CATTLE-After the big receipts of yes
terday today,,s run seemed very light. 1t
ers acted hat there was enough 10 meet
all requirements, so that the market was
slow and weak from start to finish. There
was not so much change from yesterday in
the prices paid, but packers were very
Indifferent buyers.
The bulk Of the receipts consisted of beef
steers and the quality was good, the same
as II has been for some time past. The
market was slow in opening and packers
Sellers, though, were holding for steady
prices, and the most of the cattle that
changed hands sold that way. 1t was hard
though offerings were light it was late be-
fore anything like a clearance was made.
As compared with the high time, the ma
Jority of statesmen called today's market
4Gd50c lower than the high time. Some
thought the best cattle had not declined
steers are safely 4Oq5Oc lower than the
The cow market was also slow today. but
was by nc means firm, and the tendency
was to pound the market wherever posi-
BILE. Some sales looked a little lower, but
close to steady prices for the desirable
grades. There were comparatively few
but 1t was late before they were out Of
first hands. A very choice heifer sold as
high as 800, but she was better than any
thing that has been seen here in a long
time.
There was not enough change from yes
terday In the prices paid for bulls, veal
calves and stays to be worthy of mention.
While prices held about steady trade was
by no means active.
There were only a few stockers and feed
ers in the yards, and as the demand from
the country remains very light the market
stun sold without much trouble, but COM
mon grades were neglected. the same as
usual. Yesterday there were only n dozen
loads shipped to the country. Representa-
tive sales:

performer From having his 'paper
made" reputation dimmed it has
gradually faded until his short
comings are today apparent wher-
ever he has spoken.
In this connection it may also be
mentioned that wherever he has APP
peared and delivered addresses
Garner votes have multiplied with
remarkable rapidity. Wherever he
has been in the district, without
making an address he has weaken
ed his cause. The fallacy of making
lion out of a lamb has been real
lied by the republicans
| said Judge Garner has been a
surprise to both his friends and his
enemies. He has been a most un-
pleasant surprise to his enemies.
When the campaign was still young
and before Judge Garner and Mr..
Scott had crossed swords, the re-
pubicans were laughing in their
sleeves.
"Scott Will make him look like a
perforated counterfeit coin," they
said.

San Antonio, Texas, October %
1t is learned from a most reliable
authority tonight that at tonight's
conference between the republicans
it was decided to pull Scott off the
stump. His manifest weakness as
compared with Judge Garner is said
to be responsible for this action.
A conference between the repub-
lican leaders, Lyon, Maris, Atwell
and Ogden, was held in the parlors
of the Menger hotel this afternoon
relative to the situation in the
Fifteenth congressional district.
After the conference Atwell an
nounced that no one could tell wha /
the outcome of the election would
be. Ten days ago the republicans
were claiming the district by sever.
al thousand majority Lyon re-
fused to make a statement, save
that SCOTS chances were very good.
He declined to 90 into details.
The publication of Luby's letter
in Tuesdays Post has created con-
sternation in republican ranks.
Lyon doubted its authority until
shown the letter. 1t is understood
that those Republican office holders
who have contributed toward the
fund now fear. their jobs have been
endangered.
1t can also be stated that Collect
or Dove at Eagle Pass has scented
q rat and has issued verbal ukase
against the civil service men under
him making further contributions
to the Scott campaign fund in re-
Spouse to Luby's circular letter. 1t
will be remembered Drake was re-
moved from the Eagle Pass collec-
torship for violation of civil service
rules.

GARNER FOOLED THEM.

They are not making such state
ments today. Judge Gamers bril-
liant speeches, his unanswerable
arguments, his dignified demeanor
have SO dwarfed the republican can
didate that wherever a voter pauses
to compare the abilities or the quail
tiles of the two aspirants, a Garner
adherent is the result.
1t is but natural that where
there is so great leverage in Judge
Gamers favor as between his abil-
tiles and the abilities of Mr.. Scott,
the republicans would attempt
some ruse to gain their point. They
have fallen back upon one of the
cardinal principles of the grand
old party-the power of gold. They
are endeayoring to purchase, with
the aid of a slush fund wrung from
Federal office holders, the votes
which the talent of Mr., Scott could
neither gain nor keep.
| know that an amount running
well into the thousands of dollars
has been wrung from Federal office
holders in the custom departments
alone. [ know that every postmas-
ter in the district has been intimi-
dated for campaign purposes and l
know these postmasters-and other
Federal office holders who have
put their oath taken when they en-
tered the civil service above par
tisan p6litics-have received hints
that unless the kitty was sweeten-
ed" matters would become more or
less hot for them.

ADVANCE NOTICES:

The beginning of the campaign
saw John C. Scott her3lded from
one end of the district to the other
as the quintessence of all that was
good, pure and holy in political
matters. His cohorts set him upon

all men," they proclaimed without
any qualifications. The average
voter looked, in view q the ad-
vance notices, for 4 regular Daniel

began to cover the district person
ally the hale that had been placed
over his hand began to fade. In the
