This is the sum total Of Mr. Thomas
great fuanciering. The credit belongs to
the Board of Supervisors, republicans and
democrats, and it is not honorable in Mr..
Thomas to arrogate to himself the credit OF
the action of the Board He is not entitled
to any credit except that he did do what the
Board ordered him to do. And that is what
is meant by the resolution relating to Mr.
Thomas passed by the Board Of Supervisors
at their last session.
We find the above morsel in the proca.
nation OF two or three unknown individuals
in this mornings issue of the organ of the
Ring, in which vast amount of abuse is
showered on Mr.. Thomas. The above as

member Of The Board OF Supervisors had
anything to do in tashioning Mr.. Thomas
