THE OHIO REPUBLICANS.

The result of the Republican con-
vention in Ohio, shows clearly where
the Republican party will stand in
the congressional fight next year. 1t
will uphold the cause of honest
money as strongly as it did last year
They endorsed the national platform
Of last year, approved of the move to
annex Hawaii, and called for speedy
settlement of difficulties in Cuba.
The Popocrats have for some time
back been spreading reports of a
factional fight being on in Ohio
among the Republicans, but the re.
suit of the convention did not disclose
anything of the kind. Of course the
friends of Foraker as well as those of
Hanna wanted to be in the lead. But
the Foraker following gracefully &C.

Held to the Contract.

Aid. Zimmerman called up Masters
& McLauren's letter and advocated
awarding the contract for the Center
street sewer to Joseph Landkammer.
the second lowest bidder His bid is
1888 in it's entirety, or SO more than
Masters & McLauren now want. 1t
looks as though Masters & McLauren
are trying to squeeze $50 more out of
the city than their bid called for.
A discussion on the technical points
of the matter took place. He moved
that the firm be released from it's bid,
and Aid. Bradley moved that the
council contract with the firm at it's
original bid of 1888 complete.
President Burgess explained that
the B. P. w. had awarded the con-
tract to the firm, but that the con-
tract has not yet been approved by the
council.
Aid. Zimmerman said that he would
withdraw his motion if Masters &
McLauren would do the work at their
original bid, but he didn't want the
firm to come in and get snap judg-
ment on the city.
Aid. Bradley moved that the con-
tract made by the B. P. w. be ap-
proved, and this was lcarried.
The firms bond, for 1926, with JOS
eph Manderfeld and w, G. Hoerr as
sureties, was approved.
City Attorney Pfau said that the
bond was not properly made out. A
previous bond presented by the firm
was defective in the same way. Only
the justification was lacking, and the
bond would be good, anyway.
Aid. Zimmerman moved that the
request of Masters & McLauren to be
released from their contract or given
an additional $50 be refused, and this
was unanimously carried.
Assessor Lille stated that sidewalk
is needed on the north side of Main
street from the Milwaukee elevator to
the bridge.
President Burgess favored having
the Main street improvement work
done by days labor instead of by con-
tract as proposed.
Aid. Zimmerman said that this
could be done if the bids next Friday
are not satisfactory.
Aid. Bradley moved that all con
tracts entered into between the city
and Main street contractors require q
two years guarantee of the curbing
President Burgess said that the city
has enough curbing on hand for this
contract. The sidewalk ordinance is
weak in some respects and ought tC
be amended.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1897-07-02

The first business before the cOun-
Gil Saturday night was the reading of
the report OF the special committee
appointed to draw up resolutions re-
speeding the death of the late John
f. Meagher, Aid. Fowler read the
report, which was adopted, on motion
of Aid. Fritz, and copy of the reso-
lutions was ordered published in
the papers, entered on the records, and
sent to the family of the deceased.
A letter was received from Masters
" McLauren asking to be released
from putting in the Center street
sewer, or else that they be allowed $50
in addition to their bid of 1927, as the
weeks delay had damaged them on
account of the two heavy rains and
the rises in wages. The communica-
tion was laid on the table, on motion
of Aid. Zimmerman.
A letter was received from the
hospital trustees, enclosing bill for
S66.37 for the construction of barn
for the horse and buggy recently pre-
sented the Sisters who have the man
agement of the hospital.
A petition for sidewalk on the
west side of Hubbell avenue from
Front street to the railroad track was
received, and was referred to the
street committee, to report at the
next meeting.

Engineer Thompson said that the
sidewalkbe bolted up in pretty good
shape. He had had the nuts screwed
up tight. The material of rivets is
generally better than that of bolts.
Aid. Petersen said that rivets were
much better. Some one could NAL
iciously unscrew the bolts and let the
walks down.
Aid. Fowler said that he had called
attention to the forfeit clause because
there had been close competition in
bids between home and outside firms,
and he did not like to see the out
side firm take advantage of the home
men.
Aid. Bradley said that all under
stood that rivets were to be used.
Aid. Fowler moved an amendment
that the amount due on the contract
be paid less $3.50, until the council
looks further into the matter. This
was unanimously carried.
A recess was taken to allow the
committee on printing to retire for
consultation.
The committee on coming in asked
until the next regular meeting to re-
port, as it could not agree.
The resolution regulating city bust
ness was, on motion of Aid. Fritz,
adopted unanimously.
Aid. Fritz moved that the street
committee and city engineer see the
county board in regard to helping in
the matter of widening the Silver
ravine road. This was carried.
Aid. Fritz said that the city has no
pound, and that stock has to be taken
to a livery stable, making consider
able expense. Chief Yates had sug-
gested that the city have pound
back of the city hall.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on city property, to report al
the next meeting, On motion of Aid.
Bradley,
Aid. Fowler said that Mr.. Diamond
would give the land needed on Frank
lin street for $50 and guarantee
against sidewalk assessments. This
was considered too much and the com.
mittee would not recommend it.
Aid. Bradley moved that the city
offer to give $50 for the land. Carried.
On motion of Aid. Adams, the B.
P. W. was instructed to lay stone
sidewalk at the westerly crossing OF
Fifth and Lafayette streets.
The bills were allowed, including
Sl27 81 balance due Prof. Shepardson
for preparing electric light plans and
specifications, and 81, 100 balance due
the o. S. Kelly Co. for the steam road
roller, due July 1st.
An adjournment was taken until
Monday at 1000 a. m.

