There probably has never been an elec-
tion in this city that money was not
used to “influence votes.” There
are always legitimate expenses attaching
to every campaign, but the man who at-
tempts to buy votes is a public enemy
and fit only for the zebra suit and the
sugar plantation under guard. The man
who is so weak or depraved as to sell his
vote for a few paltry dollars is an object
of pity or contempt,but the sharper—the
political fakir- who purchases it is the
bigger rascal of the two and it is upon
him that the heaviest punishment should
fall.
No matter what Prices other houses advertise, we can and do undersell them.

Slowly but surely the city is filling up
with manufactories large and small, and
the prospects are that before another half
dozen years the Island City will be the
manufacturing as well as the commercial
cehter of the great southwest. The
Home Clothing Factory, located at No.
70 west Market street and under the effi-
cient management of Mr. R. G. Sydow, is
an institution which is a newcomer
among us but which has already won its
way to popular favor. It furnishes steady
employment to twenty hands and is turn-
ing out work equal to eastern manufac-
tories and at exceedingly low prices. It is
manufacturing natty summer suits for
$2.50 and elegant suits for $10, while
perfect fits are guaranteed or no pay
asked. All goods are warranted strictly
as represented. Every man should pat-
ronize home industry when possible and
especially so when he can save money by
so doing. Evening Tribune predicts
^unbounded success for the Home Cloth-
ing factory.

PRISONERS SENTENCED.
In the criminal court to-day George
Washington was sentenced to the peni-

bery; Dan Brown, seven years for assault

The so-called Democratic alder manic
ticket seems to have been almost entirely
lost sight of in this campaign. It is sup-
posed to be still in the field but one
hardly suspicions, it so little attention
does it attract. Like Caesar dead, there
seems to be none so poor as to do it
honor. The very men who placed the
ticket in nomination ridicule and revile
it. “Are the men who compose the con-
vention supporting the ticket put forth?”
asked a reporter of a delegate yesterday.
“Oh, yes, we are supporting it in your
mind,” was the flippent reply. “Good
enough ticket of its kind, but an awful
poor kind,” remarked another, I want
to see Malloy and the Citizens’ ticket
win.” remarked another. The reporter
suggested that as their was a Demo-
cratic candidate in the field with
the party trade mark blown in
the wrapper the ex-delegate could not
consistently support a Republican, but
the gentleman who lately helped to nom-
inate Marlow, et als., only laughed him
to scorn and demanded to know “What
are we here for?” The so-called Demo-
cratic aldermanic ticket is looked upon
by many of the men who are responsible
for it as. a collossal joke. They admit
that it stands no more show of election
than Ben Butler does of being president.
The election of the Citizens’ ticket in its
entirety is now conceded on all sides and
this foregone conclusion gives business a
fresh impetus, strengthens men’s faith in
the future greatness of the city and the
perpetuation of good and economical gov-
ernment. ’

In the hurly-burly of politics the more
important subject of artesian water is
lost sight of. It must not be inferred
from this that the artesian well at the
Santa Fe shops has ceased flowing. Day
and night a two-inch stream of clear and
almost pure water is coming from the
depths below and flowing silently away
into the bay—that is all but what is used
in the switch engines and for other pur-
poses about the shops. The reporter was
so fortunate as to capture W. H. Reilly,
master mechanic of the Santa Fe, on
Market street.’
“Yes,” he answered, “the flow of
water is about the same as it was when
first opened and the water is constantly
freshening.”
“Are you using the water for mechan-
ical purposes?”
“It is used exclusively in the switch
engines and is entirely satisfactory. Yes,
I am satisfied that the water will prove
satisfactory for all purposes and the flow
affords more water than we can possibly
use.”
Mr. Reilly was very positive in his
opinion as to the quality of the water and
his opinion is good and competent
authority.
So it would seem that the croakers
may hang their harps up for the present.
Galveston has plenty of water under it
for all purposes and the day is not far
distant when water Mfill be flowing along
the gutters of our streets. The water
from this well has been raised to a height
of thirty-eight feet. The story is told
that when water was first strucls and the
seven-inch pipe was lowered the lower
end rested about thirty-seven feet above
where it now rests. While the work of
scouring was going on the thirty-seven-
inch pipe suddenly dropped, and when
the workmen commenced fishing for it
was found thirty-seven feet down and the
theory is that there is a strata of water
nearly or quite thirty feet in depth lying
between two stratas of clay. This theory
is borne out by the evidence. When the
seven-inch pipe was first let down it
rested upon what appeared to be a strong-
clay bottom, but the fact that it dropped
the distance it did proves it was resting
on a clay crust overlaying a strata of
water from thirty to thirty-five feet deep.
The two-inch flushing pipe was dropped
to the same bottom that the seven-inch
pipe had dropped to and when with-
drawn between two and three feet of
clay was found in the lower end of the
pipe. It is believed, with good reason,
that the bottom of the pipe in the Santa
Fe well lies in a strata of water not less
than thirty feet in depth, and laying be-
tween clay formations.
* * •
The work of sinking the artesian well
at the Electric^ Light station will com-
mence as soon as the pipe arrives and it
is believed that water will be reached in-
side of thirty days. Other wells will be
put down as rapidly as possible.
* * *
Our people may not realize the fact
but it is a fact nevertheless that the dis-
covery of fresh water at this depth is of
more importance and advantage to Gal-
veston than thirty feet of water on the 1
bar.

