committee, addressed to the President, dated
February 20, IN which they assure him that the
statement made to HIM Of the nomination having
the approval Of the majority Of the delegation, and
which was used to induce him to make the NOM
nation, was untrue. They therefore respectfully,
but firmly. urge that the nomination be withdrawn,
as having been made not only upon misrepre-
sented facts, but az contrary to sound policy and
to the long established usages Of the party to
which the President undoubtedly supposed
he was conforming. They object to the
nomination upon the broader grounds that 1t was
irregularly brought about by one man, General
Butler; that It was unfit, impo,itic and against
the interests OF the mercantile community, the
great republican party and Of the whole country.
But they are sure that no man who knows the
surprise with which the entire community,
whether friendly or otherwise to the can
didate, learned the appointment to the most
important federal ONCE in New England
OF man comparatively inexperienced and with
only the local reputation OF q political partisan,
viii for moment believe that any injury will be
done him by the nomination and withdrawal taken
together. The letter concludes as follows 1--WE
once more entreat you not to injure yourself and
us by apparently taking sides in our local differ
ences, as you will surely appear to do II nomna-
ton made In the irregular manner, to which we
have frankly called your attention, shall be con-
summated."

cussion ensued as to the best means for a thor
Ough canvass OF the state. There was an evident
desire in the committee to secure harmony OF

The Struggle for Contracts.


The Struggle for Contracts.
The clerks OF the Departments OF Works and
Finance were busy yesterday computing the
amounts of the lists opened by Messrs. Green and
Van Mort on Wednesday afternoon. The bids are
extraordinarily low, and the Deputy Supern-
tendent OF Works, Mr.. Barker, said the prices
asked by some of the contractors were so small
that they scarcely admitted OF a proper execu.
ton OF the work. "There, for instance he said
''there is bid for paving at 81 80 per cubic yard
and don't believe the contractor would get the
stone at tnat price," He thought 1t an unior-
tunate provision OF the law which compelled the
CONTRACT 10 tne lowest bidder, Tor
very frequently these extraordinarily low
,na plds nv were o based Sao upon the expectation
Under the Croton Aqueduct Board there were TWO
or three inspectors for every job. and they watched
the work so carefully that contractors had to raise
their bids. Now that Comptroller GREEN'S parsi-
mony and spleen towards Mr.. Van Mort have rem
dered IL impossible for the latter to employ sufi-
clent NUMBER OF inspectors, the contractors have
reduced their bids to the lowest possible figures,
IN the lond expectation that there will be no
auequate oversight over the execution OF the con.
tracts. Mr. Barker thinks that it should be lett to
Ghe discretlon OF the Commissioners OF Works and
G,omptroLer ,npt to reject any od-6e It even the
lowest-which might not be in the best interests OF
tne city. AS 1t is, the law cannot be evaded, and
tne work must be awarded TO the lowest bidder.
and Mr.. Van Mort promises do all that Is in his
done.
Comptroller Green went yesterday to Police
Headquarters 10 attend the opening OF bids Tor
furnishing 5000 registry books 500 copies of the
Eiection Law pamphlet and 1000 copies OF the
Election District Boundaries pamphlet for the
Election Bureau. There were ten bids the highest
being made by Clarence Levy, for s2355 So,
and the lowest, by Lange, Little Il Co.. for $l.302.
The bid was awarded to the last named firm. To-
day the Comptroller Will proceed TO the Fire De-
partment to attend the opening OF bids for bulld.
