DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
Named for the Legisiature-Mr.
Wells Not the Chairman.

It seems that the gentlemen who
drew up the petition published in
THE HERALD last Saturday, address
ed to Hon. j. b. Welt as chairman
of the democratic executive COM
mittee of the S5th. representative
district, asking that democratic can
didates be nominated for the legis
lature, were mistaken in concluding
that Mr.. Wells held the position
named. As matter of fact, not Mr..
Wells but Hon. John Closner OF Hi
dalgo holds the position of chairman
of the committee, and he it is who
should have called a convention to
nominate democratic candidates for
the Legislature in this district.
Through some oversight on Mr..
Closner's part, that duty had been
omitted. The omission has been rem
edied, however, by the prompt ac-
ton of our leading democratic citi-
zens. and two well known democrats
have been named as can lidates for
the legislature. These are Hon. F.
w. Seabury of Rio Grande City, who
was elected TO the legislature from
Brownsville two years ago, and h..
q. Schultz, a rising young lawyer OF
tins city. These are democrats, good
and true" and though little late in
getting on the field of action, will
doubtless be elected with the good
old-fashioned democratic majority
which the lower Rio Grande coun-
ties are wont to return.
In this connection, it should be
stated that democratic tickets Oh
which the space for candidates for
representatives is blank have al
ready been sent out to many country
precincts. and there seems to be
some danger that the woes Of those
precincts Will be lost for the caudi-
da'es named. Such a contingency
should be avoided by the election
managers Immediately notifying
those TO whom the tickets were sent
to write the names OF Messrs. sea
bury and Schultz III the blank space
1t would be shame to allow the
election to 90 to tic republicans by
such an oversight, and il Is certain
ly to be hoped that it may be rem.
edied. ANY democratic baiio.

or late the South has become uneasy
over the Cuban war scare and has APP
pealcd to the War Department for the
protection Of It's principal cities by forti-
ncations. General Craighill, chief OF the
engineers of the army, has just returned
from a hurried inspection OF the fortlii-
cations now IN course Of construction at
Galveston, Fort ST. Philips on the Mis-
sissippi river below New orleans. Mobile.
Pensacola. and Key West. and several
Notifications further inland. These works
OF coast defence have been quietly but
rapidly pushed TO completion, and Gene
raj Craighill reports TO the Secretary OF
War that all. or nearly ALL Of them will
be ready for occupancy by December
10TH
General Craighil would not say that
the work on these fortihcations and the
orders for their immediate completion
have any bearing upon the Cuban ques-
ton. but he placed a significant empha-
sis on the remark that just now We arc

Corps in the work upon these fortilica-

were given to exercises all due haste in
the work along the Southern coast. and
the work on the fortifcations has been
pushed forward TO the exclusion OF other
business of the engineer department.
Craighill says he went first TO Calves
ton, where the mortar batteries and for
tidcations are nearly completed. At Fort
ST. Philip the work Is progressing rap

of the mortar batteries and forti1catons

points selected as sites for coast defence

General Craivhill says his duty is
simply to prepare the Notifications and
turn them over 10 the commanding gem
eral Of the army FOR equipment and oc-
cupation. In expcdiung the work on
fortified tions. every available officer OF
the Engineer Corps has been utilized,
even TO Withdrawing those officers who
were on duty at the Military Academy
and at other institutions of similar
nature.
As soon as these new Notifications are
armed il will be necessary TO garrison
them. for the modern gun requires con-
slant attention and care. The detail OF
officers and men for these posts is now
under consideration by the Adjutant-
General. and orders will be promulgated
and assignments will be mads at an
early day.
