Vice President Andrew Anderson OF
Anderson Construction Co. Here.
Mr. Andrew Anderson vice president Of
the Anderson Construction Company of
st. Louis arrived in the city yesterday
morning for the purpose of beginning at
once the work on the interior finishings
of the new public building, the contract
for which was awarded to his company.
Mr.. Anderson said yesterday that he ex-
pected to begin the work about Tuesday
of next week. The first thing to be done
is to get the gas fixtures in shape, and af-
ter that the plasteriug will be done. 1t will
probably be several weeks, however, be-
fore any of the fine work is put in. The
models of the wood carving and the plas-
ter work have all 10 be made yet and sub
mitted to the department in Washington.
This work viii be done by a special artist
from ST. Louis named Powell, who will.
be here the early part of next week.
The company has not yet been furnished
with the details of the work by the treas
ury department, and cannot take up these
features until it receives them. 1t is ex-
pected, though that all of this will be
arranged within a few days. The first
floors are all to be finished In Indian ma
hogany. There are to be magnificent panel
ceilings, and the floors will be in mosaic
and terazzo.
1t has been considered all along that this
company made an extremely low bid on
the work, being some $50, 900 or $4,000 be
low the highest bidder. The bid was
$16,9G Mr. Anderson when asked about
this yesterday stated that the bid was a
low one, but said his company was fully
justified in making it, as it had all of the
necessary sub-contracts arranged for at
the time. He thinks the work can easily
be done within six months, l. he can secure
the details of the work promptly, and if
no accidents happen 10 cause delay.
The Anderson Construction Company has
built several large buildings In ST Louis.
including the Planters Hotel They have
also had considerable government work
including two government buildings al FL
Paso and Paris, Tex. Mr.. Anderson says,
however, that the new government build
ing in Savannah Is one of the finest struc-
lures he has ever seen anywhere In the
whole course of his work he says he has
never seen anything to outshine it, Within
the next few weeks he expects to have
from forty to fifty men employed upon the
work. Most of the fine woodwork will be
done in Chicago

tives nominated at the primary as prac-
tically elected.
Members of the opposing faction. who
now call themselves the anti-administra-
ton faction, look upon the vote as a light
one, and speak Of the primary Of 1885, at
which something like 1900 votes are SAID
to have been polled Members of the Lib
eral Club faction, however. say that their
tally showed that less than 1,40O votes
We're polled al that primary.
"Altogel her, the vote was q very salts
factory one" said a prominent Liberal
Club leader. I'VE expected somewhere be-
tween 800 and ! 500 votes, but had moi
taken into consideration the fact that 200
of our voters have joined the volunteer
army Almost every one Of these would
have voted in such an election as that OF
to-day In the next place, number who
would have voted were carried out OF the
city by the Irish Jasper Greens picnic.
Then, too, there being no contest, and lit
tie likelihood of one at any time, the vote
was naturally lighter than it would other
wise have been. We think. therefore, that
the vote was a most satisfactory one, and
we do not feel that there win be any doubt
whatever about the result in October, even
if the other side should put out candidates,
which is doubtful"
The same gentleman said he had made
a careful study of the registration for 1888
so far as 1t has gone, and he was satisfied
that out of the 2500 white voters so far
registered, the Liberal Club has at least
1,S00 of them. if not more.
This finishes the election business until
October The people can now take a short
rest from politics and spend the time in
studying the war situation. That to a
certain extent seemed TO have knocked
out the interest in politics. and from now
until October there win be little to inter
fere with it.

BREWERS MET LIQUOR MEN.
VIII Answer Their Petition for Res
tOration of Old Price To-day.

tOration of Old Price To-day.
The committee of ten, appointed by the
retail liquor dealers at their recent meet
ing, called at the two breweries yester-
day to present the request of the retailers
for restoration Of the old price on beer
which was simply asking that the brewers
pay the war tax of 81 on the beer instead
of throwing it upon the retailers.
At the Savannah brewery they met Man
ager Starr, and at The Georgia Brewing
Associations Office they were given cor
dial reception by Manager Myers. Their
welcome at both breweries was all that
could be asked Both superintendent in
formed them that they did not have the
authority to grant their request, but that
they would place the matter before their
directors at a meeting this morning, and
would do all that they could for the bene-
fit of their patrons
This was satisfactory to the committee,
and they will again call on the brewers
to-day at noon for the answer to their
petition. This afternoon at o'clock there
will be another meeting of the retailers
at Tivoli hall to receive the report of the
committee and take such further action
as the situation may require 1t Is ex-
pected that there will be a large gathering
of the retailers.
Members of the committee all of whom
were present al the brief conference with
the brewery superintendents yesterday
seem to- be of the opinion that satisfactory
arrangements win be reached with the
breweries and that their pleasant relations
will continue. At the meeting ths after
noon, it is proposed to perfect the organi-
cation of a retail liquor dealers associa-
ton. to protect and advance the interests
of the trade. One of the principal objects
of the association viii be the breaking up
of blind tigers, il is stated. Some of the
retailers claim that there are many places
where liquors are sold illicitly in this city
and they will seek to put a stop to this
business.
