HE IS NOT FOR PALMER
A Good Old Fashioned Democrat
Who Wants Fun
And He Doesn't Think He'll
Have Any
If He Votes for Palmer for There
Won't be Any Returns for Him
TO be Interested In

Charles Buckner of Newton, was in
the city yesterday. Mr. Buekner is for
Bryan and thinks the state viii go that
way this fall. He was talking about
the gold Democratic vote in this state
and said:
I think that it Will not amount to
anything There was an old man in our
county that was rather inclined to be
in favor of gold but he said to me- I
would not give a - to belong to a
party and go through a campaign
where you could not have any fun I
am not going to vote for Palmer. Why
all the parties will have their meetings
and then we Will get together and have
one election and viii crowd around the
telegraph Offices to hear the results and
a message Will come that says that
Vermont has gone for Mckinley and
the Republicans Will howl and slap the
Democrats on the back; pretty soon
another message Will come that Will say
that Arkansas has gone for Bryan and
then all the Bryan men will shout
themselves hoarse and so it will go.
After while when there is a pause in the
noise some old seedy Democrat that has
been standing in the edge of the crowd
and waiting for a chance TO cheer will
meekIy inquire, Say, has anyone hearn
anything of Palmer?' Then the boys
Will nearly tear him to pieces No sir.

the old man.

WATCHDOG OF THE TREASURY.
Auditor Cole Ably Defends His De-
termination Not to Waste Money.


State Auditor George E. Cole said in
regard to his position in regard to the
appropriation for the state militia fund
being used for the purpose of a state
encampment:
7 think that the people do not IN
derstand this matter. There was TWEEN
ty thousand dollars appropriated for
the use Of the militia for the year end
ing June 80. 1896. The appropriation
read 50 much as shall be necessary
for active service The apprOpria ton
for the present year (the year ending
June 80 1S97) was the balance Of the
apprcpria ton for last year which re-
NAMED unexpended- Now, I don't think
that the legislature intended that we
should use all OF this fund and leave
nothing 10 use in case there should be
something occur that would call the
militia out for work
Adjutant :. NJ. Fox said in regard to
the same matter
IN the first place it was understood
last year when We gave the encamp-
nent that We would not ask FOR an en-
canpment this year We had an ap-
preparation OF twenty thousand for the
two years, so much as was necessary
for active service to be used the first
year and the balance to be used the
second year The expenses of the en-
canpment Last year were SO. 1861, and
we only had q four days encampment-
We would not have enough probably
to have an encampment this year, and
If we did We would exhaust the fund
and leave nothing to use in case Of act

Last Evening-Minor Matters

Councilman NetteIs garbage ordi-
nance received its death blow last night
at the council meeting. 1t was deferred
until the next meeting, but it will be
knocked out when it comes up then.
The ordinance provided for a complete
system OF garbage collection an6 sani-
tary inspection Each householder was

Kitchen waste was to be deposited. The
city was to be divided into districts
and a man and team assigned to each
district He was TO make the rounds
OF the alleys once Of twice a week. col
lect the garbage and report any unsan-
itaTy condition to the city physician
There has been little hope for the or
dinance for some time. Mayor Fellows
was also bitterly opposed TO the Ordi-
nance.
The reason given last night by those
who voted against the ordinance was
that it would be too expensive. because
it would add about S45 per month to
the cost of the present system
Councilman Stephenson said ne liked
the main features of the ordinance, but
1T is too expensive"
Councilman Stevens who voted for
the ordinance originally. said that he
had consulted some of the taxpa yers of
mis- ward and they objected to the ordi-
nance because OF the expense. In my
little town we had such an ordinance
said he, but il was small place, com
pactly built, and I do not know that
peka."
Councilman Skinner said: In my
opinion there is something wrong with
our present sanitary department, be
cause vaults that were condemned in
1895 have not Yet been cleaned Some
provisions ought to be made To remedy
this, but I do not see how this ordi-
nance would be of any help.
Councilman Warner said This or
dinance would furnish an inspection of
all the places twice every week and the
officers could see that the work was
done
The first section of the ordinance was
read. It had been amended to leave
the districting Of the city to be made
by resolution of the council
The vote on the section resulted as
follows. Aye-BuTgess, Drew. Nettels,
Warner; nay. Elliott, Stevens, Stephen
son, PattisOn. Skinner, ROundtree-
Councilman Skinner then made mo-
ton to table the ordinance. but this
motion was lost on a tie vote, Council
man Elliott voting against the motion
to table.
On motion of Councilman Drew the
ordinance was then postponed until the
