CINCINNATI. July 4.-The streets are
alive with strangers this afternoon. At
8 O'Clock the gates of the Exposition
were thrown open. At II O'Clock the
formal opening EXERCISES began at Music
Hall. The stage was filed with many
of the May Festival chorus and Cincin-
natl orchestras. The entrane of Govern
or Foraker, Governor Thayer, Of Nebras-
ka, Governor Gray, of Indiana, Govern
or Beaver, of Pennsylv ania, with their
brilliant staffs, Hon. John Sherman and
Hon. Ben. Buterworth was signalized by
hearty applause. An eloquent prayer was
offered by Rev. Geo. B. Thayer. Governor
Foraker made the address of welcome.
He began by naming the Governors and
others who were present upon the plat
form. When he named the last on the
list, that illustrious son Of Ohio, Senator
Sherman, there was tempest of ap-
plause which bid fair to interrupt the
proceedings. Governor Foraker made
the point that this Exposition was Ma
tional in its character and intended to be
illustrative and commemorate We of the
progress OF Ohio and the Central States
in the past century. It was but few
minutes of IL O'Clock when President
Allison announced that they would
wait for the signal from Mrs. Polk to
start the machinery. Suddenly q gong
in the hall sounded. There was a ripple
of applause, and Governor Foraker ex-
planned to the audience that the gong
had been sounded by electricity touched
by Mrs. Polk at her home in Nashville.
Then little Mary Allison, the TO-
year-old daughter of President ALI
son, stepped to the side of the stage
and pressing an electric button gave
twelve signals of the gong, and put in
motion the ponderous machinery Of the
Exposition. President Allison then
formally declared the Exposition open.
After this brief speeches were made by
the gentlemen named Governors Thayer,
Gray and Beaver. Lieutenant Governor
Bryan, Hon. Benjamin Butterworth and
Hon. John Sherman, and the ceremonies
we're ended. The great parade started
promptly at 2 80 and moved without de-
lay over emile route. 1t required two
hours to pass given point, and was wit
messed throughout by delighted crowd.

AMERICAN PARTY.
Its Monopoly ON the Declaration
of Indepen dence.

SAN Francisco, July, 4.-The State
Convention of the American party, to
nominate delegates to the National Con-
vention, assembled this afternoon. L.
A. Garnett, as President of the State
Central Committee, called it to order
and made brief speech, congratulating
the Convention at meeting on "the an
niversary of the declaration of those i'm
perishable principles of American
freedom and liberty, consecrated
by the blood and suffering of our fore
fathers, and which it is to be your proud
mission in the future to defend and to
rescue from the alienized degeneracy of
the political parties who have outlived
their usefulness and who degrade and
humiliate our nationality by disgraceful
subserviency to alien influence.
About one hundred delegates, repre-
senting nearly all the counties in the
State, responded to their names. Tenn
porary organization was effected by the
election of L. A. Garnett as Chairman,
and John r. Robinson ond G. L. lids
dale as Secretaries.
B. Marks, of Fresno, a member of the
State Central Committee, asked that
members of the State Central Committee
who did not belong to any organized
club, be admitted as delegates-at-
large. The suggestion did not, how
ever, meet with the favor of
the Convention, but the matter
was settled by the chairman stating he
would secure proxies from country dele
gates who would be unable to attend,
and give them to all the members of the
similar position as Marks.
