San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1895-02-07

Satan's address, when chained in
the lake Of burning brimstone-the
wall Of the damned-could be ap-
propriately applied to Caesar
Lockwood and his side partner
Callaghan.
II Bryan is the Great Apostle Of
Hogg Democracy, why was he so
anxious to get DR.. Clifford's Re-
publican committee endorsement.
The Elmendorf campaign COM
mittee and managers may be lit
tie green, but the people are with
them, and on election day will
down the Callaghan "Big Six" com.
bination world without end.
The difference between contract
and payment under Callaghan is
illustrated in the painting job on
the city hall. The contractor was
to do the painting for $500; he
was paid $685..
The newspapers OF Texas will
treat it as a great joke (?) to hear
about Nat @. Henderson making
speeches for that great Hogg DEM
ocrat, Bryan Callaghau. Well, Nat
Q. is not here for his health, alto
gether.
1t was Alderman Lockwood's res
olution that was filed away without
action, during Bryan Callaghan's
administration, when he "resolved
that the hours of laboring men
should be reduced, but not their
pay"
Champaign hot shot" in the Ex-
press, Is scared out of his senses,
and shows his utter desperation.
He sees the handwriting on the
wall, and resorts to, desperate
measures.
The Express has discovered that
it does not carry the voters of San
Antonio in it's vest pocket. Its
winnings show its sense OF the
desperate condition Of the Gala
CHAN concern.
The tiresome medley of jarring
statements and reckless figuring
running through the sewer
columns Of the Express daily,
signed "Y" bear the unmistakable
of Caesar" Lockwood,
a man the people have laid on the
shelf forever.
II the auditors books show, and
they do, that as far back as July,
1886, the mayor, as we'll as the
mayor protein, drew the mayors
salary then the trip to Paris was
not the starting point Of having
our mayors salary doubled during
his absence.
For years and years the San An
tonic Gas company drew pay for a
gas light which never had so much
to show for it as a hole in the
ground for lamp post. The Pas
chal Elmendorf administration
took the shine out of that light
that never existed.
Items furnished by Deitschmau
and others Of his kind is not going
to make the management of the
LIGHT fall out with Frank Grice
or Frank Bushick, because we
know all this slush Is 20 cents a
line.
We don't blame Mr.. Peck for
wanting to be Fire Chief again,
and we believe he has got too
much sense to even think of boy
cotting the LIGHT because we diff
fer with him on local politics.
The LIGHT has not yet become
an object Of charity, and does not
solicit advertisements that way.
Our books will show that we have
paid the gentleman the Express
personally refers to more money
for his furniture than he has paid
us for advertising.
The distress of the Express Is as
pitiable as its Inconsistency is
glaring. The people are "on to the
racket" Of the Express, and mean
to take the self.conceit out Of it for
all time to come. Look out for the
crushing thud.
Mr.. Brand believes that "justice
should be done, though the heavens
fall" and rendered the Express a
card refuting it's charge, that Mr..
Hoetling had not paid his city
taxes. The Express wants 20 cents a
line for publishing a refutation Of
a charge made by it in its editorial
columns.
