That CONTEMPT Case.


Mr.. EDITOR: In all cases and under
all circumstances there should be two
sides to question, and as the above
has had a thorough ventilation in the
Democratic press of the State, and
perhaps of the United States, tits only
proper that correct statement be
made on the opposite side.
Referring to contempt Of court, no
such thing was thought OF. no attempt
vas made to act in contempt The
members of the City Council possibly
had too much intelligence and respect
for law and order to encourage con-
tempt After thorough investiga-
sion of the contest election case in the
First Ward. it was clearly proven that
Mr. Cutler had majority cf three,
whereupon a certificate or election was
given him and after the question had
been propouhded repeatedly by the
thaN Vi anu Soe ilelllDttl ~ tuG dltOl-
nev for the corporation, if it would be
right and proper to seat Mr., Cutler,
the answer was in the affirmative.
The mayor and council not being CON
yersant with the numerous Latin
.erins of law, were led to believe they
we're not in receipt OF restraining
order prey enting the seating of Gull
Ter. This is the whole proceeding.
Contempt was not thought Of This
wonderful contempt was heralded

type and lengthy pieces, but not word

solicited their votes from early in the
morning until near six O'Clock p. m,
before they would consent to try to
vote, knowing that they were not cit

stated, there are two sides to ques-
