The period Of clamor and falsehood
seems now to be passing, and the
whole community is beginning to see
how basely they have been imposed
upon by the invented falsehoods which
have been published. While all this
falsehood and clamor against the po-
lice force was going on, watched with
anxiety to see whether 1t was breaking
down the discipline of the force, for
which it was designed. 1 am happy
now to congratulate the whole force
on the admirable way in which they
have conducted themselves under the
most trying circumstances Notwith-
standing that one Of their number
was found grating. I have faith in the
