Express Co.
Elji0lned

In federal court this afternoon
Judge Nathan COT is hearing a mo-
ton of the Crescent Liquor Com
pany, of this city, for the granting
of an injunction against Thomas
G. Platt, president, and the United
States Express Company, restrain
ing them from refusing to deliver
packages of Intoxicating liquors.
The petitioner alleges that the
express company will not accept
collect on delivery packages for de-
livery to any point from them but
that the said express company does
carry these packages of intoxicating
liquors to points in the state from
points outside of the state and that
such discrimination and refusal of
the express company to deliver
goods for them injuries their bust
ness.
The case of the Government

in order that Judge Golf might hear
several matters.

tinued his testimony in the case at
the morning session and told how
he captured the prisoner, found the
molds from which it is alleged he
made counterfeit money and passed
it at several points in this State
and also concerning the confession
he said Hanger made to him. The
prosecution had finished its presen-
tation of evidence at the close of the
morning session of the court and
the defense was ready to take up its

tinuance was made.

if the people Of this and the otder

the convention to vote the county
Democratic ticket. He hoped it
would be the pleasure of the con-
vention to nominate men the peo-
pie would vote for. He then de-
nouneed the state administration as
extravagant. he based this on the
fact that it takes more money to
run the Office of attorney general
now than fourteen years ago, when
he was attorney general, and then
he discussed appropriations. He
did not know whether the raising OF
the railroad from $30,000,000
to SIG, 100000 was fair or
not; but left it TO the
courts, to say. He promised to
serve them well, if elected to con-
gress. He gave the credit for the

luton. a two-cent passenger fare
was favored. A railroad commits
sion for the state was favored.
They denounced the new tax laws
and lower and equal taxation. They
saw thew favor the election of Unit
ed States senator's by a vote OF the
people. Various other denuncia-
lions were INDUCED in. They en-
dorsed the Democratic COMPRESSION

laration against fusion with any
other political party.
In discussing the resolutions Ed
mund Southern asked that the Two
cent fare plank should not apply TO
short lines of railroads and strongly
advocated a modification of that
plank in the platform. He plead
with them not to put that clause

haul freight.
