The Lincoln Committee has produced
another open letter. This one is addressed
to President Harrison. It calmly asks him
to change the control of the State patronage
and thereby aid in defeating Delamater.
The reason given for the appeal is a desire
to save the Republican party from ultimate
destruction.
rsriCIAI. TKLEPEAJl TO THE DISPATCH.!
Philadelphia, October C The Lin
coln Independent Republicans to-day sent
the following open letter to the President of
the "United States:
To the President:
Sir Wc respectfully ask your considera
tion of the accompanying appeal and of letter
relative to the same, addressed by the Lincoln
Independent Republican Committee to the
people of Pennsylvania, which, in
our judgment, involves a question of
national importance. This appeal calls upon
our citizens to vote for the Democratic candi
date for Governor at the approaching election,
as a rebuke to the Republican party of this
State, which has in its platform of principles
fully indorsed the public character of our
Junior Senator, Matthew S. Quay, and has ac
cepted a candidate for Governor of his choice
and at bis dictation.
Reasons for the Rraucet.
The request is extraordinary, but the reasons
lor making it are still more so, and they are of
Such a nature as in our opinion fully to justify
us in presenting it to the public. The pam
phlet to which no ask your attention contains
statements if undisputed fact concerning Mr,
Quay, and unanswered and, as we believe, un
answerable charges against him.
These facts and charges are so grave as to
render Senator Quaj's control of the political
affairs of his party in this State and of its Na
tional Committee hurtful to the interests of
this Commonwealth and injurious to tho repu
tation of the Republican party throughout the
country. Our pamphlet shows, first, by quota
tions from Mr. Quay's recortt while a member
of tho Pardon Hoard of Pennsylvania that ho
defeated the ends of justice by securing the
speedy release from prison of men who had
been duly convicted and sentenced by the court
for bribing members of the State Legislature.
A Mnticr of Public Record.
The audacity of thi act called forth at the
time the indignant protest of the Republican
press of the State, ot the ministers of religion
and of good citizens generally. This charge,
being a matter of public record, admits of no
ques-won or doubt, It alone should have relo
cated Mr. Quay forever to private life. It did
not do so, but it has of necessity made every
honest and courageous man who is cognizant
of the facts his enemy so long as ho retains
control of public affairs.
Second, a still more serious charge, which is
lully stated in the accompanying pamphlet, ar
raigus Mr. Quay for various embezzlements of
the funds of the State. This charge is so
specific it has so repeatedly been made, and it
is so widely believed that under normal condi
tions of public sentiment Mr. Quay would have
been compelled to answer it or fall under its
-withering assault. He has done neither.
It it be true, as has been openly asserted by a
distinguished Republican, that tho decalogue
has no place in modern politics Mr. Quay's
silence is justified, but as we are of thoso who
still believe that the common code of right and
wrong covers all human action, and that politics
nre not excepted from this rule, we assert that
he should show that he is guiltless of these
charges, or promptly retire from public life.
Why PmtWon in supported.
We ask the people of Pennsylvania to vote
for the Democratic candidate for Governor a
man ot tried and unimpeachable character
because his opponent, by the circumstances
under which his nomination was secured, and
fcy the clear declaration of the plaiform on
which he stands, is the representative of Mr.
Quay. His election will be accepted as a vin
dication of Mr. Quay in the eyes of the State
and of the countrv.
The issne is plain. In the Interest of sound
public morals and of primitive Republican
faith, we seek the political downfall of a man
-whose nubile record dishonors himself, his
party and bis State. There is but one alterna
tive either Mr. Quay mnst be shorn of politi
cal power or the Republican party must lose its
high name as the party of progress and the
representative of great moral ideas.
It must accept the igdoble title of the party
cf immoral ideas, whose claim to power is no
longer right but might, and whose appeal is
not now, as in the days ot Lincoln, addressed
through lofty and legitimate argument to the
reason of the people, to their native sense of
justice and of truth. It will then become a
party whose youthful aspiration is sunk in
hopeless corruption and whose purse strings
have strangled its patriotism.
Anxious to avc the Party.
To avert such a catastrophe we appeal to you
as tie Chief Magistrate of the Nation to aid us
in this strugcle by withdrawing from Mr. Quay
the patronage of Pennsylvania, the responsi
bility for which has been placed by the .Consti
tution in your hands. It is in this delegated
power to give and to withhold office, to bribe
and punish, that Mr. Quay's strength largely
lies. Withhold it from him and his political
power will cease to exist. Respectfully,

