"a . false report As the precincts alluded to
are supposed to be strongly in favor of the fu-
sion movement, the people would regard such
action as intended to secure the election of the
fusion nominee for supervisor, and would bold
the BoaFd guilty Of prostituting their official
position To unworthy partisan purposes. We
cannot consent ~ believe that gentlemen o.
such high standing for personal integrity and
fair dealing, as Messrs. Swan, Strout and
Pearce, can be brought to tarnish their fair
fame and write themselves political rascals',
for the sake Of so small partisan gain. We
mention the report merely for The purpose Of
recording our disbelief and so give another
proof Of our readiness to vindicate the chArae
ter Of political opponents when wrongfuiy
aSssiIed.
