A Few Statements
Of Fact.

In the course Of long letter to an
evening sheet on the subject of the
Heralds treatment of the Chamber OF
! Commerce, Mayor Crosby takes occa-
sion to say:
"An endorsement Of the New York
Board of Trades circular was also or.
dered forwarded by mail These reso.
lutions were handed the Astorian on
Tuesday evening, but the editor with
held them from the public until Fri
day morning, seemingly because they
did not coincide with his views
On Wednesday morning Mayor Cros-
by came into The Ast)rian Office and
was informed that the reason why
the resolutions had not been published
that morning was because they had
been mislaid, and that as soon as
they were found by the composing
room staff they would be published.
On Thursday afternoon, after a dill
gent search on the copy hooks, they
were found and Immediately published,
according to promise, together with
several editorial comments Of very
fiattering nature concerning the Cham
ber of Commerce. The editor did not
withhold them from the putlic at all,
and it seems peculiar that man of
Mr.. Crosby's dlscernment should not
be able to see that If they were with
held on the Wednesday because they
did not coincide with the editors
views they would hardly have been
published forty-eight hours sfterward.
The attempted slur is unworthy of Mr..
Crosby and his position as mayor Of
this city.
But the strangest thing Of all about
this remarkable letter is that 1t should
have been sent to a sheet which has
been a great deal more active in rid
iculing the members of the chamber
of commerce than the Sunday Herald
Here is a screed printed on the 22d
inst by the filthy publication to which
Mayor Crosby flies for redress.
"a change may be looked for in the
financial situation at once. rhe Asto-
ria Chamber of Commerce met and
passed a resolution last night, and will
ing. That will settle the difficulty.
This makes sos, 724, 1862, las, ,721, ,444,OOO res
olutions passed by the chamber in the
past three years"
Comment is unnecessary.
The Astorians position on the util-
ity of the chamber of commerce is well
enough known. President Wingate
said last night: Ever since the Asto-
rian has been a paper it has rad
nothing but kind words and encour-
agement for the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce, and 1 have never known
the present editor to speak of us other
wise than in a helpful and encour-
aging manner 1 consider the Asto-
rian, without question, the only paper
in the city that has ever represented
and worked for the city's interests"