ported that fire bell could be secur-
ed for West Mankato for S2950. The
committee was instructed to purchase
the bell.

that the garbage collecting bill of
Lang & Henlein be Investigated. 1t
was referred to the committee on
claims and accounts.

favorably upon the ordinance provid-
ing for burial permits. 1t was given
its first reading, the rules were sus-
pended and it passed it's second read
ing and was enacted.

VauIting and Tumbling.

Ground and lofty tumbling has been
reintroduced into the Barnum &
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth after
sleep of many years, but upon
grander and greater scale than ever
before. The champions from all
countries meet and contend for su-
premacy in this line, and their dis
plays of vaulting, leaping, jumping,
somersaulting, and tumbling on the
ground in the air, and over impedi-
ments and obstacles borders on the
miraculous. Some of them Jump over
horses 16 hands high from standing
start, while others jump backwards
and forwards over a dozen chairs.
They will all be seen here when the
show comes July IA.

The Bridge Sidewalks.

Mr.. Thompson said that the side
walks along the bridge are completed
according to the plans and specifica-
tions in his office except for one or
two minor details, which the con-
tractor promises to do.
Aid. Zimmerman moved that the
contract price be paid, except the
amount of the uncompleted part.
Aid. Adams said that he had I'M
derstood that the bridge was to be
riveted instead of bolted. He said
that he had unscrewed the nuts with
his own hand. If wagons jar the
bolts loose, what will become of the
walks? The council and contractors
had talked about the strength of
rivets for two hours when the bids
were opened.
Aid. Fowler said that he understood
that the former city engineer had al
lowed the use of bolts after the con-
tract had been signed.
City Attorney Pfau said that the
city engineer would have no right to
change the contract after it was sign
ed, without the consent of the coun.
Gil. If the contractor did not follow
the contract it was at his own risk.
The contract was produced and read
by the city recorder. The plan SEEM
ed to call for rivets, although there is
no wording on the subject.
Aid. Fowler produced new plan.
changing the rivets to bolts, approved
by M. B. Haynes, city engineer, April
8th.
@. P. Jones, agent for the contrac-
tors, said that the company had acted
in good faith. The new plan had been
sent by his company to City Engineer
Haynes, accompanied by letter ask
ing for the changes. When it was
received back approved by the city
engineer, the company supposed that
the change had been properly ap-
proved. The company had spent
enough more to make up for the
change. The first plan was supposed
to be faulty. The contract says that
the work shall be done under the
direction of the city engineer.
The letter was read by the city re-
corder The letter speaks of the
rivets being increased in number, and
makes no mention of bolts. The new
plan says bolts.
Aid. Fowler said that the letter
seemed to be calculated to deceive
| the engineer.
Mr.. Jones said that rivets and bolts
are synonymous, and that the COM
pany saw that bolts would be better.
Aid, Fowler called attention to the
provision for FORGETTING SIS a day for
every day that the walks were not
completed after May 18th.
1t was explained that delay had
been caused after the contract was
signed,

THEIR RECKLESS STATEMENTS

The Democrats of Iowa, who are
simply Populists under cover of the
Democratic name, were rather reck-
less in the statements they made in
their convention the other day. They
declare that the Republican pledges
have all been broken. This is strong
statement to make when it is remem-
bered that the Republican admins
tration has been in power only lit
tie over three months, and has hardly
had time to redeem the pledges made,
but is surely in fair way of doing So
1t should be remembered that the Re-
publicans do not control the senate
and can hardly be held responsible for
matters that they fail to get through
it.
But the Republican pledges have
not been broken, and the statement
of the Iowa Popocrats is false. One
of the first things the Republicans
promised to do was to revise the tariff
so that it will yield sufficient revenue
to meet the needs of the government,
and afford protection to our indus
tries. That work is now nearly &C
complished and it is expected that
within the next fifteen days the new
aw will be placed upon the statute
books. The administration through
commissioners is also at work in an
attempt to bring about an interna-
tional agreement with the leading ma
tions of Europe as to bimetallism,
just as the party pledged it would do.
Again the party pledged that it
would take up the matter of revising
our banking and currency matters,
and steps are now being taken to that
end, and the question will be brought
up in congress early in December next,
This shows record for redeeming
pledges that any party may we'll be
proud Of, and that the Democrats
cannot match.
But the Iowa Popocrats were not
satisfied with making these false
charges of broken pledges. They fol-
lowed them up with other false
charges, in which they assert that
prosperity is not returning, that mills
and shops are closing down, that the
army of the unemployed is growing
larger, and that the farmers are
marketing their products at lower
price than ever before. This is a
string of assertions wholly false. From
all quarters come the reports that
business is gradually growing better,
and transactions are on larger scale
than for three or four years. Nor are
mills or shops as general thing clos
ing down. On the other hand they
are opening up, and mills that have
not run through the summer for the
past four years, have arranged to do
SO this summer, and the army of the
unemployed is fast changing to the
army of the employed. AS to the as
sertion that farmers are selling the
products of the farm at less price
than ever before, comparison with
prices year ago, show that there has
been an advance in most every line,
wheat being nearly 20 cents bushel
higher than at that time. The Iowa
farmers are too intelligent class to
be hoodwinked by such stuff as the
Popocrats have put forth.

