You ran easily ace tbe un:'etant position In which this report pla.' ui with, not only Dresser and the friends of the Chronicle, but with citizens generally. gen-erally. 1 am a public officer and have no right to any anything wbl.:h dls rredlta Dresser's paper or yours either. I have said nothing which cuuld be Interpreted In-terpreted to do this, and certainly do not want to be represented aa narrow and unfair when there Is nothing to warrant or even auggest such a charge.
