working people in this district look upon his eludng the
ends OF justice cause for congratuaton Opinions
expressed by who are fitted by circumstance
and position 20 acquire thorough knowledge

old constituents look upon Tweed's case with eniency
and, carried away by very general disposition Of sym
pathy they feel that escape only the due OF the
who has faced the charges brought against him and
manfuly combated them. Some or the property
owners, however who subjected to heavier taxation
than formerly are not disposed look so favorably
upon for whose sins, they themselves say
they are dointpcnance They claim that this thwart
ing Of the law every way reprehensibe and that
any one concerned in enecting it should suffer the
severest penalties Among the politicians a
disposition was manifested 10 give utter
