THE PLATFORM.
Adopted By The Bexar County Repub-
licans.

Adopted By The Bexar County Repub-
licans.
We, Republicans of Bexar county,
assembled in convention composed Of
delegates from the several election
precincts Of the county, for the pur-
pose of making an effort to rescue our
county government from under the
corrupting influences Of personal poll
tics. We believe this can only be &C.
complished by return to party con-
Yentions, and party nominations.
We are convinced, that the people re-
gardles of party affiliation, desire
change in our political methods that
will break down the ticket making
combinations that have ruled and all
but ruined our county and city gov
ernments.
Under the deceptive guise of "Cit-
liens Ticket" Reform Ticket" "Peo-
pies Ticket" and Business Ticket"
our community has been for the past
is years, repeating year after year
the farce Of putting in Office profess
sional office-seekers and professional
| office holders.
We are convinced that the efforts
OF the Republican party in 1882 and
1856, to eliminate party politics from
local elections was made In the inter
est Of reform" and a desire to meet
half way other good citizens Of differ.
ent political affiliations in a mutual
effort to secure relief from the tyranny
| Of an office-holders' trust.
We are convinced that in the course
Of time this abandonment Of party ac
ton has demoralized our people, cor
rupted our elections, and engendere6
hate and distrust between large bod
les of our citizens, as well as creating
individual personal animosities.
We are convinced that the extrava
gance which has piled up q heavy bond
ed Indebtedness, for which not only
the present but the generations t.
| come must sweat and work, was borI
of the corruption of non-partisanN poll
tics. Our new court house was an IN
necessary extravagance-it stands a
a monument Of derision of the people
the issuance of county bonds to pro
duce campaign patronage for the Off
Gals in power has been a shame and ;
crime upon the people of Bexar coun
ty. Hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars of the peoples money have beel
needlessly and criminally wasted.
We are justified in asserting that IN
der this non-partisan rule, onr loca
elections have become shameful exhi
| billions of the use of money to secur,
the votes of ignorant and irresponsi
BILE voters. That it has come to bt
considered legitimate for candidates tC

900 damage against Marie Rhodius and
Joseph Emminger. Mrs. Rhodius owns the
Circle Park Hotel building and Emminger
has a saloon in one of the rooms In the

passage in the rear of the saloon, which
is used as the Court-street entrance, is a
door opening into small room for the
use of the patrons of the saloon and also
another door opening into an elevator
shaft. About the middle of June Cora
Johnson, accompanied by her sister and
brother-in-law, went to the saloon and en-
tered from Court street They went into
the passagewa which, it is alleged was

stead ii was the elevator door and she fell
to the bottom of the cellar distance of
about twelve feet. Her injuries, It is al

Giant Locomotives.

The tendency of the railroad companies
of this country is to keep apace with mod
ern progress in all that tends to give the
travelling public the best and fastest train
service consistent with absolute Safety To
accomplish this locomotives and cars are
built much more substantial than five years
ago; much has been added to the weight of
locomotives, and with this a seventy-five
to undergraduates rail has been
adopted, cross ties placed more freely and
iron bridges have taken the place of wood
en- structures. Efforts have been made to
economic in the use of fuel by adopting
the compound for the simple engine. Just
now the Wooten type of locomotive is at
tracing a good deal of attention. The Cen
trail railroad OF New Jersey has placed in
service two of these locomotives, one a
simple, the other a compound type, but it
IS St1ff an unsettled question as to which is
pions among experts. Both these engines
are being used to haul Royal Blue line
express trains between New York and
Philadelphia, and have been daily giving a
good account of themselves, each being
able to make the very fast time demanded
of them, and at the rate of over a mile a
minute in places These locomotives are of
