IN the recollection of Capt Il. y.
Blair TO the position of city attorney
Waco has acted properly, and has in
this, the most acceptable way of I'LL to
a faithful officer, expressed her ap-
probation and endorsement of his Of
fetal acts. without any disparage-
mcnt TO the other excellent gentle
men in the race, the EXAMINER may
say without otlcnsc, we think, the vot-
crs have acted very wisely indeed,
Capt. Blair is II sound lawyer, a man
OF untirng energy, close attention to
business and a sincere lover of Waco
He has been in the past "A useful, rs
people, and the experience he gained
during his first term will only the
better lit him for the duties OF this.
We can assure him that rs long as he
is attentive to his duties and consci-
cntious in their discharge, not only
the EXAMINER but the people of Wa
co will stand by him. He has already
won a place in the affections of the
people of which any man might well
be proud, and we assure him that the
only way to fix himself permanently
there is to discharge his every duty
in the future as in the past We have
no doubt but he will do it, He brings
to the new term all the enthusiasm
and devotion to duty which charac-
teriaed him at the outset OF his official
career. May he live long to enjoy
the confidence of the people Of Waco
