RUN NUMBER ONE
Tomorrow's Route for the Christian
Endeavor Wheelmen.
An INTERESTING RIDE
Through Soldiers Home Grounds
and on to Fort Stevens.


The first of the bicycle runs Of the Chris
tian Endeavor convention will start off to-
morrow morning at g o'clock sharp, from
in front of the White House. The members
are expected to rendezvous at the place f1f
teen minutes before the hour Of starting, so
that the line can be properly formed and
the trip made pleasant for all those who
participate
The line will go up Madison place. past
the Lafayette Opera House and by the
Arlington Hotel. strike out Vermont avenue
to 14th street. past the Portland fats and
around Thomas Circle, and thence out 18th
street to Whitney avenue. passing the Chi
nese legation and the pretty suburban resi-
dences in Mt. Pleasanl. After a short rest
the line will go out Whitney avenue and
cut across to 7th street. The riders will
then pass in the main gate Of the Soldiers
Home. ride past the main building, around
by the lake. taking in four of the seven
miles Of beautiful roadways within the
grounds. The line will come out the south
Hardwood road near the intersection Of
Lincoln road and the Bunker Hill road.
The cyclists will ride up and inspect the
buildings Of the Catholic University and
spend few minutes at that place.
AS time for the trip is brief, but very lit
tie delay will be made on the route for ex-
tended sightseeing. The procession will
continue up the Harewood road to the Rock
Creek Church road. thence in a northwest
eriy direction for a short distance to the
Blair road. This road will be used for about
quarter of a mile. or until the Shepherd
road is reached. and then a branch off will
be made on the latter road. This road is a
little over two miles long. and connects the
Blair road with the 7th street road, ending
at the latter highway, just opposite Bright
wood: After entering the 7th street pike
the riders Will go up as far as Fort Stevens.
where a stop will be made for inspection.
The return trip will be made down the
18th street road to Whitney avenue The
return to the city will be by substantially
the same route as the outgoing trip, al
though 1t is most likely that many of the
riders will take In a roundabout trip over
the smooth streets.
The Condition of the Roads.
The condition of the road all along is ex-
cellent. As far out as Whitney avenue the
ride will be entirely over concrete, with
the steep 14th street hill to climb, fully
testing the riding ability of the Endeavor-
ers on the run. Whitney avenue is a short
street running from Mt. Pleasant to the

mOnd Celebration.
At the session last night OF Charles p.
Stone Post, No. II. Department of the Po-
tomac, at Costello's Hall. resolutions were
adopted containing the following:
I'VE second the loyal and patriotic senti-
ments Of our sister posts. by resolutions
passed In council. condemning and deplor-
ing the want Of loyalty and patriotism on
the part Of q portion Of the citizens of this
city, who recently assembled in the city Of
Richmond, In the state Of Virginia, to do
honor to the memory Of Jefferson Davis,
late president of the so-called southern
laying the corner stone OF a monument to
be erected to the memory Of this traitor
to his country and flag. which he had many
times sworn to defend and support.
I'VE regret and deplore that we have
Grand Army comrades who SO far forget
the sense Of propriety as by their presence
on that occasion, give their acQuiescence
to the honoring of the chief OF rebels, and
are at loss to see how such men can for
get their loyalty to their country and flag
and the obligations they have taken to
frown down treason and disloyalty. The
only excuse to be offered in extenuatioa Of
such conduct by our comrades is a desire
to be flattered, no matter by whom With
this class Of comrades We have no SYM
pathy or respect.
I'VE regret that the public schools of this
city. which should be models of learning
and propriety. second to none in the land,
are wanting in teaching and fostering a
spirit Of loyalty to the country and its flag
among the youth Of this nation and city.
and we hope at no distant day to see a
change for the better in this direction, even
should change mean a sitting out Of the
disloyal element. which appear to predom-
mate. and substituting therefor, for the
education and patriotic guidance Of our
youth. faculty Of loyal teachers and su-
perintendents who can be trusted with

AUTHORS OF THE PLATFORM.
Who Wrote the Various Planks at
Chicago.

Sh1C08Os
The platform Of the democratic conven-
ton, which was telegraphed from Chicago
Tuesday night exclusively by the Asso-
ciated Press. has no such crowd Of rival
claimants to its authorship as surrounded
the making of the platform at st. Louis.
which was really the main issue at the re-
publican convention. One man may be, to
all practical purposes. credited with the
authorship Of the democratic platform.
This honor belongs to Col. Charles H.
Jones, publisher of the St. Louis Post Dis
patch Col. Jones wrote the first draft Of
the declaration OF principles. The Gocu-
ment was arranged and worded by him
after consultation with Senators cockrel;
and Vest and other democratic leaders,
and his draft was adopted by the commit
tee on resolutions after three minor planks
had been added and some changes made in
the wording. which did not affect the prin-
ciples or spirit Of Col. Jones' work. The
most vital plank Of the democratic declara-
ton. that of dealing with the financial
detail the articles Of faith held by the sill
yer leaders. was almost entirely the pro-
duct of the ST. Louis publishers pom.
He also crystallized into verbal form the
other points OF the party creed, foremost
among them the tariff and income tax
plank. and those OIL less Importance. planks
relating to federal interference in state
affairs. the denunciation Of republican Con-
crosses. the civil service plank and the
declaration against third terms for Presi-
dents
The plank against the Pacific railroad
funding bill was first suggested by the
state democratic convention of California,
which instructed the state delegates to pro-
pose such a plank to the convention. Ex-
Congressman Caminetti and Congressman
Mcguire of California made a canvass Of
the committee on resolutions in behalf Of
the proposition. and Senator White, who
was a member Of the committee. succeed
ed in prevailing upon it to pledge the party
to the policy of opposition to the funding
plan.
Senator Vest Of Missouri drew the plank
on pensions. The expression of sympathy
with the Cuban rcvolutionists in the plat
form was first brought forward in the form
OF plank written by Mr.. James Creelman,
the newspaper correspondent. but Con-
gressmap Sulzer of New York modified the
statement to meet the views of the leaders
So far as the much-discussed suggestion
of platform Of one plank declaring vfor
free coinage at 16 to 1 goes. 1t was never
seriously entertained by the committee on
