Sauerhering to Run.

This mornings Sentinel says: Rep
resentative Edward Sauerhering, of
the Second district, was in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Sauerhering confirmed
thereport printed in The Sentinel Sun
day to the effect that he would be a
candidate for denomination. ''My in
clination has been strongly against be-
ing a candidate" said the Second dis
trict member, "and [ had no expecta-
ton when [ returned from Washing
ton OF allowing my name to be used
But since returning to thestate [ have
been warmly urged by friends in all
parts Of the district again to enter
the field and [ have decided to do so.
[ have not heard of any aspirants for
the nomination, so my decision
is not likely to interfere with the can
didacy of anybody. [ have been over
the district somewhat since congress
adjourned and am convinced that the
prospects for Republican success in
all the counties of the district are
much brighter than they were during

Mr.. Sauerhering's opinion is sup
ported by other residents of the
Second district. 1t is believed that
the strength of the silver men in the
delegation from Dodge, Jefferson,
Dane and Columbia counties in the
Democratic convention Yesterday
gives assurance that there will be a
strong revolt among the solid farmers
of that district against the Demo
cratic party during the coming cam
paign. The district has always given
staunch support to the cause Of hon
est money.

IT appears that our information to

IN case of declaration for fl ee silver

THE nomination by the Republicans
Of William Mckinley for president
cannot fail to meet with general and
hearty approval. There is no doubt
he was the real choice OF nine tenths
.of his party, and we believe he will
prove to be the most popular candl-
date ever up for the presidency. in
some localities his vote will be prac-
.5icallv unanimous. The vice presl-
Dental candidate, Garrett A. Hobart,
of New Jersey, while not possessing a
national reputation, is man OF ex-
celIent qualities, we'll known in the
East, where he thoroughly represents
the money views. The ticket is a
cure winner.

RICE STREET GRADING.
Bids Are Opened But Further Action
Is Deferred

AT the meeting of the board Of county
commissioners, held yesterday morning,
four bids were received for the work
on the Rice street road, from the rail-
road crossing to the Anoka county
line
The specifications called for bids on
the work in three sections, and after
being tabulated by the lowest surveyor.
were considered by the commission.
Z. A. Boyd was the lowest bidder for
"claying, travelling and grading" the
first section, and upon motion of Com
missioner Ness, was awarded the con-
tract at $445 by a unanimous vote
In considering the bids for the second
and third sections of the work those
of Cooper and Doubleday were found
to be the lowest at the respective fig
ures Of 81 1888 and $2,349. The contracts,
however, were not awarded because of
the failure Of the bidders to file certi-
fled check to the value Of 20 per cent
of the sums bid. A certified check ac-
companied each bid, but was not of
quite the necessary value. In view of
this fact Commissioner Allen moved an
adjournment until this afternoon, in
order that the County attorney might
be consulted concerning the right of
the commission to award the contracts
under the existing circumstances. The
motion was carried, not however, until
an inspector for the Rice street work
had been appointed at a salary of 50
per day.
One of the minor actions of the board
was to recommend that, in as far as
possible, the county offices declare Sat

STATE PRINTING PIDS.
More Odd Proceedings In Connec-

tAOA AACTCW1tH 1eSIefOays
It looks as If there might be a smok-
ing out at today's meeting of the state
printing commission. That body was
to have met yesterday to award the
contracts for the state printing, but
after opening the bids, 1t adjourned
until this afternoon at o'clock.
Whether the adjournment was made
to give the members chance to think
over the problems, or whether 1t was
necessitated by the exigencies of other
state business was not given out, but
the fact remains that the contracts
still hang fire. Singularly, enough, too,
the Delano Eagle, whose bids threw
such CONSERVATION into the ranks of
the rival bidders at the June melting
OF the commission this time submits a
proposition on only one class Of work,
the fourth class, or the publication of
the laws and reports. The other bid
ders are Cunningham, thet McGill and
Pioneer Press companies, and Brown,
Treacy & Co., of ST. Paul, and Har-
r1son & Smith and the Tribune, of Min
neapolis. There is a suspicion about
the capitol that the thing will be prac-
t1cally cut and dried before this after
moons melting.
The amounts Of the bids are being
kept secret by the members of the com
mission who seem averse to newspaper
publicity being given their doings

