MR.. TIAYER's EXCUSE FOR AUDITING THE MoRE7
CERIIFICArEs-HE DOES NOT ADMIT GUILT IN
Ills sPECULATiONs--NO SUCCESSOR APPOINTED.
IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRiBUNEI
ALBANY, Dec. 29.-The suspended Auditor was III
his office at the Canal Department throughout the
day, waiting as he said, for the appearance of his
successor in order TO make a formal transfer OF the
securities in his possession and take receipts there
for. He appeared to be somewhat depressed by his
sudden overthrow, but had little to say in regard to
it. He had not undertaken the transaction of any
public business. Deputy McGOurkey signed all the
official documents and acted as Auditor.
In regard to the recent drawing of his warrant TOT
the payment of $4,000 on the Morcy contract at
Black Rock Harbor, Mr.. Thayer said that injustice
has been done him. the warrant was drawn
only when the Canal Board had passed
resolution ordering that the money be paid
and he exhibited the record of proceedings to show
his authority therefor. II is claimed on the other
hand, however, that the Auditor cannot be COM
compelled by any authority to pay fraudulent
claims Az Auditor, he should have known that TINS
claim was fraudulent lie had been informed oy
the Canal Commission that it would be at least tue
part of good policy to withhold payment upon 1t.
Mr.. Thayer announces his intention to wait maj
verdict from the Senate upon his before he adj
while he expresses no opinion to the action of the
Senate he claims that he will there, at least, nave
an impartial hearing. He intends to engage at once
in plan for his defense. Several persons called
upon him during the day among them being Canal
Appraiser Ihaddeus C. Davis.
Up TO a late hour this evening no appointment ~
Auditor al interim had been made public, aud speou-
lation was still rife TO the probable nominee Inc
Importance of the appointment il diminished by the
statement Of Attorney General Pratt, who holds that
the ad interim appointment must terminate Wth INC
decision of the Senate in the trial OF Mr.. lhayer
whether lac is convicted and removed or acquitted
and restored The impression has been that the
new appoin tee would hold over in case OF MI
Tlaycr's removal until his successor could he APP
pointcd: but under the present opinion tho ONCE
will simply be vacated and no advantage wlil ac-
crue 10 the Governor, beyond that of compelling inc
Senate to a compromise upon some good man.
