That So-called Republican Execu-
tive Committee of Bexar
County Again
! Six years past a certain gentleman
was placed at the head of the above
| dnfamous) famous executive republi-
can committee of Bexar county That
gentleman had small congressional
bee buZzing in his little bonnet At
the self-same time, the democratic ex-
ecutive committee of Bexar county was
headed by a big six gentleman, who
had big judicial bee buzzing in his
bonnet, in addition to a burning desire
to have the "big six democratic coun-
~ ticket, with himself at its head,
elected. In this condition of affairs,
about the list of October, 1892, the
above big and little bosses were fire.
quently found in deep conclave, and
often behind closed doors. AS a re-
suit, out came full-fledged democrat
ic big six county ticket, with the demo-
cratic chairman at its head, for county
judge; and To- and behold, that ticket,
endorsed by the aforesaid democratic
chairman (modestly of course) with
the name of our chairman of the re-
publican executive committee of BeXar
county, lovingly supporting that en-
dorsement, with a modest request that
all republicans support that ticket.
When rallied for this sellout our little
wOuld-be boss said hush! hush!
hush" For all this the big six are
pledged to vote for me for congress
from the 18th district and give me
1000 majority in BeXar county, and
thus 1 will beat Tom Paschal." Did
the big six deliver the goods? This lit
tie slipup rather Disguised our then
would-be little boss, and he retired and
another man, entirely friendly to the
big six combination, was put in his
place as chairman. AS soon as this
man was put at the head of our repub-
lican executive committee it became
amusing to see how the big six worked
him. They dropped a crumb or two
from their bountiful table-a seat for
a short time in the board of aldermen
county doctor for a few months
and a place on the Callaghan city
ticket, ETC., ETC., and after having used
him as long as they needed him they
set him adrift.
In payment for these insignificant |
favors our said chairman did his level |
best two years ago to have our repub-
lican executive committee endorse the |
big six ticket of 1894, but failed by |
single vote, yet supporting the ticket |
himself and denying to the republic |
cans of BeXar county any chance to
nominate a ticket to oppose the big |
county convention.
A few months since, a negro, sup |
piled with money from combine" to |
beat Mckinley, came to BeXar county |
and in few days had this same $50 |
called) republican committee in full |
tow; and in defiance of the will of |
nine-tenths of the republicans of the |
18th district, and by the fraud of said |
republican executive committee, sent |
Allison delegates to st. Louis. Now |
this so-called republican executive |
committee comes to the front and calls |
a Mckinley club. BAH! Gentlemen, |
if you wish to support the big six tick |
ct, do it like men, and get out of the |
republican party and go into the DEM |
ocratic party. Do not use a club call |
ed Mckinley club, under the color of |
which to support the big six. This |,
twisting and shutting and double deal |
ing, this claiming to be republicans, |
and supporting democrats, is supreme |
ly disgusting and dishonest. and you |
and your five other little conspirators, |
and would-be Mckinley assassns, |
have justly earned your contemplate |
title of the little six" Do not be- |
guile yourselves by the happy dream |
that the formation of a Mckinley |
club" will efface your corrupt record |
at either the national or state republic |
can headquarters, nor that every true |
and self-respecting republican in this |
district, and county, has not got his I
eyes upon you, and your traitorous
little six" schemes.
NO FOOL.
