MR FISH FOR RE-ELECTION.
To the Edfiiox, Sir,— Handbills are being freely circulated about town to-day charging his Worship the Mayor with having recently been guilty ef using most indelicate language in a public place, and before several highly respectable witnesses. Herewith I send you a copy of the handbill. I hope, for the credit of the high position Mr Fish now occupies, that he will be able to give this charge a public and emphatic denial.. I am reluctant to believe that he could have been guilty of using such expressions. However much 1 respect tile position he occupies, I consoler that if this charge is pot at once denied, the police have as much right to inquire into the matter as they had a few days ago in tracing and bringing to punishment two pugilists belonging to the north end of tho City, to whose sanguinary encounter their attention was drawn by a correspondent’s letter in the Daily Times. —Yours &c. Agenda. July 20. [The Mayor called upon qs to-day, apd requests us to state that ibo objectionable words attributed to him were not used by him,— Ed. E. 6’.]
