"THE RAIFL”
(Wagner & Chabot.)
From Our Democratic Contributor.
To the Daily Light.
With that wanton disregard for
the rights of others Bexar county
throttled the wishes of over thirty
counties for a two-third rule in the
late Congressional Democratic con-
vention; with utter disregard of
national and state platforms it
forced the nomination for congress-
man on a protection Democrat
well knowing that the protection
Ideas are Republican and not Dem-
ocratic and that if these ideas are
to prevail successfully the Re-
publican candidate deserves and
should receive our support.
It is in order now for consisten-
cy’s sake that the Republican Ex-
ecutive committee of Bexur coun-
ty endorse the action of its so-
called Democratic brethren but
inasmuch as there is a call for a
Republican convention the very
great likelihood is that instead of
endorsing the Democratic nominee
they will make a nomination of
their own and so arrange matters
that the next Texas delegation to
Congress will not all sit on the
same side of the aisle.
The Democracy — straight — of
Bexar county failing of recogni-
tion is free after giving loyal sup-
port to the nominees on the state
platformwith w hich they are in full
accord to vote for either the Dem-
ocratic or Republican nominee for
Congress since that nominee is
outside of its party tenets. I for
one prefer the genuine honest pro-
tectionist to the one who I believe ।
merely announces himself so for j
the sake of catching votes. The ;
outlook has never been more fav-:
orable for a Republican congress-
man provided a popular man like
Judge Noonan gets the nomina-
tion —than at present; for counties
that will remain in the Democra-
tic column will make an excep-
tion on the congressman and tell
Mr. Huntington that there are
enough railroad attorneys in Con-
gress already.
Straight Democrat.
Mr. W. A. Fitch of Eagle Pass
is at the Southern hotel. “Large
importations of wool” he remarked
to a Light reporter “are coming
over from Mexico. This wool will
be marketed on this side and add
materially to our resources.” He
thinks the Wilson bill a good
measure.
TUBE AND WHOLESOME QUALITY
Commends to public approval the
California liquid laxative remedy
Syrup of Figs. It is pleasant to
the taste and by acting gently on
the kidneys liver and bowels
cleanses the system effectually It
promotes the health and comfort
of all who use it and with millions
it is the best and only remedy.

cert at Mission Garden tomorrow
■ight by Carl Beck’s orchestra.
SHORT SNAPPERS.
Oh what a soft snap.
Judge Noonan will now have a
walk-over.
Medina will now get back into
the ranks of the G.O.P. with about
six hundred majority.
Put down Bandera Kerr and
Kendall for a handsome majority
for Noonan.
Comal county will now come
back to its old friends and will
vote for Noonan.
The Express people are the only
ones who saw any of the harmony
in the convention yesterday.
If the Big Four dare to fight
Noonan the people will swamp the
whole lot of them.
Vai VerdeKinney and Maverick
counties will roll up a big majority
for Noonan.
The Simon-pure-big-three Demo-
cracy got “scorched” again yester-
day.
The A. P. A. can best help the
tree trade candidate in this district
by keeping their mouths shut.
Though the Vernprites are
knocked out again they are still
solid with Cleveland.
Geo. H. Noonan can carry the
2th district by from 3000 to 5000
majority.
The story about Col. Gus. Hous-
ton working on a farm will not
catch any labor votes.
Noonan will now carry every
county west of San Antonio and
mt old Bexar dow'n for 3000 ma-
ority.
One delegate from the west said
ast night: “They crammed him
down our throats; lam bound per-
sonally but I have over a hundred
votes for Noonan.
Col. Gus Houston says the Geo.
Clark free trade Dallas platform
is broad enough for him to straddle
on.
If the Big 4 open their mouths
against Noonan they will find the
friends who voted for sewers will
hit where it will be felt.
The wool-pulling circus between
the colored bosses begins at Dal-
las next Tuesday. There will be
very few white sheep in this herd.
Col. Gus Houston’s straddle on
the wool and cattle interests is too
late. The free trade bill has passed.
Only a Republican can do us any
good now.
The convention yesterday
straddled all over the free trade
platform and the Express this
morning talks about how badly the
free wool advocates were left.
The Southern Pacific Railway
company has controlled politics in
California for many years but
their influence will not save the
free trade candidate against Geo.
H. Noonan.
The New Central Market
Situated on the beautiful grounds
known as Bowen’s Island in the
heart of the city and accessible
from three different points has
been selected and leased by the
San Antonio Gardeners’ associa-
tion for a term of five years for
the purpose of a union market
where gardeners farmers huck-
sters and all dealers in produce
can sell or buy everything mar-
ketable in a fair and ligitimate
manner.
When the public at large
whether afoot or in carriages can
purchase their meat fish veget-
ables fruit etc. in the shade
without the necessity of having to
remain in the hot broiling sun to
be waited on the change is much
for the better.
A reporter for the Light visited
the market yesterdayand was con-
ducted through the grounds by the
president Mr. Louis Layer and the
secretary Mr. Chas. Wesenberg
who fully explained the ob-
jects and benefits of those belong-
ing to the Gardeners’ association.
Many improvements and new
buildings are going up drive-ways
are constructed and everything
made to look clean and inviting.
The grounds throughout will be
lighted with electricity and a tele-
phone will be put in the office for
the convenience of members as
well as customers who wish to or-
der from home. Farmers having
produce to sell can find ample room
to camp on the grounds where
feed water and shade for the ani-
mals can be had.
“We hope this venture wiil prove
a success” said Mr. Layer; “and if
fair treatment and honest dealings
can gain the confidence and pat-
ronage of a generous public we in-
tend building up a market second
to none in the state.”
“You can also state that the
grounds are free to all having any
produce to sell up to September Ist.
After that the nominal charge of
$1.50 per month will be made.

