worth took the platform to decline. He
declared that he was not a candidate
in any sense. He withdrew and nomi-
mated Major David Cunningham in a
speech which created the most credit
able display of enthusiasm during the
Convention. 1t was evident that Mr..
Hollingsworth was not On the slaee, as
he was urged by some OF the leaders on
the stage to make his speech of declina-
ton.
Hon. S. K. Mclaughlin, of Harrison
county, placed another candidate before
the convention in opposition to Major
cunningham, who is from the same
county. He named DR.. S. B. McGavran
in one of the best speeches OF Inc after
noon. Delegate Miles Saunders spoke
for the minority in Harrison, and the
contest promised to stir up a first-class
rumpus He had not fairly started I'M
til delegates began TO cry him down.
1t was some minutes before he was able
to proceed, but he pluckily stood his
ground and was heard to the end.
The roll call of counties was demand
ed. A delegate from Harrison asked
leave to withdraw the Harrison delega-
ton. The leave was not granted, but
the delegates filed out of the hall amid
a storm of Kisses from all points Of the
house. While the delegates were
wrangling on points of order, the Har-
rison county delegation returned.
DR.. McGavran made his way to the
stage and made speech of withdrawal
in the interest of harmony and because
he regarded his defeat as inevitable.
He also eulogized Major Cunningham.
The rules were then suspended and Ma
jor Cunningham was elected by accla-
nation.
There were calls for Mr.. Cunningham
and he made brief speech of thanks.
The chairman announced that Con-
gresham Danford was waiting and sew
eral delegates shouted, Let him wait"
and demanded the next order of bust
ness. When he stepped to the front Of
the stage delegate requested him to
make it brief" His speech was short
and was delivered in pleasing man
ner. 1t was made up of the usual pro
foundly gratefuls," Il thank yous,"
grave responsibilities" ETC., with a
strong boost for Major Mckinley sand
whiched in. incidentally he started a
discussion of tissues" going back to the
late war. The convention began TO
manifest signs of uneasiness and the
orator wisely cut his speech short. He
talked about combinations Of free sill
verites and protectionists as impossible,
as they represent opposing views. The
great bulk of the people in and out of
Congress, who are opposed to the free
coinage of silver, are in the Republic
can party"
VIM. A. Hunt. of Belmont county, and
E B. Rouse, of Monroe county, were
elected alternates to the st. Louis Con-
vention by reclamation.
The Convention then adjourned with
three cheers for Mckinley.

GUARDING THE RECORDS.

Board of Public Works Gives Instructions
to the Clerk--Information Must Come
by the Direction of the BOard-COm-
munication From Boston Asphalt Com
pany.
AT special meeting of the board of
public works yesterday at noon Clerk
Bassett was instructed to give out in
formation as to the doings of the board
in executive session. He was also in
structed to purchase a book to keep
a record of such meetings in. Presi-
dent McGann speaking Of the action of
the board last evening said it is not
departure from what has been the
policy of the board in the past 1t has
been an unwriten law that has been
lived up to by Mr.. Bassett.
Il have no objection to the doings of
the board being made public, but then
you know that I am only one-sixth of
the board. I said as much to Clerk
Bassett when he asked me what his
conduct should be when he was re-
quested to show the records
President McGann said that the vote
of the board yesterday meant what it
said and would be lived up to.
There is no intention on the part
of the members of the board to keep
anything from the public, but the clerk
now has his specific instruction and 1
have no doubt whatever that he will
obey them"
There have been hints in certain
quarters that the disclosure of the rec
ords of, the past executive sessions
would astonish the public, but there is
nothing in them that has produced such
an effect. The part which at present
Is uppermost in the minds of the .peo-
pie is that which refers to the asphalt
contract and this was made known to
the board of aldermen and directed to
be printed.
A communication was sent to the
board by the Boston Asphalt company
stating that it had been great ex-
pense to prepare for the fulfillment of
the contract with the city of New Ha-
ven. A bond was given for 5000.
This was deposited with the American
Surety company and has cost the COM
pany $1,000 for the bond. 1t also states
that the company has purchased $500
tons of asphalt.
The validity of the contracts is treat
ed of in the communication 1t claims
also that the question of whether the
best interests of the city are settled by
the facts submitted in the report of the
subcommittee to the board of public
works. The paper concludes with the
assertion that should the action of the
board of aldermen annulling the con-
tract be adhered to by the board of
councilmen and be signed by the
mayor the city of New Haven will be
held in damages arising out of the
breach of contract. Specific damages
are not named, but will include any loss
in the purchase of material and the
preparation for doing the work and
also from he profits accruing from he
performance of the work.
The communication will be sent to
the board of councilmen on Monday
evening next.
