THAT CITY PRINTING.

The Times of Monday reverts to the
question of city printing, as awarded to
the Express one year ago, and reiterates
the charge made at the time the bids
were awarded, that the mayor and clerk
had awarded the printing to the hig5es.
bidder instead of the lowest. The Ex-
press in its Issue Of this morning attacks
the Times for its comments upon that
act of the mayor and his clerk, and con-
veys the impression, or at least seeks TO
convey the impression, that the Times
structure has no foundation in fact.
The readers Of the LIGHT, who were in
terested in the question of city expendi-
lures at that time, will remember how
thoroughly that matter was ventilated
In these columns under date of March
Goth, 1887, and how conclusively 1t was
shown that the city was paying under
that contract much higher price for its
advertising than was necessary, as the
lower bids from responsible journals
were set aside for the highest bid of all,
the bid of the Express. The LIGHT
makes this a charge now, as
then, against the mayor and
clerk and not against the Express, as
that journal naturally and rightfully
accepted the work awarded and Is not
now nor never has been charged by the
LIGHT with any underhand dealing in
the premises. The charge of unfair
dealing is made agsint the parties who
opened the bids and recommended
the award knowing that it was not
made to the lowest bidder as advertised
for and provided for.
The bids OF the several papers for that
work, city advertising, were as follows:
LIGHT--Three and half cents per line,
first insertion; one thirty-sixth of a cent
each subsequent insertion.
Times-one and halt cents first in
sertion per line; one half cent each sub
sequent insertion.
Express-no charge frat insertion
three cents each subsequent insertion.
These were the bids which came
before the mayor and his clerk and the
award was made to the Express. In the
case cited by the Times of Monday
City Assessors Notice, the cost Of said
notice to the city, under the bids made
would have been as follows:

RANDALL,S TARIFF BILL.

Those who fondly dreamed their souls
into belief that Randall was at all like.
ly to fall into line with Mills and sup
port In any way his vicious tariff bthi
have been rudely awakened. The hhl OF
Mr.. Randall introduced into the house
yesterday is a bill for tariff revision, not
tariff reduction. 1t does not sacrifice
southern industries to New England In
te-esttis. &Hi competitions; it does not
dodge the question OF internal revenue;
it does not Increase the surplus by open
ing the gates for certain imports at such
rates as will materially Increase the re-
ceipts from duties by largely augment
ing the amount of impOrtafions. said i'm
portations being Increased by the de-
struction of American production. 1t
carefully reyises the whole list OF duti-
able articles and while it adds some
things to the free list is so framed as to
do two things which the bill OF Mills can
not accomplish, 1t will protect American
industries and reduce the revenues OF
the country. II will raise duties
in some instances while lessening them
In many others. The text of the bill
ia quite voluminous, being nearly
twice as lengthy as that of the Mills bill.
The cardinal principle underlying the
whole measure as presented by Mr.. Ran
dali appears to be this: The difference
in the cost of producing commodities In
this and other countries where no natu-
| raj causes prevent their production In
! abundance In this country, has been
carefully studied, and in this matter OF
tariff revision this question of cost Of
production has been even kept carefully
In view. The aim of the bill appears to
have been also to put and keep all oul
industries upon level and prevent the
power OF the government from being
used to advantage Of one to the disadVan'
tsge Of another. The line Of fair com
petition between the cost of production
| in this country and in other countrie'
has been very closely followed. To re-
duee duties below this line, increases
importatIons ard consequently inoreases
revenue; to maintain duties slightly II
excess Of this line of cost, prevents i'm
portatiOns. increases home productions
and, while maintaining prices at home
and keeping up wages, tends to reduce
revenue. This is the principle upor
which Mr.. Randall has worked ont the
details Of his bin. How successfully
this hes been done, remains as yet al
open question, but it is e&ident that ar

AN INCREASE OF LIGHT.