rSFECIAL TZXIOBAM TO THE DISPATCn.1
Butleb, October 6. The Democratic
State campaign party, consisting of ex-Governor
Robert E. Pattison, Hon. Chauncey
F. Black, Captain W. H. Barclay, Hon.
Robert E. "Wright, Major Moses Veale, W.
J. Brennan, Esq., Hon. E. ABigler and
others, arrived in town from Pittsburg this
morning at 9 o'clock and was met at the
"West Penn station by the Reception Com
mittee and a large concourse of citizens.
The distinguished visitors were conveyed
through the streets to the Opera House
in carriages profusely decorated with patri
otic emblems. The procession which accom
panied the party was large and enthusiastic,
and was headed by the Germania Band.
Every seat in the Opera House was filled
when County Chairman Heineman called
the meeting to order and named Leo Mc
Quistan, Esq., as Chairman, who in
troduced Mr. Pattison as the people's
candidate. It was the ex-Governor's
first appearance before a Butler audience
and the hearty greeting given him was cer
tainlvvery flattering. He discussed cor
porations, laying particular stress upon the
influences which had so long delayed the
passage of the free pipe line bill and equal
ization of "taxation, and spoke of the im-'
portance of home rule and clean politics in
a clear and comprehensive menner, and at
th-' conclusion of his address received hearty
applause and a generous bouquet of flowers.
Chauncey Black following with a short
and witty speech, which was well received.
He was suffering from hoarseness and at
times could not be heard iu all parts of the
house. Veale dwelt upon the soldiers
burial bill principally and explained the
Governor's veto of the same. Michael J.
Ryan, a young Irish orator from Philadel
phia, made the closing speech. He paid
his respects to the junior Senator from this
State in most scathing terms and praised
those Republicans that determined to follow
his leadership no longer. In the list of vice
presidents were the names of several Repub
licans. The partv left here nt 10:30 on a
special train for Kittauing and Brookville.
It was 9 o'clock iu the evening before the
Pattison party from Brookville arrived at
Clarion. In the meantime Major Veale,
from Philadelphia, addressed a fair-sized
audieuce at the Opera House on the issues of
the campaig. Upon his arrival ex-Governor
Pattison repaired thither at once. He spoke
for an hour to a, house crowded to overflow
ing. He contrasted the- expenditures of the
last administration with those of his own
during the four years previous. He referred
with pride to the extra session which was
convened in pursuance oC a constitutional
principle. Explanation was offered of- the
numerous vetoes charged against him, and
a parting plea was made for home rulejj self
government and clean politics.
Burin:: this time an overflow meeting was
being addressed in the Court House by Can
didate for State Senate Harry A. Hall, of
Elk county. At tbe cjo-c of-'his remarks
the ex-Governor; appearcd&Dd made a brief
plea for free government iu distinction from
the boss system. The party expect to re
tnrn in the morning, making Iteynoldsville
and Dubois their next objective points.

ISrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB BISPATCH.1
Philadelphia, October 6. Congress
man Richard Vaux, who was last spring
elected to fill the unexpired term of- the late
Samuel J. Randall, to-day accepted the In
dependent Democratic nomination for the
full term in the following letter:
Mr. Joseph T. Klngsler, Chairman, and Gentle
men of the Committee:
You have notified me of my nomination by a
meeting of citizens of the Third Congressional
district for re-election to the next Congress.
The voluntary action nt that meeting, as ex
pressed in the proceedings which you present,
must be regarded as evidence of the opinion of
the people of the district, entitled to the re
spect of all candid men. It has been accented
as true since the establishment of our system
of government that the consent of the" gov
erned is tho only sure basis on which it can
rest. When the people freely express
their choice of a representative, without
any intermediate agencies, who is to
advocate and maintain the rights of
individuals, advance tueir prosperity as tollers,
defend tne business interests of all engaged In
industrial and commercial enterprises and
maintain the principles which underlie ju
dicious economic legislation, it is the duty of
the person so selected to accept the responsi
bility thns involved upon him and therefore I
accept this nomination. Since I first engaged
in business I have been associated with the
people of the Third Congressional district, in
which I was born, having lived as a plain citi
zen amonc tnem. ever devoted to tho best in.
terests of Philadelphia and offered the labor
of these years for its welfare, I leave the issue
of this canvass to the feound judgment and
good will of its voters.
Your fellow citizen,
Richard Vaux.
ATKINSON ADMITS IT.
There Wns a Scheme to Colonize West VI r
slnln WillNeuron.
"Wheeling, October G. A reporter to
day interviewed Congressman G. "W. Atkin
son, Secretary of the State Republican
Committee, regarding the alleged expose by
an Eastern paper of a scheme on the part of
himselt, Quay, Dudley and others to colo
nize West Virginia with negroes. The
article in substance charged that after the
November elections negroes were to be per
suaded to locate in "West Virginia in time
to vote iu 1892 and aid in "stealing the elec
toral vote." Mr. Atkinson admitted that
he had been in consultation with different
parties at different times in regard to en
couraging good men, especially coal miners,
to come to West Virginia and assist in de
veloping the mineral resources. He con
tinued: "Representative Smith, Senator Quay,
myself and others, when we were consider
ing the proposition made to us to find homes
for colored people irom North Carolina and
the Southern States distinctly announced,
and I repeat it here, that we would not con
sider any proposition that did not imply
permanent citizenship on the part of all who
were to come, and if after they come among
us and become legal citizens, they should
choose to vote the Republican ticket we
certainly would not object."

rSPECIAL TELXORAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
SCOTTDALE, October G. Senator Dela
mater and his party were enthusiastically
received here to-day. Tbey were met at
Greensburg by 20 members of the Young
Men's Republican Club. Arriving here at
2:30 they were meby the G. A. R. Cornet
band wbicb, with the committee, escorted
them through the various manufacturing
establishments of the city. After their trio,
which was characterized with cheers from
the men from beginning to end, they
marched to the Grand Central Opera House,
Senator Delamater was the first speaker.
After his introduction a series of deafening
cheers went up. He made a 40-minute
speech in which he scored the Democrats
jor their tactics to secure votes, He said:
"They say I was not nominated by the Re
publican party (or Governor, but only ap
pointed. This is an insult which will be
rebuked by the voters of this Common
wealth. They also object to me because I
am young and go around and see the bovs."
He also spoke at length on the equalization
of taxes, so that the larmer would be bene
fited thereby, and said he would, with
great pride, sign a bill during his adminis
tration as Governor which would benefit
them. He said the Democratic candidates
were continuously warning them of an ex
plosion which would occur and result to
their detriment, but instead of a disastrous
explosion it was only fizz, somewhere up
in McKean county, 'of the X T Z nature.
Delamater was Irequently interrupted dur
ing his address by cheering.
"Watres followed in a short address, and
introduced Stewart, who was also loudly ap
plauded. He sailed into Pattison's admip
istration, and severely criticisedhis action in
vetoing the soldiers' burial bill. After the
speaking the partv were tendered a public
reception at the Hill House.
At Connellsville, the next stopping place
after leaving here, they were given a grand
ovation. At this place there was a general
suspension of work, and the largest political
mass meeting of recent years was held. The
business houses were beautifully decorated
in honor of the party.

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Philadelphia, October 6. Senator
Quay arrived at the Continental Hotel this
evening from Atlantic City, where he
had been spending a few days fish
ing. As he sat in his room
he looked the picture of per
fect health. He said that the weather
had interfered somewhat with his favorite
pastime, but as the catches were large he
had little reason to complain. "When
spoken to regarding the political situation,
he said: "My friends whom you see here,"
pointing to City Chairman Porter, Collec
tor Martin, Magistrate Durhan and
other well-known local leaders, "have been
paying attention to the contest. They
understand it thoroughly and are confident
of victory for their party's candidate. I
have not yet been able to give much atten
tion to the campaign, as my time
since the adjournment of Congress has
been spent at the seashore. So far
as ultimate results are concerned I have no
fear but that the Republican State ticket
will be elected. The party has fulfilled
every promise made to the people, and tbey
can be depended upon to vote, not for senti
ment, but for the candidates ol the
'party which has uniformly advocated
that" which would best serve the
interest of the people as a whole. I will re
main here to meet State Chairman Andrews,
who is at bis home, and who will be here to
morrow. I will to-morrow confer with some
ol the local leaders and transact some pri
vate business, after which I will go to-"my
home at Beaver to see my family."

