Mr. Montagu'a Atiwir,
Mr. Montague') reply Is ns follows:
'Tortliaid, (Jr., April, 2.i Gay IjOtn
bnrd. Sir In answering your letter I
wish to bt'Kln with 'an .absolute and un
qurillfled denial that in as.siHUng to
frame the proposed charter, I was In
any way or manner mrtlilg for any pri
vate client tt mine, or that the special
Interest of any client of mine had any
more weight with m than that of any
other citizen or-any weight whatever
against what 1 conceive to be the pub
lie Interest. ' .. !.
"I have to say to you further that
neither the pavlnif trust nor any other
trust, corporation or person does, or
can, employ me (or any honest lawyer)
'lo lm,k aftrr it m luti i(-Mt.H at all thium'
or t any time when another employ
ment directly conflicts. I do not expect
you to believe this or to untlerKtHiul It,
becuuxe you make It qulto evident that
you are not supplied with the necessary
apparatus to appraise llslntei"ested pub
lic service, but.lt Is true and I tnake
bold to believe that my 20 years of life
In this city have persuaded piany men
and women to believe It.. , ,
' "I am content to leave thle Issue with
any who know us both or with any oth
ers who will compare the conceptions
of public service which- our respective
lives and conduct show..
'. Betalna Ellis Amendment. ,
'You say that this charter' 'knocks
out' tho Kills amendment. You, know
that this la not true. Tou know that
the charter preserves the EM amend
ment a a part of the Improvement code,
which can or.lv be amen, led imler rntfi
guards that make It- for all practical
purposes as secure us the charter It
self. I do nut 'know of anyone who
wants to repeal the Kills amendment. I
do know,- however, that the nafeguards
of which' I spen(c were, Inserted In the
present charter,' ! think, at my instance,
and that they are not In the Wood short
charter, the Benbow charter or the draft
prepared, by the people's charter Com
mittee, all of which 'knock out' the
Ellis amendment., : ' , -
"No doubt In your reckless and fran
tic deM'e to forward your candidacy
by maligning others, you are capable
of charging that ouch men as Harry
Lane, Henry K. McGinn, C. E. S. Wood,
C. H. Chapman, A. D. Crldge, II, O,
Parson and others, who prepared, and
advocated these e vera 1 charters, wern
also in the service of tho paving trust.
You tn ii:st also know Hint you Hie mak
ing the' same charge or an equally dis
graceful charge, of being hoodwinked
and deceived In mutters In which it was
tljieir duty' to know what. they, were do
ing,' against all the members -of the
present charter committed Including W.
I!..,Ayer, W. F. Woodward, I'.'l. Willi
and tho others, ' Kut nobody will believe
you, which Is the common fate of the
vendor of unintelligent slanders. '
"Let me make another suggestion to
you. The present . charter has been
before the public something hiore than
six' months. You, who profess to be a
municipal expert could certainly detect
such glaring and fatal defects, as. you
pretend to see In it now at a glance.
Yet you did not. ' You even gave your
august approval to this document in
public. You attended the charter board,
during at leant one of the last meet
ings and In response to a direct ques
tion put to you by W. H, Ayer, you de
clared yourself satisfied with the dix n
ment; Your opinion was worthless either
then .or now, possibly at both tlrhes.
... i " Bays Lombard Is .Ineligible.
"Your standards of public service are
sufficiently shown by the fact that
while yoir were a member of the coun
cil you organized and became presi
dent of a corporation which did an en
ormous and no . doubt ' profitable busi
ness with the city, during your Incum
bency. If. I am correctly informed thla
business has greatly fallen off since.
"The sincerity of your objections, to
this charter may be guessed from the
fact that the framera of it, whatever
other mistakes they have been guilty of,
hll.it, lhat i
were at fir, v i
