"NEw YORK, Sept. 10.
'70 Richard B. Connolly, Esq.,
"SER-I have considered the questions
which you have submitted 10 me, and to
prevent the possibility Of misapprehen.
sion, reduce my advice to writing.
First, on the assumption Of your limo.
cenCe Of the charges made against you, l
do not consider the resignation Of your
office as your proper course. Your duty
Is to give every facility TO the fullest In.
vestigation, and abide the result. Second,
in your answer TO the request Of Mayor
Hall for your resignation, you have stated
that your official acts which have been
were supervised and ndapproved
by the superior vigilance Of Mayor Hail;
that an equal responsibility for their at.
tacks was due him; that in this affidavit
in the pending litigation these acts were
adopted and vlnlicated by him. Even II
you nrG conscious Of having done wrong
in your trust, you owe II to the community
moi to do another wrong, but make every
reparatlon within your power. To sur.
render your office into the hands Of a
would be a fresh betrayal Of
your trust, and while damaging your.
self would fail doing justice to the com.
munity. No man selected by Mayor
Hall can, without some moral support
from the community, have public conf.
dence. lie will be compromised by a
understanding with the ring.
As the law now stands lie can assume
your office only by the arrangement to
which you are partly to Great a vacancy
for him. The man you give the place to
ought not to he the tool Of those implicat.
ed iu transactions which excite public dis.
lrust and alarm He ahOull be the nOmi.
