Democratic Platform.

We, the Democrats OF the United
States, in national convention assem-
bled, do reafnrm our allegiance to those
great essential principles Of justice and
liberty upon which our institutions are
founded and which the Democratic
party advocated from Je6erson's time
to our own, freedom Of speech, freedom
Of press, freedom of conscience, the pre-
servation of personal rights, the
equality Of all citizens before the law,
and the faithful observance Of constt-
tutional limitations.
aDuring these years the Democratic
party has resisted the tendency Of eel.
Ash interests to the Capitalization OF
governmental power and steadfastly
maintained the integrity OF the dual
scheme Of government established BY
the founders Of this republic Of repub-
lies. Upon its guidance the great prtn-
ciple Of local self government has found
it, best expression In the maintenance
Of the rights Of the States and In it,

KNIGHTS SEEK RELIGIOUS ADVICE.
Rev. j. w. Gcigcr of Marion to Preach
tn EnIInMcrs of SmmsOn.

to Followers of samson.
Rev. John Wesley Geiger of Marion, Ia,
will address IN a religious way a specially
invited audience in Boyd's theater on Sum
day. December 13, under the auspices of the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben. 1t is limited that
this religious service will be in the nature
of a counterbalance for the society circus of
next week which is to be as warm as the
hottest show that ever struck town.
A committee of the knights wrestled long
and hard last night in the parlors OF the
Commercial club over the matter 1t was
very apparent that the members were more
familiar with the mysteries of the Den than
of conducting a religious meeting la mode,
but they managed to map out the general
outline without losing a feather The details
were left to few church members of the
knights who were placed on subcommittee.
1t was determined. however. that a large
number of special invitations should be is
sued for the service and that reserved sec
tion of the house should be set aside for the
holders until a certain hour. An exception
ally fine musical program will be arranged
as a concomitant for the sermon and the
house will be decorated in an appropriate
manner. with flowers. A corps of
fifteen ushers will be in service. The
minor details have been left to a committee
on arrangements, which will meet at the
Commercial club tonight.
Rev. Geiger is a fine speaker and is also
one of the knights. He has appeared at the
Den on several occasions during the past
year and quite captivated the brotherhood.
w. r. Bennett a few days ago invited him
to preach in this city and he accepted the
invitation. In order to make him feel at
home the preachers in the city of all denom-
nations are to be invited to attend.

city Council charter Committee Holds
Another session.

announcer gcNNtnns
The city council charter committee held
a session last night in the city hall, Those
present were: Councilman Saunders Tay-
lor, Hascall Wheeler aud Allan, city At
torney Connell, Deputy City Clerk uol.
brook, Representatives elect Edison Rich,
John Butler, John steel OF the Commercial
club and Theodore Olsen
The work was taken up at section &C OF
the charter, being the section relating to
the bonded Indebtedness Of the city, but
the discussion drftcd at once on to the
single assessor plan. Wheeler insisted that
single assessor for all city property was
the only solution of the question, and that
II was useless 10 work on new charter
unless this scheme was Incorporated into It..
Hascall reiterated the plan he suggested
at the last meeting, that the matter be
made the subject of separate bill,
After half an hour OF dosultory discussion
the section relating to bonds was taken
up. After lengthy discussion It was de-
cided that the section should be amended
to provide for bonds for a city Jail and
for the issue OF refunding or renewal bonds,
the sense of the meeting being that tho
floating Indebtedness OF the city, such as
the $4,000 deficiency in the lighting fund,
100000 in the water fund, $50 600 in the
street repair fund and numerous other
shortages, should be taken up by Issuing
bonds at low rate Of interest. instead of
allowing the outstanding warrants to draw
per cent interest. The matter was re-
ferred TO the city attorney and Major
Wheeler to prepare a new section.
The repaving problem was discussed at
length, but was finally referred to a com
mttee consisting of Messrs. Hascall, Saun-
ders and Steel.
The meeting adjourned until Saturday at
2:30 D. IN.

My IhOnns hOctOr GCt III.
Last night the judges aud clerks OF the
Transmississlpni EXPOSITION election for dl-
rectors finished entering the voting on the
tally sheets. but did not make the footngs
1t was nearly midnight when the work Of en-
terng was completed and the task Of adding
up the vote for the individuals was deferred
until today. Enough is shown by the count
SO far as II has gone to make certain that
Hon George w, Lininger has been elected
as one Of the directors, and there Is possi-
bllity that Hon Thomas Hector has also
been chosen These men were voted for
very extensively Mr.. Liningcr getting many
moro votes than MIR. Hector. Two of the
candidates on the big ticket may be beaten;
one certainly WILL Just which ono will
be dropped cannot be told until the vote
Is tabulated, as the scratching was very gen
eral and several fell far behind,
1t is the intention of the directors to
proceed at once with the organization OF the
exposition directory when the count is COM
pletod. The subscriptions Now aggregate
$i05 600 without considering the subscrip-
tions which are expected from the remaining
railroads and the packing houses, and which
are estimated at Sl35,000 more. This, with
the appropriation provided for by the last
congress, puts the project on firm financial
basis, aud 1t is the general opinion that no
further time should be lcst The general
plan of action will not be determined on
is expected that the various departments will
be organized at once and increased as may
be found necessary as the work advances.
President Wattles OF the old directory is OF
the opinion that the best results will be
secured by leaving the bulk of the active
work to- an executive committee of five mem
bers He proposed that the organization be
divided into probably five departments ana
make one member of the executive com
mittee the head of each department. In
his opinion the full directory would be too
