say that they knew that ne would not
take the position at one-haf Of 1 per
cent. A Spy reporter thought he would
look up the matter; went to see Mr..
Whitney this afternoon, and asked If
there was any truth in the rumor af1oat
in regard to his not accepting the office
of tax collector.

anything to anybody about the matter;
and 1 will collect the taxes" This state
