CITY AFFAIRS.

that Mr.. Weirauch, as mayor of
the city, acquiesced in the action
being taken in regard to the joints,
and our article so stated. This Mr..
Weirauch has denied in street talk,
and has gone so far as to accuse the
editors of the DEMOCRAT of falsehood.
We have been informed that Mr..
Weirauch not only consented to the
action taken, but that he authorized
and requested that the steps be
taken. He admitted that it was i'm
possible to close the joints for want
of sufficient evidence; thai neither he
or those who had been associated
with him had secured evidence which
would do the work and therefore
the statement by the DEMOCRAT was
true, and we have the authority of
one of the ex-mayor's own appointees
that it is true. We are only stating
this now for the purpose of showing
that we are right. Mr.. Weirauch is
out of office and we have no quarrel
with him. We did our saying while
he was taking action, and not after
it had been taken, as in the case Of
one of our contemporaries.
