Political chatter and ads color Texas politics in 1886
President Cleveland's tariff remarks drift as a whisper while parties court influence from big business. A $50 for arrest of land encroachment and $100 for a fence-cutter hints at corporate sway. Tax Houston Age rivals ads after boycotts, and the Del Rio Dot notes San Antonio's new opera house venture. Carrizo Springs Times debuts under W. H. Howard. Texas harbor appropriations spark Galveston influence. Democrats roast Cleveland while Republicans unite for a busy congressional season.
Labor Federation Decries Boycotts in Washington Session
The Labor Federation meeting in Washington condemns boycotts as dangerous and calls for laws against organized labor espionage. It urges Congress to pass a law and the president to dismiss Judge Snell for hostility to unions, and to enforce the eight hour law. The piece also covers the Nuevo Leon crisis, Diaz appointing General Reyes as provisional governor after a fatal clash, and praises Captain Kenedy of Corpus Christi for backing the San Antonio to Aransas Pass railroad project.
