THE SYNDIoATE.-Attorney General Hart
feels aggrieved that the statement should
have gone abroad that he was concerned in
the matter OF the syndicate formed to bid at
the expected tax sale of the Central Pacific
Railroad and California Pacific Railroad
The error, such it was, grew out of the
fact that Deputy AttorneyGeneral White
was active in the matter. The latter gentle
man, over his own signature, states that At
torney. General Hart knew nothing of the
matter and was out Of the city at the time.
The statement that the affair was manipu-
lated chiefly from the Attorney Generals
Office was incorrect in so far as it may have
conveyed the impression that General Hart
was a party 10 it, and which he disclaims be-
ing. It is to be noted that the,impression was
general that he was privy to it, because of the
activity Of his deputy in the matter, and be.
cause of the unQuestioneds tatement made put.
lie that the deputy had telegraphed to his
principal, advising steps to be taken to sci
aside the order of the Superior Court Of Ala.
media county. However, no one has charged
that there was anything improper in the
formation Of the syndicate. 1t was legiti.
mate in all respects. But General Hart is,
in justice, entitled to have his disclaimer
made public.
