THE CITY BOARD.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
From an article appearing in the
Citizen of the 22nd instant, it APP
pears that the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen of the town, contemplate
the repeal of the ordinance prohib-
iting stock from running at large
in the town, acting upon a petition
filed with them, signed by 30 citi-
zens of the town, citizen of Mem
phis and about 100 parties living
outside the town, but near thereto.
Can it be true that the Board
has forgotten the fact that they
were elected upon a platform,
adopted by the mass-meeting NOM
mating them, by which they pledg-
ed themselves to submit the ques-
ton to vote of the legal voters of
the town within thirty days from
the time they were indicted into
Office, which pledge they carried
out by calling an election to be
held on the Oath of June, and which
was held, and the law sustained
and approved by a decided MAORI
ty of the legal voters of the town?
Do they now propose to disregard
that pledge and the wishes of the
majority of the citizens of the
town? If SO, why did they hold
the election? Whom do they pro-
pose to represent anyhow? Do
they propose, as the representa-
tives of the majority of the citizens
of the town, to reflect the wishes
and desires of the majority, or do
they propose to represent the Min
GRITTY?
It has been clearly demonstrated
that majority of the citizens of
the town are in favor of the law; it
is equally true that majority of
those living in the country, who
come to Camden to trade, favor
the law.
If it is repealed the Board not
only disregards it's prediction
pledges, but also the wishes of the
majority of the citizens, as express
sed at the ballot box in an election
called by the Board, as it claimed
to ascertain the wishes of the peo-
pie on the question, and also the
majority of those coming to Cam
den to trade.

AFTER RESUBMlsSIoN WHAT?

II Is roy. quite generally believed

question Of after resubmission, what"

tory amendment is submitted to the
people ana that for that reason the eff

enkos papers at the time of his arrest.
The envelope was missing and Pantch-
enko explained that he threw it away
The authorship of this letter has
been attributed by Pantchenko to De

test De Lassy was instructed to re-
copy portion of the letter on his own
machine, which was brought into court
today. Surrounded by gend'armes and
typcwriting experts he wrote two lines
with great difficulty and then feigned
eye fatigue. An examination of the
lines showed that he had made one
gross error.
The experts were about evenly tfi-
vided. one government expert said
that the letter was written on De Las
sy's machine, another said that it was
written on an union machine, but that
1t was impossible to say whether it
