very much surprised that that had been omitted"
Nov, we have no belief that Wood has re-
ported Gov. King correctly in many things; bat
that the Governor should express surprise at such
an omission on the part of Mr. ConoVer is 30
natural that we think this very likely to be true.
Let us see, then, Mr.. ConOyer's explanation oil
this laehes on his part, as given to reporter for

We presume no one will doubt the substantial
truth Of this statement; and in what light does it
not place the chief magistrate of our City Con-
slider that be called on the Governor unsolicited by
the latter and made this direct and circumstantla
charge Of a serious omission on the part OF Mr..
Conoyer and made this omission the basis OF his
own justification. He then, go soon as the Gov
ernor's back was turned, called around him the
newspaper reporters and had it communicated to
the next mornings journals. Yet all this time he
knew that Mr.. COnOver failed to present his bond
for approval only because the Mayor would not
permit him to do So but finally did submit it to
the Mayors Clerk which was the best Wood
would permit him to do.
The man Wood is obviously impervious to any
idea Of decency or sense of shame; but this, we
trust, is not the case with all his supporters We
appeal therefore, to the baggage-smashers, passage
ticket swinders, policy sellers, rOughs shoulder
hitters burners, pmps ruffians and villains gener-
ally of our City to say whether they have sunk low
enough in the scale of moral being to approve this
dodge Of their leader and patron. They may relish
rascality ever so we'll in the abstract and under GER
tain circumstances; but what do they think of
Woods statement to the Governor with respect to
Mr.. ConOver
