o'GoRMAN TO HALL.
Richard O'Gorman has written letter
TO Mayor Hall, in which he says ut
seems to me that in your future course in
the matter of the Office of Comptroller,
you should be governed in the matter
more by consideration of eXpedienCy
and sound policy than by the merely
strict legal rights or power. II it had
been your desire to bring about the &C.
cession of u new incumbent into the
office Of Comptroller, you seem to me to
have exhausted every legal eXpcdient
that could have suggested itself to you
for that purpose, even at the risk OF some
apparent Inconsistency. | now advise
you not to make another appointment, to
withdraw your notice to the various de.
partments, and treat with Connolly as
Comptroller. If you do not think him
entitled to fill the office de ,juTe, by treat.
ing him Os Comptroller de ftIct0 you will
adopt course which Is, in my opinion,
necessary to prevent financial difficulties
and complications, and q continuance Of
that public excitement and sense Of inse.
curity which prolonged legal contrO-
versy In this case would intensity. 1t
should be borne in mind also that long
before that controversy could be deter
mined, new Legislature will have as
sembled, who will DO more able to calmly
and deliberately consider any matter con.
nected with this case which may be
properly submitted for their consldera-
ton. Yours, faithfully,
RIon'D O'GoRMAN."
