CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS

going to raOrganiZe the Democratic
party of Bexar. That is phenOme
nally comical. The wolves are go
ing to constitute themselves tn,
guardians of the sheep.
The Express says Judge w. w
King is in favor OF reorganizinl
the Democracy Of Bexar, and tina
inspires us to ask if wonders will
never cease. In 1890 Judge KinG
was a candidate on the mongrel
lied and hybridiZed ticket put Out
by the county ring, and by this
course contributed to demOralize
the Democracy Of BeXar.
In 1892 there is no doubt but
that Judge King supported the by
bridiZed county ticket put out by
the county ring. In the recent city
election he supported the Gala
CHAN ticket, on which were ten
Democrats and nine Republicans,
DIR. Clifford, the chairman Of the
Republican executive committee
of Bexar county, was candidate
on the Callaghan ticket.
- These "reminiscences render it
phenomenally funny to see Judge
King come forward in the role of a
reOrganizer of the Democratic
party of Bexar. as Saul among
the prophets"
This cunning device of the Big
Six is entirely too transparent to
answer the purpose Of decOy to
the Democrats. Who are solely
responsible for the disorganized
condition Of the Democracy Of
Bexar? The county ring. The
people we'll know this fact.
The Big Six count oD controlling
the primaries and the county con-
vention, and thus getting them
selves and their creatures nomi-
mated, as Democrats, in 1896. But
the game will not win, for the rea-
son, that the fly will not "walk in
to the parlor Of the spider"
The people have made up their
minds to retire the Big Six to pri-
vate life and take charge of the
county themselves. The people do
not feel that they stand in need o.
the continued guardianship Of the
county ring, or office-holders' syndi-
cate in fact, they are sick and tired
of the arrogance and despotism of
the Big Six. The doom of the coun-
ty ring is sealed. The Big Six must
give up sucking the public teat
and retire to the shades Of private
life.
No reorganization Of the DEM
Ocracy Of Bexar is possible until
the Big Six are retired, for good
and all, from the helm and from
the public teat. The late city cleo
ton demonstrated the fixed deter
mination of the people to retire the
Big Six, and take the helm into
their own hands.
There will be hearty and etfec-
tive union and cooperation Of those
who are opposed to the county
ring in 1896, and it will sweep the
county, as fire sweeps a prairie,
or as a tidal wave bears down all
before it, There is no chance for
the Big Six to hold on to the
public teat longer than Novem Der
1896, and if they be wise, they will
"tlee from the wrath to come" by
retiring voluntarily to the shades
OF private life.
In 1896, the people will make a
clean sweep-turn out every coun-
ty official, and put in men fresh
from the people and in full accord
and sympathy with the people.
The Big 6 have been feeding from
the public crib for many years,
and should now give others a
chance.
Keep up the war against the Big
Six and listen to no terms of truce
from them. The city is out of
their clutches.
The county will also be snatched
from their clutches in 1896 and full,
ly redeemed from thralldom to the
county ring. The patriotic men in
BeXar must work with a will tC
accomplish this glorious deliver.
ance Of old Bexar from ring rule
and close their ears to the sirer
songs Of the Big Six.
When the county ring shall have
been routed horse, foot and dra
gOOns, and driven out OF theiI
imaginary citadels, in the county
offices, it will then be time enough
to talk about drawing party line
and recognizing parties.
