HAPPENINGS IN THE CAPITAL
CITY.
The Young Democracy-Political
Polnts-The University-Personal
Points.
Special corroipcndcnco fUn Antonio Ltght.
Al'sriN August 11 1891. Everybody
votes the Capital City of Texas a dread-
fully dull place at this particular time.
There Is a singular unanimity of opin-
ion on this point however wide the di-
vergence of views on other matters.
The oldest Inhabitant says he never saw
Austin so dull before. The mercantile
missionary drummer being a discarded
term swears long and loud because he
tells few hills and the stranger within
our gates re-echoes the general cry.
Tho hot weather doubtless and the
long drouth have something to do with
the depression and help to give the
Capital City Its wearied listless ennui
appearance.
Perhaps the LiaiiT'a readers would like
to know at this Juncture of political ex-
citement what Is going on In this re-
spect nt the capital. Thero la a great
deal of talk but really little enthusi-
asm and earnestness save perhaps on
the part of candidates for olllco. About
three weeks ago the Young Men's
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
convened with a tolerably fair attend-
ance at the County court house. They
made n great flourish of trumpets and a
number of aspiring young orators all
tried to occupy the floor at the same
time to tell how Cleveland was going
to save the country and down Jim
Blaine when tho "Ides of November
should roll around." All of them wero
eager to do and dare In the blessed
Democratlo cause. Most of them how-
ever wanted to speak and so It was
about 12:30 o'clock when the meeting
adjourned. Thero was a little discord
observable owing to the fact that some
rather aged Democrats came In and as
they wanted to speak too the youngsters
kicked and these veteran expounders
of Jeffersonlan principles were given to
understand that the
YOCNO MEN
preferred to run the machine without
any help from the patriarchs. Some
feeling thus arose and on the next meet-
ing the attendance wasn't half so large.
Still the V. D. were not discouraged.
Again the walls rang with the eloquence
of sllvery-tongued young Democrats
and a score of speakers concluded their
Ciceronian harrangues by declaring that
Cleveland was destined to defeat the
"Plumed Knight" when the "Ides
of November came." A third
time they met. There were Just nine
men present but each man was an ora-
tor. One would rise and tell how the
entire ticket State and national would
sweep everything before It like aoyclone;
then he would tip-toe gently out of the
hall. Another would arise and dupli-
cate the previous eloquence and he too
would gently withdraw. This was kept
up till only one man was left. It was
IKE NIILKIXS
the correspondent of the San Antonio
Express. Mr. Plillklns arose and began:
Fellow Demo when suddenly be-
thinking himself of the deserted cham-
ber he took a fresh start. There being
no one present to yell for the previous
question Ike kept up the racket for an
hour and a half and wound up with a
glowing peroration In which he pre-
dicted Cleveland's triumph on the
" Ides of November." The club ls'thus
In a fair way to climb the golden stairs
and the cause of Its premature death Is
too great an abundanco of silver-tongued
young orators. Tho
KETCnLICAN CONVENTION
of this county met last Saturday and en-
dorsed candidates for county olllces.
Judge J. 1). Hector called the meet-
ing to order and Mr. Max Maas was
elected Chairman. No recommenda-
tions wero made for the olllces of Dis-
trict Judge or Senator but Colonel
llingham Trigg of this olty was en-
dorsed for District Attorney. It Is
quite probable that Colonel Trigg will
make the raoe and If this is the case he
will make a vigorous fight. The De-
mocracy here are quite badly split up
over the selection of Congressman from
this district. It seems however that a
majority favor
I10X. JOStnl 8AYEK9
of Bastrop while n strong but Influen-
tial minority warmly advocate the nom-
ination of Major J. T. llraokcnrldge of
this city. So a dead lock at the New
llraunfels convention next Thursday is
an extremely likely event.

The Second Game a Walk-Over for
our Guests.
The second game of base ball between
tihe Sunsets and Nationals of Houston
was played at the Sunset ball grounds
.at the springs yesterday afternoon the
game being called at S o'clock with the
Sunsets at bat. Some very sharp work
was exhibited on both sides though It
-was evident the Nationals were a llttlo
too heavy particularly In batting for
the Sunsets. The Nationals seemed to
be able to "get onto" the Sunset pitcher
though he was changed three times
Flanders MoKale and Palmer succes-
sively occupying the box. Indeed the
battery of the Nationals Is far too strong
for the Sunsets who were almost wholly
unable to knock the pitcher. Smith who
puts In a very swift curved ball which
Hanlon catcher never lets pass. A
word of praise must be given the gamey
little first baseman of tho visitors Cook-
son who although a mere boy of 17
years Is a phenomenal catcher. Ho
needs great training at tho bat however.
For the Sunsets Carrlgan first base no-
quitted himself well putting out seven
men and making no errors. Sanderson
the new centre fielder from Illinois Is a
pretty all around player and showed on
well for his Hut game on new ground.
The Sunsets third base Is weak and
so Is tho battery which should be
strengthened by a change for each man.
Of the casualties of the game there
were one or two the most serious being
the breaking of an ankle by Mr. George
Halns the right flelder of the Nationals
during the game. In making a homo
tally he slipped and fell at the homo
plate and broke his right ankle Just
above the Instep. A surgeon was sum-
moned wboset and bandaged the broken
member and the sufferer was taken to
bis hotel In a hack. Mr. J. C. Maybry
a San Antonio boy volunteered to take
bis place In the nine and ably tilled It
making one very good run. Smoky the
catcher for the Sunsets also got a very
foul tip while at bat; the ball struck
with great force on his forehead but
'did not disable him.
Tho Houstons and Sunsets are both
well captained both well up In tho
rules and If the Sunsets were heavier
batsmen would make an even game.
The battery of the Nationals It Is said
will be changed to-day. and the Sunsets
say they will have a first-class change
pitcher. The following Is the score:
