have been searching in vain for the
fishing grounds on the Olmos.
The ''scoundrels," "hoodlums'' and
''Comanche Indians" were in evil
dence at the congressional conven-
| ton.
The cutting off the official fee is
hard slap at the ward heller, who is
expected to do missionary work at the
| election.
Marshal Druse was on hand at the
| congressional convention, but not to
clear the stage-he fraternized with
''de boys"
| Under the new Democratic platform
DR.. Whittaker's scheme of 16 votes
for 81 will have TO be adopted by the
candidate.
When you run for Office you must

The doctors of Divinity and doctors
| of physic were almost as numerous
as the political doctors at the congress
sional convention.
An important meeting of the Citi-
zens association was held last even
ing. The big numerical may ex-
pect lots of trouble.
Now if the convention at Fort Worth
will throw harmony chunks like the

there was a call for Shelly and the
police and even for our chief city ex-
ecutive, to put down the irrepressible

1t was all in good humor when
they called capt. Joe Shelly" "Po-
lice" mayor Elmendorf, Mayor FL

for the sewers disqualified him, seem
ed to be the very cause of him being
chosen as one of the Elmendorf fam
| lily.
Nat Sulzbacher being called to the
chair to preside while Mr. Millsbaugh
was in nomination for elector, struck
defiant standing attitude while
Col. Newcomb was speaking. The
colonel mildly requested the belliger.
ant Cuneyite to take his seat. Nat

The attempt to break into New
combs arraignment of the Allison
conspiracy by calling him Reed man
was failure. The Colonel held Reed
