knowing that the cold facts stated in
the above letter could not be contro-
yerted, and fearing that their wide dis
semiration among the legal voters OF
the city previous to the taird day OF
November would bring disaster and de-
feat upon the Democracy under the guise
OF tue so-eailed Municipal League in the
municipal contest. it chose to exercise its
so-calied independence by refusing to
publish my letter even In its advertising
columns. Ordinarily one would reason
ably expect thst a paper claiming to be
politically independent and non -partisan
would gladly publish political comments
ot The character contained In my letter,
without charge; but the writer was not
50 innocent as orcredulous to presume that
courtesy of that kind would be ex-
tended to any party or person of INV
political faith without ample rem unera-
tion.
As am desirous that the voters OF this
city should know the true inwardness of
this immaculate aggregation of Demo-
cratic reformers, alias the Municipal
League, in order that they may be fors-
warned and forearmed against their in
sidous In tiuences, take this method of
