HON. ELIJAH B. LEWIS

brief but patriotic address upon taking
the chair eliciting much applause.
The roll call of counties showed more
than a quorum present.
Chairman Collum then appointed a
committee upon platform, consisting
of Messrs. w. M. Anderson of Pu-
lask, Paris of Crawford, Ray of LSum-
ter, McCrory of Twiggs and Hodge, of
Houston. Following is the platform
submitted and adopted unanimously
by the convention.
We, the representatives of the Demo
cratic party Of the Third congressional
district of Georgia, in convention as
sembled, do hereby reaffirm our adher-
ence to those principles of liberty, JUS
tice and right which have ever animat-
ed the Democratic party, and which
have been more fully enunciated in the
platform adopted by our recent State
convention, and by the Democratic
National Convention held last week in
Kansas City, which has our heartiest
approval and endorsement.
We hereby express our qualification
at the action of the Kansas City con-
yention in unanimously nominating
that tribune of the people, Hon. w. j.
Bryan for President, and in the Sc
lection of Hon. Adlai E. Steyenson for
second place on our national ticket, and
confidently predict their election by
the people in November.
We demand the repeal OF the OBJ
noxious stamp taxes imposed by the
War Revenue Act, unjustly retained
by the Republican administration long
after the necessity which called them
into existence has passed away; and
we most heartily approve the diligent
efforts of our immediate representative
in Congress, Hon. e. b Lewis, to Sc
cure their removal.
We favor the repeal of the ten per
cent. tax on the circulation of State
banks of issue, feeling that the same
will aid in bringing prosperity to our
people, and take from national banks
the entire control of our currency.
We congratulate the Third congress
sional district of Georgia upon the as
surance of again being represented In
congress of the United States by that
sterling democrat, able statesman, and
| faithful friend of the people, the Hon.
e. b. Lewis, who has ever been true
to his party, his country and his dis
trict. We feel i&st pride in his most
excellent record IN congress, which we
most heartily endorse and approve. In
him we have representative who will
ever securely guard our rights and eff
fciently promote our interests.
The wise, patriotic and Democratic
administration of our chief executive,
Governor Allen ID. Gambler, and each
of our State House officers also, has
our cordial commentator, and we con.
graduate the State of Georgia upon

demands, but it is noble privilege Of
every democrat to serve his party's call
The democratic party is not a new
one, or is it one of experiment, but one
ripe with age and experience of more
than a century. Our fathers and grand
fathers and many of their ancestors
have supported its principles, during
which time the party has had it's Victo
ries and it's defeats. We have seen th'
virtue Of our party and thereby learned
to love and cherish it. We know tina
it is the party of the people, and at thu
very moment / fully believe that |
great majority of the American peopl
confide in and believe that we can Sc

Europaon wheat country. Then what
has Mckinley done for the southern
cotton grower and the western wheat
grower? The answer is nothing.
Did Mckinley give us this great for
eign trade for our manufactured cotton
goods and other manufactured goods !?
Certainly not, but it cornes from the
enterprise of our manufacturers who
are more progressive ana are now fight
ing the way meeting all foreign compe-
tition and finding market for our
goods in all parts of the civilized world.
This great foreign trade or export
trade indicates that the time for pro-
tective tariff has long since passed, and
that instead of our manufacturers need
ing protection here they are able to at
tract trade from every foreign nation.
The only effect protective tariff can
have is to foster combinations, ill the
pockets of the manufacturer at the ex-
pense of the CONSUMER in the United
States or at home Therefore, say that
instead of Mckinley and the republi-
can party giving prosperity to the
country they have followed IN the wave
of prosperity. There can be only one
class that the republican party has
given prosperity to, and that is the
trusts which they fully protect. They
protect the trusts against all foreigners
but turn him loose with certificate
of complete power TO Jump on every
American consumer, to crush him and
bleed him to death that they may sat

The cases of the water works COM
pany against the city in The federal

at the request of the attorneys for the

tale. The tale might be called why
Smith Didn't Leave Home
The cases had been set for hearing
before Judge Hook yesterday afternoon
and today, but when they were called
Colonel w. H. Rossington stated that
his partner, Charles Blood Smith, had
been looking after the cases, and it
without him. Mr.. Smith, Colonel Ros-
sington explained, was detained at
home by the prevailing epidemic, -
which had apparently broken out in
his family. One of Mr.. Smiths daugh-
ters, who had been attending Bethany
had broken out and DR.. Mum, who
had been summoned, pronounced the
trouble a mild case of chicken pOx.
Colonel Rossington stated that DR..
Mum was not certain about it yet,
but while the disease was developing he
had requested the members of the fam
lily to stay at home, and it was by no
means certain when Mr.. Smith would
be at liberty again.
Upon this representation Judge Hook
continued the water works cases in
definitely.
The Smith home at 1927 Topeka avenue
had not been quarantined at noon to-
day, and Sergeant Patterson stated
that no case of either smallpox or
chickenpox had been reported from
there.
Dr. Mum stated this afternoon that
the trouble had developed into simply
vaccination rash" The daughter who
is sick attended Bethany and occupied
a seat near Miss Mabel Bragunier who
was taken sick with disease. When it
became known that Miss Bragunier had
the smallpox Mr.. Smith took his daugh-
tiers from Bethany and had them vac
cinated. DIR. Mum states that the vac
cination is the cause of the rash, and
that it is harmless

MERE MAT TER OF FORM
Senator Allison Says a Finan-
cial Bill Doesn't Change
Anything.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Soon after the
senate convened today a bill appropri-
ating $4,000 for the enlargement of the
public building at Portland, Ore, was
passed.
The financial bill was then laid be-
fore the senate and Mr.. Allison, Iowa,
the ranking Republican member of the
finance committee, addressed the SEN
ate on the measure. He was accorded
unusual attention, as it was fully re-
allied that he represented the attitude
of the Republican side of the chamber.
Mr. Allison said he did not propose
to enter upon q discussion of the finan-
cial questions that had been more or
less considered during the past % years.
By the pending measure, it was pro-
posed to deal with the currency ques-
ton in 3. large and general way.
Mr.. Allison referred TO the senate sub
stitute for the house bill and said there
was no proposition to change the ex-
listing currency-gold and silver certifi-
Gates, greenbacks, treasury notes and
national bank notes.
Mr. Allison said that from 1892 to 1873,
this country had a double standard of
value. He said that since the enact
ment of the law of 1873 there had not
passed current a single dollar of any
kind of United States money that was
not on absolute parity with the gold
dollar. The passage Of this bill would
practically re-enact the provision of
the law of 1873.
Mr.. Jones (Nevada) followed Mr.. ALI
son in an argument against the bill.

Louisville. Feb. 13-An act creating
and appointing a commission for the
purpose of experimenting and bringing
to justice the murderers of William
Goebel,and appropriating 100000 there
for has been introduced in the legisla-
ture and passed.
The commission is to be composed of
Joseph H. Lewis, John K. Hendrick

ers are to give a bond of $4,000 each
and are to be reimbursed only for such
amounts as they actually expend in
their efforts, this to come out of the ap-
preparation. 1t is not believed their ex-
pense will be more than nominal and
the bulk of the money will go to the
detectives and the person discovering
the assassins and for the services of the
lawyers who prosecute.
Private. persons s. have offered rewards
