BARCLAY HAS BEEN MIS-
REPRESENTED.

There Is one statement of the Robins
Press Committee that appeared one
week ago which must be corrected. It
would have been done before this, but
at the request of the mayor no atten-
tion was paid to the article in question
it was of such a slanderous nature. The
statement appeared again in The Times
on Saturday, therefore We feel duty
bound to make the necessary correction
so that no voter need have any misun-
Outstanding on the subject.
The Robins Press Committee claim
that the mayor made false statement
when he said that the city had not run
behind during the year. They proceed
to juggle with figures in an endeayor
to bear ont their claim.
Now it is a we'll known fact, and was
demonstrated locally in politics few
wears ago, that any detailed statement
OF finances can be torn asunder by two
opposing parties and rearranged by
each to suit their claims. This has
been done time and again in some of
the largest banking, insurance and mer-
camille establishments in the world, and
Is Invariably long drawn ont and
unsatisfactory controversy. 1t is not
our intention to 20 into any thing Of
that kind But we will confirm more
fully what Mayor Barclay stated. AT
ter paying all current expenses, etc, in
the same manner as former years the
city of Barre had $1,42s,65 more cash
ia the bank Dec. 81, 1904, than it had
Dec. 81, 1903 Besides this the real and
personal property belonging to the city
of Barre had been added to considerably
during the year. The city Of Barre is
worth a good many thousands OF dol
lars more now than one year ago, or,
to use business term, st has made a
good profit for the year"
These are undeniable and indisputable
facts and plainly proves that our may
or told the truth, viz, that our city did
not run behind during the past year;
consequently the statement Of the Rob
ins Press Committee on that point Is
d malicious falsehood.
In their disappointment at losing the
caucus nomination, the Robins Press
Committee does its best to cast slur
upon Mayor Barclays reputation for
honesty and thorough business capaci.

The custom Of noon dinner on that day
arises from the usual absence Of cook
