THE FintlT WITH DISH ON EXT Y. it would appear that the Diogenes of American politics, worn nut with his long hunt, was dis- loosed to lay aside his lantern after the Buffalo election. Whatever else inay have been searched for, It Is pretty well settled that he had found an honest man, and what Is of more consequence, the honest man was brave enough to carry his private ligfons into his public duties, with no regard to partisanship on the one hand, or the influence and threats of political scoundrels on the other. There was no uncertain sound in bis inaugural demand them better than we do, and he’ll do the right thing.” suppose that this kind of faith ill character is one of the most Inestimable discoveries that a man can make, and I was interested to find that the element of popularity did not grow out of the subject of good-fellowship, or mere manners. I fallal to bear anyone say that Grover Cleveland crowded but there was to be no military parade, no procession. The governor-elect walked from the executive mansion in company with his friend to the capitol, which is a mile distant, joining the throngs that were going that way. He entered the building unrecognized, but quite at his case, sauntered up to the executive chamber, and was there met by Governor Cornell. The moment the inaugural ceremony was over he passed into the spacious executive chamber which is set upart for his use, ordered that the doors should be opened to admit anybody, and went immediately to work, Never was any important public event so com pletely stripped of its fuss and feathers. Never was a more radical change effected in the official routine of tke executive department. Hitherto there were all sorts of delays and impedi ments in the path to the governor. Cards had to be sent in, ushers conducted citizens into ante rooms, ami left them to cool their heels oh the state’s tessellated floor. But the moment Graver Cleveland took possession he issued order to admit anybody at once who wished to see* him. And up to the*present time he has been quite able himself to prevent this return to repub lican simplicity from being ubused. His habits are indicative of his dislike ol ostentation and official parade, and of his methodical and industrious training. He walks from the executive mansion every morning at 9 o’clock to the capitol and goes had any magnetism, or that he fascinated a crowd. straight to work.

Tha Commissioners Meat and Open the Bids for the Work Whst They Found- Only Two Bids for the Work All In a Lump The Figures Above the Appropriation. The capitol commission met at noon Tuesday in the senate chamber. There were present only four of the commissioners, Messrs. Cook, Alexan der, Crane ami Miller. Mr. Kdbrooke, the architect, was present, as was also the secretary, Mr. Harrison. Governor McDaniel is in Athens, and could not be with the hoard. The senate chamber presented a very unusual appearance aa the hands of the clock drew nigh to the hour of twelve. Every scat in the room was occupied and almost every face was that of a stranger. They were all faces mark ed by intelligence, decision of character and deep interest in the proceedings. All were contractors who had figured on bids for the erection of tke new state capitol, and a flue looking body of men they were. In a large willow basket which sat near the president 1 * desk were a numlier ol packages done up ns if for transportation in the mails. Some wereordinary looking letters, while others were of imposing size. Mr. Tip Harrison arose when the clock struck twelve and read the advertisement and the in struction* which had gone out with the request for bids. He then made a dive for the basket of bids, preceded to tear open one. As he did so he announced the bid. Thus he continued for au hour and a-half, until all the bids were opened and examined. The examination of the bids* showed them to be as follows: u.Stone Mountain Granite company,sign ed by J. A. Alexander, president.
