The young men Of the south, In any

yesterday morning, looking bright and
fresh. Some OF them walked about the
city before breakfast TO enjoy their favor
able impressions Of Memphis. Very few
OF them were ever here before and the
metropolitan proportions and ways Of the
place proved quite revelation TO them.
After breakfast number OF them were
escorted by Mr.. John s. Toof, Mai. Bar
ney Hughes and others TO the Cotton and
Merchants exchanges, and many intro.
auctions took place there and on The
streets. After that they were escorted TO
the mammoth establishment OF the Oliver
Finnie Grocer company and shown
through II from top 10 bottom. This, per.
haps. was the greatest surprise after all.
Mr.. Oliver, Mr.. Finnio and Mr.. Jet and
others showed them through the nine story
house, the largest, by the way, in the
United States. They were nj once sur.
prised and delighted. After this the party
took omnibuses and were accompanied by
several Memphis gentlemen, including
Messrs. Sullivan and Ellis, 10 the Kansas
City depot, and thence by car across the
river Before leaving the depot Mr.. J.
Rice Smith proposed three cheers for Mem
phis, which were given with a unanimous
and hearty good will. Here the good
byes aud God bless YOU" were repeated,
tho Memphians going no further, and the
happy Georgians proceeded on their way.

sion on Wednesday night viii be a
grand affair. Preparations sre being
made to have everything conducted ia
an orderly aud peaceable manner. Some
threats havo b.eu made by certain D.
mocrals of an Intention to interfere with
the celebration, but the democratic lea
ders will see that it is not done. Some
evil minGvd persons started the report
that it was the intention to burn MI
and Mrs, Cleveland IN effgy. Oi course
such thing was never contemplated.
nor would it be permitted to be done by
the .managers. Mr. Cleveland is the
chief magistrate Of the nation and NJ
one respects his exalted station more
than the colored people, and it is in
crediable to think that any one could
be so unmanly as to connect lady,
especially the Presidents wife, in any
rude manner with politics, The Repub-
licans have won a great victory and it is
proper that they should celebrate the
event 10 proper manner. Let all the
friends Of protection TO American labor
join in the grand demonstration on
Wednesday night.
