HE'S NOT A "KICKER."
INV. Cheney Writes of North Topeka
Situation
North Toneka. Kansas. Aug. S. 1s03.

North Topeka. Kansas, Aug s, 1903
To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 notice in the columns of your val.
liable paper reports of the proceedingi
Of the North Topeka Flood Club" with
comments thereon I desire small
portion of your space to say that not
all Of the residents of the 1sr ward
are kickers. After a personal canvass OF
many representa- tive families and bust
ness men I find no one who is not very
grateful for kindnesses shown them
during the late Overlooking waters, by
citizens of the south side of the river
also by friends from St. Joe and by
farmers from the hills and many others.
I take pleasure on behalf of many resi-
dents of the 1st ward in thanking
our neighbOrs one and all for their IN
firing labor and their bounIeous be-
stowal of the comforts Of civilization
And 1 hope-now that the raging waters
are assua ged-that the. energies OF our
people-regardl Of ward boundaries
may be united in one harmonious ef-
fort to restore all parts of our city to
its former grandeur and thus make it
the best city in this glorious republic

INSTRUCT FOR CLEVELAND.
New Jersey to Be for the Ex-Prssi-
dent Unless He Forbids It

Saratoga. n. Y. Aug. s-Henry stat
ford Little. OF Trenton. N j. who was
at the head Of the New Jersey state
house Democracy during Mr.. Cleve-
lands first term as president and IS
now one of Mr.. Cleveland's associate ties
in the board Of trustees Of Princston
university said today that he believed
Mr.. Cleveland would accent a nornina-
ton for the presidency next year If 1t
became manifestly his duty to do so.
and said that the New Jersey delega-
ton to the national convention would
certainly be instructed TO vote for ms
nomination. unless Mr.. Cleveland Spe-
officially prohibited such course
Mr. Little has not been active in poll
tics lately, but he is close personal
friend of ex-senator Smith. the Demo-
cratic leader and is well informed on
party conditions in the state
In 1884. when Mr.. Cleveland was first
elected, Little was clerk III chancery for
the state, having been appointed by
Governor Randolph When the state
democracy divided he sustained Mr..
Cleveland and was one of the victorious
foes OF Governor Abbott. He was one
Of the several leaders who carried the
state three times for Mr.. Cleveland,
and when Cleveland retired in 1897 from
the presidency it was Little who in
duced him to live N Princeton and ac-
cept the trusteeship of the university
I am very much interested in the
favorable discussion Of Mr.. Cleveland
proposition to nominate him is not ex-
traordinary at all. but is sound poIf-
tics from every point of view. It is my
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland can be NOM
mated. and I have no doubt that II he
is nominated he will be elected You
Will understand that am speaking
only for myself. / do not assume to
commit Mr.. Cleveland in any way nor
to express any views he may entertain
on the subject
Mr.. Cleveland does not desire. OBJ
viously, to re-enter public life. He has
accustomed his mind to retirement and
wants nothing better than to live in his
modest way with his family in Prince
ton. He could not be induced TO say
anything that would influence the de-
cision of a Democratic convention or
mold the thought OF Democratic voters
in his own behalf. II is thoroughly con-
sistent with his public carer that he oc-
, casionally in private life says the right
thing in a national or a party emerg-
ency. as he did at the TiIden club in
New York last year and at the Tus-
kegse institute this year.
He does not bid for popularity or
indulge in any OF the trfckeries Of poll
tics. But I believe il il becomes mani
testify his duty, not so much in a party
sense as from a patriotic viewpoint, for
the welfare of the country he would
consent to be the Democratic candi-

LOOKED LIKE A POOL.
Why Contracts for Recovering
Bridges We're Not Made.

From appearances the bridge men who
bid on the reeovery-of the Kansas river
bridges pooled before they made their
bids
The bridge company representatives
were in Topeka early Friday morning
and they cEummed together like friends
instead of business competitors. When
the bids were opened they were found to
be uniformly high
Had the contracts been let to the low
est bidders the work would have been
divided among three companies with a
variation in price Of but one-tenth of L
per cent. The bids received were as
follows:
A J. Tullock. of Leavenworth, bid to
for 80 per cent
A. NJ. Blodgett, Of Kansas City. bid
TO recover the RossviIle bridge for 345z
per cent; the Valencia bridge for 80 per
cent: the brick plant bridge for 3312 per
cent; the Sardou bridge for 32A per
cent
The I.eavenworth Bridge company bid
to recover the RossvilIe bridge for 29-9
per cent
to recover the brick plant bridge for
80 Is per cent.
The Midland Bridge company. of KAN
sas City, bid to recover either or all the
bridges for 81 per cent
The canton Bridge company DID 10 re-
cover the brick plant bridge for 80 per
cent.
Going TO the lowest bidders, Tulloch
would have secured the Sardou and
Valencia contracts for 80 per cent, the
Leavenworth Bridge company the Ross
vile contract for Z9-9 and the Canton
Bridge company the brick plant bridge
for 80 per cent
The county commissioners decided
that under these bids TO recover the old
