The Waco daily examiner. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 187?-1888, 1885-06-04
Equal DivisiOn'

Y The News believes in the equal and
symmetrical development Of Texas, at
least it says so, but when it comes to
an equal and symmetrical division of |
the honors and emoluments of poll
tics, it believes most honestly and
earnestly in something else. The
News has long since placed Mr.. Bar
nett Gibbs, of Dallas, in the race for
governor next time against the field.
Now, the EXAMINER yields not to the
News in its devotion to the person of
Mr.. Gibbs. IL may go toss or so
beyond us in its confidence in the
ability and fitness of the distinguished
gentleman for the high position, but
in his integrity and good-heartedness
we have now aud ever have had the
! broadest and most implicit conf
dence. In fact, practically our devo-
ton to him is unlimited. 1t is said
that the News newly announced
move to Dallas is very largely based
upon this devotion to Gibbs. There
is nothing like being on the ground in
these cases, and the News having been
so long at one side of the state and
> being so regularly side-tracked and
! left out in the cold for all these years
!. in its political calculations, has de-
termined TO be on the ground here
Q after. Who shall say that it is not
wise move? Who shall hereaf.