"Washington, October 6-After a trip
"West, during which be took special pains
to inform himself about the political situa
tion in several States, Uncle Jerry Rusk
again appeared at his desk in the Agricult
ural Departmeut to-day. Being asked about
the prospects in bis own and other States
the Secretary said: ''Wisconsin is just as
safely Republican as lam. It would not
surprise me very much if our majority in
creased considerably. All the side issues are
pretty well eliminated, and both parties
have settled down to an old-fashioned po
litical campaign. "We are sure winners.
Senator Spooner opened the campaign, and
he did it well. There can't be any doubt
about the result.
"Ohio? Yes, I did stopover there a little
while. McKinley has a good show for suc
cess. Ex-Governor Charley Foster is an
other Republican who is bound to get there.
Pennsylvania is all right There's no doubt

A VERDICT, AGAINST MANSELL.
The jury in the case of Rev. Dr. R. B.
Mansell brought in its verdict this after
noon. Two of the charges were sustained,
and the convicted man was sentenced to
undergo a severe reprimand in open confer
ence, adminished by the Bishop. The gen
eral sentiment is that the verdict is just,
"The reason for the lightness of the pun
ishment," said a prominent divine to-night,
"is lound in the belief that Dr. Mansell is
mentally unaccountable." The verdict of
the committee expressly states that owing to
certain characteristics iu the mental
make-up of Rev. Dr. Mansell be
is not dealt with severely. Bishop
Mallalieu, in administering the reproof
did not insist upon Dr. Mansell comine ber
fore him. He sat alone in a distant pew,
with bowed head. The Bishop spoke feel
ingly of the shortcomings of the accused and
hoped from time he would be a living ex
ample of truthfulness and all that is good.
He asked that the members of the Confer
ence forgive and forget and that they pray
for their brother in distress.
Rev. Mr. Beacom then moved that the
conference pass Dr. Mansell's character.
The charge in the "Washington district, to
which Dr. Mansell has been assigned, is
one of the smallest in the district. J. H.
"Wilkinson and J. B. Taylor were appointed
a committee to assist Presiding Elder Jones
in the investjgation oi the charges against
Rev. Mr. Riley. There was considerable
discussion in his case over the question of
further investigation, wbich course was final
ly decided upon, though Mr. Riley insisted
on an immediate trial.

calling an extra session of the Legislature
to consider the corruption in the board at
Cincinnati, as follows:
By virtue of the authority vested In mo by
the Constitution of the Stato of Ohio, I, James

tako action thereon as it may seem proper.
The Chairman, Secretary and other offi
cials of the Democratic Stale Committee,
together with the candidates for Secretary or
State, Supreme Judge and other prominent
Democrats, called on the Governor early
this morning to induce him to not issue the
call, which they thought would be against
Democratic success in the campaign, but the
Governor succeeded in convincing them oth
erwise. Iu view of the special session the
Republican State Central Committee has
been called to meet in this city ThursJay
evening to discuss the situation. The policy
of the Republicans will be to prolong the
session, and it is hinted they will support
Governor Campbell as far as possible.

Salt Lake City, October 6. At the
General Conference of the Church of Jesus
Christ ol Latter Day Saints this morning,
the official declaration of President "Wilford
Woodruff, forbidding in the future any mar
riages in violation of the laws of the land,
was read, and the congregation, numbering
nearly 10,000 persons, including the apos
tles, bishops and leading elders oi the
church, by unanimous vote recognized the
authorltyof the President to issue the mani
festo, and accepted it as authoritive and
binding.
George Q. Cannon publicly announced
his indorsement of the manifesto and his
recognition of the supremacy of laws that
had been declared constitutional by the Su
preme Court of the United States. The
Conference also readopted the original ar
ticles of faith, among which is this: "We
believe in being subject to Kings, Presi
dents, rulers and magistrates, in obeying,
honoring and sustaining the law."
The action taken settles the question, and
places an effectual bar against tuture
polygamous marriages in Utah. It is the
most important step taken by the Church
for more than a quarter of a century. '
Yesterday George Q Cannon spoke in
eulogy of the Church and praised the hero
ism oi the brethren in the penitentiary, say
ing that the Saints would obey the laws and
bow in submission to the nation's will, and
leave the consequences with the Lord. He
told the people not to worry about 1891
that Christ would not come then. He was
followed and indorsed by President Wood

