Rcp,-The "dear pcoplep would like
10 hear from you on The election ques-
ton. Have you anything that you de-
sire TO say TO the people through the
columns of THE IlERALD?
Gen. C.--I hardly know that have
much to say. My past administration
N the best guarantee that | can give
the people Of my future course, | claim
that tie nllhirs of the city have been
honestly aud economically managed
the city debt hnS been decreased, not
withstnnding number Of needed and
substantial Improvements have been
made, and many streets opened, In
volving considerable outlay.
Rep, General, what about the city
finances? You must certainly be aware
that your opponents are making II
strong point against you In regard TO
the great depreciation In city scrip.
Gen. C.-Yes, know they are; but
II the people viii wait with patience u
short time, matters will come out all
right. The new assessment has been
made honestly and equitably, and Is
sufficient, when collected, TO place the
city's credit at par, or nearly so. The
next three months, ] am confident
will bring matters all right, and make
city scrip command its face value. AS
matters now stand, | am willing to
place the financial status of the city
against that of the county, and leave
to any unparalleled person whi,h has
been managed the most honestly and
economically. l claim, sir, that my
administration has been most ben
ehcial to Dallas. When / assumed the
Office of mayor, Dallas was compar-
atively unknown; now, sir, she Is
known and recognized as one of, ii not
the leading city of Texas. | can point
with pride to her reputation at home
and abroad; to her excellent police and
fire departments; her well kept streets,
and the orderly and law-abiding con-
duet of her citizens; to her moral as
well as sanitary condition, and leave
the rest to my friends and the citizens
of Dallas.
