THEY ARE AFTER SAVERS.
Pops Will Pail Andrews Down
and Put Up Makemson.

From present indications Con-
gresham Joe Sayers will be
re elected this year with an in
creased vote. The populist
leaders will pull Rev. Reddin
Andrews down (if they can,
and the chances are they can
if they wish TO and in the same
manner that Ben Terrell was
pulled down in the Eleventh
district two years ago. and
will bring out Judge Makem
son, who will be the republican
nominee. That the populist
leaders can deliver the goods
to the republican nominee,
however, no one hereabouGs be-
lieves, for some Of these lead
ers are already being viewed
with suspicion and alarm" by
the popHlist masses, and no
longer have the confidence of
the latter. True, Judge Makem-
son will receive the support Of
some of the Hardyiies of this
county, notably those who par
ticipated in the late gold pri-
maries, but this support will
amount to virtually nothing, as
it is composed of men who have
no political strength whatever.
As for the honest silver men,
whether popuIist or democratic,
they will hardly throw Major
Sayers, who is an out and out
free silver man, to vote for
Judge Makemson, an avowed
gold standard man. Although
the Rev. Reddin Andrews
denies in published letter that
he is going to- withdraw from the
congressional race, yet it is The
belief among certain populists
here that he was nominated by
the leaders to be Withdrawn in
favor of Judge Mukemson, and
This belief seems to be corrob
GRATED more or less by the State
ment made the Post correspon
dent few days since by popu
list leader who was instrument
al in nominating DR.. Andrews.
and which was in effect that the
reverend gentleman would un
doubleday withdraw from the
race. Another thing wtit h
adds to the belief is the fact
that Judge Makemson was here
two or three nights ago in close
communion with a couple of
populist leaders, and while DR..
Andrews may not withdraw
himself, yet it can be put down
as settled fact, like Ben Ter
rell, he will be withdrawn by
the executive committee" two
Of whom were able TO withdraw
the willy Benjamin. No matter
however, what the popullst
leaders, Judge Makemson and
the Hardyites may do, they
will not be able to defeat Major
Sayers, for the major has too
firm a hold upon the honest
yeomanry of the country Of be

the meeting that the object of this
union barbecue would be to hear the
currency question discussed and have
the three platforms fully explained to
the people.
The following committee will have

OUR POULTRY SHOW.

San Antonio's annual poultry show
and game fowl exhibition, which was
such an unbounded success last mid
winter, has been fixed to occur again
on December 18th, and perhaps for
two days following.
The committees which have been
out soliciting have met with fiatter-
ing success, though the work has been
harder and more contributors have
been called upon than was necessary
to assure success last year.
The fine poultry movement in Tex
as is Increasing in popularity as will
be seen by the fact that this year
Houston, Dallas, Austin and Fort
Worth will follow San Antonio's ex-
ample in giving exhibitions.
The poultry exhibit dates in Texas
range over period from the middle
of November to the second week in
January next.

SOUTH HEIGHTS FIRE.

The fire on South Heights yesterday
afternoon destroyed the stables and
barns of Mr.. c. NJ. Kingsley and Mr..
Julius Holmgreen, who occupied adj
joining property on Porter street. The
fire department did good service in
preventing the spread of the fire to
adjoining property, as it occurred in
a very thickly settled neighborhood.
The fire was caused by some boys
playing with matches. Mr.. Kings
ley's loss will amount to about $3.50
and Mr.. Holmgreen's to about $3.50.

owners do not know if their house

pale-looking man, who, by his gait
and appearance, would attract the at
tention of any one. He has a remark
able history in many respects and did
not seem averse to having little
sketch of it written down.
HE is consumptive and lives by
the camp fire. For ten years he was
never inside of house, and for six
weeks at time never saw the face of
a human being. When asked if he
never got lonesome he replied, How
can wolf be lonesomev He has led
the life of hermit for thirty years in
the woods and wild pastures of Live
Oak, Atascosa and Wilson counties,
and is well-known by all of the old
stockmen of these counties. He is
known by the name of 'Buckskin'
Williams-called 'Buckskin' from the
manner in which he dresses.
HE has lived for the past twelve
years in the pasture of Mr.. John De-
wees, and makes his living by hunt
ing and dressing deer skins, and never
comes out of the pasture unless to get
powder, lead, flour and salt.

game every time, and says the hind
quarters of a fat coyote are hard to
beat when a man is hungry.
HE is a man of but few words and
never bOthers any one, and everybody
severely let's him alone. He has de-
veloped in the wild pastures of Texas,
yet there is something interesting in
the original way in which he eX-
presses himself. He has, until lately, |
pitched his camp in some secluded |
spot where even old hunters might |
pass within a few yards and not find |
him. He said he was fond of child |

been in love three times in his life |
once in the Carolinas and twice in |
Texas, but never expects to marry.
HE believes in the Christian relig-
on and is member of the Methodist |

The oath of Office taken by every Of
ficer in the state, county and city
reads that he has not given or con-
tributed any money to secure his ell
ection or made any promise or held
any inducement to a voter to vote for
him.
Just think how many liars we have
in Office today, and just think how
many liars we will have when the ell
ection is over.
The liar will steal and the people
should be careful not to put liar in
Office. The man who will buy a vote
with money or with a promise is a
criminal and the worst of criminals.
The saloon men are in position to
spot the liars. Their saloons are the
club rooms of the poor men--the hood
lers think the saloon man is a crimi-
nal because he sells whisky and beer,
just fool him for once.
The saloon man is a refined, elegant
gentleman, a heightened citizen in
comparison to the county or city Of
fetal who commits perjury in order
to qualify for office.
Perjury is crime punishable in the
penitentiary-selling liquors is a Ii
censed occupation. The liquor dealer
is the largest contributor to the rev.
enues of the government. Yet the
venal candidate assumes to patronize
the saloon.
The candidate who treats think he
is buying the saloon; when you find
such a customer put him down
among your bogus goods.
any thing else is honest, sensible men
in public Office, not men who purchase
votes and commit perjury in order to
qualify for Office.
