The democratic state convention
which met In Dcs Mcincs last Wednesday,

natured struggle the fight being GA the
question OF reailirming the Kansas City

out by a vote of A73 to 35l. Last year
the vote on the same proposition was
SS4 against to 544 for re-allirmation.
Judge Van Wagencn's government

turned down by the decisive vote Of

CHANGES DEMANDED.

We find much in the democratic
affairs of the nation that ought to be
changed. The tariff policy, originally
adopted for the avowed purpose Of
raising revenue to meet the enormous
burdens OF the civil war, has been turn
ed to use of individual and class inter
ests until it has become the creator Of
countless unearned fortunes and the
shelter of huge combinations of capital,
organized in the form Of trusts, which
are strangling competition in many of
our industries, destroying individual
effort, crushing ambition largely in
every limo of industry and already ac-
curing power which enables them to
dictate in their own interest the prices
of labor and raw material and the cost
of transportation Of finished products.
We declare our unqualified opposition
to the principle of government by in
junction.
We renew our demand for the cleo
ton of United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
We demand economy in the admins
tration of state affairs, repeal of the
mulct law and the enactment of local
option law.
We demand the contracting for sup
plies for the state with the lowest re-
sponsible bidders.
In the interest of the much needed
Improvement of public roads, we favor

Regarding a match with Munroe, Jeffries has con cluded to be lenient with the Anaconda miner. Instead of asking Munroe to meet a number of heavyweights before he (Jeffries) will take him on, the cham pion has agreed to fight Munroe, pro- vided the latter defeats Gus Ruhlin. If Munroe does this, Jeffries declares he will give him a match Immediately before the club making the best offer. Regarding Tom Sharkey, Jeffries says that under no circumstances will he tackle the sailor. He does not believe such a combat would be a drawing card.

 The dog is a Scotch terrier and is known all over town as Si. The dog began fighting when he was pup and has kept it up ever since. He refused to go with his mistress when she changed her boarding place, because the new place was not so well adapted to canine nixups.

 Age and long campaigning in the ring do not seem to dull the prowess of Starlight, the noted middleweight of Australia. Starlight, who is negro, and who confesses to 50 years, al- though the impression is that he is older, met J.

Starlight beat Higgins, who was at least twenty years his junior, so badly that the latter's seconds threw up the sponge to save him from further punishment. Starlight has met all the noted Australian champions, including Bob Fitzsimmons. Peter Jackson, Joe Goddard and Jim Hall.

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec 21.-Terry Me- Govern gave Betty Willis, the local boy, a beating at the National Athletic club Saturday night. Willis remained on his feet during the six rounds, and this is about the only credit due him.
 At the opening Willis showed signs of being afraid of McGovern, and all through the fight he backed into the ropes or into a corner. McGovern kept after him all the time, punishing him severely about the body. Twice Willis was knocked down.
 Once or twice during the fight Will. lis, much to the delight of his friends present, showed tendency to fight back. Two or three times he landed and shook the Brooklyn wonder up considerably.

Arrangements have already been completed whereby the wrestlers of Harvard and Yale will hold competition either at Cambridge or at New Haven. The events will be divided into four classes, light, heavy, middle and welterweight. Princeton will also be invited to send wrestling representatives and with Columbia or Pennsylvania will be asked to make the fourth team.
