Show AN EXPLANATION. This morning's Tribune has this : AnOgden Democrat writes the Tribune asking what we think of Judge Powers sending send-ing a present to an editor who is now under indictment in the Judge's own court, and who has shamefully traduced and lied about three or four of the officers of the same court. We think the act reveals a want of dignity, self-respect and honest pride on the part of Judge Powers which is as surprising as it is uncxplainable. The Tribune was bound to give its opinion in accordance with its information, informa-tion, but we took the trouble to inquire into the matter, and found it to be substantially sub-stantially this : The father of the bride sent an invitation to Judge Powers to attend at-tend the wedding. Judge Powers forwarded for-warded his regrets, and wired Messrs. Joslin & Park to forward the bride a set of silver spoons. This was the whole of the matter, and common courtesy and decency could demand no less. |
