SHERIFF GRANT TO GEN. NEWTON.

Letter in 1885.

Bourko Cochran Road and Revised Hewitts
Letter In 1885.
Sheriff Grant, in a dignifed reply to Gen.
Newton's defense Of his administration of
the Public Works Department, points out
that his defense is, In fact, no defense. That
it is the same made by Hubert o. Thompson
when similar charges were made against his
administration of the same department, and
on which he was condemned ct the bar Of
public opinion.
The Sheriff points out that not only Mr..
Cunningham, the President of the New Am
steroam Club, but Mr.. Kerwin, Mr.. Flanni-
gan, Mr.. Sheridan and Mr.. Minnick, all
County Democracy leaders, enjoy exclusive
privileges as contractors for work in the De-
partment Of Public Works.
His reply to the Commissioners insinuation
that the Sheriff lacks the requisite intellectu-
atty to compose his own letters, is resented
in gentlemanly, yet forcible~ language.
Congressman W. Bourke Cochran, who has
been named by Boss Power and others of Mr..
Grants opponents as the author of the Sher-
IFS letters, said last night, in a speech at
Lyric Hall, that he had read Mr.. Grants let
ter of acceptance before its publication, and
that he also read and revised Mayor Hewitt's
letter of acceptance in 1886.

These parting words of the fair Countess di

The Count is wealthy and / am not" she
