THE CBtrr QUESTION Mr.. Ncllis,
the alderman, continues to I've irste Yes
te'day he was engaged in throwing his
peculiar thunder bolts at Mayor Wood.
and, for the purpose of crashing that gen.
tlemsn, charged him with the authorship
of the remarks made by THE BULLETIN
in reference TO tho chief Of police. 1t
may contribute something to the alder
mans peace Of mind to assure him tina,
the editor OF TIE BULLEris wrote the
item in question and that the mayor was
innocent Of any knowledge Of its con.
tents. We wrote more in sorrow than in
anger. and did not intend to rufle the
temper Of tho alderman from the Fourth
ward. L.. - speak frankly, we ad.
mire that eentlenan. lie is grand sue
cess rs good hster, and
hesitates at nothing to give ven
TO his malice. This plssses us, and e1
pl.ins why he has been giving currenc.
to the outrsgeously false report that Nc
Hale has acted dishonesty in the dis
charge of his duties why, having votet
to receive certain moneys the marsha
had reported to tho council he had tn
audscity to declare tho marshal had pu
the moroy into his pocket and had mad
no report of it as he was in duty born
to do. Blu. our admiration of Mr.. Nslli
