not be chosen from Brer. Cooney's
crowd.
Should Congressman Noonan de-
cline reelection, he will make a good
mayor.
Nat Sulzbacher got to st. Louis
Just in time to see Brer. Cooney
bounced.
We have the Baptist brethren with
us this week, and can take little rest
from politics.
Since Jos. Sayers owes his election
to Quincy, he should now look out for
job for him.
Charley Crawford will likely be a
candidate for county commissioner in
precinct No. 1.
Lets have straight tickets-give the
Republicans a chance to vote for con-
stable to president.
Cooney is out of the way-for a
time at least now let the republic
cans come together.
The Lilies did not get up close to
the pie counter but they raised Cain
with Brer Cooney.
Captain Nat Lewis knew when to
leave sinking ship-the free trade,
free silver democracy.
The Light congratulates the Express
in adopting the republican platform:
sound money and protective tariff.
Bart Crowther is having bushels of
fun around the City hall at the eX-
pense of the small Allison contingent.
The garbled reports by the Express
black and tan correspondent at st.
Louis, failed to land Cooney safely.
No more little committees will fix
I'D the county tickets. The people
propose to have something to say this
year.
Carlos Bee seems to have lost all
hope of that legislative nomination,
except through a straight county con-
venti0n.
Texas republicans now begin to feel
a little more respectable, since they
have been freed from the Express
pet Cooney.
That tumble bug story in the Ex-
press failed to mention that its little
Cooney was the little BALI that was
being rolled.
Brer. Jim Davis did not go to st.
Louis. He was suspicious about
those reports in the Express and
stayed at home.
Brer. Quincy thought he had a
"cinch" with the backing of the Ex-
name is Dennis"
What is the Big Six going to give
r. f. Blair for pulling them out OF
the hole Carlos Bee put them in at
the county convention.
A good Republican can be elected
senator in this district as easily as
Noonan is elected to congress and
that means a "cinch."
1t would be mighty hard to have
straight Democratic county conyen-
ton when there are so many crooked
politicians in that party.
The Pops seem to want Taylor Nc
Rae for congress. Well, Taylor may
be a statesman, but 1t would be
hard job to prove it on him.
The negro will be allowed his prop
er place in the Republican party, but
he cant expect to run it and vote the
Democratic ticket at the same time.
The denomination of Perry Lewis
for senator by the Democrats Will
probably make the Maverick bank af-
fair an issue in politics again this fall.
The Light is glad to welcome Its
morning contemporary, the Express,
into the Republican ranks. Sound
money and protection will rain pros
perity on all alike.
Our contemporary the Express is in
hard luck. 1t gets cuffed by the free
silver democrats, and its pet Cooney
is booted out of the Republican con-
vention at st. Louis.
The manly independence shown by
some of the kid Democrats in kicking
against the bosses shows that some
of them are made of the stuff out or
which good Republicans are made.
When the "Big Injun" read in the
Light that Cooney had been bounced
at st. Louis, he almost turned pale,
and at once rushed to see the sleeping
Nazarine, to try and get consolation.
Let the Bexar county republicans
nut out a straight ticket.
Judge Callaghan can be reelected
if he will run on his own merits and
not try to carry too much dead
weight.
The kid Democrats came near put
ting the bosses in the nine hole at the
county convention. If the boys want
to do their county good service, let
them come into the new Republican
party.
We ought to have a 'straight Repub-
lican ticket this year, from president
down. Republicanism represents the
best traditions and patriotism of
America and now is the time for the
young men of Texas to get in line.
The Democracy is a party of here
sizes. First it was notification, then
slavery, then freetrade and now y is
free silver. The good sense an6 pa
triOtism of the American people nave
downed them all. Just as the silver
heresy is doomed to defeat this fall.
The Republicans will not only carry
