SAYS GROVER WANTS 1T.
A National Committeeman Says He Is

ell, democratic national committee
man and editor of the Constitution.
sees in Grover Cleveland's denial of
the Bailey interview evidence that the
former president is a candidate for a
third term. Mr.. Howell says:
Either he is a receptive candidate
for a fourth nomination and is conf
dent that he could be chosen for a
third time to the presidency or he is
not The interview said he was not
Mr. Cleveland says the interview waB
full of falsehOOd Mr.. Cleveland has
not effaced himself from the candida
torial list and is indignant that any
one else should report him as thus
self effaced.
with Mr.. Cleveland thus re-
vealed the problems most perilous to
the party remain open and its leaders
must withdraw their attention from
the common enemy and devote their
skill to prevent the wrong of a third
term endeavOr in Mr. Cleveland's be-
half that would bring upon the partv
greater Odium and defeat than any it
has suffered in all its history.

IT WAS A DOUBLE OFFENSE.

The little iron bands and the little
iron rods used in the construction Of
the Morley flume, for which the Gill
bert Hunt company was paid over
$500 were so simple that they could
have been made by any blacksmith in
the city and it was therefore not a
case of necessity that the contract
was given to Mayor Hunts company
The acceptance Of the contract for
making these iron bands and rods by
the mayors company was plain viO-
latiOn of that law of the state which
says
mo officer of such city shall be in
terested directly or indirectly in any
contract with such city, or with any
of the officers thereof in their Off
cial capacity, or in doing any work or
furnishing any supplies for the use
of such city or its officers in their
official capacity, and any claim or
compensation for work done, or sup
plies or materials furnished. in which
any such officer is interested shall be
void, and if audited and allowed, shall
not be paid by the treasurer. Any
Wilful violation of the provisions of
this section shall be a ground for re-
mOval from office and shall be a mis-
demeanOr and punished as such"
In making the little iron rods the
mayors company infringed on the AL
len patent, and to settle the suit for
$4,000 brought by c. P Allen, the pat
entee, the city had to pay out over
500 as the penalty for the mayors
disregard for one of the laws that he
took an oath to obey.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-06-30

made by the mayors foundry. Hence
il is plain that Worley, the Hunt com
pany and the city were Jointly ana
severally liable for the infringement
Of the Allen patent.
The Statesman is Informed that
Mayor Hunt says that he used the
same device in constructing wooden,
pipes twenty-five years ago. That is
not material. Allen unquestlonably
has a patent on the device now and
his right was established by Judge
Hanford in suit brought against the
CITY of Tacoma by Mr.. Allen for the
infringement of his patent in building
water mains. Only nominal damages
were allowed by the court, but that
did not affect the validity of the pat
ent.
If we concede that Mr.. Allen had
no ground for his suit against this
city. as the Union contends, it GER
tainly places Mayor Hunt in the I'M
enviable position Of having been bluff
ed into paying out $500 Of the city's
money for nothing.
On the other hand if we take it for
granted that Mr. Allen had just cause
for action, Mayor Hunt and Contractor
Morley were primarily to blame for
the infringement of patent in the
face of a fair warning not to do so
given by Mr.. Allen.
Either horn of the dilemma leaves
Mayor Hunt impaled in a position
from which he can not easily extricate
himself to the satisfaction Of the tax
payers.
