Bitter Attack by Hunt.
Mr.. Hunt in very personal and
very spirited speech stated that he
had been misled. He addressed his
remarks to the city attorney and the
board of public works who he claim
ed had misled the people until the last
few days when the party of citizens
called at the office of the board of
works. But they will not do it any
more" concluded Mr.. Hunt.
Mr.. Hunt took occasion to attempt
to prove that the board had been mis-
leading the people. He said that the
president Of the traction company has
stated that his company did not want
to go through the Glen, and said it
would be the best to go down Twen-
tieth or some other street. Mr.. Hunt
claimed that when Mr.. b. B. Johnson,
was Informed Of this. the latter said
impossible"
Next he directed his attacks against
Mr. Study and said, Mr.. Study is
great on bluff ridicule. sarcasm and
belittling methods. He does not de-
pend on SO much law as he does these
small practices (great applause.) I
really don't believe he ever depends
on actual law. A prominent business
man asked him at the meeting of the
board OF works last Wednesday morn
ing If when two parties in a contract
and one wishes to rescind the con-
tract and the other party agrees,
can't it be called off? Mr.. Study re-
piled that it could be rescinded and
had just the moment before stated
that it couldn't be. This is an evil
dence of his legal ability.

Mr.. Hunt. He continued by saying
