CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION.

We are earnestly in favor OF
the successful carrying out OF the
proposed exposition IN 1897.
As we said some weeks ago, we
commended the good sense of
the managers in postponing it.
We have great faith in the abili-
ty of the President to carey it
out successfully, and no one
knows or can know better than
he, that as the object to be desir"
ed is to exhibit the resources of
the State the people outside the
State. Business conditions must
improve before we can expect
that people from a distance can
afford the expense of q visit.
1t is net the gaudy display OF
a few governors, with q crowd Of
war like aidesHde-camp, brave il
brass aud button, gold lace and
feathers, that are to make the ex
hibition a success, but the people
who come to examine the xhib

is they want. and come and cast
their lots with US. These are
the people who make expositions

some one not particularly beue-
fitted.

A great deal has been said of the

Antf-BarrOom Plank.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. THE populist state
convention, having perfected organiza-
ton yesterday and having listened to
Watson's address last night. settled
promptly down to business this morn
ing.
The discovery that on account of not
having resided in the state long enough
j. Il. Gambrell was ineligible for the gov
ernorship having removed him from the
field, the sentiment crystallized in favor
OF Seaborn Wright of Rome. Wright was
nominated by reclamation.
The ticket was completed by the nom.
nation OF DR.. ]. A. Parsons for secre-
tary Of state; Seaborn Mill, comptroller
general; Donald j. Clark, attorney gen.
eral; w. c. Sbley, treasurer, and w. f.
Smith, commissioner of agriculture
The platform indorses the st. Louis
platform, and contains the following bar
room plank: Civilization to say moth

The -populist convention fulfilled the
predictlon as to action on the state ticket
made by Thomas Il. Watson in his adj

a resolution presented by the platform
committee, authorizing the state execu-

BRYAN At CHICAGO
SERVICES At rScLn-
WOOD.
Remarks of the silver Candidate at
Different Towns in Illinois
Chicago Speech.

Chicago, Aug. s.-Thousands OF enthus-
sliastic people called at the Clifton house
to see w. j. Bryan and his wife today.
They came with their wives and babies.
But 1t was late in the afternoon before
their desires were satisfied.
In the first place, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
slept until the middle of the forenoon.
They were weary and worn from the ia
tlgue and hot weather OF yesterday
Then they wanted to be prepared for the
excitement of tomorrow. When they had
breakfasted they took carriage and
went alone to church. They drove to the
Presbyterian church, at Englewood, and
listened to an orthodox sermon preached
by Rev. DIR. John Clark Hill. The divine
did not know the nominee and his wife
were coming, and two-thirds of the con-
gregation went home after the services
In utter Ignorance of the fact that their
house OF worship had been honored by
his presence. No reference was made
to the political issues OF the day by the
preacher In his sermon, nor did he in his
prayer mention the candidate or his cause.
One reason that Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
attended services at the Engewood
church was because the Rev. DR.. Hill
has accepted a call to act as pastor over
the First Presbyterian church at Lin
coin, OF which Mr. and Mrs Bryan are
both members. They wanted to hear their
new pastor. Mr.. Hill Is now pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Austin, and ne
preached at Englewood as a supply
during the absence of the regular pastor.
All the while there were thousands of
eager democrats calling at the clifton
house to see their hero, but they were
disappointed.
After returning to the hotel Mr. and
mrs Bryan took dinner, and then took
an after-dinner nap, which lasted until
nearly o'clock. After that they went
to the parlors and held an informal re-
ception. The throng then began to pour

time for their departure.
