haps, impugued the honor and integrity
of a citizen.
Mr.. Brown disclarmed any prejudice for
or against the ex auditor, but when a
man. integrity was involved too much
light could not be thrown upon the mat
ter.
Mr.. Davis, one of the investigating
committee, said hat the majority report
cast no reflections upon Mr.. Grants char.
acter.>
A motion was finally made by Mr..
Baker that the matter be referred back to
the house, with the Recommendation that
it be put upon the general file and called
up for consideration in the committee
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. on which
occasion ex-AuditOr Grant, ex-Deputy
Auditor Stewart, Auditor Burdick and
ex-Attorney General Councilman should
be invited to be present. This was car
ried by one vote. When the committee
arose and the report was submitted to the
house, by a sudden change of sentiment,
the reference to the Grant Investigation
was stricken out by a majority of o. vote.
This leaves the matter on the general file,
and it will probably be called up again in
committee of the whole today.
