Notwithstanding the very obnoxious

well Assessor Of the extra Democratic
Assessment district, created by the Leg

would vote for H. b. McIntire for Chief
Engineer Of the Water Works, especial
ly when that announcement was coupled
with the declaration that he would vote
for him because 1t was understood from
/ he commencement of the agitation that
he would be the Chief Engineer.
II Is not our purpose to criticise in an
unnecessarily severe manner the decla-
rations OF Mr.. Porter, but II he is credit
cd right, there seems to be ample room
for just criticism. His declaration that
he would vote for Mr.. McIntire, because
it was understood that he was to be the
Chief Engineer, is nothing more por
less than what Mr.. McIntire understood
himself, from the time he originated the
movement to place himself back in the
position from which he had been ousted
by the people through the agency Of the
City Council.
1t was perfectly understood by the
unanimous vote Of the House at Dover
that the bill was for the personal benefit
Of Mr., McIntire, though even SO fair u
man ~ Mr.. Bates, was sure there was
no partisanship In the bill. 1t was per
tectly understood in the Senate, too,
when Mr. Cavender declared the bill
"put up job" for the benefit OF Mr.. Nc
Intire, and Indignantly refused TO vote
for the bill. 1t was also perfectly un,
derstood by Senator, Belts aud Mus
tard when they, lik' Mr.. Cavender,
voted against it,. and 1t was also per-
fectly understood by DR.. Chandler who
hesitated to vote for it, but finally did
vote for it. Mr.. Porter is right 1t was
understood from the start that Mr.. Nc
Intire engineered the bill to put himself
into paying position, and every body
that had anything to do with it knew
that it was for the personal benefit of
Mr.. Mclntlre more than anything else.
Mr. Porter it seems did not know this
when he was appointed, and when he
declared that if he accepted the appoint
ment of Water Commissioner lie would
be guided by non-partiaan considera-
tions.
He seems to learned thingortw
since then. As Democratic official he
seems to have discovered that he must
vote to carry out the behests of the
Democratic politica! bosses, and as Mr.
McIntire's interests were all that were
contemplated in the bill, 1t would not
do for him to, act contrary to the leading
object of the bill. We thought we had /
found non-partisan Democra' in Mr.. |
Porter, but now We find wewill have to
seek further.
