office, secured very pretty, per
feet specimen.
A quantity Of brick from the
Beckmann kilns have been put
on the Commerce street trench the

offered thus far, and is hard t
beat. Its absorbent qualities ar,
nil and otherwise it more than
answers the specifications of thu

Pipe sewers will then connect will

The sewer contractors have de
cided not to use dynamite in blast

INDIGNATION POW wow
O0L0RED MEETING PRESIDED OVER
BY DIR. CLIFFORD.
They Met Last Night to Register a
Kick Speeches Were Made by
Bart Orowther, Nat Sulzbacher
and r. a. Harbert.

About fifty colored men assem-
bled in. the Neutrality-suspicious. club
rooms in the Stevens building last
night in response to a call for an in
dignation meeting. The meeting was
presided over by DR.. Clifford, and
the spokesman for the colored men
was j. 81. Holt.
The indignation was the outcome
Of the congressional convention,
held at Mission garden last Tues
day, caused by the seating Of both
the contesting Bexar delega-
tions. The meeting rejoiced in
denouncing the Lilly Whites in the
bitteret tsr ms, and used Colonel
James P. Newcomb as a special
target. The support OF Judge
Noonan for congress was solicited
and the meeting was unanimously
in favor of Judge Noonan for re-
election. 1t was solemnly predict
ed that DR.. Terrell would be seated
as chairman for Bexar county at
the convention at Fort Worth Sep
tember 8.
Chairman Clifford stated that il
Noonan is not elected the Lily
Whites will accuse the negroes Of
not having supported him and if
elected they would say to them, 81
told you So" He. satt6 the Lily
White,olr organization is not Repub-
1ican and it's aim Is to defeat the
interests of the Republican party.
He said that the greatest Republic
can in the ranks of the colored men
in Texas was N. w. Quincy and that
he deserved better treatment at
the st. Louis convention than he
received. Although squelched at
the convention, he said, he is now
working for Mckinley and Hobart
and will do everything to support
them.
A number of other speeches were
made. Bart Crowther made a
talk, which broughtloud applause.
He paid his respects to Col. New
comb in his own peculiar way.
Nat Sulzbacher made a speech
centering about Col. Newcomb and
asked the colored mems assistance
for the reelection of Judge
Noonan.
DR.. Terrell was also on hand, but
had nothing to say.
City Marshal Druse and Assist
ant Roberts sauntered in during
the meeting and took back seat,
but more than that, like the oyster
in the soup at the church fair,
they were not in it. Ed. Corbett
was there and took down some of
the minutes.
The strength of the colored vot-
ers came under discussion and it
was said that the colored vote in
San Antonio is 900 and in Bexar
county 1,4O0.
Nat. SulZbacher advised the col.
ored men to draw up a petition and
have it signed by the colored
voters OF Bexar county, denounc-
ing Col. Newcomb and present 1t
to the convention.
r. HI. Harbert gave his views of
the situation. He said the colored
man is not after pie, not after
honor, but after representation.
He said the day has arrived when
the colored man is thinking, and
he is entitled to his rights of citi-
zenship.
The LIGHT was let down easy.
The only reference made to it was
by DR.. Clifford, who said he is sur
prised that the Republican, or
rather lily white paper, should
try to keep up the row.