gation Captures the Vote for
Their Man.
As forecast in the Light yesterday

terday afternoon nominated by the Dem-
ocratic convention for the 12th district to
make the race for Congress.
The vote after the adoption of the ma-
jority rule was as follows:
Houston .54 Paschal 17 Goggin 13.
On re-assembling in the afternoon re-
ports of the three committees were first
presented.
Permanent organization reported In
favor of adopting the temporary organi-
zation. 'This was done.
The committee also reported in favor
of adopting the majority rule. A
minority report was presented on
this. A long followed
upon the question of adoption of the ma-
jority rule. A vote was finally taken
which resulted in the adoption of the
majority report by a vote of 35% against
■ ■
The platform committee reported in
favor of adopting the platform of the
State Democratic convention. A minor-
ity report on this' was presented. This
report was tabled and the majority' re-
port was adopted by a vote of 46 & 6
ag&instl? 1-6.
Committee on resolutions reported as
follows:
That we deplore the abuse of appoint-
ive offices for partisan purposes ano that
in the Democratic principle
that '‘public office is a public trust” we
demand the fullest enforcement of the
existing civil service laws and their ex-
tension to every branch of the public ser-
vice. and that we endorse liepresentative
Bailey’s bill now pending before Con-
gress. which is designed to prevent mem-
bers of the National Legislature acting
as brokers for applicants for appoint-
ment in the civil service.
Resolved That we deprecate the fa-
vor shown the lead trust tn the Senate
tariff bill and that we demand the aboli-
tion of all tariff tax on lead ores.
Resolved That It is the sense of this
convention that the National govern-
ment should reserve the right to buy any
patent that many hereafter be issued by
the government tinder rules and regula-
tions to be prescribed by law.
Resolved That the nominee of this
convention shall support all efforts made
in the next House of Representatives to
suppress the dealing in futures in cotton
wneat corn and meat.
This report was not adopted.

chal and Hon. James M. 'Joggin were
then nominated. Houston was elected.

was chosen as chairman of the Twelfth

tee. He was instructed to appoint seven
members of the committee.
The convention then adjourned.
The counties which wanted the two-
third rule adopted were greatly dissatis-
fied with the result and many significant
growls were heard.
The general oninton seems to be that
Mr. Houston is the best man the Demo-
crats can put up but all concede that
Judge Noonan can beat him easily and
all seem to be glad that there will be a
Republican Congressman in the House
from Southwest Texas.

MEXICO’S PROGRESS.
Senor Madero Member of Congress
t peaks of the Growth of His
State
Senor Jose Maria Cardenas Ma-
dero the Mexican congressman
from Toluca Mexico was asked
yesterday by a Light reporter a
few questions about the condition
of his part of the Republic the
State of Mexico. He said:
“Under the administration of the
present governor Hon. Jose Vi-
cente Villada Mexico is very pro-
gressive. He has raised the stand-
ard of the public schools to a very
high degree of excellence. Indeed
they will now compare favorably
with the schools of the United
States and Europe. English and
German branches are taught as
well as the Spanish.
“We have fine crops this year
and have had abundant rains. Our
principal crops are corn wheat
oats and hava.
“The altitude of the state is 17-
300 feet above the level of the sea.
The temperature ranges from 58 to
64 degrees the year round and we
are very healthy. The City of To-
luca I think is the cleanest in the
world.
“We have a large number of
Americans in our state mostly
agriculturists stockmen and mer-
chants. Foreigners are afforded
equal protection with the natives
under the law and their taxes are
no higher.
“In six .years the city of Toluca
has made over $1000000 worth of
public improvements while in the
state we are building railroads as
fast as we can. The Tehuantepec
railway across the continent is
now finished owing to the speed-
ing of it by President Diaz and he
is now urging forward the Inter-
oceanic which will have its termi-
nus at Acapulco.”
Returned From the Resorts.
Dr. W R. Patrick a leading phy-
sician of Brackett is in the city
accompanied by his wife and stop-
ping at the Mahncke. They have
just returned from an extensive
pleasure trip through the north
and east having visited such re-
sorts as Niagara Falls Montreal
LewistonSaratoga Long Branch
Coney Island Ocean View Atlan-
tic City Asbury Park Cape May
and other places. The doctor says
it was the first visit north in two
years and that Niagara Falls nor
Long Branch nor Coney Island are
as popular now as formerly. Those
three plaaes are deserted compared
to Atlantic City anti Asbury Park.
The cause of it he says is attribut-
ed to the enormous high prices
charged for everything at Long
Branch Coney Island and Niagara
Falls.
