settled by the new common council,
which meets at that hour. After
electing officers the members will
enter into the adoption or rejection OF
the rules in question,
The election of officers will be a
mere form, II being conceded that all
those who served in the old council
Will be rechosen without opposition.
When the question of rules cmes up
for settlement. hwever, much activity
is promised.
The rule which WIN be the center
Of argumentative activities is that

committee from serving on any other
committee The measure has many
staunch adherents, among them being
President X. l.. Peters and Council
man John Lynch, the latter being one
of its trainers. On the other hand

that In the coming fight for govern

THE interests in an attempt to head
off the movement.
Gov Stubbs IN introducing Roose-

dreamed of Il Government that would
restrain the strong and protect the
weak. our forefathers laid the foun-
dation for such their a Government.
Their plans have proven wise, and
practical during more than one hun
bred years of trial. The most serious
problem that has arisen during our
national life, is question of power of
federal government to maintain the
union. The slave traffic preciptated
this question. and the blood OF mar
tyrs, who gave their lives for the
cause Of liberty makes the soil of this
battlefield where we now stand
sacred and the name OF Kansas i'm
mortal
I'VE are indeed fortunate 10 have
in our presence a man whose name
is known and loved by every class and
nationality of persons throughout the
world, who believes in Government by,
Of. and by the people; man whose
name is synonym for liberty, and
righteousness in private and public
life and whose power an influence for
good is greater than any King, Poten-
tate or ruler in the world"