cepted the fact that their numbers
were not sufficient to control, and will
join hands for a Republican victory
next November. The fact that Gov.
Bushnell, who is one of Foraker's
closest political friends, was nomi-
mated for governor, is sufficient refut-
alton of the assertion that factional
fight exists there. The Republicans
will exhibit very strong front, and
with the improving times will hardly
suffer any loss in votes. They had a
plurality of over At 900 there last year,
this may be reduced somewhat, they
will still have good healthy majority.
McLean's, Sorg's and Tom Johnson's
money will not make great Roadway
against the sound principles which
the Ohio Republicans are champion

RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE.

The following are the resolutions
adopted by the council Saturday
night, respecting the death of the
late John F. Meagher:
Death has taken from among US a
useful and honorable citizen, a fond
father and true friend.
The Honorable John f. Meagher
was man who had reached the prime
of manhood and whose footsteps had
scarcely begun to descend toward the
sunset of life. There still lay before
his vigorous nature bright prospects
of future success and usefulness when
he was summoned to the dread con-
f1ict with mans relentless enemy,
DEATH
Coming to Mankato a beardless
youth with little or no monetary
means, his natural abilities, energy
and perseverance easily placed him in
the front ranks of Mankato's success
full business men, and by his indom-
liable will greatly advanced the ma
terial interests of this community.
The secret of his success was his
honesty, purity of character and in
tegrity, which were unimpeachable
and above suspicion; as an employer
he was just, generous and honorable,
as citizen he was always exemplary,
public spirited and useful.
Kind as father to help honest,
struggling humanity, industrious and
not penuriOus, thrifty not avariciouS,
honest not selfish, generous not prod
igal, John E. Meagher deserves to be
remembered in the hearts Of his fellow
citizens. The lesson of his life is that
he always did his duty faithfully and
we'll and as the cap sheaf of his life
he has left to his family the priceless
legacy of an honorable name.
"Honor and fame from no conditions rise,
Act well your part, there all the honor lies
Therefore be it Resolved that the
sad announcement of the death of
John f. Meagher. an honOred citizen
Of this city, and formerly member
of this body, be received by the COM
mon council of the city OF Mankato
with the deepest sorrow and the pro-
foundest regret, and in behalf OF the
citizens of Mankato we tender our
sincere sympathy and coincidence to
the family and relatives of the de-
ceased, and as ''God tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb" so may He guard
the lives of those deprived of an earth
ly protector.

Walnut Street.

A petition for the opening of Wal
nut street for foot travel and the con-
struction Of sidewalk, from Front
street to the union depot grounds, was
received from the committees of the
Board of Trade and the Commercial
club.
Aid. Bradley moved that the street
be opened and the sidewalk built.
F. M. Currier, chairman of the Board
Of Trade committee, appeared and
favored the petition. From his per-
sOnal knowledge of the desires of the
business meu south of Main street, all
want the sidewalk. He took it for
granted that the aldermen were all
fair minded men. A foot walk only
was asked for, not that the street be
graded. The walk would be a great
convenience to the majority of the
citizens of Mankato, and he hoped
that the matter would receive re-
spectful consideration. He had heard
no valid or legitimate reason why the
walk should not be built. 1t had been
said that driveway there would
make it death trap. A driveway
is not asked for. There is plenty oil
room for foot walk.
W. A. Funk, chairman of the Com.
mercial club committee, said that the
Milwaukee road was willing that the
street be opened across it's right.of.
way for sidewalk purposes. The prop
osition does not call for any grading
to be done. The sidewalk would not
be asked for if it interfered with the
rights of the people of any portion Of
the city. Pedestrians going from
trains now are in great danger or
Main street, tangled up. between the
hacks, omnibuses and moving trains
on all the tracks. That is the death
trap in the situation. 1t is asked
that the matter be given reasonable
consideration.
Aid. Zimmerman said that he ha6
no particular objection to the side
walk.
Mayor Pau said that the street
should be opened first, and then the
city would have the right to lay the
walk.
Some little discussion followed as +,
now far Walnut street is open, ana OF
