his re- nomination. This Latiln knew Wnen
he wrote his letter.

Greeley convicted of having uttered Elk
falsehoods in the Hotchkiss letter.

ject of his visit to this country is 10 es-
tablish himself in the wine trade. he
has gone out of politics.
The Era of Corruption.
The World is disappointed because the
Tribune has no words of denunciatlon
against the scandalous corruptions which
have been discovered in the FeoeIal

New York officials are moro for the Pur'
pose of condemning the Democratic party
than the dishonest man.

In regard to the duties of Mayor the

presented by the Comptroller, and
although that may have been the pI &C
tice, and presume it has been for yes rs,
to sign checks without looking, AMI l
have myself as Commissioner sighed
checks for millions without knowing they
were correct, yet the community expect
or at least hope that wherever an act is
required to be done by three or four per-
sons in certifying to bills, they will not
rely upon others but will see to it tn en-
selves.
