doubt whether some of the new City
Councilmen know that there ever was
contract ordinance providing for the
giving of all estimated contracts ex-
ceeding fifty dollars to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder. The foundries in this
city are the best in the country, aud
compete successfully in getting con-
tracts from Philadelphia and New York
and yet We never hear ally city contracts
for castings for several years past
having been furnished by Mr.. II. f.
Pickels, Mr.. Charles Stewart or the
Stotsenburgs. This is strange consider
ing the fact that they are our own towns
men and are taxed heavily to support
the city government. The fact that the
gentlemen named are all Republicans
and there being no Democratic foundry
in the city, should not
drive the city work to other cities. We
do not know that it does, but it has that
appearance.

Where Is our Contract Ordinance.

Gan anybody tell what has become of
the contract system in the City Coun-
Gil for city work When the tiI,. are
read we find there are Iarp, amounts Of
~ paid to man utacturers in other
CITIES. We have never heard Of the re-
peal of the ordinance providing for the
giving CT contracts for work done and
materials furnished for the city, to the
lowest responsible bidder. 1t has been
long time since an advertisement has
appeared in any of our city papers ask
lug for proposals for castings though
the reading of large bills due foreign
contractors for such material is nothing
unusual. A sem1lance is still kept up
for asking proposals for grading and
occasional paving jobs, and for large
lots of machinery, but with these ex-
ceptions, the old plan of asking propo.
sails for all work and materials costing
more than fifty dollars seems to be en-.
tirely lost sigh Of If the building of
traps in the streets leading to the Chris
tiana was let cut by contract to the low
est bidder, nobody scans TO know it.
There certainly WAS no public an
nOuncement maze of the fact, and if
the letting of castings-such as gutter
plates and crossings, have been let ort
by contract to the lowest bidder, the
public which pays the taxes know moth
ing about it. 1t is true that large guam
titles Of castings aud machinery are
brought here from other cities making
1t appear that Wilmington has neither
machine shops nor f)undries, or else
that the Wilmington manufacturers
are not competent to make machinery
and castings for tha public works OF
their own city. We have an idea that
the contract ordinance is shamefully
violated; that jobs of work such as
building the Christiana traps were let
out without even asking who would
strucJ them the cheapest-indeed we

GEN. GRANT.
His Views Upon the Pr

His Views Upon the Presidents Removal.
CHICAGO Sept. 7.-Gen. Grant, in converse
ton with reporter of the Inter-Ocean, said
that, after attending the soldiers reunion at
Bloomington, Illinois, he would return east as
fast as cars would carry him, leaving on Fri
day.
On being Intercepted regarding the removal
of President Gerfeld he said he considered 1T
an absolute necessity, because the President
desired it, and because of the unhealthy char
acter of Washington in the fall. AS to his re-
covery he had not so strong hope as he would
like to have, but If he recovered it would be
because of his removal. He had no doubt
that condition of affairs exists which may
require the Vice President to act as President.
Neither the Constitution nor the laws of the
United States provide how disability shall be
declared, and it would be wholly inappropriate
for the Vice President, unasked, to make
move toward assuming the duties of the Presi-
Dental chair If ANYTHING were done, the
physicians should certify to the Cabinet that
they considered the President unable to per-
form his official duties; then the Cabinet
might consider this certificate and forward it
to the Vice President, requesting him to act as
President during Mr.. Garfeld's disability.
There is nothing illegal about this However,
there is no present necessity. The govern
ment can get along well enough until Congress
meets.
Regarding New York politics, he said that
matter didn't trouble him much now. The
campaign could not be successfully conducted
without the aid of Conkling.

BRILLIANT RECEPTION TO GEN.
SHERMAN.

WORCESTER, Sept Cen. VIM. T. Sher-
man arrived here from New London this morn
ing and went 10 the residence of Senator Geo.
f. Hoar without escort. Later parade was
formed with the Worcester City Guards, Light
Infantry and Continentals, with the Grand
Army of the Republic as a guard of honor,
and proceeded to Senator Hoar's house, where
Gen. Sherman, Gov. Long and staff were re-
ceived and escorted to the New England Fair
grounds, where he was received by the New
England Agricultural Society, by whose invi-
tation he visits the city. On the way the Cen
eral dismounted to walk through the ranks of
the school children that were assembled on
Court Hill As he passed they sang March
ing through Georgia. and presented him with
bouquets. While passing Plymouth church
the chimes played the same air and at one
other point Battery B fred salute of ninety
five guns.
At the fair grounds Gen. Sherman was re-
ceived by the officers of the society and then
presented to Gov. Long as the guest OF the
Commonwealth as well as of the New Eng
land Society and the city of Worcester. Gov.
Long, in few brief remarks, presented him
to the people, who were massed around the
Judges stand in enormous numbers.
This afternoon, at o'clock, Gen. Sherman
will be entertained by the City Government of
Worcester. Later he will visit Grand Army
Hall as the guest of Post 10 and also of the
Commonwealth Club. He is the especial
guest of Senator Hoar, with headquarters at
his house, while he remains in Worcester.

take cup of coffee with my friend Samuel-but he
membered with much tenderness and esteem by his
SB-Eso DANIEL WEBSTER.
The Mr. Fessenden alluded to in the above
was the first minister of Fryeburg, and the
grandfather of the deceased Senator. He came
here from Harvard college in 1775, and till his
death in 1906 was a beloved pastor. He COM
menced on a salary of as pounds year, paya-
BILE in corn at three shillings a bushel. / have
unearthed one of his sermons, and in point of
mechanical execution it is certainly a literary
curiosity. In print, am assured, it would
take more than an hour in the perusal, yet it
is written on four pages of paper considerably
less in size than ordinary commercial note.
Nobody would think of reading it now without
a microscope, get he read it easily and without
glasses, so they say.
Fryeburg is full Of summer boarders. Even
Wall street has penetrated here-and come to
stay. Messrs. Bradbury and Post have sum-
mer residences here, two of the prettiest in
town; considering the prices it is a wonder
more do not come. The fact is, man who is
barely able to pick his teeth on thu Astor
house steps, is as good as millionaire here.
For week or two past, the visitor in the most
demand has been the beloved poet, Whittier.
Almost an octogcnarian, he looks like man
about 60. 1t is a little difficult to converse
with him on account of his deafness, unless,
as is not often the case you can get him to do
most of the talking. Yet everybody is graft
fed to take the old saint by the hand and wish
him God speed.
