The candidates in opposition were VII
liam t. Lyman. Esq, and l.. G. Vande-
grift, Esq. Mr.. Nandegrift, however, re-
ceived no votes, and he had not made
contest for the reason that he did not
care to antagonize Mr.. Turner. The can
didacy Of Mr.. Lyman is said to have been
the result OF scheme to make J. Frank
biggs Esq. attorney for the Trustees
OF the Poor, position held by
Mr. Lyman. Every effort was made by
the opposition to Mr.. Turner 10 defeat
him. The Trustees OF the Poor, resident
in the city, worked hard against
him, Their plan was to delay the cleo
ton until after next Tuesday so as TO
enable the friends Of MIR. Lyman to have
more time to work on the members of
Council But when the caucus met the
idea Of postponement was never men
toned because it was seen that the city
solicitor had bakers dozen bagged.
MIR. Turner was chosen chiefly because
Of two reasons He got seven votes on
July /, 1887, for the same Office. and these
were still there for him. The remaining
six he got from men who wished to
rebuke Governor Blggs. Mr.. Turner will
be elected in Council tonight

WITHDRAWING THEIR CONTRACTS.
The Grocers do Not Take Kindly to the
Plans of Awarding Contracts.

Plans of Awarding Contracts.
Several of the grosers who received
the contracts for supplying New Castle
county almshouse with groceries in the
coming quarter, have notified Superin-
tendent Guthrie of their inability to
stand by their bids under the considera-
tons which governed the awards.
B. f. OHara, No. 6l2 West Second
street, G. L. Simmons. Second and Pop
lar street and William II. Mccarthy,
Eighth and Poplar streets, have with
drawn their bids. George w. Gray,
Second and King street, received two
awards for sal soda at / / cents pound,
and No. mackerel, at S22 barrel He
was out of town to-day so that his
decision could not be learned. Lynch &
Leary, Fourth and Madison streets, and
G. w. Lodge & Sons, Seventh and King
streets will furnish goods as per contract.
A member of the former firm told a re-
porter of the EVENING JOURNAL that
they bid with the understanding that the
contract for furnishing each article
would be given to the lowest bidder.
Messrs. G. W. Lodge and Son said that,
although they bid believing that the
award would be made on the old system,
yet they were satisfied and viii fill their
contract. William H. Mccarthy one OF
the grocers who have withdrawn their
bids, was seen by an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter this morning. He said II viii
not furnish the articles on those conai
tions The advertisement for pro
posals made no conditions and
| bid on the sGpposition that | would
receive the whole contract or none what.
ever. The furnishing of few articles
would not pay man for the hauling. and
the profits in all cases are small. IL | had
received the contract for the whole list |
would have filed it, because had estimated
that / could make a living profit, but for
a portion of the list | cannot. / think

because in any event grocer could make
no profit on single article. OF course
If | had known Of the new system would
have acted accordingly and been satisfied.
q. l. Simmons, Second and Poplar st-.,
made in effect the same statement as he
expressed before the Trustees of the Poor
yesterday, when he said that he did not
know of the new way Of awarding the
contracts and was consequently at u dis
advantage. Under the new resolution os
the board the superintendent buys all
extras where he may see fit, and as this
was one of the dependencies of former
bidders, its division has created dissatis-
faction.
superintendent Guthrie was seen this
morning regarding this matter. Under
the circumstances he thought that
special meeting of the trustees would
have to be called to take satisfactory ac
tion on the rejected awards When the
reporter asked him whether the contracts
could not be divided between Lynch &
Leary and G. w. Lodge & Son he replied
that the trustees would have to decide
that
In speaking of the matter of extras
Mr. Guthrie said it had always been his
plan to buy at the best place for the
lowest money, and he had given satisfac-
ton.
