Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 2.-The programme
for the opening ceremonies of the interna-
tional cotton exposition are just out There

A large part of Talmage's sermon yester-
day was upon Mprmonism.. He said: '1t
needed a father and husband like Garfield
to understand the value of Christian home
and to annihiiate the abomination of Nor
monism. Perhaps the time has not yet
come; perhaps ID was necessary that ma
tion's indignation. should be aroused to a
greater pitch of anger against Mormonism
before the extirpation would be attempted
will not say that Giiteau was Mormon,
nor would dare to say he was mott; bnt
Guiteau says he shot Gafeld in the name
of the Lord. If he was not Mormon, he
was one of the Oneida community, whose
chief doctrine was the right to profusion
of wives. He had the spirit of Mormon
licentiousness. of Mormon cruelty and
Mormon murder. I should not wonder if
in the great day when all such things are
revealed, it shall be found that he was the
paid agent of that old hog which sits making
mouths at high heaven between the Rocky
mountains and Sierra Nevatlas."
New York, Oci. 4.-Collector Robertson
stated to reporter that he was not at all
uneasy about the result Of the coming con.
vention Our people. he remarked, have
elected clear majority of the delegates,
and cannot for moment share in the ap-
prehension that there win be q resort to any
sharp practice that would defeat the will of
the people SO: clearly expressed, much less
to GUST such number of members as would
place the control Of the convention in the
hands of men whom the people have declared
they are unwilling to trust. Such result
would be a downright farce and would be
met by the righteous indignation of the re-
publican party throughout the state. The
| collector said that we are not fighting the
president or his administration. We are
fighting the machine in. this state.

The Times Prints an interview with Col.
Bliss regarding the prosecution of the stal
route cases, The work he says is being
pushed steadily along. It is an enormous
| and apparently an endless job. The genera
public has no conception of the amount Of
labor that has to be performed. The Cult.
| eau case and one or two others will prevent
| the trial of Brady before November. rBradys
| counsel will probably delay the case unit
| the meeting of congress in December Then
reason for wanting to delay until that time
is because they believe that they have friends
in congress that may aid them. s.,iT;.4ss. e.
