Alabama, from which the motto of the
state is taken.
"Hurrah for Alabama, they shouted,
and across the hall came the cry:
"What'a the matter with old Kentuck?"
The tSnd then awoke the echoes with
stirring medley of popular airs, and
Immediately thereafter the delegates
began arriving. There were some en-
thusiastc receptions. General Bragg,
Us he moved to his seat in the extreme
left at tie head of the Wisconsin dele
cation, was uproariously applauded.
Chez IS FOR Colonel breckenridge.
When the Pennsylvania delegation
filed in shortly before noon there were
cheers for the old Keystone state. I'm
mediately afterward, while the band
was playing Dixie" Colonel w. G. P.
Breckinridge, with snow white beard
and hair, entered at the head of the
Blue Grass delegation and the galleries
again cheered.
The entrance Of Iowa brought the
delegates to their feet.
The 'What' s. the matter" man was
present and kept the galleries busy. The
hands Of the clock pointed " nigh noon.
Senator Palmer of Illinois. chairman of
the national committee, made his way
from his states quarters to the plat
form The galleries were then about
half filled and the main body of dele
gates were then in their seats About
90 per cent OF those in the galleries were
ladies.
The appearance of the Florida delega-
ton, headed by two burly negroes. one
carrying Cleveland banner and the
other gilded alligator labeled "Flor-
ida's gold bug" produced quite a furry
of enthusiasm, but was drowned in the
thunderous applause which greeted the
New York delegation. Headed by ex-
Governor Flower and General Tracy,
they marched to their seats, ~ strong,
to continuous handclapping. Each dele
gate had in his buttonhole spray of
golden rod.
The New England delegations, with
many conspicuous men among them,
was alro warmly received. Massachu-
sets carried two silk American flags
and q state banner. Elk Congressman
Cultivate of Ohio took his place on the
platform with Mr.. Bynum and Secre-
tary Wilson.
Among the distinguished visitors in
the seats in the rear of the stage were
W. Bullitt of Pennsylvania, r. T. Ty-
Ter of Kentucky, who was Il candidate
for lieutenant governor with P. Watt
Hardin year ago; DR., Everett of Bos-
ton, the college professor and son of
Edward Everett; Mrs. John NJ. Palmer
and many others.

Delegates Slow In Gathering.

Promptly at II o'clock the doors lead :
ing TO Tomlinson hall were opened. but
admission was confined under strict or
ders to ticket holders. They arrived
rather slowly at first. CALCULATIONS of
surprise We're heard as the early corners
surveyed the beautiful decorations of
the hall A profusion of flags, bunting,
gilt and green met the eye. The bal
cony, which hung over three sides of
the hall, with u background of white,
was studded with red, white and blue
shields, alternating with gold wreaths
containing the names OF states.

Senator Palmer rose at 1890 and
struck the gavel. Thereupon most of
the delegates jumped to their feet,
shouting and waving their state ban
ners, ending the demonstration, which
was brief, by three cheers The white
haired senator said that this was the
first Democratic national convention of
the year and it was fitting to call upon
that omnipotent power for guidance
and presented Bishop White of the DIG
cese of Indiana, Il smooth faced, spec
tacled man, who read a brief prayer
from q written manuscript held be-
tween the pages of a prayerbook
After the prayer, for which the dele
gates rose, Senator Palmer announced
that the secretary would read the call
for the convention, and ex- Congressman
Cultivate of Ohio, who came forward
for the purpose, was recognized for q
breezy burst of handclapping. This APP
plause punctuated every telling point of
the call, during its reading, and
especially the statement that the Chi
cago platform was not entitled to the
support of the true Democrats.
In reading the reference to "Jeffer-
son, jackson and Cleveland. Mr.. Outh-
Clevelands name and brought the dele
gates to their feet with tribute of
cheers louder than any which had gone
before.
During the reading the Chicago
Marching club filed into the gallery
with about 80 members in line.
A call of states to ascertain the pres
ent standing followed and Colorado an
swered: "A solid delegation.
For California John P Irish answered
"here," his colleagues having been de-
tanned by railroad accident. Montana
being called, one gentleman arose. an

is. -
At the call of New York her 70 repre-
sentatives doomed up in compact group
in the left hand section of the hall with
shout 1--WE are here" which inspired
cheers.
Ohio and Pennsylvania also testified
to their presence by rising. Maryland's
spokesman answered: "All here, heart
and SOUL, ;" and General Bragg Of Wis

consin, declaring the presence Of her
full delegation, added; land they are
all Democrats.
Honest men, honest money and hon
est government" was the contribution
of Oregon.
Four Of the western group, Idaho,
Nevada, Utah and Wyoming, were the
only states whose names passed unan-
swered. Alaska's lone representative
WAS cheered. Arizona, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory had no spokesman.
After this call, Senator Palmer raised
q laugh by announcing that the next
thing he found ON the program was
''remarks" by himself, "but." he con-
tinued, IN omit the remarks. Words
are silver; silence is golden. -

