had perceptihly disgraceful and vulgar effect

some days ago our contemporary, much to the
surprise 81 many people who are 10 The habit q
thinking that long and unblenishsd private and
public career should weigh something in mans
favor with Intelligent and honest people at least,
rravslv asked VI. Lucius II. Place. candidate for
MAYOR on the Citizens ticket, whether he was in
favor Of tie brutal practice Of prize fighting This
auostion. according to the quoted language Of our
contemporary, has not been answered by Mr. Place.

of tho man, We doubt not he shared the indignation
expressed by hundreds Of his friends at the njur-
ious inputation embraced ID Tho interrogatory.
Tie question. and the serious manner in which it
v AZ pgopounded. involved reflections of tho most
o,ious description. such as few gentlemen will an.

ii conId have done d with the same propriety-
extend the scope Of its nterrogations and require
Rfr. place 70 answer whether he was in favor Of
rixe tirhtin. theft. BURGLARY, arson, rape, assas-
sination. and all the utterable and unutterable
arimes Known IL the calendar q yiIiainys We
nave A. vsI ii inv,,un tie motives Of our cotem-
norarv IN this matter. Doubtless they were ali
aood. ;,ut Va ID blame Tie absence of reflection
which would permit such an interrogatory in the
first place. and its reiteration afterwards. whal
would lie chief and venerable conductor Of the
Bulletin think if the question was asked him once
much less twice 81 thrice, from respectable quar-
tiers, whether llc, when sworn into responsible
once and clothed with large powers, would pro.
tect Villains and encourage Them In vile practicesg
Take or question to yourselves, gentlemen Of the
Bulletin, and Ii you win study few brief moments
YOU will see whether any gentleman could consist
emily answer gottr interrogatory. The greatest
of wrongs and the grossest Of insults may be CON
seyed By interrogation and indirection as well as
by direction.
n The Bulletin asked, also, Mr., John z. Monroe,
candidate for Mayor on the so-called American
ticket, the same question ii asked Mfr. Place. We
imagine ii has not beenanswered yet, and presume
1t WIN not be answered The fact is we don't see
now any gentleman, possessed of an ordinary
amount of selfrespect, can answer such question
formally III writing And the Bulletin, not satisfied
with it's want Of success With Messrs Place and
Monroe, pitches into Mr. Alexander GraiIhe with
tile same frightful interrogatory. What its luck
Will be with him the future must determine.
Otherwise, the commentators Of the Bulletin in
regard to Mr.. Place are all that could be desired.
