and denying statements vio with a brazen mendacity only equalled equal led by this stupidity it falsified the returns with which we have met its ignorant charges and publishes only enough of them to leave it partially above water with enough of life to clutch shadows and spew out personal insinuations in order to leave it utterly without ground for its bombastic challenge as to the use of public funds by the last council we again give in briet the financial report for the two years aa shown by the official documents which are as accessible to the corn as to ourselves the statement is repeated solely for the benefit of that indolent sheet and the very few of its readers who from narrowness of corn might be led to accept any of its utterances as true the gentlemen appealed to may be considered as standing up and they have no difficulty whatever and experience no embarrassment in answering every charge innuendo and misstatement we admit having received during the last councils
