sIR-ln your report TO the Governor mention is
made Of my name In a manner which calls on mo to
lay aside my usual mpsrsonal habit, tho character
istic distinction between tho training OF
tho Journalist and the method OF tho law.
yer You mention me in tho position
OF ON srcnt for Tweed" without qualification OF
that phrase, which think duo TO The fact
that you have had practically brief connection
with these cases, and only The retirement OF
Charles OConor and Mr.. Ticen, is presume tho
Those gentlemen would tell you that
| was the active and CONSISTENT adversary Of Tweed
and his gang from the first, and only far 10 his
agency would promote the true objects implied In
his recent proposed surrender made through me to

Charles OConor to the Pinkortou Detective Agency,
which had been turned 10 tweed for bonus aud
liberal per dom. II related 10 the ugiuvos Of tho
Ring and was shown 10 that might soc how
well Tweed had boon informed anu fortified.
You may infer that Mr. O'Conor needed reliable
agencies which he knew how to secure without bonus
Your comments his great and generous labors are
just graceful He has found his vudication IN his
final triumph But he owes II not to the prom ptness
Of the courts the disntcros,cd support OF public
officials With all duo respect. SIR, could name

officers and thcr adjuncts In tho courts, tho Legsla
ture and the city olcos together for the last seven
years Mr O'Conor practically took his brief from the
press The persistent zeal and support OF the press
carried bin through whom no stood alone against the
Bar tho judiciary and tho politicians Of tho S,ato IN
and out of Office. With tho exception of few mis-
takes the press borc unanimous testimony, and
mado undivided battle against tho robbors and the
frauds Tho greatest task has been to meet the
merccnary method Of tho lawyers in their organic
scheme for perpetual divisions and disputes, their
patent method for extortns fees The controversy
forced upon you by Twecd's lawyer Is OF
tho most striking illustrations OF this idca,
and as peI,hor you tho public can
reach tho true merits Of that controversy without