"Washington, October 6. The annual
report of Commissioner Green B. Raum, of
the Pension Bureau, shows that there
were at the end of the last fiscal
year 537,944 pensioners borne upon
the rolls, and classified as follows:
army invalid pensioners, 392,809; army
widows, minor children and dependent rela
tives, 104,450; uavy invalid pensioners,
5,274; navy widows, minor children and de

6,764; total, 527,944 There were 66,637
original claims allowed during the year,
being 14,761 more original claims than were
allowed during the fiscal year 1889, and
0,385 more than were allowed during the
fiscal year 1888.
There have been received in the Pension
Office 460,282 claims to September 30, 1890,
under the disability pension act of June 27,
1890. It will be readily understood that
the care of such an enormous number of
claims received in so short a time necessa
rily taxed the resources ot the office to its
fullest extent The work of the mail divis
ion ran up to more than 32,000 pieces of
mail per day to bo opened, classified and

No engine was attached, or tbe results

not seriously. The cars containing the

BY DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l '
Dublin, October 6. The conference of
the Irish Parliamentary party was opened
this afternoon under the Presidency of Mr.
Justin McCarthy in the absence of Mr.
Parnell. The proceedings were conducted
with closed doors, but afterward a public
meeting was held, at which five resolutions
were submitted.
The first condemns the Government for
joining the syndicate of landlords organized
to depopulate certain estates in the country,
and calls for legislative enactments restor
ing the evicted tenants to their holdings as
in 1887. The second refers to the failure of
the potato crop, and demands that the Gov
ernment suspend proceedings for the recov
ery of Vent.
THE MEANNESS OF BALFOUH.
The third refers to the meanness of tbe
Government in striking at the members of
the Irish Parliamentary party in the pres
ent crisis and trying them before a tribunal
without a jury to prevent their going to
America In order to appeal for aid for their
suffering countrymen. The fourth calls on
the Irish people to renew their suhscrip
tions to the Tenants' Defense Association
until steps be taken to open the National
fund.
Tbe fifth informs the American people
that in view of the enormous importance
before the general election of making the
situation in Ireland clear to them, Messrs.
John Dillon, William O'Brien, Timothy
D. Sullivan, O'Connor, Timothy Harring
ton and Abraham Gill will proceed to the
United States. ,
Tbe announcement, at tbe last moment,
that Mr. Parnell would not attend caused
general disappointment and speculation as
to the reason. The organs of theParnellites
bad laid special stress on tbe fact that every
member would be present to-day and Mr.
Parnell's presence was taken for granted.
THE IRISH PAKTY DIVIDED.
Rumors arc current that the party is
divided upon recent events in Ireland. If
certain members of the party who are de
fendants in the conspiracy case at Tipperary
absent themselves from the hearing of the
magistrate in order to attend the meeting
the Dublin authorities will adopt stringent
measures iu order to enforce their reappear
ance in Tipperary at the earliest moment.
IhelrUh Times says: "There are rumors
that thefe 'U no unanimity in the inner
circles,of the Irish party." It concludes
with a statement that tbe leaders arc at log
gerheads, and the interests and prospects of
Mr. Davitt'a new paper and United Ireland
clash, and the great sympathetic chiefs are
at dagger's points.
Mr. Michael Davitt was interviewed by a
reporter and said: "As far as I am aware
there is nothing of the sort. I do not see
how the interests of a paper published in
London can interfere with one published in
Dublin. The remarks are cure speculation
of a coercionist organ which is hostile to
both publications. I am unable to explain
Mr. Parnell's absence from to-dav's meet
ing. I understood he would certainly at
tend, but I presume he is not well."
TABDY CLEMENCY.

Dynamiters jn Prison.
BY CABLE TO TBE DISPATCH.1
London, October 6. I have good reason
to believe that the Government has decided
to release, under certain conditions, a num
ber ot the unfortunate men now serving life
sentences in'British prisons for complicity
in the earlier dynamite outrages or attempted
outrages. Recent investigations have
proved, practically beyond doubt, that
many of these men, probably the majority,
were victims oflagitators and provocateurs.
This discovery, coupled with the fact that
no blood was shed by them and that they
have already endured heavy punishment of
years in convict prisons, has induced the
Government to recommend to the Crown to
give merciful reconside'ration to their cases.

