to me to again swim q match with him. His state
ment of mot being satisfied by the last trial for
various reasons" and not giving those "va-
rious reasons." may lead the public to infer
that his dissatisfaction proceeds from some
fault or discourtesy OF mine. Being an
Interested party would like to know the
various reasons he aludes to- am prepared to
meet Captain Webb giving him the same
privileges In last for anywhere from ten
to twenty miles, for more thousand dollars q

gest the water to bo In Boston Harbor and the race

Mr. Hutchinson supported the minority report.
He supported the award, as it was to be made on
business principles. Ii is question which party
will do the work for the least money. He alluded to
the cost of printing in 1856 when it, the last Demo-
cratic year, was $2O,sO0, and in the year before $ls
0lO, and in the years succeeding some $4,000, to
show that the argument of the past is not all one
way, but it has nothing to do with the past. He
said give it to the lowest bidder, be he Greenback,
Democ at or Republican.
Mr., Young didn't see how this matter could be
seriously cousidered. last year John M. Ada M
was appointed sub. committee by the finance COM
mttee and reported to that committee that no other
parties could do the STATE printing as low Spague
Owsn s. Nash.
Mr.. Anderson supposed every member Of the COM
mittee had acted conscientiously. He spoke in re-
gard to the bid of George E. Mason the seconed Did,
10 S-5 per cent. lower than Pillsbury & Co.
Mr.. Harrington enquired whether Mr.. Perry al
legged that the accounts not settled for accord
ing to the contract Mr. p said he did not make such
an assertion.
Mr.. Pickard he had a talk with Mr.. Adams and
that he substantiated what Mr.. Young said. He
meut on in general way to charge that Sprague,
Owen & NASH had received prices above ther con-
tract, in written argument, and advocated giving
the business to party friends for political purposes.
The matter was under consideration at time of adj
journment.
