city And in addition that hangs like the sword
heads of those who would betray the
fdences reposed by the electors and the public official is
fully aware that which suspends be cut at
any time by do his full duty toward his con-
stituency.'
Compare that with the stuff in open or implied de-
conduct of the late Mayor and his unworthy

filled during the past sixty days.
This stuff includes letters of Mayor Harper his defense
