' ; the veto Discussion ; It it a fundamental principle of govern ment that a public office it a public trust and the incumbent it accountable to hit constituency for hit official acts and poli cies. Proper criticism ' of public policy and the execution of the la we is to be ex ercised at all times and It a public right. My review oif the Mayor't veto of an im portant ordinance demanded by public sentiment and welfare , in a well "meant and sensible petition of citizens and tax payers was" not intended, nor It it, per sonal or abusive, but a fair expose of a public official and hit peurile and sense less apology for such veto. ' ; If the galled Jade winces it it because the exceptions to such veto went i well taken and their truth and argument etruck through the hide. The "reply"; upon personal grounds does not meet the ques tion, it intended to detract publio atten tion from ths issus and discussion, of a publio measure, hence I shall not be drawn to a level with that official ex- am not, but he is, on trial) that the. pub lic interests, good government and better morals art at stake, hence the readers of this paper will not care for personal grievances or personal differences In this discussion.. , While it it true that I am ' the ' oldest ex-mayor of , this . municipality and held the office longer than any of my successors, but not too brig to prevent h y official reputation or career from compar ing favorably with that of any of my suc cessor in offlce-especially with thai of th latest ft it also true 1 never wag. at war with public demands or ' guilty of betrayal of public interests.

I know farther that th vetoes I hadf- to reach, the "waste basket" were legal expositions of, and official objection to grafts,and baneful measure by which th City suffered by th .thousand, that time ha shown that I was in th right, and instead of abusing the agitator 1 gladly invite investigation and full criti cism of very such act and measure of min.
