KELLY AND HAVEMEYE2,
Why The Tammany Suchem Has Not Yet
Scaipsd the City Hall CLief
The Mayors Supplemental
Charges.

The statement OF Mr.. John Kelly, In response to
the charges made against him by Mayor Have
meyer Will not be ready before the latter part OF
the week. The friends o. the Sachem assert that
these charges will be rldded and scattered to the
winds. that all doubt to the validity OF the cog.
nomen, "Honest" John Kelly, will be dispelled
and that the leader OF Tammany must
come out OF this furnace OF vtuperaton
with renewed strength and exalted purity.
Figures. dates and circums' ances are 10 be put
forth which, resulting In full refataton Of the al
legations OF Havemeyer, must dispe the clouds
settling down. with unerring certainty, for the
latest Tammany chieftain.
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
1t Is now the tenth day since the publication Of
those vigorously worded charges. To c0ntrovert
them required time and considerable research. To
those unacquainted with the intr!cacies OF the
Sherns Office the task might seem an easy one:
but 1t Is quite the contrary. Books records and
fgures have to be overhauied. The memory of
officials VINO acteo with Sher n Kellys adminstra-
yion has also necessarily been brought into play.
the experience OF Mr. Joel o. stevens, formerly
Uader Sheriff with Sherifs Kelly. O'Bren and Bren'
nan. has been found exceedingly useful In the ex-
ANIMATION. Mr.. stevens has been the real, live
working spirit OF the SnerIfr's Office OF this county
tor a numDer OF years. He II thoroughly ac-
quainted with Its routine. Every lawyer In the
city bears testimony to his BUSINESS tact and thor
ough mastery OF a delicate ana iespOnsbie position.
II any man knows the trutn or talsity OF these
charges 1t Is Joel q. Stevens. Tie Is at present
secretary 0, the Tammany Society.
THAT SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT.
Mayor Havemeyer says that he VIII not present
his supplement tai statement until after Mr.. Kelly
comes out with his reply to the charges already
terest that this second document Will be mucn
stronger than the first; tnat our willy old munich
pal fox has hunted up an additional array OF iacts
and figures, wGich will astonlsh the public. Among
these are facts in relation to the administration
of tie order OF Arrest Department. The friends
Of Havemeyer insinuate tnat the records are not
proc. s IN this controversy. In the coming state
ment o Mr.. Kelly a great deal OF stress, they say.
Is to De laid upon the records o. vIe different
Police Courts bur they openly charge that during
:ne administration of tue o.d Ponce Justice, TIE
books and records were Intentionally damaged 80
as to de .eat any attempt at correct examination
This Ii IS al ged was IN consequence OF the pecu-
har method o. disposing OF fines. Tne law al
rectea tnat all this money snouid oe returned to
the Comptroller, but the question here arises was
this law strictly O0eyedf
SEARCHING THE POLICE COURT RECORDS.
Notwithstanding this attack upon record evi-
dence Mayor Havemeyer still ntnues In force his
order that the books ana papefs III the various
police courts must be searched: Ihe clerks are
nished them with data and points upon which TO

turn OF the ''total number Of persons Convicted

number lined, &C, and also the total for eacn
offence specified, including vagrancy." The sec
und order requested the addition Of the 'number
OF persons held for examination and discharged

to accomplish, Out the order mas since been modi-
fed so that lew days all the statistics required
