The republicans of Pulaski county
are in no wise responsible for the so-
called independent county ticket In
convention assembled they resolved TO
place no ticket in the field. thereby
leaving the republicans OF the county
free TO act and free to choose candidates
of their own choice, The republican
voters should therefore use their vote
and influence in assisting to elect the
best material offered for the various
county positions. We are all citizens
Of the county and should have the in.
.crest and welfare Of the county at
heart. Every incompetent officer Of
the county is reflection upon the in

THE MAYOR AND THE ROOF GARDEN
A CLERGYMAN CRITICIsEs THE GRANTING OF TIFF
SINNOTT LICENSE.

A CLERGYMAN CRITICIsEs THE GRANTING OF TIE
sINNoTT License
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Assuming that the reported interview with
Mayor Strong relative 20 the roof garden Mt Column
bus-ave and One-hundrod a nd irst-st.. which ap-
pcarcd in most Of yesterdays dailles. was anthem
tic | feel myself bound In the interests Of truth
and justice make simple statement OF the
facts in the to the public.
Mayor Strong is reported TO have said that
Thomas J.. Snnott applied for a concert license a
year ago and that he then promised 10 refuse such
q license that year; that Mr.. Abe Gruber talked
with him about the case. and at his suggestion he
went up and looked over the ground" and that
they agreed upon compromise etc. To all this |
would like 10 say:
First-That Mr. sinno't was not the applicant for
O license year ago, but one Sevcrson. as the rec
ords will show.
Second-That tie Mayor at that time under
stood by those opposing the application to make
an unqualified promise 20 refuse roof garden
lice lsc for that part of the city IL seems strange
that large body OF intelligent men should mis-
hear what the Mayor said
Third-That his words, as then understood. were
quoted to him at the second hearing last June by
myself and neither the Mayor nor the counsel on
the other side denied them or intimated that they
In any way Incorrect Is 1t conceivable that
the applicant pressing his case against such strong
opposition would have allowed such a statement
to so unchalenged II 1t had not been accurate; or
that the Mayor would have permitted himself 10
stand committed before so large a delegation TO
words he had not uttered?
Fourth--On the occasion OF the first hearing the
Mayor said that no had been UP and looked over
the ground. and had consulted several real estate
friends whose judgment he respected and that he
had decided not 10 grant the license. Now he
says, AT his CMr. Grubers) suggestion. went up,
town and looked over the ground" and I'VE agreed
upon a compromise" Does not the Mayor here
plainly admit as a fact what had before expressed
as oniv slsnicicn-that he Yielded 20 nctical In
