became a candidate for the latter
office"
ooh, Express, you, who could see
so clearly two years ago, what has
obscured your vision now? Is it
only case Of ophthalmla0
"This patriotic act, this willing
ness to sacrifice individual interest
for the general welfare was made
the occasion of an attack upon
him by one Of the apostles of the
present (then Callaghan & Coz re-
gime at the gathering Of the
faithful" Friday night. The
speaker took it for granted that
selfishness is the ruling passion OF
all men, that patriotism is dead,
that Paschal (who had no 100000,
and nothing but a bankrupt city
in sight would not be willing to
give up his present position for one
that pays up, unless actinated by
hidden and unworthy motives"
(The motives Of the opposition to
Elmendorf and to the construction
of sewers, are a little palmer now
according to the reasoning of the
Express
"The Express refers to this SIM
ply and solely because it is the
only argument yet advanced by
Mr.. PaschaPs opponents that is
even plausible. Men are too prone
to measure others with their own
pint cup. To patriot Paschals
action (Elmendorf now seems
reasonable enough; to one whose
ruling passion is personal interest
it may seem incomprehensible in
deed"
"a HOGG OPINION"
"Mayor $50 called) (the so.called,
in parenthesis is from the Express)
Lockwood went to Austin yester-
day to lay his grievance before the
Governor He was overwhelmed
with sympathy, and the attorney
generals office boy was prevailed
upon to render an opinion to help
Callaghan OUT That opinion is
to the effect that Mayor Lockwood,
Alamo Electric railway Barnard
and Bryan Callaghan are right in
their Interpretation Of the election
law, and that the City attorney
and other leading lawyers Of San
Antonio are wrong"
"If Attorney General Culberson's
office boy rendered an opinion re-
garding Mayor $50 called) Lock
woods act in adjourning the coun-
Gil without it's consent, in refusing
to submit an ordinance duly pre-
pared by the City attorney and de-
manded by majority Of the alder
men, it has not yet reached the EX-
press"
"Before returning to San Anto-
MO Mayor (so-cailed) Lockwood
might ask Governor Hogg to in.
struct the attorney generals young
man to render an opinion to the
effect that three constitutes a ma
jOrity Of eleven" THAT might be
tolerated easier than to say that
two votes for a candidate wanted
by notwithstanding Thad and
courteous looking Joe outweigh 80
votes cast in a convention for a
popular man whose only crime
was his being an American)
Now let us examine the Express
on election day, 1893.
"Nale, Callaghan."
"Just before the battle, mother"
"Dear Bryan; you're all right
Lockwood"
"Paschal's (Elmendorf's) success
means Progress and Prosperity"
when the sun goes down San
Antonio will be redeemed"
"Callaghan to Hogg; Help me,
Cassius, or | sink"
"San Antonio expects every vot-
ing citizen to do his duty today"
"This is the day that either makes
San Antonio or foredoes it quite"
GAIL the Paschal (Elmendorf)
men demand is an honest election
and fair count"
"To the polls To the polls Put
in vote for Paschal, progress or
prosperity Cor for Elmendorf, econ
omy and enterprise for San Anto-
NO."
"Despite Bulldozer Lockwood,
Culberson's office boy and the
'tarriers,' Paschal will be elected
by 1900 majority" (Modestly put,
it was 2,50O)
"If Callaghan is not the power
behind Shardein, (now Weiss,
Grice and Gas Works Kampman,)
why did Lockwood wire the
opinion of Culberson's office as
sistant to him."
at appears that Culberson's
office assistant could not be pre-
