LOUISVILLE, Sept 1.-THE blue and
gray, the symbols of the once separated
but now united country, We're blended in
the stage decorations of the Auditorium
Saturday evening, when Palmer and
Buckner received their formal notification
Of the action of the Indianapolis conven-
tion. A great feature Of the gathering
was the reading of kilograms from Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle,
heartily indorsing the third tickot.
The portraits Of the nominees were hung
over the center Of the rostrum zach deCked
in its appropriate color, but with o scarf
of blue flung protectingly over the sober
gray of the Confederate. To the right and
left hung immense national flags. The
theater proper was resplendent with flags
and bunting. The columns were decorated
and the balcony WAS drapod with equal
effect. The Attendance was unparalleled
in the history of the Auditorium. The
house has seating capacity Of 1000 in
front and 800 on the stage and in the
boxes There are fourteen Of these boxes,
all occupied by ladies
The appearance of the candidates caused
the arm of General Palmer as they moved
across the stage, Everybody rose TO their
feet, handkerchiefs and hats were waved,
and at times resounding stamp shook
the building. Another scene ensued when
the band came in playing Dixie" This
familiar old tune brought out the famous
rebel yells, which did not hush until the
nominees took their seats. Mr.. Phelps
was gracefully received when he called
the meeting to order The singing of
America was enthusiastically done, and
accorded well with the patriotic feeling of
the assembly.
The meeting was presided over by Hon.
w. d. Bynum, of Indiana, chairman of
the National Democratic executive COM
mittee United States Senator Donelson
Caffery, of Louisiana notified Senator
Palmer and Colonel John r. Fellows, of
New York, informed General Buckner Of
the honor conferred upon him. The two
standard bearers replied in turn.
Mr. Bynum was brief in his remarks,
and at once proceeded to read the letters
of Secretary Lamont and Secretary
Francis, which have been published, de-
scribing the work of the indianapolis con
ventiou. When he took up third and
read the words bar Harbor," there We're
yells Of delight. That's Carlisle, that :
Carlisle" was the cry, and when Mr..
! Bynum finished reading three cheers were
given for Carlisle half II dozen times
Then came the outburst of the evening
"Buzzard's Bay" read Mr.. Bynum That
was all the audience wanted to hear Men
! jumped up on the chairs and in the aisles,
screaming like mad for Grover Cleveland
1t was two minutes before Mr. Bynum
] . tim I lv
interrupted with cheers for Grover Clcve-
land

TO take my stand with the old fashioned
Democrats who have refused to abandon
