To the Pablle:-
.'At the laat resalar weetins
of the City Council; Mayor Slater
mede tLe frank and open charge, that
be bad been Informed I bst .the Cltv
Eogineer bad received Sfi 00 from one
of the Contractors cons trusting oement
side-walks la the City of La Grande
Ore, for which, the contractor waa to
be ellowrd to alight the apeoificatlona,
and that lb City Engineer bad also
approached another contractor and r
quested money of him with ths same
objeot, and that he knew of one la-
alaaoa where the side walk bad been
narrowed In direct violation ot the- or
d'Oanee
I waa present at the said meeting.
emphatically denied the charges and
demanded an inveetigatlon, with the
result thai the Street Committee was
appointed to Investigate the charges.
in tnoir . investigation, the Com

ot my receiving money. It ia Itself

wovld not for moment have been ad
mitted as svideoee in any court in the
eonntryv 1 refer to tbe affidavit of
Leaser, wherein, he stats that bis
partner told htm uus morning he bad'
to have (5.00 to give to me that I
wsa working for them
Regarding this I will say :-Even
granUng, that Mr VoUw made euob a
demand of bis partner; bs did It with
out my knowledge or consent, aod
without nay anderstandisg on my part
that I waa to receive the money. I
absolutely dsny that there ever wsa
any understanding or agreement be
tween myself sod any contractor or
anon else, and Mr Votawwas par
ticularly refered to I secured ths fol
lowing affidavit:

Babeoribed and sworn to before me
this 8th day of Bspt 1605
F M Sax ton. .
Notary Public tor Oregon.
Ai will be seen Iron lbs foregoing
affidavit Mr Votaw awears, that be
bad no undemanding with me. What
be may bav said to Mr Leaser is a
matter between Mr Lesaer and him
eelf. I am not responsible for all tbe
slander and go nip circulated through
out tbe city, neither can I atop tbe
mouths of tboes who chooe to become
tbe comuion carrier of suoh filth.
Oos little remark, however unfound
ed, is taken up by these ' burd.H
petted from mouth to mouth, until,
magnified by ecb tuoceteivs srsnsler,
it is at last told for tbe trn.b. Tbe
psrty spesklng avsrs tbst be knows it
lobs a feci.
When Mr Leaser wss atked "Soils
nsver did approach you oo tbe subjeot
o! money f 11 is snewer wss "oo.1
Hs then states thst In oos instance
be wss compelled to seek the msyor
in order to gel grade stakes
I do not remember tbe occurence,
aa I would probably pay about as
much attention tj au order from
Mayor Slater as tbs city council does.
This muob J do rsmsmber ; I never
at any time iotentioually telardsd
any man's work for the rearoa that be
wouldn't "dig up", and Mr Leaeer
doe not stats that I brld bim up for
that reason.
If, Mr Leaser bad to wait for stskes;
bs Waited no longer Ihsn sny other
contractor. A great deal of my tims
waa taken up by private bosinees, for
when the rat of my com penis tioo for
city work waa lowered from 110.00 s
dsy to 76 cents an boor, it waa ex
pressly, understood tbst lb city work
was to bav eooad.ry consideration,
and my private business first.
Now as Msyor Sister wss pleased to
bring ths matter of narrowing aide
walks before lb council and leave tbe
iofetecee that I waa respon ible mere-
for, I will go into detail and give tbe
facts in lb case.
When selling stakes for tbe adjoin
ing property, I discovered thst tbe
eiskee set lor tbs first mentioned side
wslk bsd been dirregsrded, and tbe
side-walk narrowed six inches. I im
sisdistely notified L D Resvis, chair
man of the strsel committee, and
then tbs Bon Msyor, who cams rush
ing down "Charge of ths Light Bri
gade" sod after storming the chsirmsn
of ths street committee and myself, 1
politely told him to "colli out" tbat
I was In no way responsible; thsl I
bad correctly given the etskes in tbs
first plsoe, and tba oily didn't deem il
necessary to base me see tbst thsy
were conformed to, Hence tbs result.
He then rushid over to aee J M
Scriber, who, la tbe "Man behind the
dollars" and when be cams out be waa
as subdued and meek aa you please.
He next came to my office, and
while there 1 atked bim what 1 should
do about the aids-walk that had been
uarrowed, suggesting tbst our recourse
was to ordar tbe contractor to tear It
outandplac ths curb where It be
lorged. After whining tor a while, he
said that be , dldnt want to foroe Mr
Boriber to tear out the walk; that Mr
Boriber waa a client of hla and he
couldn't sacrifice his privets Interests,
just simply couldn't aflont to do 1
and that he 'woo Id resign bla poal
lion of Mayor first," regardless Ot the
fact that It ia bla sworn duty , to "as
wuvxoi supervision over tbe
affalrsof the city."
I myself do not blame Mr Scriber
for oirrowiDg the walk, aa it aavss a
row of trees, whose removal would un
etimably damage the property. Its
width is smpl and sufficient lor the
travel that goes ovsr It, and It Incon
veniences no ooe But, I do not like
to bay Mayor Hatar continually harp
ing behold ia me a worthy man,"
than jump the fence, call me 'nigger'
forgetful ot tbe fact that his own back
yard Is filthier than mine.
la anawer to the other stories which
were circulated throughout the city, 1
will submit tbe following affidavit

Bo much for tbe evidence on both
aids, which, I now submit to tbs pub
lie for consideration, as I couldn't get
bearing with the St eet Commit!
to present this evldeoos to them, be.
lore a report was bandod Into the
council. Pay after day I importuned
Mr. Reavlr, to call the commutes oa
Invretigatlon together, ani give me en
opportunity to defend myislf. .This I
ss not allowed to do, and tbs rsport
waa type written and bended in with
out my being allowed tbe privilege of
tbeverie t irimlnal, that of being
beard.
In their report tba committee did
not Bud me guil'y, neither did they
id me Innocent. I am not even al
lowed the ssms consideration given a
mmi Id the court of law, where, a man
le preeumed innocent, until proven
guilty, and If not proven guilty Is de
clared Innocent.
But, "In view of ths charges" (not
svidenoe) I sm asked for my resigna
tion. IstblsjustT
( Vote: Kioliardsonjf theeorpmittee
did not eign tbe report. )
At the council meeting lacked this
Most Hon. Mayor's permission o ad
dress tbe council, aod he stated that
if there were no objections, I might
proceed, which I did.
I commenced by roadiug Mr. Leas
er's affidavit and aUrted to follow that
by Mr. Votaw's, when HlaKoysl High
ness pounded the table and abootsd
for ms to stop, snd absolutely refoaed
to allow ms to read Mr. Votaw's aUJde.
vlt. Nor wss tbe affidavit read to tbe

In the council rooms hear it read, l'ot
this Most Hon. Mayor, In bis. extreme
worthiness, launched forth in com
munis that were cowardly, considering
ths fact tbst tbs contents of ths a Hi da

ditred not allow tbe affidavit read.
fs this ths justice a man lu tbe