semblyman DAILY offered resolution declar-
ing the appointment OF Frank HI. Dayton as
custodian OF the court house and city hall
for period Of one year.
County Commissioner Allen offered as an
amendment that the name OF Frank HI. Day
ton be stricken out of the resolution and the
name Of John A. Schultz be substituted.
Commissioner McCarron seconded the amend
ment. On the roll call the amendment re-
ceived the votes of Commissioners Allen,
McCarron and Wright. while Chairman Do
ran, Assemblyman Lewis, Assemblyman DAILY
and Aid. Lindahl voted In the negative. The
amendment was declared lost. The question
then recurring on the original DAILY resolu-
ton appointing Dayton custodian, Aid. Lin
dahl said:
''Mr. Dayton was the choice of the eau
Gus. Since the caucus some parties have
come to me and told me that Mr.. Dayton was
not fit man for the place. Now, If any
body has any charges to make against him,
I should like to hear them

arose and said

Mr. Dayton. Parties have informed me that
Mr. Dayton is scallawag and thief. Now,
If this is the case, let some one make charges
openly and prove them If he can"
Thereupon Chairman Doran, turning to-
wards the spectators, said: ANY gentle
man who wants to convince us that we made
a grievous mistake in deciding upon Mr..
Dayton, is at liberty to speak here and
now"
Nobody seemed inclined to accept the invi-
tation The commission thereupon adopted
the resolution appointing Mr. Dayton Gus
todian by a vote of five to two, Commits
soners Allen and McCarron voting in the
negative.
The commissioners also adopted resolution
granting to c. A. Anderson the right to
the privilege of the cigar stand in the court

FIFTH STREET. PAVING.
Contract for the Work Awarded to
Hennessy & Cox.

The board of public works opened
three bids yesterday for paving Fifth
street from Wabasha street to Broad
way, and awarded the contract to Hen
messy & Cox, whose bid, amounting to
So, 28379, was the lowest. The con-
tract price for paving the city's portion
Of the street is ST. 1897, and for paving
the street railway company's portion,
SIS, 896.79. The average cost or the
asphalt pavement, according to these
figures is $2.46 per square yard. The
other bidders were E. M. Ayres, repre-
senting the Assyrian Asphalt company
whose total bid was 33,676.77, and the
Warren-Scharf company who offered to
do the work for $50, S86.54.
The contract was confirmed by the
assembly last night and will probably
be confirmed by the board of aldermen
tonight In that event. the contract
can be executed and countersigned by
the city comptEoller in time for the
work to begin before the close of the
present week.
The Specifications call for a brick
pavement on the grade between
asphalt pavement from Cedar street to
Broadway with the exception of $50
feet of Jasper pavement between jack
son and Sibley streets, which is to be
relaid.
There has been much speculation as
to the relative cheapness of brick and
asphalt These bids show the actual
cost of brick to be just 81 cents per
square yard less than asphalt, as two
Of the bids for paving the hill between
Wabasha and Cedar streets are at the
rate of $215 per square yard.
Furthermore the bids show that the
recruiting and srelaying of the $50 feet
of jasper pavement will cost four cents
more per square yard than the asphalt.
In the interest of the tax payers, Capt.
German, of the board of public works,
steadily voted against relaying the
Jasper pavement.

THEY MET IN SECRET.
Assembly Committee on Police Afraid
of the Light.

In secret session did the committee on police
meet yesterday afternoon. The committee re-
sorted to the star chamber policy in order
to permit of freer discussion Of the mayor s
policy and a more unreserved criticism of
his appointments to the police force, than
the members of the committee care to have
published Accordingly the representatives
of the daily press were politely notified that
their presence was not desired, whereupon
they withdrew, and left the committee be-
hind closed doors. The members of the as
sembly committee are Messrs. Mabon CHAIR
NAM, Reardon, Thompson. Lewis and Presi-
dent Arosin. Mr.. Reardon alone voted
against holding an executive session.
The meeting was called to consider the
cases of those appointees to the position of
patrolman who are suspected of being dis
qualified by reason of being over thirty five
years of age when appointed to the force
by Mayor Doran.
Nothing came of the meeting, as Mr. Lewis,
who has taken the leading part in insisting
that no illegal appointments shall be con-
firmed, was called away to attend to another
meeting. Consequently the remaining mem
bers of the committee spent most of the time
in controversy over the case of Thomas B.
Maloney whose appointment as license in
spector the committee at its previous meet
ing recommended not to be confirmed. 1t
is believed that Mayor Doran and Asesm-
blyman Reardon thoroughly understand each
other in regard to this matter, and that
after the assembly has refused to confirm
Maloney's appointment, the mayor can then
select a man less than thirty-fiye years of
age. who will be acceptable to the Young
Mems First Ward Republican club
