had converted nm, and he was prepared to
swear loyalty, fidelity and eternal frater-
nifty to the state Of Georgia"
Roswell P. Flower was introduced, but he
said the royal entertainment had been too
much for him, and he was too hoarse even

One of the most interesting speeches was
made by Adjt.-Gen. Porter. He confined
his remarks to the military question and
the state organization. He held that these
should be maintained ut not controlled by
the government. Until that should be
done they should be literally supported by
the states. He referred to the liberality of

do the same; she should not let her young
men bear the burden.
SUPERIORITY OF OUR soLDIERY.

that the Georgia troops are far superior to
similar organizations in the north. Gen.
Stevenson of Illinois made a very brief
speech. He said he was not so hoarse as
Mr.. Flower, as he came from a prohibition
state, and that should be taken as a reason
why Chicago was the best place for holding
the worlds fair. In speaking of Georgia
hospitality, he said he had never been be-
fore treated so well or so often.
THE wIND-UP.
Postmaster-Gen G eneral Stevenson also
made brief address After the speeches
came the usual handshaking reception. This
afternoon Gov. Hill was banqueted at the
Capitol City club, and two hours later the

citizens. The feature of the banquet was
the frequent allusion to Gov. Hill as the
right man for the democratic nomination
for the presidency.
