mated, Eighteenth street and Seventh
alley, no trace of fire could be dis
covered.
Several parties were out at Schu-
lers this afternoon looking at the To-
cation for the 300 coke ovens, so as
to make bids on the work, the COM

conditions that made in the end justifi-
the county in the hands of the virtuous

baleful effects made necessary by the
condition, rallied for one master effort
and then declared never again to permit
the existence of such influences as had
prevailed heretofore
The campaign committee at its initial
meeting held today at the court house
adopted the following resolution without
dissenting vote:
Whereas, The adoption OF a new funda-
mental law through the fundamentally
and earnest advocacy of the democratic
party has brought about changed condi-
tions and no longer there turks beneath
the feet of this people a powder mine,
liable to explode at any moment and
destroy the peace and harmony induced
by the existence of white supremacy;
and
Whereas, With the new order of things
has come a responsibility upon the domi-
nant political party to secure honest and
fair elections. the chief end of the new
constitution; and
Whereas, Recognizing this, the demo-
cratic nominee for congress in this dis
trict has, with commendable candor,
asked that the best guarantee of a fair
and honest election be given in the APP
pointment of at least one inspector rep
resentative of the opposing political
party therefore, be it
Resolved, by the democratic campaign
committee of Dallas county, That the
board Of election supervisors of Dallas
county are respectfully requested to ap-
point one inspector for each polling place

lost in spite of the fact that it appears
to have a majority of the taxpayers in
favor of it,
Personally the councilmen all express
themselves as friendly to the PROPOSE
ton to pave East Eighth. 1t is adj
mitted that a pavement TO the cemetery
grounds would be of great benefit to the

minds of the cOuncilmen are whether
the majority of people on East Eighth
want the pavement, whether it can be
laid without a lawsuit. and whether the
squabble will cast a shadow on the va
Iidity of the bonds
The opponents of the Original petit
ton say that the people on East

large majority in favor of pavement.

humble place. and yet If prophecies OF
the evangelist hold true it may be the
scene of the greatest revival services or
the world.
