And so, though we may differupon political questions, this difference need not, and it seems to me,cannot, affect our official actions here. I am sure that during the pastyear I did not allow them to effect my judgment in performing theduties of my office or to enter into the city business, and I am muchgratified at the fact that at the recent election the citizens were soemphatic in approving my course.
