literally true that old ties of friend
ship were severed and brother fought
against brother. But the bitterness en-
gendered by those days has waned. On
the exposition board, working side by
side with common purpose, there
have been soldiers of the north and OF
the south. IL used To be east middle
and west Tennessee, and the divisions
were recognized by the state constitu-
ton. The exposition represents all of
Tennessee and imaginary lines have
been obliterated.
The white city is built on ground
orce soaked with blood of federal and
confederate alike in the battle Of Nash
vile. Union cavalry charged across
the level ground and from tho hills be-
hind cannon pounded the Hardin pike
while Thomas and Hood strOVe for the
mastery Now the stars and stripes
float over Il new scene, illustrative Of
the arts of peace. This summer the
veterans of the G.. A. X. and the rem
nants of gray-clad brigades will camp
again on this historic ground in all
amity.
All States Represented.
In the exposition, as built, no sec
tionai lines are recognized in grounds
or buildings or exhibits within. 1t
stands first for Tennessee, second for
the south and third for the whole ma
ton. For Tennessee and the whole
south it offers an object less in re-
sources, progress and development. The
north, the east and the west are not
forgotten, though, in these minor de-
tails of products OF loom and forge,
workshop and factory; but those sec
tons are remembered in more compre
hensiye fashion by the invitation Ten
nessee has extended TO them to come
and see and participate. They have
responded, too, not only in word Of
formal politeness, but in deed. Com
missions from every state are enrolled
among the workers who have helped
to build and equip this white city and
special buildings have been erected to
show that the people of New York and
Illinois are as much at home here as
the people of Kentucky and Tennessee.
Then, as one looks at the exposition
again, the mind reaches outward, over
leaping the boundaries OF states and
nations and bridging the gaps OF time.

1896 was % hold-Ups, in which %
passengers and trainmen were killed,

VICTORY FOR MASON.

Illinois Republicans Choose the eX-COn-
gresham to Succeed John ii. Palmer.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 20.-Ex-COn-
gresham William E. Mason was nomi-
mated for United States senator at the
republican joint caucus last night,
after one Of the most bitterly fought
battles in the history Of the republican
party IN Illinois. Although he had
been canvassing the state as a sena-
tOriai candidate for two years, Mr..
Masoh's selection was regarded by
machine politicians as an impOs-
sibility up to within two hours of
the time of his triumphant and unsni-
nous nomination, the choice be-
ing the result of the sudden with
drawal from the race Of Congressman
william Lorimer, who had held the
almost solid vote Of Chicago and Cook
county. The contest had been so long
drawn out and the battle 50 fierce that
the legislators were in a mood 10 be
stampedod at any moment as the hour
for the caucus drew near and the sud-
den shifting Of the Cook county forces
to Mason carried the other candidates
off their feet The tide turned to
ward the ex-congressman with a rush
that carried everything before it, and
the nomination was made without the
most feeble show Of opposition. Mr..
Mason's selection was a distinct defeat
for the combination OF politicians
known as the machine and a clear
victory for the Mckinley forces OF the
state.
