picked up the bottle on April 8, 1887,

INCREASING ITS FACILITIES.
The United States Express CompanyAs-
su6aes Control of the Business OF other
Companies.

The United States Express CompanyAs-
sufaes Control of the Business OF other
Companies.
Mostly in consideration OF the ex-
acting demands of the water trans
portation business owned and direct
ed by Hon. John III. Starin, that gen.
tieman, a principal stakeholder in
the international Express Company
with his associate stooS holders, have
concluded an arrangement with the
UNITED STATES EXPRESS Co., Hon.
Thomas G. Plat, President, BY
which this company comes into pos
session of the control and good will
of this organization. The terms Of
transfer are regarded as liberal and
satisfactory and advantageous to all
concerned.
This transaction is only another
evidence of the energy and enterprise
of the management of the United
States Express Company. Within
brief time this company absorbed the
business of the Baltimore and Ohio
Express Co. and still later gained
control of the Express carriage OF
the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
And now comes occasion TO note
another addition to the already-ex-
tensive operations of this Company
as referred to above. The lnterna-
tional Express Company has been in
existence some five years. 1t has OF
fees in a number Of localities and is
doing prosperous business in New
York, Philadelphia and at many
points in the Eastern States.
The new arrangement will likely
give increased satisfaction all around,
the best of the employees of the
merged concerns being retained while
office expenses can be reduced. The
highest degree of efficiency will be
maintained in every department of
the enlarged operations of the Unit
ed States Express Company, one of
the best organized of its kind in the
land

DIV week, but no Republican will

row week, but no Republican will
follow.
To ciinch the veracity ofthe affair,
Senator Colquitt was asked as to its
truth to-day. The first few moments
of response he devoted to wrath be-
cause the thing leaked out.
We don't want this thing in the
papers. 1t oughnt to go in the pa
pers,n he stormed.
But is it true you refused to in
vite Mr.. Mckinley 2"
"Yes, it is true. We don't want
any Republicans down there. Geor-
gia is Democratic, and we don't want
any Republican to come down talking
protection to muddle up things"
The mere thought of a Republican
speech in Georgia aroused Mr.. Col
quits anger to such degree that
though he is minister of the Meth
odist Church, he used several words
which had been better left unsaid.
Mr. Stewart was also asked. He
echoed Mr.. Colquitt's marvellous
sentiment. He is not minister of
any church, and also let himself out.
But the gist of the matter is, that
free-trade Democrat can be invited
to express his views before non
political assemblage in Georgia, but
no Republican shall enter if Senator
Colquitt and his friends know it.

Brilliant Speeches for the Various Cam
didates-Foraker Sets the Convention
Wld-B1aIness Name Makes Round
After Round OF App1ause-AH the
Nominations I'm and Ballosing 80 BE-
gin This Morning.
CHICAGO, June 21.-A fresh breeze from
the lake rendered the atmosphere in the au-
6itorium much more endurable this afternoon
than it was during the morning session of the
convention. The auditorium was slow in
filling and at o'clock, the hour for reassem-
bling, the galleries were characterized by
empty chairs, while the space reserved for
the delegates also presented an empty APP
pearance. Here and there clustered groups
of delegates talking over the situation and
maxi ng predictions as to the result of the
balloting, but the predictions were not ut
tered with the confidence of prophets who
have much faith in their own auguries. The
impartial manner in which the applause
was distributed at the mention of the names
Of the various candidates this morning SEEM
ed to place matters more at sea than ever
and prophecies were not regarded with much
apparent belief. The chairman carried out
his threat of calling the convention promptly
to order and at o'clock precisely the gavel
fell, but no work was done for some minutes
and the convention waited patiently as the
delegates strcIIed leisurely in and as the
empty seats in the galleries began. TO fill up
with tardy spectators. 1t was twenty min
butes before the convention came 10 working
trim and then the chairman stated that at
the time the recess was taken the name of
General Harrison had been presented to the
convention and he asked whether there were
any seconds. Mr. TerrilI, of Texas, was the
first to respond Mr.. Gallinger, Of New
Hampshire, also seconded the nomination of
General Harrison.
The first really striking scene, in the con-
vention so far was precipitated by the men
ton of the nane of Blaine by Mr. Gallinger
at the close Of his speech. The galleries and
many of the delegates sprang to their feel
and shouted for nearly minute. Flags were

his administration the old South will be
given an opportunity to develop her re-
sources, build up her industrial pur suits
and under such provisions as those of the
Blair bill educate her children until they
have been brought abreast in the march
of progress, IN wealth and power
of their sister States of the Unien. And
then when we are all abreast there will be no
rivalries such as have existed heretofore, but
under the blessing of coRmon prosperity
we win overcome the spirit of sectionalism
that the present copperhead administration
has revived. The South will be bound to the
North and to every other section of the
country in the bonds of prosperity, which
are ever stronger than any that can be
brought about by legislative enactments, and
will start with us on the march to q destiny
greater and grander than can be-
described. John Sherman will he

popular there is that the combination made

same old bandanna that we SO well remember
in war time when 1t meant only copperhead
free trade. Great apPlause) The day that
the old bandanna was nominated the Repub-
licans of Ohio, hoping that they foresaw the
nomination by you of John Sherman, put out
an emblem equally enthusiastically beloved
by the loyal people of this country, of every
State, and they said il should be our bandan-

set to the old bandanna Great applause and
Waving of flags, continuing several minutes
and SalIowed by an ousburst of Marching

thirteen minutes.)
Governor Foraker was followed by Prof.
Langston of Virginia, who received round
of applause as he mounted the platform. He
seconded Sherman's nomination in a speech |
that was well received.
Delegate John @. Darcy, ofNorth Carolina,
a young coal black negro was the>pext speak
er, and in well chosen language he paid
tribute to Sherman's love for and fidelity to 4
the eolored race.
Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Phila-
delphia Press, made short but foroible ar
gument favoring the nomination of Edward Il
ii. Filter, the present mayor Of Philadelphia.
The record of Mayor Filter was dwelt upon
and contrasted to his advantage with the
record of another mayor who has since be-
come President of the United States.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, then put
Governor Rusk in nomination. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Spooner's speech the roll call
was completed and there was no further re-
spouse.
