tend towards the public good. He finally
declares that the editor Of this paper has
no trner or more steadfast friend in the
city than himself.
If he will read over the communication
which brought out the structures of the

it could not create the impression that

who felt kindly toward the City Council.
Had he signed his real name to the

would have treated the subject in the
spirit which animated us ut the time,
as we believed then the writer of the
complaint to be q different sort OF d man,
than he says he is in his second comtnu.

We dearly prize the friendship Of every
good citizen and would not knowingly,
