Orlando Record: For sometime past I'M
derground whispers aud rumars have been
in the air regarding affairs in the city

tedious, rs hundreds upon hundreds OF
vouchers and warrants had TO be examined
and compared one with the otho- As yet
the examination is not complete, Though
enough is known to show some
shortage. Errors have boon found, both
for and against the clerk, and Ike coud u9u
of the bJoEs cannot be oven guessed 40 at
present. Though these rumors We're ahoat
not much attention was paid TO them until
AZ the last regular meeting Of the council
Mr. Watson sent in notification to the c1un-
Gil that he would not qualify, thus giving
additional impetus to reports ia circulation,
as well as the fact that the council
was holding secret sessions believing rs

sake OF Justice that the pubhc
should not be in possession Of the wrong
doings Of the clork, il any existed, until
proper and legal steps could bo taken.
These matters having come to our kuowl-
edge, we have endeavored % ascertain all
the facts In connection there With, but can
give no further light than the foregoing,
only that Mr. Watson cannot be found this
morning and has not been seen since about
noon on yesterday. lie has many warm
friends here, ami was exceedingly popular,
~ evidenced by his very large majority In
the late election.
