Whereas. 1t having come to the knowledge of
the committee that the express understanding
upon which such appropriation made was
not being fulfilled, it voted that further pay
ment would be made on such account; and.
Whereas. Subsequent to election Mr.. Goodnow
without authority of this committee. made a.
further payment on such appropriation; now.
Resolved That it is the opinion of this COM
mittee that such payment should not have been
made by Mr.. Goodnow. well for the reason
that the agreement, which the basis thereof
had been violated, as because he had opportunity
to know, and should have known. that the COM
mittce did not intend to make any further pay
ment the account referred tD. and because it

this committee be, and hereby is, directed to
pay him the amount paid out on the account
in question, to-wit, the sum of $3.50
Since certain unfounded rumors cur
rent with respect to the said contribution
of the Minneapolis Brewing Company, and
the purpose to which the same was applied
we append further summary of facts. LIST,
Mr.. Goodnow obtained such contribution
without the knowledge of this committee
and did not mention or report the same
to it, nor to any member thereof, until
long after the election and until after it
had been published in certain Of the daily
papers, that he had procured such con-
tribution.
End. 1t appears that substantially all of
this contribution was still in Mr. Good
noW's possession unexpended, several DAYS
after the election, notwithstanding state
ments by him to the contrary. 1t also
appears that he expended but $62 50 of
such money for special work of any kind
other than had been authorized by this
committee, viz: $3.50 for a cartoon new
er published and SD paid by him to a
party for work, both Of which amounts
were disallowed by this committee. That
so far as this committee can learn such
amount covers all money paid out by
him during the campaign for the city
nominees.
3rd That no part of said contribution ex-
cent as last above stated was expended by
Mr. Goodnow for the election OF Mr.. Pratt
as mayor of Minneapolis, nor for any pur-
poses other than those undertaken by this
committee.
That Mr. Pratt nor any city nominee was
aware that any contribution to the cam
paien fund was to be asked, sought or OBJ
tanned by Mr. Goodnow, or anybody. from
said brewing company, until days after it
had been in Mr.. Goodnow's possession, and
that the same was obtained wholly without
Mr. Pratt's knowledge and without pieGge
| or promise on the part of anybody.
