The Truth Regarding John ]. Nc
Phillips Connection With
the Institution.

The following letter has been received
at this office:-
JERSEY CITY. Oct 80, 1890.
TO the Editor Of the Jersey CITY Aeues:--
1t is not generally known that the Ring
candidate for Sheriff, McPhillips, was in
some way connected with that rotten,
swindling concern in 1875, known as the
M-e-c-h-a-n-i-c-s' and LA -b-o-r-e-r-s' Saw
ings Bank. and If | am not greatly mis-
taken he acted as assistant cashier there.
One thing l do know, and that is that he
stuck to the rotten hulk till the ship
went down with that gallant crew, and
don't see how he could be there without
knowing the inside workings of that
crew. If he did know the said workings
of that gang. why did he not resign and
give his reasons too, and know that he
remained there till the last. | being one
of the depositors of that concern, do deem
it my duty 10 let the mechanics and labor
ers OF Hudson county know who the man
is that is seeking their votes, and ii they
wish to vote for him, why it's their busi-
ness, but he will not get my vote One
good turn deserves another. SO does a
bad one. Hoping that you can spare
space in your fearless, Independent paper,
am yours, respectfully.
A DEPosIToR.
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS has made q
careful investigation of Mr.. McPhillips'
connection with the defunct Mechanics
and Laborers' Savings Bank, and in JUS
tice TO the gentleman it must be stated
that John ]. McPhiliips was clerk in
the bank under bonds. and that he faith
fully performed the duties which fell TO
him. He continued a trusted employe Of
the men who wrecked the concern until
its doors were closed against the poor
deluded and plundered depositors led.
