San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1896-03-08

ed, contesting delegations mark the
evidence OF his presence. But the
intelligence and responsibility OF
the republican party have revolt
ed against negro bossism, and the
day of Cuney's political power in
Texas is nearing its end.
1t is stated that one of the rea-
sons urged in calling the republi-
can congressional convention to
meet at Fredericksburg was that,
being somewhat remote from the
ordinary lines OF travel and there
fore difficult to reach, there would
in all probability be fewer niggers
present than il the convention were
held in San Antonio. But the
scheme did not carry, for there
were niggers at the Fredericksburg
gathering, as Hon. f. H. Terrell
and Nat Sulzbacher can attest.
Though somewhat premature,
the announcement can be officially
gaZetted that the Hon. E. ii. Ter
rell will not go as delegate-at-
large to the st. Louis convention.
Mr.. Quincy has lost his rabbit foot.
Does the support which the San
Antonio Express is lending the
sable statesman from the sesshore
presage that the fiasco of 1892 is to
be repeated by the formation Of
another Cuney-C lark-coon combin-
alton in 1896. 1t certainly looks
that way. The result would be
the same.
With the democrats divided and
the Pops without a leader, there is
no reason why the republi-
can state ticket, headed by a man
like George w. Breckenridge, could
not be elected. The publicans in
Kentucky carried their state, and
what the republicans of Kentucky
have done, the republicans of
Texas can do.
The mention of the name of Jose
Cassiano in connection with the
democratic congressional nomina.
ton leads to the suggestion that
possibly Gen. George w. Russ
may be advanced later as a "com.
promise" candidate.
If Mr.. Cleveland desires to i'm
press the country with the belief
that he does not desire a third
term, let him pigeon-hole that con-
current resolution which passed
the senate and house, touching
Cuban matters.
Chairman Grant, of the state
executive committee, is emphatic
in his declaration as to the rights
OF the respective delegates APP
pointed by the two republican
conventions held in the Twelfth
district. Basing his opinion upon
right and precedence, he clearly
establishes that the Fredericks-
burg fiasco was simply fake, and
that the convention held at Mis-
sion Garden is the only body that
can receive recognition at the
hands Of the proper judges, to pass
upon the merits Of the contro-
versy.
Has Quincy selected the San An
tonic Express as his official organ?
From the incessant efforts OF that
mercurial sheet to boom the sable
statesman, painting In eloquent
terms his few virtues and religious
ly concealing his vices, the infer
ence Is irresistible that Cuney's
visits to San Antonio have "con-
jured" the Express as well as the
patricians.
The attempt of the Allison BOOM
ers to purchase the vote of the re-
publicans of Texas will end in
failure, after entailing the expen-
diture OF a large sum OF money.
But some OF the boomers, Of course,
will be material gainers-pecuniar-
lily. THIRD WARD.
