O’Rielly has earned the ill-will of the Watchman- Wardet is a matter in which we have as little concern as there is room for doubting the truth of the state- ment. Our cotem‘s‘ report of the last Council meeting. and the editor- in! comments on Ald. O’Rielly’s stand on the Police Commission question. prove that the writer has again whetted the knife used on the worth: Aldermen on more than one occasion in the past. The \Vatchmap-Warder is at li- berty. we suppose, to ignore the fact that six members of Council took part at a. recent committee meeting in a discussion relative to the Police Commission. at the close of which Aid. Mchea was instructed by unan- ‘ imous vote to urge Chief Nevison to lay informations against the prin- cipals in the police com-t row. Why were these men passed by and Ald.0' Rielly singled out for censure for plain epeaking? Because, declares the Watchman-Warden “Ald. O’Riel- ly formerly was active in his support of the Police Commission." run.- excna: would be «1 Valid one it well-Ionndcd, but it is dimauntcd by the facts. it is on record in the Town Clerk’s oliice that the. petition asking for the appomtment of the Commission was granted on J nae Rh, 1900. It woe signed by 99 citizen, and A10. O’Rielly’s n-uuo does not appear. Again, at a. meeting of Ccuncil held on Feb. 4th. 1901, Aid. Sinclair moved, seconded by Ald. Tcuclnburn. that the by-law appoint- ‘ing Police Commissioners be repeal- ind. Those who voted (or the reso- ' lution were the mover and ecconder and Mu ORielly. The above should be more than suf- ficient to show that the \Vatchman- Warder has not a leg to stand , when it accuses Aid. O‘Rielly of go- ‘ ing back on his record.
