The state committee of the middle-of- the-road Topullsts held an all-day session at the English Hotel yesterday. Only two of the committeemen were absent, those of, the Twelfth and Thirteenth districts. The Thirteenth was represented by proxy. leaving the Twelfth the only district in the State without representation. Joe A. Park er, or Louisville, Ky., who was their can didate for President, attended the meeting and took a liberal hand In the discussion. It was the first meeting the state com mittee has held since the election, and was a sort of revival of good' fellowship. No special action was taken by the meeting, but many subjects of much Interest were under discussion. It wasv unanimously de cided to pursue the present straight middle-of-the-road policy providing another plan discussed does not meet the hopes and expectations of the party. This plan is a uniting of all independent parties upon a platform of broad principles. While this union was the paramount topic before the meeting no talk of fusion was heard. It was decided to ask the independent par ties to meet them and discuss their prin ciples. The Populists say they propose to go Into this union, not in a compromising t-pirit, but to be liberal, in their views. If it is found a platform cau be arranged agreeable to all parties the middle-of-the-roaders are willing to put their shoulders to the wheel and push it along. Should such a platform tend toward a radical de parture from the middle-of-the-road Popu list principles that party will refuse to unite. In case a compromise is effected It is the intention of the Populists to pursue their present policy in an uncompromising spirit. Should it befall the party to stand alone, as It has done in the past, radicalism will be' tolerated as far as it is thought best for the good of the party, and enough con servatism will be exercised to maintain the dignity of the principles it represents. No definite action was taken in these matters, but the committee adjourned with minds made up about the proposed collusion of political principles. The Populists recog nize that they are not very far away from several of the other Independent parties, and anticipate a bringing together of these classes of voters under one political head. It was stated that such a union would de tract largely from both of the old parties. Fufflclently to give the new party strength to make a telling demonstration at the polls four years hence. THE COUNTY PRINTING DISCUSSION OVER RIDS RECENTLY SLII3IITTED. Commissioners Deny Chargen that County Reform Law IIa Not lleen Compiled With. There is much discussion over the bids Just submitted to the County Commission ers for county printing. The commissioners say the statement that' the county reform law has not been complied with is untrue, and that the county attorney was consulted in all proceedings incidental to advertising and receiving the bids. Ulds were received In three classes, and It is charged that the classification is not correct. According to one statement the classification is arranged so that small job printers cannot bid on supplies, as the printing they are able to do is classed with books and ledgers, thus shutting them out. As to these statements, the commissioners say requisitions were submitted to the board for supplies necessary for the year 1&01, which were turned over to the County Council. The Council considered the requi sitions at Its September meeting, and made an appropriation covering the amount It considered necessary to supply the county officers for the coming year. The requisi tions submitted were in itemized state ments prepared by each county officer, set ting out the exact amount of printing and stationery they thought would carry them through the year. It is pointed out that thi3 is In conformity with the reform law, and the bids submitted Friday must come within the amount approprlatea or the printing contracts cannot be let. The com missioners say the purpose in advertisi tg for bids is to come below the appropriation. if possible, and also to have an opportu nlty to select the best quality or the ma terial offered by the bidders, in this man ner it is possible for the highest bidder to be the successful one, as the county coun cil has already made the allowance, and his goods might be of superior quality suf flclent to offset the lower bids. The board gives assurance that the law will be com died with In every particular. Commissioner Greer said last night that the charges were unwarranted and wltn out foundation; that the law had been mis quoted, and the complaint was, in all prob ability, coming from some disgruntled bid der. He says the requisitions are submit ted in detail and not in bulk, as charged; that supplies are asked for by the dozen, cross, hundred, thousand, quire or ream as a basis to figure on the estimates. All bids are considered f rom, this Dasis, ne says, an-l there can be no discrimination or favoritism shown to any printer under such method Commissioner McGregor said the man wha made the charge did not know what he was talking about. 'Ue said the Council hr.i already made the appropriation, ana it rould not be exceeded. Deputy Auditor Shepard said the same nlans was carried out last year ana mat au the printers spoke in the highest terms of the method. He said the law is being com plied with in every respect. There may have been mistakes in the classification, he said, because the county officers do not all un derstand the technical terms of printing and mav have misplaced some of the items. but in that event, if any printer cared to bid on anything out of its class he could have done so on the grounds that it wes not properly classified. The specifications for the county printing have been on file for more than two montns and any printer. who cared to investigate, had access to the schedules, and if they were not satisfac tory, could have complained at that time. Mcst of the printers made copies of the specifications and no complaint was en tered. Outside of the possible mistakes Mr. Shepard pointed out he says no rue can be injured, and even in the event th'it those minor mistakes exist, he makes clear a way around them so that no harm can come of the ciassincauon. The bids are as follows: Levy Brothers & Co.'s bid was as follows: Pirst-class, S74D.72: second-class, $3Ga..12; third class. $10S.&t.
