the ofiending committeeman has ex.
ercsed his preference in the distri-
button OF the printing patronage. 1t
is asserted that he mnnopolized the
printing of buth branches of the Leejs,
lature. The excessive cost Of the work
81. 45 a page, which is 80 cents a mage
more than was paid two years ago is
creating more anger than the neglect
to consult the other members of the
committen. 1t is claimed that, no
written contract having been made, and
the work having BEEN given out at a
price agreed uron by only ore member,
the General A ssem oily is not bound to
pay the price asked. An augmentation
bill. which renuires a three fuurtbs
vote, will provide for the paymept Of
the printinp account and If ia nre-
finted that the allowapoe will he far
below the amount of the claim, A
Wilmippto concern has done most Of
she Legislative printipg. The matter
is assuming the promotions of a
scandal, and The printing fight promises
to rival tue Senatorial battle.
A resolution, offered by Represepta

order any additional printing was
