party for President and Vice President.
arrived in the city at an early hour this
morning. They were met by a commit
tee of prominent citizens, and escorted
to the Morris hotel, where breakfast was
served. At noon they repaired to the
opera house. where an audience of about
800 had assembled to hear them discuss
the issues of the campaign. The rail-
roads had made special rates for the oc-
casion and citizens of Admission Decatur,
Montgomery, Talladega, Jasper, Russell
vile, Bessemer and other towns avaied
themselves of the opportunity to hear
the nominees. The shops of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad shut down
to give the employees an opportunity to
attend.
Gen. Ferguson, commander-in-chief of
the department of Alabama United Con-
federate Veterans, presided and intro
duced tho speakers.
Gen. Palmer's speech was on the lines
already familiar to readers of these dis
patches. He denied the charge that he
had been guilty of severity to college
girls at Athens, Ga, while commandant
there. for the very good reason that he
never was in Athens and defended his ac-
tion in enforcing the election laws in
Louisville, when in command there just
after the war.
Gen. Palmer was given a respectful hear
ing and at times considerable enthusiasm
was manifested, though it was apparent
that there were many Bryan men in the
audience. Occasionally some of these
would shout for their favorite, thereby
embarrassing the speaker.
Gen. Buckner's reception was perhaps
more cordial than that of his colleague.
At any rate he was not Interrupted. I'VE
don't love you for your politics, but be-
cause you are a confederate soldier" some
one shouted. There was nothing new in
his speech.
At 4 o'clock the party left in their coach
for Montgomery, where they speak to-
morrow night. A committee from Mont
gomery came up to escort them to that
city. From there they go to Mobile,
include Florida in their itinerary.

Palmer and Buckner left Birmingham
this afternoon at 4:45 o'clock for this
city. At several points along the route
they were called to the rear of their car
by the calls Of people who had assem-
bled to see them. On reaching the depot
here, there was a salute of twenty-one

them vocferously. They were placed in
a carriage drawn by four horses, and
driven to the theater, preceded by the
Second regiment band and a long process
sion of citizens in carriages. All along
the route there were brilliant lights, the
streets and sidewalks presenting a beau

a citizen of the United States.