Manchester, October 6. Mr. Knox,

reference to tbe Irish question: "The Irish
members do not want the people of that
conutry to be debased by charity, or fed by
pity, but they desira a change in the sys
tem of government which will enable them
to feed themselves. It is quite possible
there will be disturbances during the win
ter, but Englishmen must not be too critical
if, under terrible provocation, Irishmen do
things which men who have no fear of
starvation would not do."

LN TOTAL DARKNESS.
All the Farnnce In the Hcntcb Black
Conntry Unvr Shut Down.
TBY PUMJtP'S CABLE COMFAXY.1
Glasgow, October 6. For the first time
in the history of the iron manufactories, the
Scotch black country is in total darkness,
unbroken by the familiar lights of the blast
furnaces, aud the gloomy appearance of the
manufacturing districts, especially in
Lanarkshire and Ayrshire, is most unusual.
The stoppage causes serious incqnvenience,
as all the furnaces, numbering 85, are either
damped down or blown out, giving absolute
proof of the fact that the masters intend to
make a prolonged fight.
Evictions of the workingmen are feared
if the dispute is prolonged. It is estimated
that the reduction in the output of iron will
be 20,000 tons, and tbe trade generally will
be greatly damaged. Large numbers of (he
men have gone to the North of England,
but the poorer and improvident enes remain,
and excited men gather round in groups and.
discuss the situation.
DILLON AND O'BRIEN.
Their Reception at Dahlia and the Trial
at Tipperary,
By Associated Press. J
Dublin, October 6. Messrs. Dillon,
O'Brien, Sheehy, Harrison and Condon re
turned to Dublin to-night. They were met
at the station by a great crowd and wero es
corted to Mr. Dillon's residence. In re
sponse to repeated demands for a speech Mr.
Dillon came out on the balcony and made a
brief address. He said that he and
his associates would be no party
to parading the- Irish people before
the world as a nation of beggars. The peo
ple ought not to be driven to beg when there
was lood enough in tbe country. Mr.
O'Brien also addressed the crowd He
praised the generosity of the Irish-Americans,
and spoke of the importance of to
day's conference as a parliament of the
whole Irish race. The Women s Liberal
Association of Bradford, England, has given
50 to the National League.
The Magistrates' Court at Tipperary, be
fore which the cases of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien, charged with conspiracy, are being
heard, reconvened this morning.
On behalf of Mr. O'Mahony, Mr. Dillon
produced certificates from two doctors stat
ing that be was seriously ill, and that it was
impossible for him to attend tbe trial. Mr.
Ronan, the prosecutor, claimed the excuse
was not valid, and the Court granted his re
quest for an adjournment
Upon tbe reassembling of tbe court Mr.
Ronan stated that the prosecution bad tele
graphed to doctors to examine O'Mahony.
He expected they wonld appear in court
later and testify as to O'Mahony' condi
tion and he therefore asked that the
court take a further adjournment, which
was ordered.

