Republican Btate Convention did not adopt a reeolation on-doming Oen polior on the San Do-Tningo acbemo The Time uea very ex language about ipaa of offloiaJ power and and ac-kmwl edges that is not easy to crowd through a gigantio and notoriously oorrnpt Jo hi This Is Moouim the reader be told applied to Gen Grant 1 but we are sore the tuns Tammany has taken open th editorial eyes to the use of offloial power and and the determination ef the people Impresses on its memory that is not easy to crowd through agigantio and notoriously corrupt Then the Times says: all the pressure of backed by the personal presence ot Mr Cresswell the Postmaster-General availed to ooerce the Maryland Radicals fate an endorsement of that bad and fbully oorrnpt scheme of The tenor of the whole article conveys the Idea that the Maryland Republican Convention disapproved of tbe whole course ot the administration But the con-' truly the fact It warmly endorsed its polloy in every particular with the exception of a resolution approving of the an-aeuation of San Domingo which was tabled by a vote of 56 to 48 a small majority As to Postmaster-General pressncs at the convention he merely gavoa history ot his department which was heartily concurred in and he made no reference to San Domingo But assuming the statement to be correct It gives to tbe Republican party a notoriety for independence and hodesty which oaunot be truthfully claimed for the Democracy The Repihlioana of Maryland refusing to endursh the annexation of San Domingo Show their (rankness and honesty in not endorsing a scheme with which they had BO sympathy even though it was framed by a Republican president and that they only endorsed so much of a publio oonduot as was consistent with their views Contrast this with the action of the Democracy at lfaw Tork While their chosen leaden are impeached for malfeasance they are rewarded with nominations to the legislature ar with public demonstrations of approval This lsexaotly tha difference between the Republicans and the Demo-o rat as political bodies un Mated this that by commencing to street at the ty limits all of tbe bers would need changing whsaovqr nd wfc oity limltk extended beyond the numbering commenced while If the oity extended in the other dtreotlon very few new numbers comparatively would ever be required on this street Counoil-man Butler proposed to commence numbering over by the mountain sO as to avoid all future trouble After tome further discussion tho by-law waa adopted by a vote of 10 yes to 6 nav Counoilmaa Cook stated that tha Inhabitant on Oak and other streets where pipes were laid sometime ago were anxiously waiting for the oity water to be let on in those street He moved tbat the Counoil instruct Mr Duuoan to let water on in those streets Counoilman Curtis said ha understood that the pipe had aot been accepted by tbe city beoauae it waa laid only tw or two and a half feet below tbe surfaoe of tbe ground Instead of four feet as it sbonld have been Councilman Cook said that the pipe was laid under tbe dictation of Mr Swift In a level street like Cook's Avenue there would be no trouble In laying tbe pipe four feet below tbe surfaoe Its entire length but this could not be done In streets tbat were not level -He thought tbat there would be no danger of frost even If the pipe was not more than two feet under groond Mr Swift takes the entire responsibility Applications are made to tpe Board nearly every day for water on the streets referred to aud they are anxious tbat the Couhcll shall take bold of the matter and aot upon ltdeflnitely The trouble it all caused by those who have been vexed at tbe past ao-tlon of the Counoil Mayor Lewis called Alderman Wetmore to tbe chair and spoke briefly in regard to tbe matter He said that the bill for laying thee pipes had been presented to the Board of Water Commissioners and by them referred to the Council with a recommendation that the contractor be required to relay tbe pipes before being puld The contraot stipulated that the pipes should be four feet below tbe surface and he thought that the city should pay less If it was laid only at a depth of 2 1-2 feet than it would if it had been plaoed four feet below the surface Tbe pipe will probably freeze He moved as an amendment to Cgunoilman Cook's motion tbat tbe pipe be relaid before being paid for and before the water is let on This elio-ited considerable discussion in whioh Messrs Cook Curtis Whipple Yale Beatty and others participated The amendment was adopted by a rising vote Mr John 8 Blake wished to know if he would be remunerated for the numbers ht had procured lor Main East Malu and West Main streets about two-tbtrds of which he would have no use for Mayor Lewis thought that some of the numbers oould be used on new houses to be hereafter eroded on other streets Councilman Beatty stated that there was due seventy-four or five dollars ou the debt lnourred at the Seventh Regiment reunion in this oitr Tbe oity helped oue regiment last year and it was thought it might do as muoh for this regiment now Couoollman Whipple said tbe precedent of last year was a bad one The Counoil took no action as a body on the mdtter at this meeting but the members Individually were given an opportunity of contributing towards paying the balance dim Adjourned to Monday October 2ud at 7:80 pm Stats
