The Changes Will Certainly be Great Improvements. The stall-renters in the city market are delighted that at last the needed improvements and alterations of its interior are contracted for. The old stalls, of which there are three rows, will be removed by the contractor The woodwn floors at each end of the building will be removed. The parti tions at the east end will be taken down and reset to suit the new work. The cement floor will also be removed, and a new floor of concrete will be put down in its place. This floor will be drained, the water passing into gutters covered with iron grating, thence passing into the sewers. These drains will have sidewalk traps. A special drain will carry into the sewer the drainage from the fish stalls. The center row of stalls will be re moved and the stalls on the1 side ex tended so they will have a depth-of twelve feet each, and a length of 14 feet. The stall fronts will be orna mental. The lower part under the counters will be of wire. The counters will be two feet wide, and iron stan dards will support them, these stan dards to be of gas pipe. The frame of the front of the stalls will also be of gas pipe. Woodwork will separate the stalls. The arches on the outside of the stalls will have in the center a hinged door, and on the side of this pivoted windows. This will secure ventilation and in cold weather add greatly to the cdmfort of the oc cupants of the stalls. The interior woodwork will have one coat of white shellac and two coats of hard oil finish. When the democratic state conven tion reassembled yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock the platform was reported by the committee, of which Mr. Jos. P. Caldvell was chairman, it re-affirms the doctrines of the Chicago platform of 1603; holds that it is the duty of the government to take immediate steps to restore the equal privileges of silver with gold by free and unlimited coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1; urges the abolition of the tax of ten per cent, upon the issues of state banks; urges the immediate enactment of an. iucome tax; emphatically approves the tariff doctrine enunciated by the Chi cago platform; advocates as a matter of state policy such regulation and restriction of the issues of the banks chartered by North Carolina as will secure a sound currency favors the abolition of the internal taxes on spirits and tobacco as soon as practicable, and if this cannot be done urges that the harsh and un just features of the law for its collec tion be modified. The following is the plank relative to the administration: "We admire the courage and lofty patriotism of the president, and we most heartily commend his prompt and effective action under the law for the suppres- sion of efforts of alien anarchists to disburb, by force and violence, the true relations of labor and capital; his sturdy efforts to secure the enactment of tariff reform as called for in the party platform; his prompt ap proval of the bill repealing the federal election law; the notablu reduction of the expenses of government under his administration, and the freedom from scandal which has been such a marked feature of his return to the head of affairs." The convention made short work of the much talked of question of sena- tonal primaries. A resolution was offered. A motion to lay ion the table was voted on by counties and resulted ayes 694, noes 218. The convention thanked Hon. F. M. Simmons, the retiring chairman of the state committee, for his work.
