Acting Secretary of War Ma
feely is of the opinion that the
defeat in the aqueduct can be
remedied for $0,000. Cuogross
nien sneer at the suggestion as
childish. Recriminations follow
each other pcll-nieil. The Dem
ocrats charge that the contrac
tors contributed several thous
and dollars lo the Republican
campaign fund of JStf-i as tlie
price of the contract. The Re
publicans recall with sarcastic
enjoyment the fact that, as soon
as Mr. Cleveland was inaugura
ted, the contractors employed as
their attorney Mr. Rissell. of juf
falo, the President's bosom friend
and old law partner, a man never
heard of in Washington lobbying
before.
