To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: In your issue Of yesterday, in the testi-
mony OF Adolf Cluss before the investigating
committee, 1 find snimadyersions upon the length
of time Tompkins L Ruckels had taken to COM
plete certain contract which had been awarded
Them. As member Of that firm, desire very
emphntically to state that Mr.. Cluss must have
known his evidence in this respect was untrue, or
else he was criminally ignorant OF matters ap
pertainingto his own office. He further asserts
that he knew little or nothing OF the granting OF
tho large contracts-had nothing to do with them.
This also is false, and can be PROVEN rueh over
his own signature, from papers in ny possession.
Tie contracts entered into by Tompklns &
Ruckels with tse Board Of Public Works have
beer we'll ara faithfully performed, In the
quickest possible time, and to the entire satisfac-
ton OF the beard.
am ready at any mnment to substantinte the
utter falsity OF Mr.. Cluss's statements so far as
our contracts are concerned.
Very respectfully, &c,

on Tuesday evening next, and that unusual dra-

the public TO recognize his services in behalf Of
the publcs amusement, It should be accorded in SO
generous manner as TO show that his efforts as
an amusement caterer are fully appreciated, in
order to encourage him to renewed exertions
Let the public turn out nobly on Tuesday even
