A CONTROVERSY between TIL

arisen because we took the liberty t,

sense Of justice and truth led us to act
THE TRANSCRIPT has not been con
trolled in what it said by the infuenc,
of any person outside this Office the
name of the editor can be found at The
head Of this column and no other per
son is in any way interested in TIL
TRANSCRIPT or its policy. We have
said all this before, but the triple
alliance known as 1editor of Ever,
Evening 7" see fit to doubt our Yeracit5;
we are wiling to leave this question of
veracity to the readers Of Euery EUen-
ing for settlement. Last week we
asked Euery EUening to answer the
plain question
"Did not an authorized agent of
Every EUening present that bill, and
did he not, with others, try to induce
the Levy Court to order the payment
thereof ?n
To that question We received the
following answer:
"No agent, representative nor en-
ploye of EUery Euening did ever pre-
sent gamblers bill to either City
Council or Levy Court, nor did any
one connected with this paper try to
induce the Levy Court to order the
payment thereof"
Such jumbling Of words is not an
answer. We never asked whether or
not EUery Eoening had presented for
payment, to the Levy Court, gam
bler's BILL" We know nothing about
such bills nor do we know exactly
what the words imply. We asked a
plain question and Euery Euening has
evaded it. What is the natural infer
ence ? Eoery Euening has said that
no authorized agent of that paper ever
presented to the Levy Court for pay
ment, a bill for services rendered in
driving the gamblers out Of Whining
ton. The truth or falsity of this as
sertion can be judged from the follow
ing:
