But where are the notes due ia

Did Mr.. WALKER make a mistak ke in
his dates, or did he willfully falsiiy
the record?
All Of the above items were includ-
ed in Mr. Bakers Report OF the
indebtedness of the city, under the
| head of Bonds issued for openine
i streets and purchasing a steam 6rC
engine. So the Courier at last con
| fesses that the alleged bank debts due
June 20, had nc existence. In Other
words, that Mr.. WALKER, in sayios
there were such debts, didn't tell the
truth. We confess our success IL
extorting the truth Is quite gratifying
We are disposed to give the screws O
the rack another turn or two.

REGlATR-ii KRGI,TERIi

Many Republicans believe that the
Fegistrg Boards copied the poll-lists
Of tie election held last Fall, and
that, therefore, they are registered,
Such is not the fact. The Registry
Boards, contrary to law, copied the
Poll Lists Of the election last Spring,
when hundreds of voters were unable
to vote. Therefore il becomes all to
see that they arc registered. Ittakcs
time, but it ought to be attended to.
VIII the Republicans Of the various
