charged veterans of the war of the rebel
Lion. They were soldiers, too, and not
engineers on transports.
My office was abolished. but I did not
forget the action. I had a better cause
to fight than Hooker has. I served in the
Eighteenth New York Volunteers, from
1861 until 1881
The Mayor filed the document An hour
after its reception Captain Hooker called
on the Mayor, and after asking to be
reinstated, and being refused he am
nourced that he has retained Corbin &
Corbin The Mayor in declining the rein

it said he wanted retrenchment and did
not care what offices are abolished or who
is dismissed All reductions will be given
