that my department shall be criticized

reading. inasiruch as you do not give

Acting under Private and Special
Laws al 1898. Chapter 373, Sec. Z. it is
the duty q: the ovcrseer Of the poor TO
purchase by contract such supplies "as
il TIER nature will permit" for use at
the almshouse and city farm, and it is
his duty TO advertise for bids each
wear ard make yearly contracts. This
has been done each year and as a
matter o" fact Nr. Locke has beer
| awarded 4 part of the supplies. not
because he was Il Democratic alder
man. but because he was the lowest
bidder on the articles which We're
awarded him and he. was n resp0nsi-

CAPITOL POLICEMEN.
Appropriation for Their Salaries Cut
Out Yesterday

Yesterday morning thirty-four pros
pective Capitol policemen were snoring
peacefully in their respective homes in
various sections of the country, dream
ing of the things a salary OF 1850 could
buy and wondering If their uniforms
would be becoming. Last night thirty
four sour and disillusioned men crawled
into bed without much as saying their
prayers. John Wesley Gaines OF Tonnes
see. fondly known OF his constituents as
the Nashville Believer and James r.
Mann of Illinois. who glories in the title
Of the great objector.' turned the trick.
There's too much sitting down in this
part of the country already. Why en-
courage it, That was Mr.. Gaines con-
tribution to current Congress literature.
That's policeman for every ten
members of the House. Two or three
plain clothes watchmen will do the wor,
just as we'll" That's what Mr.. Mann
said.
And the item appropriating $500 for
the salaries of thirty-four Capitol cop
pers for the fiscal year 1900 expired with
out even a gasp.
Jim Tawney of Minnesota, who favored
the item and urged its retention IN the
bill, looked panied.

SENATOR WEMPLE NAMED AGAIN
Opposition Among SchOhA1e Delegates
Settled In Caucus.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, May lI.-William
WempIe was nominated unanimously for
Senator from the Thirty-hrst Senate dis
trict at the Senatorial convention held here
this afternoon. The new district lie COM
posed Of Montgomery, Schenectady and
Schoharie counties.
No opposition developed in the conven-
tion. There was very strong sentiment
against Senator Wemple In the Schoharie
Wemple was reached In a caucus before the
convention. The situation was explained
by a Schoharie delegate as follows:
A majority Of the eight delegates in
fact three-fourths Of them. we're opposed
TO Senator Wemple's nomination owing to
his attitude on the racetrack gambling
bills. The convention which elected the
delegates to the Senatorial convention
adopted resolutions indorsing Gov Hughes
in his efforts to pass the Hart-Agnew bills.
I'VE knew that Senator Wemple had been
allowed TO name his own delegates in
Schenectady county and that the Mont
