CATHEDRAL CONTRACT.
Bishop Wigger Awards It
to E.. M. Waldron & ca.
Of Newark.

Especial to ssThe Jersey City News.'1
NEWARK, Aug. rs. 1S99.-Bishop Wig
ger, in his capacity as official head Of the
Catholic diocese of Newark and chairman
of the new cathedral building committee,
has awarded to E. NJ. Waldron & Co, Of
this city, the contract for building wha
is known as the second or saisle wall
section Of the new cathedral. Bids for
the work ON this section, which is regard
ed as the most important part Of the
structure, were received by Bishop Wig
ger about five weeks ago. The delay In
cident to the awarding Of this contract
has been occasioned by a doubt as to the
most appropriate and substantial quality
Of stone to be used in its construction.
The question had to be settled at this
| time, because the quality Of stone used
in the nave. transcript and tower walls
will. for the sake of uniformity. have to
be the same as that Of which the aisle
| walls are constructed.
The selection was left entirely to the
Judgment of Bishop Wigger. and this
complicated the bidding somewhat, be-
| cause the builders were obliged to esti-
mate on work where an unknown grade
of stone necessftating more or less labor
might be used.
This. it appears. however. did not annov
| the bidders very much. for their faures
were So close those Of the highest bidder
only exceeded the contract price Of so00. 400
by q few thousand dollars. AS soon as it
was ascertained that E.. NJ. Waldron &
Co. were the lowest bidders. Bishop Wig
ger notified Alderman Waldron who is
the head of the firm. that his bid would be
accepted, and the contract awarded as
soon as he had determined an the ouaiitv
of the stone to be used. This subject. ac-
cording to the Bishop. was found to be
more difficult of solution than either the
awarding of the contract or raising of
funds to prosecute the work. Several
buildings were inspected. and exnert onin-
ions on the durability and appearance of
the stone examined. and Their. AFTER 4
conference with Jeremiah OsRonrke
whose firm has supervision of the build
ing. and Alderman Waldron the choica
was made.
The conference was held nj seton ran
College last night. and the seleetion made
was Troy light gray granite. This stane
is IDENTICAL with that used in the con-
struction OF. the new home of the How

The Noonan-Davis Statement.

Just as we expected. the Evening
journal Of yesterday printed the alleged
version of Mr.. Robert Davis attitude on
National politics, which was sent around
to the papers in a manifold typewriter
statement BY Mr.. Joseph NJ. Noonan.
Just as we expected. also. the interview"
s1las done great damage. This we learn
from the comments of the morning
spapers, and we fear the trouble has only
Ebegun.
One element of harm is the form which
rfhe statement took. It opened with a
few lines purporting to define Mr.. Davis
Aopinions, and then 1t went on at con-
peiderable length to expound those of Mr..
tGSoonan. Unfortunately. Republican edi-
tors through malice and average readers
ythrough carelessness tumble the two fac
tors up together, n so Mr.. Davis is
szIven credit for much talk that Mr..
xvoonan never meant to put into his
mouth. We foresaw that this would be
:hhe case. and this was one reason why
me declined to print the statement.
If we understand Mr.. Davis position, it
is simply this: He does not believe in free
xsilver coinage at all, and he does not be-
saieve In Mr.. Bryan much, as winner in
1S0o. He thinks Mr.. Bryan has had his
pchance and been beaten. What there is
TO save him now, is not visible. But if
the majority Of the Democratic party de-
t1nand Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Davis will not
oppose his nomination, and will work
legally for his election when the nominal
zion Is made. This is Mr.. Davis ideal of
party loyalty. and we have no doubt he
Will live up to 1t.
Nj. Dayis position is a matter Of great
importance and 1t should not be mIsin-
terpreted or put in a wrong light, as we
think It is in Mr.. Noonan's state
ment. Mr.. Noonan's W opinions are a
matter of somewhat secondary import
anee Nobody Will be either surprised or
dish aged, we believe. at finding him just
Mhes 9 he is.