The LIGHT comes to its readers this
evening enlarged in form. This is only
the beginning Of changes contemplated
which, within the next ninety days will
make regular electric LIGHT OF the best
evening daily in Texas. Our order for
folder and cutter has not yet been filled.
owing to press of orders at the manu-
factory, but it will come in due process
of time, and with 1t the other improve
ments contemplated. The LIGHT, as the
only republican daily in Texas. will put
itself In fighting trim for the campaign,
and asks every true republican who
thinks more of his party and its princi-
pies than Of mere patronage to rally to
its support this year.

There are the facts and figures and
from them the public who pay the bills
can draw their own conclusions con-
corning the act of which the Times so
Justly complained In Its Monday issue.
The disappointment OF the Express
In securing less amount In gross for Its
work than 1t had figured upon, cuts no
figure. 1t is not question Of profits
and losses to the newspapers, but ques-
ton of righteous or Ubiquitous pro-
cedure on the part Of those who made
the award. The journals of this city are
supposed to stand on an equality before
the council and their bids should have
been accepted upon their merits.
Not only was this not the case 80 far
as the advertising is concerned. but 1t
was not the case In awarding contract
for Job printing. Will his honor. the
mayor, or his clerk, or some one in
sterested, explain how it::was that only
bids on portion of the necessary blanks
were considered and the rest set aside =!
How it was that the lowest bidder on
few specially accepted blanks was
awarded the contract for all the blanks,
and no restrictions made upon the
charge on all not specified in the cata-
logue presented? Will some one inform
the curious cuss who noses around this
Office, how it was that the knowledge
was obtained before that session OF
council, Monday, March %, 1887 that
the LIGHT office was left out in the cold.
1t is not question of dollars and cents.
The profits arising from the city print
ing do not cut very elaborate figure In
the sum total of any newspapers re.
ceipts In this city, but as each journal
pays Its way. pays Its taxes, and issup-
posed to be on an equal footing before
the law. state. county and municipal. 1t
has right to expect and demand fair
consideration and just examination OF
les claims when it comes into competi-
ton with others for city patronage In 3
law full and regular and strictly business
way.
The city printing is again to be award
ed. The LIGHT will closely follow up
the trail OF the bids offered and awarded
in Its own department of business and,
as heretofore, will not fail to speak plain
ly, much more plainly than before, ifsny
unfair dealing with the people by those
whom they have so unwisely chosen to
administer municipal affairs 10 this
city.

ALLEN @. THURMAN ACCEPTS.
He Says the Interest of the County
Require Cleveland's Reelection.

COLUMBUS, O., June 2s.-The COM
mittee appointed at the st. Louis Con-
vention TO officially notify Hon Allen
G. Thurman of his nomination for the
ice-Presidency arrived here at nine
O'Clock this morning by special train.
There was forty-one in the party, in
Guiding several members Of the Nation
al Committee.
At 1 o'clock the committee, escorted
by Reception Committee, were driven
to the Judges residence and performed
their official duty. The committee was
received in the parlors of the Thurman
residence.
Chairman Collins very briefly stated
the object Of the call, when Charles ID.
Jacob, Mayor of Louisville, KY, read
the formal letter of notification. It
was signed by all members of the COM
mittee. Addressing Judge Thurman,
he said:
"You embrace the highest type Of
American citizenship, and, no matter
what the crisis might be, the Govern
ment would be safe in your hands"
In reply, Judge Thurman thanked
the committee for their courtesy. He
said he was profoundly grateful for the
nomination because it was unsought
and undesired by hIm-not that he un-
derestimated the distinction, but he had
ceased to be ambitious for public hon.
ors. The country is honestly governed
he said, and the interests Of the coun.
try require Cleveland's reelection; and
the hope that he might contribute to
this result had its influence in inducing
him to accept. He expressed himself
as being in favor Of reducing taxation
so that a surplus would not accumulate
in the Treasury, which he believed to
be great danger to the institutions Of
the country.
Judge Thurman was frequently ap
'plauded. An informal reception fol
lowed, in which Mrs. Thurman partici'
pated. The committee left for Wash
ington at Up. m.
