VISITED BRYAN.


cratic Leader in Good Health.
John M. Garman, one of the delegates
to the Kansas City convention, returned
home last week, says the Wilkesbarre
Democrat. After the close of the con-
vention Mr.. Garman went as far west
as the Rocky mountains, where he
spent several days in viewing the scene
ry in the vicinity of Pixies peak On
his return he availed himself OF the
opportunity to visit Mr.. Bryan at his
home, having received an urgent invita-
tion to spend few days at Lincoln.
Mr.. Garman reports that Mr.. Bryan is
in the best Of health and confident of
the result of the coming election. Mr..
Bryan, he says, has absolute confidence
in the common people, and is firmly of
the belief that they will realize their
interests are with the Democratic party
in the pending struggle. Mr.. Bryan is
not practical politician" in the gener-
ally accepted meaning of the term. He
does not equivocate, or hedge on any
question, but is always perfectly frank
and straightforward. His perfect sin
cerity is one of the strongest character
istics, and the people at this time ap-
preciate it more than ever before.
Mr.. Garman regards the prospects for
Democratic success extremely bright.
His confidence is based upon the fact
that those who supported Bryan in 1896
are more enthusiastic for him now than
ever, while thousands of Gold Demo-
Gratis will be working this fall for the
success of the regular ticket. Then,
again, the Democratic party is receiving
important accessions. from Republican
ranks.
fact that is giving the enemy no
little concern is that in several hereto
fore debatabe states having large
German vote Mckinley will lose many
supporters of his candidacy in 1896, on
the imperialistic issue. The Germans
are with Bryan in this campaign.
Everything considered, Mr.. Garman
thinks there is much to encourage
Democrats to expect the Inauguration
Of Democratic president on the fourth
of next March.

MALONE WANTS HIS
Three THOUSAND
Sewer Contractor Insists That His
Certified Check Be Returned,
but City Solicitor Says No.

The city is going to be. involved in
another difficulty before long. This
| time it is going to be about a certified
| check for $4,000, which accompanied u
bid of r. Malone, of Lancaster, for the
construction of the big sewer in the
| Fifth, Sixth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth
wards.
Mr.. Malone's bid was the lowest and
he was awarded the contract about q
! month ago. AT the last meeting of Sc
lect council a letter from him was read,
informing councils of the fact that he
was unable to take the contract and re-
questing that the certified check for
$4,000. which accompanied his bid, be
returned.
The members of select council re-
ferred the communication to the city
solicitor. asking for an opinion. Yes
terday Mayor Moir was surprised to
receive another letter from Mr. Malone,
who appeared to be very angry that his
check had not been returned and who
declared that he would compel the city
to return it. He declared that he had
not been officially notified of the award
OF the contract to himself.
City Solicitor Vosburg had an opin-
ioii anu all accompanying resolution
ready for presentation to common
council last night. had that body met.
In the opinion he announced that the
city has an unqucstioned right to re-
tain the check. Mr.. Malone having no
right to withdraw his bid
He suggested that it would be neces-
sary for councils to pass new ordi-
nance providing for this sewer and re-
pealinE the old one. AS the liens under
the old ordinance are about to be filed
at a cost of over $1,000, and as it would
be useless expense to file them If a new
ordinance is to be introduced the reso-
luton which he suggests passing is ona
directing him not to file these liens
unless a contract is executed before the
time limit for the filing of them ex-
pires.
From the tone of the letter received
by Mayor Moir from Mr.. Malone, it
would appear as If he was determined
upon getting back his $4,000. even if he
has to go into court to dp so.
