The Legality of the boards Action Dis
cussed-Out TO tho County House.
The Supervisors met al the usual hour
yesterday morning. and after the allowing
of some accounts Prosecuting Attorney stu
art, in answer to the question as TO the le-
gality of the action Of the Board, said that
if the Board had on hand or is certain that
the county will realize as the evails of the
bonds voted for building 9 court house, Il
sufficient sum to meet the requirements Of
the contract, then he sees no objection to
entering into the contract proposed. He
also said that the Board had full authority
10 make contracts Of this kind, bat mas
much as the Board can only borrow or
raise by tax IN any one ysar the sum Of
81. coo unless by vote OF the people, il is
limited in the amount TO be expended 10
the amount of money on hand.
The legality of the action Of the Board IN
letting the contract 10 the Western Con
structioD CO.. was discussed by the mem
bers in very lively manner. The resO-
luton under which the people voted $50.
| 900 for the erection OF o court khOuse called
| for interest not TO exceed per cent, bul
the Board believes that the county can get
the money for less. or else receive big
bonus. The county has already spent
s. 600 in getting the work along thus far
and the effort TO throw over all this work
a. this time seemed entirely wrong and
| foolish TO large number of members. Nj
| Colson said his constituents were well
satisfied and wanted to see the work com
| menced, Notwithstanding the additional
| $4,000 needed. The discussion was spirited.
| and Supervisor Loomis said be hoped the
| Board would sop wrangiing and carry out
| the wishes of the people
Mr. Guiliiord accused the Court House
Committee Of scheming and lively discus
sion followed in regard TO the matter.
The report of the Prosecuting Attorney
was adopted only one voting against it.
| The discussion oft legality Of the let
| ting Of the contract Was postponed until the
| Board can find whether the bonds can be
sold for enough TO cover the 100000 re-
| quired.
The Finance Committee was instructed
TO ascertain what premium can be obtained
oD the bonds. AT the rate of per cent. in
terest. and report before the contract is exc

The Turn of the Tide shown by the Large
supply OF Republican Money.
NNsNss,Nt 1t>tsNAs-~tNANN.
NEW YORK. Oct. l7.-Democratic monev
seeking wagers with Republicans was fully
accommodated tonight at the Holman
House. where several bets were made in
dicative of the current Of sentiment. EI-
else Commissioner John ID. Townsend laid
. wager of $1,000 even with Stephen b.
French that Cleveland would bs elected.
and Railroad Contractor w. b. Hayes bet
l.. b. Seaver, of Boston, the same amount
on the election OF Harrison. Mr.. HAYES
offered TO NEE; Mr.. Seaver tomorrow al the
bank and put up ten thousand cash
on the same ground, hut this was
not scceded TO. Mr.. Townsend also
had some week. ago offered 10 bet Mr.
French $4,000 even on the election OF
Cleveland but tonight he declined to make
to make this good. Mr.. French, however
insisted upon the performance of the con-
tract and finally upon Mr.. Townsend solic.
itation, the amount was liked at s., 500 and
they completed the bet at this figure. The
Democratic sporting men are not apparent
ly very anxious TO place much money al
this iuncture on the general result and are
endeaYoring TO make the issue al present
upon the local Assembly district issues.
