man who cannot conduct his own affairs
is not a suitable man, in my humble iudg-
ment, to be mayor Of the City of San An
tonic.
The taxpayers should consider them
selves fortunate In having man like
Mr.. Z mendorf willing TO accept the
burdens of the affairs of our city, at
time when every obstacle is put in the
way OF doing right. Tammany, or the
political bosses, want the distribution of
one half million dollars for sewerage
purposes placed in their hands for plum
| der instead Of into the hands Of a sue
| cessful merchant; and the man who is to
| be placed before us by the Tammany
| ring is the very one who fought the prop
| Ostion Of sewerage to the bitter end.
| says II want the handling OF that one
half million and see how much l can
benefit my personal frieHds."
The leading members OF the Big Six,
who are declared enemies Of progress and
prosperity, publicly say: I'VE want GER
tain men out of the city ADMINISTRATION
because they wouldn't close their eyes
and endorse and sanction the election Of
corrupt men on November 9th, 1894.
New York, which was controlled by the
strongest and most corrupt political ring
for a quarter of century or more, has
finally broken loose and elected clean
man as Mayor of that city. Now, isn't It
our mother city aud place man In office
who will work for the best interest OF our
city and not be controlled by the big
Six" or any other political clique?
We want no politics In our city affairs,
but the righS man IN the right place; and
It is high time for the taxpayers to learn
that those who are interested in water
works and electric plants are openly
showing their hostility to the admins
tration Of our city's affairs by thorough
business man.
In conclusion l desire to state again
that heartily approve Of the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Henry Elmendorf for mayor.
Yours very truly.
