stewart, Of Novada to tho Craftsmanship OF the

the withdrawal of Senator Boutwell, This is
most extraordinary solootion, aud, but for tho
prosonco OIL tho Oommitteo Of Judge Thurman
and Wilson might bo regarded as donth-blow to
tho work Of Investigation. Aside from tho fact
that Mr. ssewart'B property In tho District

comparatively small outlay on tho part Of tho
owner, 1t IL q notorious faot tint ho ia on tho

Stewart put III several good words for hie friends.
Among other things ho said: "AlmoHt every

II believe in this city there has been moro dono

would necessarily imply TINT thoro Ind been
moro or loss fraud. + do not think that

Having thus fully oxoneratcd tho Dis

tho frauds that are alleged to hayo boen perpe-
trated In pcrfccting tho comprehensive system"

can fail to question the nbaoluto proprioty Of

Too nppotatod to investigate the conduct Of Coy.
Shepherd and tho Board OF Public Works. Il ia
all old r11lo of Parliamentary law, tbat matter of

friendly to tho investigation. Senator
Stewart ia not beloved to bo
friendly to their ent]oavors to find out whethor
the officials under examination aro guilty rs

ia comfort in tho reflection that, owing to the
competition Of tho Committee, in tue conduct OF