Trying to Force Bragg Out.
An effort is being made to force Gen
eral Bragg out of the presidential race
i'll favor of Senator Villas of the same
| state. Many delegates here, believing
Senator Villas the strongest candidate,
have rendered him their support.
A sensational story was printed in a
morning paper here which, if true,
would have completely closed the Bragg
boom. In effect the story ran that late
Tuesday night some of Mr.. Bragg's
friends had discovered that no longer
ago than 1898 General Bragg was for
free silver and had written a letter in
support of his vews and that they had
decided to drop him and take ND Sena-
tor Villas or General Black of Illinois
The story proved to be a canard. Sena.
tor Villas said:
Il would stake my homestead on my
conviction that there is absolutely no
truth in the story. General Bragg voted
for the experiment of the Bland Allison
act in 1878 and he was then in the best

man, and in fact almost every Demo-
GRAFT in congress voted for that expert

been absolutely sound on the money
question. Wisconsin is for Bragg and
Will continue to be for him."

moment later, and when informed of
this report calculated Enthusiastically

A COSTLY RIDE
Will be James McGregor's---Jum ped
Into a Buggy Belonging to Mrs.
Heiner, at the Park, and Rode to
the City, Where He Was Arrested
and Committed.

James McGregor. bartender at the
Oil Exchange saloon. on Market street,
rode into the city from Wheeling Park
late yesterday afternoon in buggy.
1t will be a costly ride for him when the
law bearing on certain transactions OF
his has had its course. 1t is very likely
that McGregor already regrets the
trip.
The horse and buggy did not belong
to him. 1t was the property of Mrs.
Christina Heiner, of North Main street,
who drove out to the Park in the after
noon, and hitched the horse near the
enclosure. McGregor drove at break
neck speed along the National road, and
attracted considerable attention. The
owner missed the buggy soon after it
was taken, and telephone message
was sent to police headquarters. Off
GERS were on the lookout and it was not
long until Policeman Coss saw McGreg-
or coming over the hill from Fulton.
He was promptly arrested and taken
to the City Building. Justice Phillips
was summoned and committed him to
Jail in default Of 81, 900 bond, for his APP
pearance at hearing at ten O'Clock
Tuesday morning. McGregor assigned
no reason for his rash deed, simply say
ing that he knew nothing about it. He
had evidently been imbibing too freely.
The horse was injured from the furi-
Gus driving.

SUNDAY IN The CHURCHES.
A Memorial Sermon Preached by the
Rev. L. W. Roberts,
At the Wesley Church, to Members
of the Grand Army-Anniver-
sary Services at the Fourth Street
M. E. and st. Matthew's Churches.
Other Religious Matters Of Inter-


The annual memorial sermon to the
comrades Of the G. A. R. was preached
this year by the Rev. l.. w. Roberts,
pastor of the Wesley NJ. e. Church, at
last nights services Members of Holli-
day and Stephens Posts marched in a
body TO the church, and it was complete
ly filled. The reverend speaker took
his text from Isaiah "a: He began
his remarks with a definition of the
word memorial. and traced the causes
leading up to the civil war, and OF the
immense sacrifices of time, money,
property and human life involved in its
four years of sanguinary strife.
The peril of life. he said, is the Sc
verest test OF patriotism, and country
will abide so long as the citizens are
willing to pass this test. With this ma
ton, when the test came, there came
also the grandest outburst of enthusi-
asm the world has ever known. The
spirit of sacrifice pervaded every home
and every heart. There were days OF
special significance, the enlistment,
starting and march, first battle, etc.
In that strife many fell whose graves
are unknown, but their memories and
heroism are perpetuated. Decoration
Day is the outgrowth of the sentiment
of the times. The first call for a ma
tional observance was issued by John
A. Logan in 1868, and later Congress
made it a national holiday. 1t is a
matter for regret that it is secularized,
and even desecrated. The day is given
to the memory of the men whose bodies
formed breast-work for the preserva-
ton of the union.
The speaker dwelt upon the nature Of
the sacrifices which were made, and of
the privationS of war. and concluded
that we should be tn y kful that we are
blessed with peace. War, with its
blighting, damning effects, should pass
forever from Christian nations. Its in
struments should be changed to the use
full aids to husbandry.
Time, the great healer Of discords as
we'll as wounds, has demonstrated the
wisdom of events, and few, if any,
would again want the national condi-
tons that existed previous to the war.
Sectional feeling should be obliterated.
We are a nation cemented by the blood
of her noblest sons. There should be
no north, south, east or west, and
America should be the synonym of
freedom and liberty.
What are the lessons which are taught
by our civil and other wars? What are
our duties? Let the cost and value Of
our country be taught our posterity;
first, by this annual Sabbath of wor-
ship; second. by strewing flowers on the
graves of our dead. when the last re-
union is held, let us hope and pray that
the ranks may be unbroken. 1t would
be a pity for soldier to miss heaven.
You have been faithful to your country;
don't forget self and God. Let the col
umns be full as they march to victory.
10 the music, not of fife and drum, but
angel harpers and the song of the re-
deemed"
