ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 25.-No
brighter or balmier sun ever shone
over this particular portion of the
Southland than that which dawned
on Presidential day at the Cotton
States and International exposition.
The thousands of visitors landed in
the city yesterday early swelled the
throngs on the streets to immense
proportions and locomotion soon be-
came difficult matter. In accord
ance with the carefully laid plans of
the exposition management, the ex-
erciSes of the day We're all concen-
trated within the exposition grounds,
into which the visitors and a large
proportion of the population of the
city emptied themselves during the
morning. The presidential party
spent the morning quietly at the
Aragon, where they remained until
IL O'Clock, when they were driven
rapidly to the exposition grounds
without any parade whatever IN
side the gates the military was al
ready gathered. Capt. J. F. Burke.
of the Gate City guards, acted as
marshal. He had in line the Fifth
regiment of the United States reg
ulars, commanded by Col w. L.
Kellogg; the Fourth Virginia regi-
ment, commanded by. Col. CA. Nash;
the Virginia Military Institute ca
diets, commanded by Col. D. Price;
a
or's Foot Guards of Connecticut,
commanded by Maj. E. Henry Hyde;
the Second company Of the Govern-
or's Foot Guards Of Connecticut,
commanded by Maj. B. E. Brown;
Grimes battery, Of Richmond, and
the -Asheville Light infantry. The
troops paraded around the board
walk within the fair enclosure and
were reviewed by the president from
a stand in front Of the government
building. After the review the pres
ident delivered an address. He was
introduced by President Collier. of
the exposition committee, who re-
ferred to him as the man who had
been entrusted with the duty of
wiping out sectional issues and lines.
Mr.. Collier said:
PRIDE OF THE SOUTH.
ITO an assembly composed of Amer
lean citizens an Introduction of the
most illustrious of living Americans is
impossible, save as a mark of courtesy
and an expression of the regard in
which he is held by his country. Still.

signify in some degree our profound
qualification at the presence of the
chief executive of. the nation. The
demonstrations he has already wit
messed prove better than could any
mere words the sincerity and the
| warmth of his welcome He of all
men in this country should best able
to recognize the voice of the people,
for unto him it has been shown in
more emphatic terms than to any man
of our generation, but we must convey
to him an assurance of the admiration
and esteem of the people of the South
ern states, and especially of Atlanta.
The South has received from him
| recognition as a constituent element
| of this Union, to which it had been for
| many years a stranger, when he was
| chosen and commissioned to erase the
| dark line of sectionalism from the
| map of the Union. The administra-
| ton OF which he is the head not only
| gave its aid and Endorsement to the
| dearest enterprise this city has pro
| jected, but has established here. for
| the inspection of the world the most
| comprehensive and instructive display
| Of our federal resources that ever en-
! nobled any exposition. No Intelligent
citizen can visit this display without
| experiencing a quickening of his patri-
! otism, as well as an extension of his
| general knowledge.
I'VE rejoice today in the reflection
| that no other nation, in the years that
| have passed since the foundation of
| this government, has had in its high
est office such an unbroken array of
men who for devotion for their coun-
| try, for faithful performance of duty
and for those virtues which adorn the
citizen, as well as the executive, have
| been worthy of comparison from
Washington to Cleveland"
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
President Cleveland's appearance
