MIR. GARREITSON'S BOND.
The instrument Received by Mayor
llcCuIIOch.

The 50, 500 bond of Contractor
Garrettson was received by Mayor
McCnlloch this morning. 1t is
dated at st. Louis sand is signed by
VIM. II. Garrettson as principal
and II. M. Noel as surity.
The bond cites the fact that Con-
tractor Garrettson constructed gar
bage furnace in Waco for Sc. 500,
and as Sonnetield & Emmons as.
sert a royalty claim of 1900,
Garrettson holds the city harmless
against all suits and reimbuIses for
all damages recovered for such
claims at the hands of Sonne6eld &
Emmons, or at the hands of other
parties, then the instrument is void;
otherwise in force.
The bond will be submitted at
the meeting of the city council to-
morrow night and the matter of its
approval will be decided apon.
Alderman Lacy, speaking of the
bond, said: 81 am afraid we will
nave trouble yet about this matter.
l think it would have been the
wiser plan to have withheld the
$1,000. l think the bond furnished
by Garrettson should be signed by
some citizens or taxpayers Of Waco
whom We all know, before it is op.
posed.
con the other hand it's held that
the royalty claim of Sonne6eld e.
Hmmons is 80 absurd and ridiculous
that there is no danger of the city
having to pay the amount, bond or
no bond"

81 am informed that the writer
of that letter occupies room in the

such outrageous actions as he
describes habitually occur in that

swearing and boisterous language

prove it, for persons are fipod there
frequently for such offsnses. That
there is gambling in the city cannot
be denied, for in the mayors court
and in the justice and county courts
fines are continually being assessed
against those who indulge in it.
That saloons are kept open on Sun

to pay fine for such an infraction

The Democratic party of Arkan-
sas in convention assembled hereby
re-aflirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles of
the national Democratic party as
expressed IN it's platforms and rati-
fed in its legislation throughout
the history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol-
lowing specific declarations:
We insist upon a strict compli-
ance with the repeated declara-
lions of the party in favor of a tar
if for revenue only, to the end that
the protection favored by the Re
publican party and crystalized in
the infamous determinations of the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulled and
a fair competition in the markets
of the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni
ted States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed
To the end that taxation may be
distributed on an equitable basis
and accumulated property pay its
fair share of the expenses of the
government, which have for so long
a time been borne by the consump-
tion of the people We favor an
income tax.
We still consider the act of 1873,
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage Of both silver
and gold at a ratio of sixteen to
one as it then existed.
We believe the constitutional
power to borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event of great emergencies when
the power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments Of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
of the people. Therefore we are
opposed TO the issue of bonds in
llluV vi ptdNN'
We congratulate the Democratic
party and the people upon the re-
peal Of the odious Federal election
law.
We favor the continued maintain
ance Of our free public schools in
the interest Of general intelligence
and public information.
Believing that home rule and To-

principles in a Republican govern.
