The Waco daily examiner. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 187?-1888, 1885-04-09


There was somebody badly showed
under on Tuesday. There were sew
cral candidates and one newspaper to
dig out ofthc white drifts yesterday
morning, but the name of the news
paper was not Examiner. The Day |
for that sort of operation has not
come yet There were good many |
ill-naturcd things said and done by |
the gentlemen in the race, who i'm |
agincd they had sufficient claim on Ms
to insure our support without re
muneration. Doubtless they had
sufficient merit for the places they
aspircd to, but the people evidently
did not think so, neither did the FIX
AMIN ER, and not having the nerve TO
advertise sufficiently, the white beau
timl" dri1cd high over their towering
aspirations. aud We have not the
least sign of tear to shed, but
neither will we mock now that their
evil day has come, and passed, we
sincerely hope The cartooniat build
ed wiser than he knew. lie only
made Que slight mistake. Had he re-
yerscd the positions in the race of
IImchmnn and Sturgi4, he'd have had
it down fine. As it is, he was near
enough to the truth, the dear only
| knows too near for the peace of mind
of some of the participants and their
| hackers, who were willing and did
put up money on the result. The
| blessed little Day has our sincere
sympathy, but then the Day I'M
| like the defeated candidates, does
not mourn as do those without
comfort. 1t had the wisdom
TO charge for its advocacy of men in
this race, and has done well, we are
glad to believe. The Day, like the
EXAMINEH, had its private opinions
ON the subject of bonding. 1t urged
them mildly and in good taste, and
with due Difference TO the opinions OF
those ofil, patrons who differed from
| il. Unlike the ENAMINER, the Day
was on the wrong side of the qucs-
ton. But ii is young, and will get
used to the thing altcrawhilc. 1t
hurts IA little at the start, but time, the
blessed CONSIDER, will fix up its hurts
and with the plentiful salying of ten
cents per line, the operation VIII NOT
be II slow or painful one, We are en-
couragcd to hope. Wcare only sorry
the bright little afternoon twinklcr
| hasn't made IA million out of the mu-
nicipal race. The gentlemen who
favor bonding are all rich, and can
well afford to pay, and We have no
sympathy for them in defeat.
Mayor wilkes wobbled little at
the beginning, but after he had dis
cardcd the bond hcrcsy fully, we felt,
confident that his other admirable
qualities would pun him through.
The only misery about it is that he
was sharp enough to see it also, and
we did not scoop the shckcl' which