IfTW'
General John M. Claiborne is a charac-
ter in his way. He is never afraid to
speak right out in meeting, and when he
does speak he is apt to say something
startling if not sensible. When General
John is not harranguing his fellow-citi-
zens from the stump he is very apt to be
found dashing off a few original thoug ths
for the public prints. The general is also
an artist in his way, and there is no
danger of the American sovereign for-
getting his existence while he has the
strength left to make a speech or wield a
faber. Evening Tribune likes General
John. It believes him to be a jolly good
fellow, but it is not disposed, like too
many others, to laugh at his antics.
It views his political gyrations mere
in a spirit of melancholy, not to say
chronic sadness than as a free-for-all var-
iety show for the amusement of the gen-
eral public. But his last performance is
exceptionally ridiculous, even for General
John, and is dese-ving of passing men-
tion^ He writes to a morning paper sup-
posed to have an office in this city and a
circulation somewhere in interior Texas,
to suggest that there are too many Dem-
ocratic candidates for mayor in the field.
He suggests that with so many simon-
pure Jeffersonians snatching for the plum
that a rank Republican is liable to walk
off with the bun. In fact he says that
unless something is done and that quickly
to center the votes of true Democracy on
one candidate that Malloy will be
OUR NEXT MAYOR.
He suggests that a Democratic mass meet-
ing be called, that each candidate go be-
fore it and make a statement of his
claims, and then let a majority of the
meeting determine who shall be the Dem-
ocratic candidate against the Republican
candidate. The«,General seems to forget
two very important things. First, that
it is the opinion of a majority of the vot-
ers of Galveston that party lines should
cut no figure in municipal elections but
that the best men should be selected ir-
respective of their party trade-mark.
Second, that a Democratic convention
was held at Turner hall and a candidate
for mayor and a board of aidermen nomin-
ated in due form. He forgets that he failed
to go before that Democratic convention
but preferred to makfe an
INDEPENDENT RACE.
He forgets that while this convention
was representative of neither the great
Democi atic party or the better element
of Galveston people it was composed of
almost identically the same men who
nominated him for state senator. Thgt
nomination was good enough for him.
Would he not have impeached the Dem-
ocracy of any man making an independ-
ent race against him ? Yet here we find
him utterly ignoring the action of the
same men in convention assembled when
they place another man in nomination
for the office which he seeks. If the
convention was Democratic and repre-
sentative that nominated him for state
senator why was it not equally so when it
nominated Hawley for Mayor? The Gen-
eral should obtain a consistency motto
and study it well. Again, he claims that
as matters now stand Malloy will get
2000 votes. He evidently learns nothing
from history. In the race for sheriff last
fall there were fiye candidates in the field.-
Tiernan, one of the most popular men on
the island, was elected, yet he received
but 1900 votes in the city out of 5553.
Ketchum, a Republican, and certainly as
popular a« Malloy, received but 1195
votes in the city. Jordan received 1236,
Owens 565 and Jennett. 758. There are
six mayoralty candidates in the field and
if a popular Republican could not
get 1200 votes in a five-cornered race
in a county election, where by the very
nature of things party lines must have
more or less influence, how is Malloy to
get 2000 votes in a
SIX CORNERED RACE
where party lines are almost utterly
ignored? The General is modest in say-
ing that he (Claiborne) will not get
more than 1500 votes. If he had
left off the first’ figure ’he would
have been much ’ nearer the mark.
But if the General is a consistent dyed-in-
the-wool Democrat he cannot consistently
remain in the race after he has publicly
admitted that he stands no show of suc-
cess and that his candidacy will only
help a Republican to office. Let him
prove his much-vaunted Democracy by
withdrawing and thus save himself the.
imputation of having run against the
Democratic nominee.

Suppose that the so-called Democratic
ticket should be elected, would not a
complete change in city employes imme-
diately follow ? No civil service reform
nonsense troubles the convention candi-
dates. They are “what-are-we-here-for”
men from the jump. The very first line
in their political creed is that well-
known sentence, “To the victors belong
the spoils.” The police force would at
once be overhauled and inexperienced
men substituted for the men with whom
enforcing laws has become almost, if not
altogether, a profession. The fire de-
partment would receive a thorough
“turning over”--it would be turned over
to the friends of the hoodlum candidates
in cancellation of political debts. The
present force is an able, well-trained,
sober and reliable one. It consists of ex-
perienced men. What kind of a gang of
incompetents would be allowed to “run
wid der masheen” at so much per month
if the hoodlums reached up and
grasped the reins of power ?
These are questions worthy of seri-
ous consideration by all—they are being
seriously considered by the insurance men
and many property owners. The general
opinion seems to be that the only safe
course lies in electing the citizens’ ticket
in its entirety—men who believe that
competency and trustworthiness should
be the only consideration in electing pub-
lic servants.
