county commissioners and EX-COunty
 Commissioner Forgive and Make Up.
 White winged peace has again re- stunned its sway in the county commis- SlonerS' office, says the New Haven Register. To-day's appearances indi- cated that the misunderstandinc which arose through the incidents leading up to the nomination of Edward r. Thompson for county commissioner had been satisfactorily explained, at least so far $ the present commis- sioners are concerned. The entente cordiaie which before existed between Commissioners Walter and Munson has taken the place of the straitcned relations which last Saturday threat encd to culminate in an open breach. They to-day assured the Register rep resentatiye. and their actions bore out their words. that the cordial relations Which had formerly existed between them had been resumed and they were as good friends as ever
 MT Walter is thoroughly satisfied" said Mr Nnnson. that 1 was not Knowingly party to any scheme or maCh!nati0ns against him. Further more. he believes. so 1 think. that whatever may have been said by any 1rlend of mine WAS said unthinkinyly: that tiyIe Was no concerted attempt or deliberate intention on the part of my supporters to ill any way preju- u.ce Mr Walters chances for re-elec- ton as county commissioner two years rom now and that Colonel Hornes proposition originated aud res1ed en- 1irely with that gentleman and was Gue more 10 u7erZealousneas than to anything else. 1 have assured AIr Walter that the proposition was not only not inspired or consented to by ine. but that l was in absolute ignor- ance of il or of any other plan having as it's object anything that would be lnlmlcal 10 MT Walters personal inter csts. l exceedingly regret that even by Implication l should have been put III q position of apparent unfriendli- ness 10 Mr Walter. Colonel Hornes suggestion. 1 am sure. was made with out his having investigated tine matter Of Whose terms would expire two years from now. He was very friena- lE to me. desired very much to sec me fe-elec1&u and with the best of inten- tons toward Mr Walter as well as my self. formulated a plan which seemed to him to offer all easy solution of the matter. but which if he had given it the careful thought which he ought to have done he would have known would not have received my endorsement"
 MT Nalter said that he absolyed Mr Munson from complicity in any plot against himself and believed the lat Ter $ statement that if there had been any organized effort against him it had not been with Mr Munson's sanction or knowledge. In justification of his own course i'll the matter. however. Mr Walter said his Information of the al legged plot against hims If had not only Deen gained from what he had heard from MT Thompson and Colonel Horne but also from Deputy Dairy Commis- sloner Robert o. Eaton and still anoth- CT high in the republican councils of this state. From each informant the story was circumstantially the same and he felt convinced of IS truth after the interview with Colonel Horne pub lished in last Saturdays Register He saw no reason to believe that Mir Mun- son had not had a hand in the matter and under the circumstances consid- cred himself absolved from all pledges or obliga tions of friendship. While en- tirely absolving Mir Munson he still felt that some of the latter's friends. to put 1t bluntly. had made a mess of
 things and Was not altogether sure that the course pursued by some of
 them was entirely due to ignorance, or lack of intention to do that which if successful was bound to be displeas- ing to him, Walter.
 MT Munson also had something to say on another matter. For the past few days 1t has been freely stated by men who claimed to know what they were talking about that one outcome of MT MunSOn's defeat for county commissioner would be that two year: hence he would be Il candidate against Sheriff A. B. Durham for the nomina tion for county sheriff.
 'There's not word of truth In it, | said Mir Munson. Il would like tC have the Register say for me. and put | it as strongly as il can, that 1 am no. | and will not be candidate against 1 Sheriff Dunham. On the other hand
 1 am his friend out and out and vii. 1 be found supporting him in every way that lies in my power. l to-day fol i the first time heard the stories relative | 10 my alleged intention tu be Il can didate against him. l attribute then | 10 democrats and others who Woul6 like to create trouble between lne Shef
 if and myself.
 Say for me also that I cherish nc l animcs:ly against Bob Eaton. He was l against me for county commissioner | but l am satisfied that his actions were
 in every way fair. l respect him fol ! if and congratulate him OH the success, 1 of his candidate. l will not say a' | much. however. for Governor Mclean
 and 0. R. Fyler. They. too. were
 against me- but 1 will not say thai
 they acted with the fairness of Mir Ea
 ton. Eaton fought in the open.
