was simply TO give him chance 70 be heard on
his own behalf at the same time, personally or
through counsel. The Mayor apparently ielt little
concern about the matter yesterday, and in con-
versation with q HEBALD reporter remarked (Mr
Clnton's despatch had not been sent at the
time:-

against me and l answered them. MY answer has
been published. Alter 1t was published the Cover

and his co-workers, like the sly dogs they
are, at once replied that OF course they
mad nothing more to say. How cOuid tneyr
'Wny, said they, the Mayor in his answer,
admits all our charges; aye, not only admits them,
but his answer really aggravates MS case. He
has sH NV GOOD % "a the

selves by saying anything more Smart that,

IN his ample armchair and gave vent to a ft Of
laughter, the sincerity OF which was unqu estion-
able.

Mayor chucKled geeiully. "And," he added, al
suppose they must have finally come to the concl1-
sion that If they only had about halt

could prove me gullty-or worse. l don't
know anything about 1t. you know; but
that's my opinion and don't think they'll try to

The Mayor also said. in answer to question Of

he might possibly be represented by counsel
eBut." he added, "the gentleman VINO would go
down there to attend TO my interests-if any one
goes at all is now out of town and won't be back
until tomorrow evening. II he shouldn't come
then, why then no one will 20. The otner side can
do as they please, so far as am concerned, for
have no additional statement 10 make. They have
had good deal 10 say already In the case ana
have had my say II they are not satisfied and
want to say more, they are welcome"
AS the despat ch OF Mr.. Clinton shows, there VIII
be no more argument in the case, and 1t Is now, In
point OF fact closed so far as outside rarties are
concerned. The only thing that now remains to
close IL definitely Is the Governors decision.
