While tim above waa not Uie exat-t language of Shariff Llnville, yeatwday morning, yet la' waa tho aentiuieut lie expre-od to a reporter of tire Ator- ian, aa ha aat la bia Eighth atreet of fl, enjoying an extremely fine cigar, precnted to Mm by an admiring friend. Tin? reporter prk-ked up hi ear, for now at Li buina, and here waa eerlaluly toincthing good; too good to he o'erlooked, ha therefore reque-ted the felieriff to apeify. "Well," aak! Unrllfc, "aeveral month go I enforced what I uiihmUod were the law againt gambling and dmi ha IN; every city In the Went and Nortbwet had cbwed public gambling f all kind,, aa well aa public dance halU, excepting AUnU, and it ktood ahtue. Vat orally thia fart waa pub- likhed In all the paper, and Aitoria a-a generally known aa the only open city on the coat, indeed in the Wet, and aa we all know, much unfavorable comment ha been made'agairut us re iltiiko I'V j'dgmm umt-(ally againat our advnenient. I had no aellUhniotivea In doing tlilx; it waa not thereaultof anger or malice neither revenge, nor hatred had anything to do with it 1 many were friend 'me were my personal friemlai none had done me any injury. Neither wa it the rcult of any political acheme; tlic truth U, that complaint, Innumerable had been lodged with ma, and in my oflhw 1y men w ho "bad been robbed of their all. of clerk who had embezzled bet-au of their fondnea for the gam ing tablet mother and fathers, too, had complained to me that their child rcn, boy from 10 year upward, were permitted to hater around and habituate gaming houe and dance ball.; I tried to turn the' part over Id tha police ofllcer of the city, but tha complaining partie informed me . regularly they could obtain -Co redrew. Every promi nent citizen, who baa given any atten tion tn the affair of our city, know 1 am apcaking the truth. "At the trial of tha dam hall men, I produced minor after minor, who wa permitted to loiter within, and frequent t14e dan9 ball and ' I could have) brouirht twenty-five more. Public gambling wa oenly carried on. upon the main treet in thi city by and with tho connivance and consent of the offi cial of the city, for which privilege, monthly aunt of money were paid to the city, collected by the polii ofllcer, and paid into the city treasury; why, die gambler ran the city. "1 had plea after pica made to me by mother, father and guardian of youiig Jieople here, to head off careera of vce and ulianic. In regard to boy. I once aked a police oflicer to ait in keeping tlicui out of a certain dance ball. and wa bluntly told by the officer that lie laid not entered the place for over a year; that he bad ht order to tay out of t lie re unka be had reason to be lieve murk-r was bning done in the hou-e, and be cotihl not and would not tranacend the order of hi aliicf. "I then took a hand iu the game. I thought) I wa right, and atill think o, tnd will alwaye think o, until I go down to my grave. I etopped public gunibling; I cloaed theae danea hall, and I kept them cloaed, never doubting that I would be aupported in it. But at the city election held in Uiie city, laat Wednesday, tba queation aa to whether or not public gambling, and public dance halU ahould ba permitted within the llmita of thia city, with the ronie quent revenue to be derived therefrom. waa fully and fairly ubinittd to the voter; a beary voto wa cat, and the elector of thi city, by pn overwhelm ing majority of practically two to one, dw'ided in favor of dance hall and gambling, and my .action In closing theae inxtitutionywaa coudemned in no mea uwd term. "N'ow I realize tha right of the ma jority, and Jim not one to thwart the will of tha people, fairly expreed. Yet no majority however large could in fluence me to violaU the law of thi state, or my oath of office.

And the Polk-e Comrolwaion- era, and Police officer tlicreof are ttf uired to execute theae power of the city; I therefore coruddcr that becauae of thi cliarter, which wa gotten up by the Citizrn' party, I can, without violating my oath of office, and at the ame time bow to the will of the ma jority, turn this whole matter over to be controlled and regulated by the Police Commit ionem, and Police offi cer of the rity, 'which I propose to do. "I want to ay, however, that I do thi for no political purpose whatever, for I ahall retire from politic. I thall not again be a candkbrte for the office of aheriff of thi county. I bare held thin office for seven year, and I think that it is time that I should atep to one aide, and give other a aha nee, and eucb ia my intention. I therefore think that none can truthfully ay that I am actu ated in thi move to turn over theae affair to the city official, by any other motive or desire, than to carry out the will of the people a recently expreited at the ballot box. "It I now np to the official of the city, 1 wash my band of the whole bulncMi. All city official take the ome oath of office that I do, and the law'especMly require them to enforce the lawe of the atate, and city ordi nance pertaining to gaming, apd dance hall. I do not wih, to be understood a saying that I will refuse to serve any paper Uiat may be delivered to me. I dull at all times perform the dutie of my office to the very bet of my ability." The foregoing matter speaks for. it df. It ia the, voluntary concluioq reached and expreed by the man of all others who ha the right to with draw from the initiative he took in u preying the evil. That he will do his boumlcn duty in the event due pro cec reache hi haiubs in any further attempt to dislodge the perpetrator of these public evil, goea without tho tell ing with the citizen of thia city and county. The interview is given Just a it reached thi paper from the mouth of the RherirT; and all comment la with held until tlie reaction shall aei in, and the gamblers and dance-hall mea thall have demonstrated the excee to whiuh they intend to go; that once un derstood and made evident, the Astorian will adopt ita own course in the pre mlaea and follow it to ita beat and quickest issue.
