FULTON AND THE FINANCES.
The SiIverites Not in 1t With the
Sound Money Men.

SOUND Money Men.
Atlanta, Ga, May 2S.-The Fulton
County Bimetallic League, which is the
name of the club which has charge Of
the campaign of the 16 to 1 silverites,
is having a very rocky road to travel
The big guns of the free silver contingent
had done so much blowing that many
people believed Fulton county at least
was overwhelmingly in favor of cheap
money, and that the handful of faithful
spirits who were entrusted with the work
OF doing the campaigning throughout the
county would have picnic 1t turns out,
however, that instead of riding on the
crest of popular wave, they are appar-
entity engulfed
The first work undertaken by the sill
verites was to organize in each ward. Two
of these ward meetings have been held
After diligent advertising, thirty-siX men
were gotten together in the Second ward,
which is the most populous in the city,
and in the Third the number that turned
out was twenty-five, including several
who were present at the Second ward
rally the previous night.
In these two wards the silver leaders
banked upon making the greatest show
ing of strength They have been contend
ing that the laboring classes and mechan-
les are SOlidly in favor of the silver
standard, and singled out the Second and
Third wards to start off the organization
for the campaign, because in both there
are a large number of this class of citi-
zens. The southern railway shops and
many other large factories are in The
Third ward. The fact that in both rallies
the silver leaders have been able to get
out less than seventy-five people, when
they have been claiming that the town
was in danger of being swept clean off
its feet by the free silver tidal wave.
has caused them to feel very blue. They
have almost abandoned the fight. The
ticket for delegates for the state con-
vention that it was announced would be
put out week ago, has not yet made its
appearance.
On the other hand the sound money
club is carrying on its campaign with
great enthusiasm, and bets at good odds
have been made that a sound money del
vention from Fulton county by a large
majority

END OF THE EXPOSITION.
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE CALLS
1T OFF.

Failure of the south to Respond the
Reason for the Abandonment OF
the PrOject-The Provisional Com
mittee of Chicago Given Credit for
Its Good Work.
Augusta, Ga. May 28.-The proposed
Southern States Exposition IS abandoned
because the south did not respond in ac-
cordance with the terms of the agreement
entered into at Chicago-that nine states
should be represented.
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
would have been ready in time-Maryland
applied for space. The Southern railway,
the Mobile and Ohio and other roads had
also applied for space. These roads would
have secured exhibits from a half dozen
more states, but this would not have
been a compliance with the agreement
The depressed condition of business rem
dered il impossible to secure favorable
action in the Virginias, North Carolina,
Florida, Mississippi and other states. IN
der the circumstances. the southern ad-
visory board, which met in this city to-
day, declared the exposition off The
chairman was authorized to make the
following announcement, which will be
received with regret by the friends of
southern development, who appreciate the
generous offer made by Chicago,
and who believe in cult
waiting trade relations between
the citizens of the south and the north
west: ''The advisory board of the South
ern States Exposition Company met in Au-
gusta this morning and declared the pro-
posed exposition Off for the reason that a
sufficient number Of states had not re-
sponded in accordance with the agreement
entered into in Chicago in February last.
This is to be regretted because of the lib
eral offer made by Chicago and the great
opportunity which the exposition would
present to advertise the south. The ad-
Visory board feels that the provisional
committee of Chicago has complied with
It's agreement and expresses the earnest
nope that southern exposition will be
held in that city in the not distant future
Respectfully, Patrick Walsh, Chairman"
The sentiment survives that the eXposi-
ton is deferred. but not abandoned. : I'm
der favorable circums tances the south will
be glad to accept a similar proposition
from the public spirited citizens of Chi
cago, and be able to carry through an ex-
position at the metropolis of the great
northwest.
