I The Rival Committees.
At the present writing there are
two Committees in charge of the re-
publican party of Bexar county.
Mr. Chas. Sauer heads one and [Mr.
Terrell the other. Mr. Sauer's
committee represents the party, and
favors the holding of a county con-
vention.! Mr. Terrell's committee
represents the Federal office holders
and those republicans wtío favor no
convjention. ^ : J|
The best thing to be done is for
all parties to agree to a conven tion
and }et that convention reorganize
the ]>arty.
To get at this let Mr. Sauer ball
a convention.
Oar Chairman•
Hon. Lock McDaniel, our state
chairman, must have a peculiar
satisfaction in His election. He
was an applicant for a federal posi-
tion! at the hands of President Har-
rison, biit was set aside at the in-
stance of Col. Degress, the retiring
in. He came here without
of the federal patron*

Thé Great Convention.
The republican-state convention
recently held in our city, may be
justly termed the greatest conven-
tion held in Texas this year.
There were present delegates
from a majority of the counties in
the state, including the most popu-
lous.
The presence of a large

bility; f of commercial and bu
sfcandiiigf; men of earnest and
otic views, and men of brains
particularly gratifying. _
The full attendance of negro del-
egates was due to the exertions of
the federal office holders mainly,
and while outnumbering the Whites
yet the evidence was there that the
party is growing from under negro
domination, and that even the ex-
ercise of federal patronage and au-
thority is not ^-sufficient to j keep
down the inevitable determination
of the white republicans to take
charge of the party.
The convention was greát be^
cause it proved that the republican
party w^s able to dispute the su-
premacy of the democratic party in
the state, an4 is the only organized
political party that has any claim
to the support of the people otitsic
of thé democratic party.

The Trades That Fell Through.
The first trade that Coney made
was with the Dallas federal office
contingent, Hatvley, for temj>orajr^
chairman^ and McCormack for
chairman of the executive commit-
tee. J
Col. DeGress discovered this
conspiracy when Mc-Cormack nom-

it off. He was there, backtid by
more federal office patronage than
Cuney, and he wanted to have his
course as chairman vindicated by
his own re-election to the chair-
manship of the committee. In fact
Mr. Harrison's administration was
on trial before the republican party
of the state.
Cuney soon discovered that Be-
Gress had the largest following of
administration appointees, and that
unless they joined forces both of
them would go down.
The election of Sam J. Wri jht as
permanent chairman was a triumph
for the dnti-Cuney and auti-De-
Gress crowd.
So the astute DeGress and the
cunning Cuney joined hands.
The other trade was Ogden for
governor and DeGress for chairman
of the executive committee.

Such respectable republicans as
have upon repeated occasions lent
their names in fruitles s attempts to
overthrow existing prejudices, will
bear evidence to the
this statement. How
condition of things ensure? Are we
of the south—-who bajve divergent
interests, and who differ in our
economic ideas with the free trade
doctrinaires to continue in the patlf
of ruin and destruction to our horiie
interests.'' | r, i
The Doctor discuasejsat length in
a very able way the J rice prejudice
that to-day stands in t íeway of our
material interests in ti e south. He
proposes this plan as leading to a
ty.' The colored element would be
free to form their own political or-
ganizations and alliances. The di-
visions of the colored vote under
such a plan—would be tantamount
of dividing the white vote. It will
be objected that the entire colored
vote would be transferred to ¡the
ranks of the democratic party.
Were this to occur, would it change
the result of the 'solid south,' so
far as republican representation is
concerned? Would not th*shifting
of the colored vote transfer existing
prejudices now operating against
the republican party, to the demo-
cratic party? Would the colored
element be entitled to more at the
hands of the democratic party after
their change of front? What could
prompt them to join the opponents
of protection. If not already aware
of the fact, would) they not soon
learn, under a liberal system of ed-
ucation, thai their interests are inti-
matel linked with the great indus-
trial interests of the country—which

Did It Pay?
. Did the republican state conven-
tion pay ? Most assuredly it did.
It is estimated that the
presence of the thousand
netted our city oWr $20,000. T^Us
money has gone into circulátíon
and has brightened a dull week in
our city. To the Republican
League club alone is due all the
credit.

The inquiry is made, how <^id
Parson Messmer come to l>e a mem -

formed that he elected himself.
Bexar county,sent 110 delegates to
the senatorial convention, and the
convention so held was self const i -
tuted. Messmer represients but a
very small clique here, and his
presefice on the state committee is
a damage to the republican party.
A senatorial convention should be
called. The republican county

consider a county ticket should put
