Iu slludng to the action of Councilman Hayes,

he construed as questioning his honesty This
we are not ready to do. Mr.. Hayes course in

lent himself to the vicious contract system, has
been, in the main, creditable one, and this
causes the more regret, now, to find him at
tempting TO fetter the freedom Of the press be-
cause of it's demand for reform in municipal
