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

There was somebody badly sn owed |
under ON Tuesday. There were sew
eral candidates and one newspaper to
dig out ofthe 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-natured things said and done by
the gentlemen in the race, who i'm
agined they had sufficient claim on us
to insure our support without re-
Enumeration. Doubtless they had
sufficient merit for the places they
aspired to, but the people evidently
did not think so, neither did the Ex-
ASrINER, and not having the nerve to
advertise sufficiently, the white "beau-
tiful' drifted high over their towering
aspirations, and we have not the
least sign of tear to shed, but
neither win we mock now. that their
evil day has come, and passed, we
sincerely hope. The cartoonist build
ed wiser than he knew. He only
made one slight mistake. Had he re-
versed the positions in the race of
Hiuchman and Sturgis, 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, un-
like the defeated candidates, does
not mourn as do those without
comfort. II had the wisdom
to charge for its advocacy of men in
this race, aud has done well, we are
glad to believe. The Day, like the
EXAMINER, had its private opinions
ON the subject of bonding. II urged
them mildly and in good taste, and
with due Difference to the opinions OF
those of its patrons who differed from
it. Unlike the EXAMINER, the Day
was Cd the wrong side of the ques-
ton. But it is young, and will get
used TO the thing afterawhile. II
hurts little at the start, but time, the
blessed consider, will fix up its hurts,
and with the plentiful salving of ten
cents per line, the operation will not
be a slow or painful one, we are Ell
Outraged to hope. Weare only sorry
the bright little afternoon twinkler
hasn't made a million out of the mu.
nicipal race. The gentlemen who
favor bonding are all rich, and car
well afford to pay, and VIC have nc
sympathy for them in defeat.
Mayor Wilkes wobbled little Al
the beginning, but after he had dis
: carded the bond heresy fully, we felt
confident that his other admirable
qualities would pull him through
The only misery about 1t is that hi
was sharp enough to see it also, and
we did not scoop the shekels which
otherwise we might have done. The
mayor is to be congratulated upon
, his timely change of front. There is
} one sort Of man who never changes
but Wilkes doesn't belong to thai
class, evidently.
Poor Street was showed under bad
ly. We don't mind saying now pub
licly that we are sorry fol
, IL. Not but what we have
most excellent secretary, but some
how a man on crutches and poor
could always catch us. We voted fol
Street not that we loved "Brinker'
less, but pitied Street more.
But the new council is our pride.
: There is but one pro-bond man in 1t,
and there is doubt about him even
BY the time General Speight has
preached few good orthodox anti.
bond sermons into his ears he will
come round as Wilkes did. All
levity aside, we sincerely congratulate
the city upon the fact that the prmci-
pie of bonding has been laid away in
an eternal sleep. We are done with
il finally. The expression on Tues
day was too emphatic TO leave any
further doubt In the minds of the pco-
pie. Waco Is dead against all pro-
positions to bond for any purpose.
Now let the new council 90 TO work
