ent and Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Murray

gates for the evidenoe of confidence in
them wbloh their selection demons
trated, Mr. Murray also took occasion
to remark that he would do all in his
power, wnile performing the duties of
bis oilioe, to advance the interests of the
Democratic party and olosed by ex
pressing the hope that the work of the

intelligence and good judgment of tbe
delegates.
A committee consisting of T. P.
Duffy, Harry Klanmlnlzer and T. P.
Hoban was appointed on resolutions.
and T. C. Melvin moved that tbe con
vention take a recess for ten minutes
to enable the committee to prepare its
report.
"We don t need tbat much time; bva
minutes is enough," deolared Commit
teeman Hoban, and tbreupon the con
vention decided not to adjourn at all,
but suspended business until tbe com
mittee re-appeared, whiob it did five
minutes later. It asked permission to
withhold its report until the nomina
tion of the candidate was made, which
was granted.

named John r. (jniunan. Tbe nomi
nation was seoouded by T. P. Hoban,
wbo paid an eloquent tribute to the
ability and worth of Mr. Qalnnan. He
deolared that the latter was elected
two years ago, but that the legislature
thwarted the will of the people by un
seating him. No other nomination
was made and Mr. Quinnan was
unanimously chosen.
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
."here wss a call for the resolutions
and Mr. Hoban read the following as
tbe report of tbe committee:
Tbe Democracy of tbe Second legislative
district of Lackawanna, in convention as
sembled, express its hearty approval of
tbe work of the Democratic congress in its
endeavor to carry ont tha pledges of tbe
party in tbe Use of tariff reform; of the
sturdy honesty of Grover Cleveland, and
also its indorsement of the able and clean
administration of Robert E. Pattison.
It records Its approbation of tbe services
of Hon. John P. Quinnan in tbe state leg
islature, and challenge the closest scrutiny
of tbe same by the citizens of this district,
bis voice and vote being invariably found
on tbe side of the masses and against the
classes.
It emphatically condemns tbe reckless
ness and sbamelessness of tbe Republican
party in tbe state legislature in depriving
Mr. Quinnan and five other Democrats ot
their seats in the legislature by tbe brute
force of a partisan majority, notwith
standing the fact that be was elected by a
majority of twenty on the face of the re
turns, and that alter bis eisctton bad been
contested in the courts of Lackawanna
county his majority was increased to
thirty-two.
It calls upon tbe voters of the Second
district to repudiate in a practical way
this recklessly unjust course ot tbe Kepub
lican majority bv sending back to the leg
islature Hon. John P. Quinnan with suob
a majority that there win be no tbougbt
of a contest on the part of his opponent,
and no shadow ot an excuse for ousting
htm by even tne most autocratic Repub
lican legislature.
These resolutions were adopted with
out question, comment or enthusiasm.
and T. P. Duffy and John Mawn were
sent out to bring in the nominee. A
few minutes later they appeared witb
Mr. Quinnan and in introducing bim
to the convention Mr. Donahoe made a
short speech enlogistlo of the oandi
date.
THE CANDIDATE THANKFUL.
Mr. Quinnan thanked the delegates
for naming him ns their candidate, re
viewed the campaign of two years ago
and the subsequent contest and dwelt
upon the trsaohery in his own party
that be said he had to contend with
during bis last canvass. He expressed
the hope tbat this year he would bave
the united support' of the members of
his party. Incidentally he declared
that the Demoeratio party bad re
deemed all the promises made in the
last presidents! campaign nnd tbat
Grover Cleveland was all right.
After deciding to let the chairman of
the conyentiou and Mr. Quinnan name
tbe standing committee tbe body ad
journed. HAO A DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE.

