For Alderman Fourth Ward,
(Mir 11
Si %
JUderuaa of the Fourth
Candidate and
the Issues.
Oh Thursday dext' the
of the Fourth Ward will elect an
Alderman to represent them in
the City Council- The principle
of representation is to give -every
of our city an equal parti-j
in the councils1 dfour
city that the wants and neces-
erery section of our city,
class of citizens,
be "equally i-epre^fed 'Wnd!# r
fepted. ; t;?ii m7/}-
To secure this, the person
elft&i should iM* «a|f M
dent of the ward which he is to
represent, but he should also hef
identified with its' interests by
aaSfK-iatipn, in business, and m
possession pf property and inter-
ests to be effected by taxation,
representation and the improve-
ment or neglect of city imptove-
nifint in the ward which he repre-
sents. Therefore to properly
represent a ward of our city thej
Aideraian should be a resident aid
property holder of that Ward, and
if JW is tfugaged w actice business
and has succeeded in making his
own business a success, there is
thi^ additional guarantee given
to the people of4 our city of his
qualification for attending to their
Imsinesg.in a proper aad business
like manner. And we can tnily
say that in all of these requ isiteg
jMivSi*itti fllhffti^bi^Hfjad
is therefore the person whom we
shall advocate to fill the impor-
tant office of Alderman of the
Fourth Ward.
Mr. Smith has lived inthls county
tor fifteen years, was raised t
mechanic and has by Ms honesty
industry and intelligence not only
acquired property but with his
jraftners Wiggin and Simpson,
baa sHecoeded iii building up one
of the greatest machine shops in
our State—and id laying the foun
datiou for one of the
foundry and machinery business
m Texas, one which wife be
source of immense revenue to
Houston. •> . ■ I

wholfhi^ .«♦ other
recommendation that we are aware
of than his color. It is claimed
that the Ward is composed largely
trf' t^lored men, ind $iej there-
fore efeftu that they shall be repre-
sented by one of tlieir color. We
do not wish to be misunderstood
by either whites or blacks. Bepub-
licans nor Democrats, said if good
plain writing will define our posi-
tion, we intend that no party Pf
person shall misunderstand either
us or our position, we eiaua- ~
firm. That there is no issue be-
tween the races which demand
that the colored people should
have another Alderman to repre-
sent them. |

Second. That jx>Zitics has no more
tb do with the proper administra-
tion of the affairs of this city than
has the religious creeft of the«caq-
didatOV V ' 4 J.jj-;^[ ; i
Third. That he who has the
deepest interest in the prosperity
of the ward, and will be most af-
fected by good or bad representa-
tion is the man to be elected to
represent that ward.

Fifth. That o*her things being
eqU^d, that matt is entitled to the
support of the people whose moral
character is the most correct and
whose example is the best for our
children or our citizens.
i. If these propositions be true* and
.we defjr a refutation fetereofj then
we confidently assert that there is j
not a particle of comparison be- ■
tween liobert Spann, colored, and;
D. C. Smith, whitew > - • f

to the middle of the enclosed semi-
circular yard fronting there. We
now pass out across toe track ami
opposite to the office and machine
shop, and find the carpenter's shop
or: rather the largest one, for there
aije several. -The work here seems
to be on repairing coaches—22x

neath. They are building two
first-class passenger coaches and j
other work of minor importance.
At another of the carpenter shops
they are building two cars of a
new model or style, intended, to
carp- stock and freight with equal
facility Jin same car. Mr. Pergoy
is now putting up forfV boxcars

first-class coaches and eleven sec-

having been added since first of;
January, 1873;
press cars, two of Which have been
added since the first of the year ;
thirteen baggage cars, two of
which have been added, in the 1
same limit. The majority ofthese'
additions have been built at these
workshops. The stock now actu-,

Three hundred ^d sixty-six box:

A want of co-operative energy, is

much credit is due to some one,
