who have squatters' rights. business

The Investigations made by the for

THE ATTEMPT ON MAYOR GAY
NOR'S LIFE.

Every right-minded man. every
friend of good government, was SHOCK
ed and Mortified" at the news from
New York in regard to the attempt OF
discharged dock employe to assassi
nate Mayor Gaynor. Amusement and
where the report was discussed An
hour later immense relief and reas-
surance came by telegraph. The shot
had not proved Immediately fatal;
there seemed to be no imminent dan
ger. and the stricken man had good
chance of recovery.
The wouldbe assassin may or may
not be of unbalanced mind He GER
tainly had no grievance against Gay
nor or his administration that could
prompt sane man to so atrocious a
crime. He had been dismissed for
misconduct and neglect OF duty; surely
not even years of corruption and slack
ness and spoils politics could lead any
noncriminal mind to harbor the no
ton that merited discharge justified
the murder of the official responsible
for the action. The law will take its
course SO far as investigation and pun
ishment of the crime are concerned.
AS for Mayor Gaynor. the whole ma.
ton will hope and pray that he may
escape martyrdom and live to continue
the admirable, aggressive, wholesome,
honest work he has SO splendidly be
gun. His record as mayor SO far
while not flawless. perhaps, is highly
creditable. He has been true to his
pledges; he has utterly disregarded
partisan politics or claims based on
alleged political service. He has been
single-handed. vigilant. constructive
Afearless and extraordinarily efficient
He has surpassed the expectations Of
