The report of the Committee on Police Watch and
Prisons, was then adopted unanimously.
This shows concusivey the state OF feeling in the
Board OF Assistants in relation to the Courier and
Enquirer, and Snowden's bills. 1t was the " De-
partment" (Snowden's) printing aimed at-theret the
fault lay, and there the censure fell; with
what justice the public will decide. No wonder
that Colonel Webb fears that the Board of Alder
men will concur with the Board of Assistants and
thus ''virtually deprive Mr.. Snowden Of his Of
office"
Such are substantially the facts and allegations
which we made on Wednesday, and on which we
made the charge that the Courier and Enquirer at
tackled the contract committee from interested and
selfsh NOTICES. Let now examine the reply made
tothese charges by Col Webb in yesterdays Courier
and Enquirer. What can the ''dev upon two sticks
say to these facts? Hu
L. "We do not deem it necessary to reply to any,
thing coming from the Herald This reply exactly
meets the charges and points at issue. Wonderful
reasoner! Sublime logician!
e. alderman Atwell is the author, if not the wri.
of the article in question Exactly to the point
again. Mr.. Atwell had nothing to do with the mat
ter. The question is, are the facts as stated Can
the devil deny them!
g. alderman Atwell has demeaned himself, and
is unworthy Of the place he holds. We do not even
know tn gentleman by sight and his connexion
with the Herald in this or any other matter, is in our
81 IL
of the connection he has formed, and none other"
Striklngly to the point again. Expert dialectcan
Extraordinary mathematician !--almost equal to
charging $500 for job, and taking $50.
A. Then again.-''It is not true that we are part
proprietor of Mr.. Snowden's job Office. But let
that pass For the sake of argument let this allega-
ton be assumed as true; how then stands the mat
ter 7" Amiable subterfuge Is it not true that you
interested in the profits Is it not true that you
cere once part proprietor, but had to give it up, in
order to get through the Bankrupt Law? Is it not
true that James Gordon Bennett was in 1892 a
part proprietor of that very job Office with you and
Snowden! Wonderful ostrich, with your head
in the sand, and your extremes all over the coun-
try!
But all these immaterial and futile to the real
points at issue. The great and constant argument
of the" Courier is the "infamv of the Herald and
its proprietor" This is truly amusing to come from
a who has been bought and sold like bullock
in Fulton market, by almost every party and every
clique in the country-sometimesa at $780, sometimes
at 52 OOO-whese vagaries foies, and indiscretlons
have made him a laughing stock to the whole
worldwide has squeezed black mail out OF every
every bank land every party that would yield
either in drops of $50 each, deep doses of 54 OOO
It is very edfyRg, surely, TO hear such man talk
of our character, our principles, and our conduct.
Dare he put his finger on single act, public or pr-
vate, that is not honorable, frank, and manly?
Dare he compare private life with private life?
But enough the questions to be decided in this
controversy, are these Have we not proved that
the motives of the Courier & Enquirer in attacking
the wings in the Corporation, arises from having
been defeated in their own extortons Have we
not given the day and date-the figures and facts,
establishing these points Have we not proved that
the devil upon two sticks and his clique of extor-
TONERS, set of the most mercenary fellows that
ever were collected together, either on the earth
above or in the other place below Have we not
proved that the Courier Il Enquirer has been to the
wing party, the Z" old man of the mountain" riding
it to death and destruction, and that the time has
come to shake off this "dev upon two sticks, %
and to place him where he was originally found, in
his original dirt, folly and absurdi,y, carefully sealed
up in bottle, labelled thus - l
When taken,
TIE be well shaken.