SUPPLY COMMITTEE CHALLENGED.
EJitor of Tim TninuNB.
Dear Sir: Owing to the controversy
tbat has come ur In the school bnard over
tbe purchase of supplies", aud in which I
have been brought forward for comments
pro and con on my action, I deem it justice
tomvseir to eive thocublicanexulanatlon
The request in the newspaper for bills
called for 3U,UQ0 pads made from SU by SS,
40-pound paper, 100 sheets to the pad. J
cut in bids on a complete line of paper.
nnd finally on tbe selection of tbe pad, a
35-pound newnpaper pad was selected, bid
on by Reynolds uros. as su pounus, prico
SlH.iiO per 1,000. JUy paper the same
weight and same grade was bid on by me
at (10 per 1,000, making a difference ot J4
between my bid and Keynold's tiros. The
contract was awarded to them at tbe ad
vanced price. I went before the board
and offered to prove by machine and testi
mony that my paper was equal or better
than Reynolds Bros. My offers were re
jected. Another article that was bid on, was
Oakland Mills writing paper. This paper
was bid on by me at llU cents per pound.
It was awarded to Price & Roe at 12
cents per pound, maklna a difference of
some iiO more than was bid on by me for'
the same paper.
My assertion that my paper was equal
to the successful bidders, has been doubt
ed. We have 0 to forfait to any hos
pital in the city of Scranton, If wo cannot
prove by newspaper men in this city that
our paper is equal or uecier. me asser
tion was also made by a member of tbe
supply committee that my bid was not in
proper scape. JUy assertion is tuat it was
the most complete bid that was put in. A
motion was made to appoint a committee
of three to Investigate my charges. The
motion was withdrawn. I now challenge
the supply committoe, tbe board ot con
trol, Reynolds Bros, or Price & Roe to ap
point a committee to investigate what I
have said. If this committee is not ap
pointed the taxpayers of the city of Scran
ton can drw their own conclusions I
stand ready at any time to back up my
assertions.
Last year book paper was specified to be
bid on. We all bid on book paper. Rey
nolds Bros, put in a bid that stated that
they would furnish book paper, 40-pound
basis; therefore the contract was awarded
to them. Tbey furnished 33-pound news
paper and it was accepted by tbe board.
Very respectfully yours,
W. II. Withers.

THOSE CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES.
Editor of Thk Tribune;
The awarding 'of the contracts for
school supplies for the coming year, as
recommended by the supply committee,
surely bears investigation by tbe school
controllers and taxpayers. The supplies
in previous years have been furnished by
the lowest responsible biddor and the
question is, why should there be any dis
tinction or discrimination in the present
case
Where there are several grades and
qualities of writing paper and pads to se
lect from the committee could easily show
their preference for a certain weight or
ilnisb, but where the articles are distinct
ly specified and described Bnd there is ab
solutely no difference in quality or size,
there is no room for urgument aud tbe ar
ticles below should be awarded to tbe low
est bidder. Following is a comparative
statement ot supplies as awarded by tbe
committeei Awarded Price & Roe and
M. Norton, six rases enameled cravon, (33;
O. B. Pratt's bid, 29.70. Awarded M.

lira LEGAL
Alderman Yfright's Assertion Concerning
Court House Marriages.
IT MAY GIVE MUCH ANNOYANCE
He Sayt That Marriages Performed
in the Court House by Any Other
Alderman Have No Legal Effect.
Awkward Position in Which This
Places a Large Number of Persons.
About Holding Police Court.
If the position taken by Alderman O.
E Wright, of the Ninth ward, is cor
rect, there is a large number of couples
in this county who are not legally mar
ried. To perfeot their titles to tbe
terms of wife and hnsband they must
needs proceed to have the knot rstied.
Tbe position taken by Alderman
Wright is that he is the only alderman
wbo ean legally perform a marriage
ceremony in the court house for the
reason that the law expressly forbids
one alderiusn or justice of tbe peace
from going into the bail wick of another
to perform an officinl act.
Notwithstanding this plain provision
of the law aldermen and justices of tbe
peace from all parts of tbe county bave
from time to time been called upon to
perform tbe marriage eeremony in tbe
marriage license rooma of the court
honse.
It would be interesting to these peo
ple just now to know exactly where
tbey are at.
HOLDING tOUOt COURT.
Alderman Wright also maintains that
be is tbe only. Alderman who has a
legal right to hold police court in the
municipal building. lie has looked
npthe law earefully on both points,
and avers that his contention is cor
rect and would be sustained by the
court if it was brought to their atten
tion for a judicial opinion.
One of tbe aldermen of the city who
naa frequently beld police eourt at tbe
city hall, yesterday admitted to
Tribune reporter that be did not bare
a legal right to transact business in any
ward outside of his owd, but ioasmush
as it has always been done he follows
the custom. Alderman Wright, he
said, had ne objection to going into the
riiigbtb ward to hold police court when
tne station bouse was in Centre street,
Tbe point raised is a most interesting
one, but may prove extremely annoy
ing to a good many persona.
