Singleton versus Woods.

Newton Report
Since our return to Newton we
have watcned The Congressional

taken the pains TO ask every man
we cOu q see how the feeling was

single instance the answer from the
country have been that the HeIgh>

THE PRINTING CONTRACT.

In the locs columns of the APPEAL the in.
side history Of the award of the State Print
ing contract is given to the public as fully as
the limited space would permit. We have. we
think, made sufficient showing by the actual
figures to convince any unprejudiced reader
that the APPEALS bid was the lowest. 1t is
reduced to simple mathematical demonstra-
ton. All the cards which the State Expert
may publish will not enable HIM to argue
away the fact that 25 cents per thousand is
lower than 80 cents per thousand On the
same principle So per thousand for banks is
lower than % per thousand. One dollar for
rule and figure work i. lower than one dollar
and eleven cents; and rs cents for figure
work and 80 cents for rule work is a palmer
specification than no bid at all. The way i'll
which Putnam oefogged the Board Of Com
missioners is in no way discreditable to them.
None of them knew anything about typo
graphical terms, and made the award as Put
nam directed, on the superstition that he was
an honest man. Since we have shown his
hand thoroughly i'll the matter by his own
letter over his own signature (Which he will
probably deny in to- morrow's Eiskrprise), we
will also show the motive which governed his
action. Some years ago Putnam was a printer
in the APPEAL Office and was discharged. He
afterwards sought the nomination of State
Printer and was beaten by 81. R. Mighels.
He openly vowed vengeance and managed to
get it when he BETRAYED the confidence Of the
Board of Commissioners and got them to
award contract to Marshall Robinson, his
friend, and throw out the bid of Fl. r.
Mighels, whose enemy he was If Mr.. Put
nam wants any proof of his record for flag
rant abuse eff confidence VIC can produce the
records written by his own hand and signed
in his own name.

IN JUSTICE TO MR.. ROBINSON.

The editor of the Times assured us yester-
day morning that the questions put by him
did not come from Mr.. Robinson. Later in
the day gentleman called at the Office and in
formed us that the questions in the Times came
from u conversation he had with some parties
in the presence of the Times editor He
merely mentioned them as rumors. The
Times editor also inspected the bids at the
Controllers Office yesterday and last night ad.
mits that it was in error. 1t also says:
1t is but justice to add that Mr. Hobart,
who was member of the Board which &C.
cepted the bid of Mr.. Robinson, once stated
that he regretted having allowed himself to
cast his vote as he did, having since been con-
vinced that the bid of the APPEAL was much
the lowest
We have no fight to make against Mr.. Rob
inson in securing the contract if he could.
We have been informed that he went to Vir-
ginia City the day before the bids were opened
to see Mr.. Putnam. We have no word OF
blame for even this, as people are generally
supposed to secure contracts the best way they
can. If Robinson could make tool of Put
nam he simply took advantage Of his oppor-
tunities. We propose to show, however, that
he charged on some occasions o higher price
for work than rated in his bid, and will also
show that Putnam, sworn officer of the
State, signed the bills as correct. When the
APPEAL called the attention of the Board to
the fact they refused to allow the bill, as the
overcharge was too plain to be overlooked.
A Dreadful DlLRMMA.-lt is estimaetd
that about twenty men were entrusted with
the handling of the Senatorial sack in Carson
on election day. From the appearance of the
tally list very little of this money was en-
pended for the corruption of voters A man
who has, say thousand dollars in his pos
session is placed in q very perple1ing dilemma
He reasons with himself, "If set about cor
rupting my fellow men, I will be outraging
public decency; tempting myibrother voter to
sell his American or foreign birthright, las
the case may be) and trampling on the con-
stitution and the laws. If aftor election re-
turn the money, the sack owner will say that
l am unworthy to be trusted with an import
ant political commission and won't trust me
next year; in that case the coin will fall into
the hands of designing men who will corrupt
the people and befoul the purity of the ballot
box" In the midst of this dilemma he set
ties the question by pocketing the money
himself. This is really the best way and if
all who received coin to disburse wsuld salt
the money down and vote their own, the mil
lionaires would spend thousands, land yet,'
as Jones says, ono one be corrupted"
