San Antonio Daily Light

EDITORIAL NOTES.
From the National Liquor Dealer.
The political campaign is beginning to wax warm in San Antonio. The saloon man is more sought after than the doctor or parson.
Remember you are for sound money, sound politics, sound sense.
Remember that you are for the men who recognize the liquor men as legitimate business men.
We don't want a religious crank like Bryan to be president of the United States. We do want a liberal minded man upon a sound money platform.
We are in favor of a fair party contest, but we condemn the use of the police force to decide who is who.
The action of the police force at the Republican meeting at Mission garden is a blot upon our city government.
The tax-payers pay the police force to arrest all violators of the law, but not to sustain one faction over another at a public meeting.
The saloon men of San Antonio are the peace makers; let them be careful to treat every one alike. They won't be troubled with the free silverites very much.
Bryan has made his big speech in New York and it is a big bag of wind.
Good business men, such as saloon men, have no use for depreciated money.
The interference by the police in favor of the Ogden-Clifford-Terrell crowd at Mission garden was a great outrage.
Fulton, the Democratic opponent of Judge Noonan, has withdrawn. The judge is a sure winner.
Nat Lewis, the popular district clerk, is not guilty of sending the two car loads of Ogden negroes to the Mission garden convention. Nat has modestly kept on the fence in this convention.
Joe Kohr is the only gentleman for office who has appreciated the Liquor Dealer. Joe will not lack friends on the day that tries men's souls.
The attempt to capture the Republican county organization with a negro mob at Mission garden was a failure. The white men were there.
The use of the police to put one faction in power over another, as practiced at Mission garden on the 11th, is tyrannical and disgraceful.
Bryan has shot off his gun at New York. Now comes the facts—solid facts—No preacher business—no camp meeting enthusiasm, but the cold, argument with the people.
Notwithstanding the fact that the saloon men have paid a big state county and city tax, the city is behind so is the state. Something is wrong.
The good people of San Antonio are tired of office holders combines; they want good men for office regardless of the endorsement of the Big 4, 5 or 6.
