stopping at various points to examine
the condition of the gorg1. = ter the
party returned Mayor Lindley made
the following statement:
We were all quite fairly convinced
that the receding of the water is per-
manent and that the gorge will not
become any more menacing than 1t Is
at present. L IS quite evident that
the water has cut n large passage be-
meath the gorge and Col. Jones thinks
that the snow and ice may disappear
gradually until all danger Is past. We
have nature to thank for the happy
relief, and if this weather con
t:nues for a week the gorge will be
rendered as helpless as it has been
threatening. Anchor ice is still COM
ing down IN large Quantities, but it is
passing beneath the gorge and not adj
her.ng to it as it did Yesterday. The
condition has undergone Il complete
change, and such 4 sudden and salts
factory termination of what threat
ened to be.a great disaster vas hardly
looked for by the most sanguinc."

A Good Republican Opinion

a Good Republlcan Oplnlon.
To the Daily LIGHT:
What the Mission garden con-
vention will demand and,what it
will expect to receive, is the recog-
milton of it's delegates, at the
hands OF the national convention,
as the regularly accredited repre-
sentatives of the republicans Of
the Twelfth congressional district,
and everything now points in the
direction of this desirable result.
1t will have the advantage of be-
ing convened in regular manner,
according to the rules and usages
governing political parties, and it
has the support of the republican
press of the district.
One other efficient factor toward
complete success consists in cor
rectly voicing the sentiments Of
the rank and file of the party, as
regards presidential candidate,
and this can be done by the choice
of delegates favorable to the nomi-
nation of William Mckinley,
whose hold upon the republican
voters of this district. in particu-
lar, is well known to be as secure
as that obtained by any political
leader, at any time. in the history
of this country.
If this course is pursued, the re-
publican strength of the district
will be practically solidifled in
favor of the Mission garden dele
CATION, and their seats at st. Louis
will become an assured fact. 1t is
gratifying to know that some of
the best workers, with other per-
sonal preferences, are aware of
this, and to their lasting credit are
willing to subordinate their indi-
vidual wishes to what they deem
the desire of the people, and it is
no idle prophecy to declare that
"bossism" in the Twelfth Texas
district will be relegated to the
shades of "innocuous desuetude."

every one recognized "damnable

talk he declared that it was so hot
in the building that he either
would stop talking or take off his
coat. The audience yelled to him
to take off his coat and go ahead.
He accordingly threw it off and
finished his sermon in his shirt
sleeves. Proprietors of saloons
and disreputable houses say that he
has hurt their business fifty per

terbach, of the republican county
committee said:
ave have carried 80 Of the 80 as

Well elect a good Morton delega-
ton to the st. Louis convention
from this city. The claims made
by Messrs. Wright and Collins in
the fifteenth congressional dist
riot, that they have elected ma
jority Of the delegates are absurd.
When the convention meets to-
morrow night it will be seen that
we have carried the district by
about the same majority that is
claimed by Wright and Collins.
This is the most complete victory
we have ever won in this county
and demonstrates that the rank
and file of the party do not place
any confidence in the people,"
Public works Commissioners
Charles Coils said that he and
Correction Commissioner Robert j,
Wright would have a majority in
the district convention to New
York, and he was certain Of cleo
ton. He stated that his friends
would control the district conven.
ton. 1t was announced last night
that in the event Of a defeat, the
Collis- Wright people will bolt the
convention and send a contesting
delegation from the district. The
Coils Wright delegates held a eau
Gus last night to agree upon a plan
of action, but at late hour they
were still in session.
The completed returns from the
Twelfth district show that Cor
nelius n. Bliss will be defeated by
Thurlow Weed Barnes.
Mr.. Barnes declared last night
that he was sure Of receiving lS5
out of 262 votes in the congress
