er was the highest bidder for that
Juley party plum instead of the low-
est, as the law requires. The way it
happened was this, Four or five men
or firms bid for the comtract and
each deposited a bond for the per
formance of the work in the event
the award was to him. The lowest
bidder got the contrewt and the
bonds of the others were returned to
them.
Thus far the law had been scrupu-
ously complied with. But the scheme.
ing set in at once. The lowest bid-
der made some absurd excuse for re-
fusing to aocept the award and It
was offered to the next lowest bidder
who also declined amd the process
was continued until the highest bid-
dor was reached who got the con-
tract at an exorbitant figure. One
would have thought that the forfelt-
ed bond would in some measure re-
compense the Btate for the difference
in the rate between the highest and
lowst bid. But no such result fol-
lowed. The “system” never con-
templates recompense to the State
for anything.
Here is what actusdly occurred.
The forfeited bond was promptly re.
turned to the delinguemt Mdder, not.

hold it, and the highest bidder was
declared State Printer. He simply let

John O. Sheats WAS never a re
former either in the Legislature or
out. In the Legislature he voted
for some of the most Inigquitous
measures and out of it he has sup-
ported some of the most notoriously
bad men. Two years ago, for exam-
ple, when all reformers were align-
ed against J. lee Plummer, Bheatz
stood with the machine. To rank
him as a raformer is not only absurd
but it is actually dishonest.
We rise to remark that nearly a
month has elapsed since John QQ.
Harman challenged John O. Sheats
to discuss the question of minority
representation on the Board of Pub.
le Grounds and Bulldings and there
has been no reply to the challenge.
The delay indicates that Mr. Sheatz's
mental machinery works entirely too
slow to be effective In the office of
State Treasurer. *
