was entertaining some OF his friends this
morning on the present political situation,
and offering suggestions on democratic cam
paign activity that appears to be on the
right line. The captain, being Joined in the
sentiment by his listeners, thought that II
the career OF Weaver in congress was shown
up clearly to the people, and the real and
undisguised meaning OF the force bill
set forth, the number OF our white
peapls that would abandon the cause OF
democracy would be few. His idea is to
have Weaver's utterRnces, In which he
attacked the south, and afterward stating
he had no apology to make, and full copy
of the force bill printed in large lots and
distributed among the people, and by this
non-partisan method show how the stand

movement feels toward the southern peo-

this plan be adopted good many that have
been led off into the new party by aspiring
and ambitious men would desert
it as quickly as they have
taken up with it. Tbs democrats are
doing effective WORK in this locality, but
the ambition of the office-hunter is hard to

The Committee VIII Meet and the Contract
for the Work VIII BE Awarded.

m. Howitzer monument committee VIII
meet today or on Monday and award the
contract for a monument. which Will %
n fitting memorial Of the brave deeds Of this
celebrated battery. The movement IN con-
nection with this matter has been the
promptest and most succe ssiul ever undeT-
taken in this city. The old plan OF having a
great deal of talk, securing q design and then
trusting the scheme TO the ll5eraiity OF the
public was entirely reversed IN this case.
The Howitzer Association lrst decided -
have a monument. They then went to work
to secure the funds, and having done so they
will now adopt a design. give out the contract
at once and let the talk come afterwards.
Al the annual meeting OF the Association.
December Is. 1891, "A committee composed OF
Nessrs. j. b. Moore. James l. Gray. John :.

previously appointed, reported that they haa
a satisfactory design. and t1at they cOuld Cd
tain from the city a suitable ana desiraole
site. together with n reasonable Appropriation
for the pedestal: that the whole design could
be executed at once If the Association and
their friends would raise IN cash the sum OF
$500.
The committee also reported IN the treas
urer's hands about three hundred dollars. anu
nine hundred dollars pledg sd on a former
occasion. but the pledges were lost. and that
the only means of recovery Ia IN the wiling
ness of the subscribers to renew their pledges.
The committee earnestly re luested that the
whole amount be pledged at once so that the
work might begin and, be co mpleted, or else,
if the Association saw tit. tina the committee
be discharged and the funds ilready collected
returned 10 the donors.
The members Of the Associ alton and Of the
present Howitzer company immediately re-
sponded with "a contribution of two thousand
dollars, and. the Association, by "A unanimous
vote. instructed the committe t. build the
monument. ,
The committee went actively to Work and
the monument is an assured fact. The COun-
Gil Will adopt the reports of the Finance,