A SODTflSIDE PLEA FOR FREE BRIDGES
Commou Council has reconsidered the
motion to indefinitely postpone action on
Mrs. Schcnley's oner of 19 acres of land for
a park entrance and has passed the ordi
nance providing for its purchase. It was
stated in Council that this property will
also be the site of the main buildings of the
Carnegie Library. ,
t
The city will buy the 19 acres of land o&
fered by Mrs. Schenley at S"5,000 for a park
entrance and pile for the Carnegie. Library
if Common Council's, recommendation is
adopted. That body held a special meet
ing yesterday, reconsidered its decision in
indefinitely postponing action in th'e mat
ter, and passed the ordinance providing for
its purchase, under a suspension of the
rules.
Mr. O'Donnell raised tbe point that the
call for the meeting was too indefinite, and
stated incidentally that it began to look as
if Councils were the tool of the city chief,
instead of the latter being ubordinate to
Councils.
Chairman Holliday decided that the call
was iu accordance with the rules, and Mr.
Magee said tuat the chief of departments
had nothing to do with calling meetings, as
that power was vested in the Chair and the
committees.
Mr. Eergusop started the fray bv moving
to reconsider the action by which the ordi
nance accepting Mrs. Schenlev's offer was
indefinitely postponed, to which Mr. O'Don
nell raised the point that the ordinance took
money out of the treasury which bad not
been appropriated and so was illegal.
Chairman Hollhlay The money is not
payable until next May and will, come in
under the next appropriation ordinance.
Mr. MacGonnigle I moved to postpone
this matter at the last meeting and I see no
reasons for reconsideration.
FEKGUSON MISSED A. BIG BARGAIN.
Mr. Ferguson Sinca the last meeting I
have made inquiries and find that the
land is worth 10,000 an acre. Within the
last year I was offered a piece of property
on Joneaire street for.4,500. I didn't take
it, and now I am sorry for it, for it baa
since been sold for $50,009. On examina
tion I also find that this property is the
only good entrance to the park.
Mr. Taggart said he had been opposed to
the ordinance, but upon investigation found
that the city would be a gainer, and he
didn't want to see a good thing go bv.
Mr. O'Donnell I am still opposed to the
ordinance. The park was given to the city,
then we had to buy 100 acres to make it
completed, and now there are 19 acres more
needed for an entrance. It is too far away
to benefit the mill workers, but there is
some property in the neighborhood which is
owned bv men who will nuke money by
this ordinance, and these people are em
ployed in City Hall at salaries th it pay
fully for their services. Eighty per cent of
the people are opposed to the park, I be
lieve. I am willing to vote for an annual
appropriation of ?50,000 for park purposes,
but no more than that until the streets are
improved.
Mr. MacGonnigle The young man from
the Fourteenth ward (Mr. Magee) will get
up presentlv and tell us how the working
men will enjoy the park. I am with work
ingmen every day, and I can say they are
not "stuck" on the park. It is time to stop
this park extravagance. T have been over
the ground and it is simply ridicnloui to
say that these'lO acres are needed to get
into the 4L5 acres the city already owns.
The city bad widened Diamond street and
other streets, and could open a street lOCdr
200 feet wide through this property, which
is simply a hole, and assess the cost on the
property benefited.
the caenegie libbabt site.
Mr. Ferguson I understand that the
Carnegie Library is to be located on this
property, and if so we ought to have a good
entrance. I was opposed to accepting the
park in the first place, but now we have it
we must do the best we can, and not have an
elephant-on our hands.
The Chair read a communication from W.
J. Lewis, urging Council to reconsider its
action. Tbe writer did not want to pay
heavy taxes, but would cheerfully pay the
park' tax. This iand wa3 well worth the
money asked, and as he had no property
near the pare, he could disinterestedly urge
the purchase. '
Mr. Taggart. wanted Mr. Bigelow to ex
plain wl)y this ground is needed, but several
members objected, and tbe Council pro
ceeded 'to vote on the motion to reconsider.
It was carried the ballot standing 25 aye3
and 10 noes: The members voted:
Ayes Messrs. Angloch, Brown, Crawford, -
Donley. Delaney. Sunn, Elliott, Ferguson.
Uroetzincer, Hagmaier, Johnston. Kearns,
Larkln, Lowry, Magee, Mason, McClure,
McElclowner. McGuire, O'Connor, Pitcalro.
Shannon, Tagcert, Wallace, Wilson and
White-26.
. Noes Messrs. Biewster. Fox, Jarrett. Met.
calfe, MacGonlgle. O'Donnell, Stewart, Vogt,
Wright and Holliday 10.
Mr. Ferguson moved that the rules be
suspended to place the ordinance, on second
and third reading and final passage. A
division was called for and the vote stood
29 ayes to 7 noes. A three-fourths vote is
required, and tbe friends of the ordinance
had jdst one vote more than the majority
required.
Mr. MacGonigle offered an amendment
providing that not more than $20,000 should
be spent lor a bridge across the run to the
park. Mr. Magee and Mr. Ferguson raised
the point that the amendment did not relate
to the subject of the ordinance, and was
illegal. Tbe Chair sustained this point,and
Mr. MacGonigle withdrew his amendment.
He at once offered a motion to postpone ac
tion until tbe next meeting, to cive the
Councilmen a chance to look at the prop
erty. BUILDING PAEKS TOO EAPIDLT.
' Mr. Bigham, in seconding tbe motion,
said: "We are going too tar in this park
matter. In the past year everything has
been subordinated to the park, and it has
occupied the time and attention of theChiel
ol the Department ot Public Works to the
neglect of the streets, the sewers, and the
necessities of everyday life. Thisordinauce
calls for the expenditure of $75,000 directly.
Indirectly it calls for half a million dollars.
