SUMMONED TO THE SOUTH.
Invite the President
Elect to Visit Atlanta---Sabin is
Headed for Fl jacksonville.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 31.-Another del
egation visited the president-elect to-
day, but their errand was not political.
The delegation comprised ex-Gov. Bull
lock, J. G. Oglesby, r. D. Spaulding, T.
B. Payne, j. j. Spaulding, S. f. Wood
son and Stephen r. johnson, of the
Cincinnati Southern railway. Six of
these gentlemen are members of the
Atlanta chamber of commerce, and all
are Democrats save eX-Gov. Bullock.
Shortly after dinner they drove out to
Gen. Harrison's and extended him
cordial invitation in the. name of the
people of Georgia and Atlanta to visit
that historic city some time this coming
October, when the tweDty-fifth ami
versary of the bumbardment and burn
ing of the city will be celebrated on
grand scale. Gov. Bullock was the
spokesman for the party, and told the
president-elect that masmuch as he
participated in the battles around At
ianta the people of Georgia were very
anxious that he should come down
among them to see the wonderful i'm
prevements that have been made since
he was there in 1864. The committee
brought with them and delivered to
Gen. Harrison letters of invitation from
Gov. Gordon and from Mayor John p.
Glenn, of Atlanta. They also stated
that Gen. Sherman would most proba-
bly, be present, also Gen. NOyes, of
Ohio, who lost his leg before Atlanta,
and score or more other prominent eX-
Union officers who participated in the
famous campaigns around Atlanta and
to the sea. Gen. Harrison gave his Wis
itors very cordial welcome and
evinced lively interest in the proposed
quarter centenary celebration. He said
that while he should be
GLAD TO MAKE THE TRIP
and revisit old scenes under such pleas
ant auspices, the date was too far ahead
for him to give them positive answer,
but that when the time approached so
that he could make definite arrange
ments, their courteous invitation would
be favorably considered. The commit
tee travel by special car, and left for
home this evening highly pleased with
their visit. and feeling encouraged that
Gen. Harrison would he their guest at
the proposed celebration. When asked
how the cabinet boom for Col. A. E.
Buck was flourishing in Georgia, Gov.
Bullock said: eve never heard of it
down there. Col. Buck was interviewed
by the papers when he returned home
from this city, and that is all know of
1t. He said nothing to lead one to sup
pose he had received a call.'' Other
visitors were John +. Scanlan, of Chi
cago, the weil-knoWn IriSll-American,
in company with DIR. William Carroll,
of Philadelphia. These gentlemen rep
resent the Home Market clubs of their
respective cities. And Mr.. Seaman has
been here before in the interest of
Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, for
place in the cabinet. This was their
errand to-day, but after their interview
with the president-elect, neither gentle
man was particularly elated or encour-
aged over the cabinet outlook from
their standpoint. Thomas G. Smith, a
Brooklyn manufacturer, and DR.. G. Nj.
Ayers, of Cincinnati,w were other callers.
DR.. Ayers was surgeon of the Seventy
ninth Ohio, which comprised part of
Gen. Harrison's brigade. Mr.. Lord, of
Washington, Mrs. Harris0n's sister, is
guest at the Harrison house, and has
charge of the household during Mrs.
HarriSon's absence in New York. 1t is
reported that Senator Sabin, of Mime
sofa, is en- route to indianapolis and
will arrive tonight. Inquiry at Gen.
Harrison's house this evening failed to
elicit any confirmation of the report
that the senator comes by special invi-
tation or urgent solicitation. 1t could
not be learned that he has anything
more than general invitation such as
about all the Republican senators re-
ceiYed.
