Franklin Spectator: The Democrats
of Warren county, who met in conven
ton on Tuesday, appointed congress
sional conferees, but did not instruct
them. That was sensible, and clearly
good politics. A few professed Demo-
Gratis in the district, backed by Repub-
lican money and brains, are trying to
commit the party to a venal and suici-
dial future, but it's foreordained fail
ure. The Democratic party in the 9th
is not a merchantable quantity. Sales
may be made, but the dickers are not
deliverable. The party demands to
know for what and whom it is expected
to vote.
Franklin News Mr.. Emery is ex
pected to return from California where
he has spent the past two years for
benefit of his health. early in July. He
will then be waited upon by the com
mittee of ''independent" Republicans
appointed by the Warren conference,
headed by F.W. Hayes of Oil City, who
will try and induce him to accept the
Congressional nomination. 1t there
fore behooves Mr.. Emery to do consid-
cradle thinking between now and that
time, and until he declares himself, the
Congressional campaign in this dis.
trict will remain in state of quietude
Smethport Miner: Evidently the
fusion program in this Congressional
district is not working to the entire
satisfaction of those concerned in the
movement. The insurgent Republicans
would like to be considered the 'big
toads in the puddle" in the work of
of disintegration in the party ranks
which they are using every means to
accomplish. But Mr.. Emery under
stands that his election depends upon
getting the solid Democratic vote and
ne, of course, notifies a leading mem
ber of that party that he wants nom
ination. He wouldn't give a baubee
as to how the nomination comes to him,
whether through insurgent or Demo
cratic channels, only that he is endors-
ed by the other gang in the combina-
ton. There are many Democrats in
this district who are thirsting for u
coalition with Republican soreheads,
and that fact will be more clearly dem.
onstrated at the election in November.

Mr.. EDITOR:-It is an open fact that
a large number of boys in our town
are drunk every Saturday. 1t is an
equally open fact that while they do
not get drunk at the saloons, they
have no trouble either in buying the
intoxicants themselves, direct from
the dealers or in having older persons
make the purchase for them.
This practice has become such a
notorious violation of law and respect
for public decency that | will gladly
pay all costs of prosecuting either
dealers or individuals engaging in
such malicious practices and pledge
myself if any actual instances fall with
in my own personal knowledge, l will
use my best endeavors to make an eX-
ample of the guilty parties.
The sale of intoxicants is legal, but
the coaXing instigation and secret en-
couragement Of drunkenness is an Of
fence to our community that must be
stopped and | am willing to do my
share to stop it.
Parents have it hard enough to in
duce their boys to become manly citi-
zens without some few persons being
allowed to delibertly pull their chii-
dren down hill.
Respectfully,
JOSIAH HOWARD.

ACTION IS DEFERRED.
Expiration of LeVee Warehouse
Appropriation Necessitates
Referring of Bids.
PROPOSITIONS OF THE BUILDERS,

Now Remains for New Council to Take
Through to CompIetion-Omce of Com
missioner of Public Works Established
Other Doings of City Fathers.
1t was found at last nights meeting
of the council that the appropriation of
81, 200 for levee warehouse purposes
made at the beginning of the last ifs
cal year had expired Saturdayby imi-
tation. So all that could be done by
the council was to refer the bids sub
mitted to the license and markets COM
mittee. Time can be saved by keep
ing the bids in the hands of the
com mittee. as contractors have been
asked three times already to submit
estimates on the warehouse. The
present council has gone to the limit
of its ability on the warehouse question
having in response to the appeals Of the
local business interests, presenting a
solution just to the city, to the mer-
chants, to the business interests, the
steam boat interests and the taxpa yers-
The new council will have the adj
vantage of the bids before it, and will
therefore be able to quickly make an
estimate based on the lowest accepta-
bic bid, and have the work pushed
through without delay.
The bids were as follows: Wilson
e. Sphinx, Davenport, 81, 52S. IA; Horst
& Peterson, 81. $50; Henry Tappendorf,
50, 354; =. +. Trenkenschuh, 81. 253;
John Konosky, $4,000. Upon motion
of Aid. Gall the bids were referred to
the license and markets committees.
Aid. Willis said he had been author
lied to state in behalf of Capt. John
Streckfus. of the Acme PacRet COM
pany, and Capt. Walter Blair, of the
Carnival City Packet company, that if
the lowest bid on the warehouse ex-
ceeded $4,000, the amount appropriate
ed for the erection of the building,
they would advance their first years
rent. Mayor McConochie informed
the aldermen that as the fiscal year
expired last Saturday, the appropria-
ton for the levee warehouse had eX-
pired by limitation. and he would not
sign a contract for an enterprise money
for the payment of which would have to
be anticipated out of the coming years
revenues. He said all appropriations
were dead. If that was the case,
Aid. Wheelan wanted to know where
the funds were to come from to pay
for public work now being carried on.
The mayor replied the city was only
having done such work as it was alb
solutely necessary to do. Aid. Whee-
Ian answered the levee warehouse
was a necessity. 1t was an accommo-
dation the business interests had been
demanding for two years. Having
advanced to the point where the bids
of the contractors were in the
hands of the council. he could
see no reason why such a tech
nicality as mentioned by the mayor
should be permitted to block the pro-
iect. He was confident the new coun-
Gil would sanction whatever action
would be taken by the present coun-
Gil looking to the providing of ware
house facilities on the river front.
Aid. Willis read a letter from the
