The resolution was adopted on . rising
vote, and on motion Of Delegate Carlisle
ordered spread upon the minutes, and tho
convention adjourned.
Bids were opened in the house Of dele
zates from printers offering to print the
revised ordinances. The bids were - fol-
lows: Lowman Il Hanford, 8. 2s4: Allen
d Calvert, $3.4i6; Pioneer Printing Com
pany. 1895: F. Anthony. s., 1856; Koch &
Oakley. 1895.
Lowman & Hanford also submitted q
remonstrance against accepting the bid Of
+. Anthony. because he has no type or
printing press, and that the work would
be done by the Sunset Printing Company,
of which Delegate Coryell was . member.
They also objected that, by the council
requiring the type to be long primer, some
firms were unable to compete with the
Sunset Printing Company.
President Kloeber, from the floor (call-
ing Mr.. Drew to the chairl moved that it
be tabled.
Delegate Carlisle moved az substitute
that it be returned to the writer. 1t was
an unwarranted reflection upon q mem
Der Of that house.
Delegate Coryell hoped the motion
would not prevail. Az he was involved he
hoped the house would investigate the
matter as far - he was concerned.
Mr.. Kloeber said that never before had
such . serious charge been made against .
member Of tho administration.
Mr.. Coryell had retired outside the bar,
and Mr.. Drew. interrupting the speaker,
summoned him to. return. He admired
the sentiment, he said, which prompted
Mr.. Coryell's withdrawal, but nobody en-
tertained any doubt in that house Is to
Mr.. Coryell's probity.
Mr.. Kloeber resuming said Lowman Il
Hanford had stated that the ordinance
was drawn by . committee of which Mr..
Coryell was . member. 1t goes ON to
state that the Sunset Company was to
share in the profits. He thought it q
high-handed thing to say Of any member
of an administration unless backed up.
He had inquired into the matter and he
knew the Sunset Printing Company did
not ask Anthony to put in the bid. He
had only asked that firm what tho cost of
printing would DO if he put in . bid.
They all knew that Mr.. Coryell had par
ticularly RETAINED from interfering in any
way except at their request to introduce
books showing long primer type and small
plea type. Mr.. Coryeli had shown great
delicacy in the matter and the speaker de-
nounced the allegation a. q lie. In con.
clusion he moved that the bid Of +.
Anthony be accepted.
The motion was carried, and the bids
sent to the board of aldermen.
In that house the bids were also rea /.
When the remonstrance was read, Dele
gate earle occupying the chair. Alderman
Jordan moved that Anthony's bid be &C
cepted. Alderman Miller seconded. and
the motion was carried without word of
discussion.
A concurrent resolution was adopted
providing that the Democratic central
committee, the Republican central COM
mittee and Peoples party city central COM
'mlttee be requested to send in names for
judges Of election to act at the proposed
special election for the issue of bonds. It
