Show ONLY JUSTICE DEMANDED FROM the testimony tee adduced in the investigation before the mayor it appears that he was perfectly justified in removing the officers charged with conduct incompatible with their official positions his strictures on the magis who seems to have shared in their orgies seem also to be warranted by the evidence but his assault on the city councilmen Coun oilmen who obtained the proofs simply because they did so does not strike us as very consistent or fair to those gentlemen does the mayor mean to it was unofficial or wrong for public men to investigate for themselves the conduct of police officers officer suspected of gross groes improprieties does he be mean to say that a private citizen would have oo no right to satisfy himself on that point it is altogether probable that if it had 11 ad not been for the vigilance of those council men the evil complained of gouid would have gone on un rebuked and perhaps unknown even by the mayor let us have light on this matter but let jet us also have justice if these gentlemen did their duty they must not be blamed for it even by the executive of the city the committee in this matter are expected to do what is right and nothing more |
