San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-12-15

no demand for the decapitation o
J the policemen who laid OIL a weel
or ten days just before the late
election, to work for the Big Si1
ticket. They made themselves
solid, and can be budged so long as
the Big Six hold them in the hol
low Of their hand.
The expenditure of the 100000 Of
sewer money has, evidently fired
the ambition Of the Big Six and de.
termined them to make a dash to
get control of the city government
from cellar to cOCkloft.
What sort of an appetite have
our business men tax payers and
other free patriotic citizens, for the
entertainment, to which the Big
Six have invited them. Look at
the matter on all sides--ponder it,
revolve it in your minds, We bust
ness men, tax payers, and free in
dependent and patriotic citizens,
before your "walk into the parlOr
OF the Big Six"
The real people of San Antonio
should, with one thunderous accla-
nation, demand that the "decks"
be cleaned for action, the guns
shotted and the vessel Of the peo-
ple-the anti-Ring be laid side by
side with the ring.
The fight with the ring can be
avoided but in one way, by an I'M
conditional surrender of the city
government to the Big Six, and for
permission to remain in San Anto-
Mo, so long as we shall keep our
eyes and mouths shut and our tails
tucked between our legs.
Are the real people prepared to
take this degrading and ruinous
step OF Internationally surrender
ing the city government to the Big
Six, and of sanctioning the con-
signing Of six worthy city officials
to the guilotine as peace offering
to the autocratic Big Six.
If so be, that the real people are
not prepared to take so degrading
and ruinous step, then let them
go into the fight, resolved to win
victory, they will triumph
gloriously, for, where the people
aroused and united, they are re-
sistless as tidal wave, or an
avalanche.
The votes OF the purchased vot-
ers and Of the white creatures of
the Big Six, cannot elect the pup
pets and stool pigeons of the Big
Six to the city offices. They must
needs have some white votes to
splice out with.
Is there in San An tonic, a single
self-respecting, independent, man
ly, freedom-loving and patriotic
American, German, Polish, French
or Italian citizen, who is in love
with Ring rule or who prefers it to
government" of the people, by
the people?" The object creatures
and puppets of the Ring are too
far gone in subscribing to either
think, feel, or act as independent
and patriotic citizens should. Like
dllllS OISy dlt W UllOlI
idol, let them alone.o
Is it not high time, that the
white voters of San Antonio were
learning an object lesson from the
solidity Of tn Mexican vote, and
themselves practically uniting as
one man to redeem their city from
domination.
So long as the aliens vote as they
are told by the Big Six in a solid
mass, without giving passing
thought to the welfare of the city,
it is the bounden duty of the whit e
voters to vote as one man to throw
off this domination. The welfare
of our city demands that our white
citizens should unite and combine
in order to redeem our city.
Their own good sense and sound
judgment should teach our bust
ness men the dangerous conse-
quence of allowing one and the
same ring to run both the county
and city just as they please, and
regardless of the public interest.
Our taxpayers, also, should see
and realize the blighting effects Of
ring rule and go to work to get rid
Of the incubus.
The future prosperity Of San An
tonion depends on putting down
ring rule.
