Show THE PUTBID CONSPIRACY. Lord, how the conspirators ugaiust Sheets are given to malignant and senseless lyingl Hero comes tho Deserot Nows, with a bald and baseless base-less statement that Tho Tribune is ut tcring tho "command," "Do uot squeal!" It is an atrocious falsehood. On the contrary, we havo called, and now call, for a rigid and thorough, open investigation, in -which tho conspirators shall do their worst. Another of tho conspirators is howling howl-ing against" the "compounding, of felony," fel-ony," without any felony in sight, uu loss it is in tho Smith adultery case, which the County Attorney appears to be compounding, and to hide which compounding is no doubt part of the scheme in the blatant and cowardly, wolfish howl that is being raised against Sheetfl. The case is an old one, but it is J dragged forth to serve a partisan ewi, and in no way to serve the public inter- ' ests, nor to advauco the cause of good order. Chief Sheets has made n gallant, eflicienl oflicor; ho has rid the town of thugs and hold-ups, and has conducted himself with propriety and decorum. Ho is in the way of the lawless element which had thing3 agreeable to itself under tho Morris administration. It is eminently desirable to that gang to get rid of him. The combination of thugs and hold-ups with the church politicians politi-cians for that purpose is filling the city with senseless uproar. Tho idea ihat Sheets, or any other man, would be in a shady deal, openly, publicly, in the presence of several persons, and where any one could come in at will, is too preposterous to consider. The bottom facts will all be brought .out, to the confusion of the' conspirators, conspira-tors, and their allies, the church politicians poli-ticians and' the thugs and hold-ups, whose undying enmity Sheets earned by suppressing them. . . |
