reason that great proportion OF the

Gaynor has been pruning and slashing

ARE THE CHARGES TRUEq

The majority OF the City council
seem to be perfectly well satisfied with
the mark placed upon them by their
official organ. And that mark spells
graft"
This Is all the more remarkable he
cause only a short time ago. when
Councilman Fernstrom limited that
everything was not perfectly straight
with regard to certain contracts. both
the mayor and the councilmen got as
busy as humble bees, and all sorts OF
apologies were demanded. II was
solemnly announced that the council
would suffer no motu sfurs or insinua-
lions 10 stain its immaculate white
wash but IL anyone dared to hint at
crookedness, he would have to prove
II, or take the dire consequences. II
was really an awe-inspiring pronuncia-

lightning flashes from the heights OF
the councilmannic Sinai But alas for
the plans of kings and mice! The dog
days being very nearly over. the coun-
cilmen have cooled down. And they
accept meekly the imputation OF the
party organ.
They cannot now blame anyone who
should conclude that the charge is
true. The minority. consisting OF
Councilman Holley, Fernstrom. Hall
and Lees have certainly cleared them
selves in public view by proposing the
only honorable course for the council
To adopt under the circumstances. but,

voting against the minority PROPOSE
tion, they have virtually accepted the
insinuation.
