The representatives of the Young
Mems Republican Clubs at their annual
convention at Minneapolis, stated the
position of the republican party III a
very terse and comprehensive manner
when they declared, The republican
party stands today, as ever, for positive
policies. 1t stands for a positive tariff,
for sound money, for the control and
regulation of combinations of capital that
have a legitimate purpose, and the de.
struction Of those that have an illegiti-
mate purpose. It stands for the reten-
ton of every inch Of territory. 1t stands
for the development of the marvellous
commercial possibilities of the Orient.
1t stands for the progress of the United
States and the uplifting Of mankind
throughout the world" The democra-
tic party stands for the the very oppo.
site of these declarations. The demo
cratic party has become party of do
nothingists, and it has arrayed itself
across the broad highway of American
energy and progress only to be swept
away in November by the onward march
of American manhood, push and deter
mination The democratic party would
make America coward and weakling
in the eyes of the world The republi-
can party would keep Americas star as
it is-the brightest jewel in the crown of
civilization and national greatness.

tions. The reason for the misunder-
standing was that the bidder. W. A Hol,
land, stated that the work would be paid
for by him giving his men orders upon
the council for the pay aud the council
could issue warrants for the amount and
keep back all his pay until the work was
done. All bids we're rejected aud new
ones called for to be handed In at 7:so
o'clock tonight.
The city engineer stated that he he
lieved the work of improving the street
could be done at the Death Trap near
Bostpn's mill in spite of the presence OF
the railroad tracks thereon. He said he
had done such work before and that il
was possible the tracks would not he
moved for many months When they
are removed the little gaps and holes left
IN the sidewalks and curbs could be re-
paired at small expense. This led 10 a
discussion on the railroad situation and
in response to inquiries the city engineer
stated that the railroad company was
working on plans to take the tracks of
First street and put them back Of the
property along the river bank. The
proposition is to have the council declare
a street eighty feet wide to exist there
aud then give the railroad company a
right of way down it. This will not then
be construed as the city giving up any OF
its water front. The surveys Of the rail
road company showed that the track, Ia
keep away from private property, wonld
be some little distance away from the
bank and ia places the fills would be
from Is to 80 feet high.

Meeting Tonight Tor Filling
the Old Ditch.

-
The council met last night in adjourned
session to consider bids for filling the
ditch in Fifth street and i street and to
finally fix the limits Of the district to be
assessed for the Il street improvement.
On Monday an all day session was held
to hear complaints and objections TO the
inclusion of particular pieces OF land to
be assessed. No property owners ap,
peared, so last night the next step was
taken, which was to pass resolution de-
claring that the limits originally fixed
would stand. Conncilmen Schaff and
Wilkinson were absent. Those voting III
favor were Lane, Lake, Tannahill and
Russell. ts
On the advice ofthe attorneys all votes
taken were aye aud nay votes. After the
resolution was passed to fix the limits a
resolution ordering the city engineer to
prepare plans and specifications was
passed with the same vote. The reso,u.
