70 thu Edttor n Tie Chicago 7riblus:
s1n. It Ia matter for Just surprise that THE
Tribune should havo givon currency to 80 grave
ohargoH, rumors, surmises. and falso asascmonts
As those printed IN this days papor In conncc-
tion with tho rebuilding Of tho Cathedral Of tho
Holy Manic, based Upon tho nero unsustained
assertion Of single individual, who, as iB owl
don't, is disappointed aspirant for tho contract.
It concerns mo only to notice TINT portion Of
tho article which suggests reflection upon my
peraonal integrity.
Although 1t fs truo that I am, nH contemptu-

I pronounce tho statement, that l prompted
AZ incrouse Of tho bid for the excavation.
and it is equally untrue that there haa
'fayofitism' in The letting OF the. contracts
for tho cathedral nelfhcr ia it true that ! had
Aught to do with tho Hclootton OF tho architect.

nm employed to auperintoud tho conBt1uc-

responsibility OF this trust It ID not impossible
that may BIO obliged, to discriminate against
Hollomtug and dishonest contractors.
This, duty compels me- to do but had not
supposed that my position Or acts. was fairly
