolbrecht out
Of the Callaghan ticket and the
head Of it would not get half
thousand respectable voters.
General Weiss, the friend CD OF
the poor street car man, seems to
have got lost in the shuffi., since
the first meeting at Mission gar
den. He is no doubt putting upo on
the quiet.
Kampmann only makes con-
tracts for a month for lights. He
is waiting for Callaghan to get
in to pop up the price on his
patrons. Let the voters pop it to
Callaghan.
The Express thinks it inconsist-
ent that the people don't want to
trust tallaghan with the sewer
fund. They remember how the
garbage fund disappeared. That is
the reason-or one Of them.
Wright N. Quincy, the LIGHT is
informed, is in San Antonio to at
tend the bedside OF his wife, who is
i'll, and not to help cut the Express
in its distress over the Callaghan
ticket.
Engineer Pancoast ia simply
carrying out the terms OF the sewer
contract by seeing that only home
labor be employed. The first batch
of MeXicans sent to the work were
a lot OF tramps, who had not shed
their blankets and sandals.
The Express Mergenthalers have
ground themselves dry, and keep
the same old political matter stand
ing. It's getting like their Sun
day editions, except that the only
fresh reading is the new advertise
ments Of our Hebrew merchants.
Some of the timid mothers in
the quiet neighborhoods became
alarmed at the daylight parade Of
the three hacks and one buggy of
the Callaghan ticket. They looked
for their children after the tough
looking mob passed on.
One manly little fellow wearing
an Elmendorf ribbon, told Gen.
Peck when he offered him a quar-
ter to take off his red ribbon and
put on the green that he didn't
want his money. Even the kids
are on to the gang.
Callagban, Peck and their little
band Of buccaneers, who invaded
the Elmendorf wards, looked very
queer and suspicious to the law
respectable residents-no
harm in them-they only wanted
to spend some of Kampmann's
The hoodlum wagon was asked
for yesterday by a nervous Fourth
warder when he saw the suspicious
tough looking crowd that were out |
in hacks, whooping up Callaghan,
but when it was ascertained that it
was only Callaghan and some of
his chums, the police let them en- J
joy themselves-the time of their
