yer full of charges at Maj. E. b. stah.-
man and Gov. B. w. Hooper, and every
charge was dart stepped in the venom
OF what the mayor calls betrayal of

manipulation of the Legislature which
the three gentlemen now IN controversy
managed SO skillfully and so successful
ly for the first half of the session.
The mayor reiterates his confidence

what he did for them.
