THE MAYORALTY.

municipal election, and the erroneous claims which
he and his party set up for their sinking and will

very patiently for reply, but to no purpose; the
proof was too strong and the party struck dumb
Silence was certainly good policy and the allegations
l then advanced have thus been acknowledged by
them. The officer alluded to in that communication,
/ am pleased to say, entirely friendly wth-his
nets alone in the canvass war with There other

would ask the Postmaster General to see that some
in his Department do not 60 beyond the bounds OF

ascertain whether the following be founded fact
1t is currently reported that the Superintendent at
tho Capitol building has taken the liberty (or threat
ens) to dismiss those persons working under his drec

fact the citizens generally should know it if false
it is due to the person concerned that he should have
the chance to cxonerate himself
Corruption riotall sorts Of reports ofcharges
conversions, promises threats and other sRtaH talk
are manufactured and put in circulation by the
Lenox faction, with zeal that would do credit in
better cause which prove that the leaders
that before the day of election comes not hope will
be left them, unless they succeed in consolidating
the Wing vote their candidate-which they will
exert all their means and all manner OF schemes to
perfect the present week 1t is to be hoped the ct
zens will not permit themselves to be deceived by
this interested faction, and suffer LINE SUCCESS
