wi hin TIE personal knowl dye OF Every
Evenings editor that they were not Their,
ut O'Clock. Having business OF his owu
10 trntsact he called there about thai
iioe and tound absolutely nobody Their,
except Collector Mckee. He spent about
10 minutes there snd was getting ready
10 90 when one loue taxable came In aud
Mr.. McKss pro, eedsd 10 WAIT on him.
Every Evening l. ~ ready a. the mex,
QUE 10 aid In holding the collectors to q
5air accountability for neglect of duiy.
but there 10 great deal Of utter bosh 10
most Of the loose statements about men
tIoacing on each othsr's heels for Z
CHARGE to pay their taxes"
The Every Evening has stoppod
crying out TO Republicans, "Why don't
you march up 10 the collectors Office
and pay your taxes" and has under-
taken in the language above quoted to
doubt tho word OF the REPUBLICAN
that SONG twenty I've marched up on
Saturday afternoon to pay their taxes
sad found no collector In the Office.
and that on Monday afternoon large
humber marched up again, only to find
the collector gone. II affords us the
Rrsstest Of pleasure to answer the
Every Evenings inquiry. Collector
D0uRherty left the office at 8 O'Clock.
From that lime on, ~ we have already
said, . large number did call. That
they did not call during toe Every
Evenings stay of fifteen minutes from
4 O'Clock ID NO proof that they did NOT
from 5 on 70 4 o'clock, and from ar
teen minutes after I O'Clock until o
O'Clock.
The editor was there fifteen minutes
cut OF two hours and because ouly
one came in al the end of those fifteen
minutes II won't do to assume that
rome others called during the two
houss from three to five O'Clock. A
o matter of fact large number left off
their work on Monday afternoon 10 90
and pay their taxes to Mr. Dougherty
We cannot name all who called, but
fortunately we ree0llect these three;
Robert Barry. John Black and George
Draper. These men with others call
ed personally 10 tho tax office but find
ing no collector, that Is the one they
wanted, they had TO 60 away and as
they went they met others coming and
turned them back, telling them It was
no use to go to the Office as Collector
Dougherty was not there. Asthe edi.
Tor Of the Every Evening says he is
~ ready as the next one to hold the
AAIlonfnro tn a IA - ,t
neglect Of duty, will lie be so lair as
70 ask the collectors whether their
duty would not be better performed by
citing In the evening to receive taxes,
CT perhqps, % he has so often advised +,
ssLet Republicans march up to the
collectors office and pay their taxes, "
Sell US when the poll taxable Demo-
crnts are going to pay their taxes.
IL 10 to be Respected that In the fifteen
minutc Interview the editor had with
Collector Mckee on Monday he did
not ask that gentleman whether 1t was
true or whether 1t was all "bosh the
published report in this paper TINT
Henry Robins, Third and Webb streets,
known 10 live there, did not csllt4,c s
y pay his taxes, and ~ Mckee told
BIN be knew w was assessed all right
moi take his taxes, and
~ Hxnt care for the consequences.
Or he might have asked him IL the re-
port WAS all "bosh" that no still had
two cents In his possession that the
Colorei preacher, s. Bsntum, over
Third street bridge, paid him Tor 9
s'juplicalc" tax receipt, but which h,
refused to give him. 1t is very tru'
that there 10 no trcading on each other
leels now TO pay taxes, as Democratic
poll taxpayers get their taxes paid AM
their receipts handed to them ''in block
pi fivs" without going to the office, an,
when Republicans apply, like til
twenty and more last Saturday after
loon and large number on M0nda
sfternoon, and finding no collector,
has q deterring effect upon other
making the attempt 10 tread eac
Cther's heels 10 pay taxes.
We are pleased. however, that III
rsnial counienance OF the editor of tn
Livery Evening lid turn up in the Ia
office once, il for only fifteen minute
sf the three hours the collectors advei
tise to cit to collect taxes. He did NJ
see Collector Dougherty there durin
that time. How unfortunate for NJ
