POPILISTS At NASHVILLE.
Bradley of Texas for Temporary
ChairmRn.

Nashville July 4.-At meeting of the
committee appointed at Memphis to call
to order the peoples party, which meets
here tomorrow, the following were pres
ent: w. $. Morgan. f. w. ID. Mays j.
:. Coxcy. Alec Steinberger, J. ii. Perris,
Milton Parks and Joe A. Parker. Mr..
Mays presided and Mr.. Parker acted as
secretary. The object of the meeting
was TO map out a program. The commit
tee decided to recommend j. :. Bradley
of Texas for temporary chairman and
John Parker for temporary secretary.
A large number of delegates have az
rived and many are scheduled to come
on late trains tonight. Congressman IL.
III. Howard of Alabama, John Scietes of
Ohio. and III. II. Coffman of Arkansas
are here. Ignatius Donnclly is en- route
and "Cyclonc" Davis is expected before
the conference adjourns. There seems to
he a great deal of uncertainty concern
ing the attendance of Tom Watson and
Senator Butler, and opinion is about ev-
emily divided as to their attendance.
Those here, while they discuss what
the convention should do quite freely,
do not seem agreed upon what it will do,
though the prevailing idea seems to be
party reorganization in order to put an
end to dissatisfaction which has arisen
in the party on account of occurrences
within the past year. 1t is expected that
the session may be somewhat stormy, but
no action can be taken except the adop-
ton of resolutions, though some. includ-
ing +. W. ID. Mays, think it not impos-
sible that resolutions criticising the ac-
tons of some members of the national
officers will he adopted. The anti-fusion
sentiment is strong. and it is believed ac-
ton will he taken in favor of indepen-
dcncc and against fusion.
The delegates to the national press re-
form conference will meet tomorrow. but
nothing will be done other than taking
part in the general conference. to which
the most of them are delegates.

Mr.. Clevcland's letter of apology for
not attending the Tammany society celc-
bration of the Fourth of July, was very
properly national and nOn-partisan, in
expressing the hope in the declaration
by the society of II clear and emphatic
announcement of the principles and be-
lief which accord with the best and most
thoughtful opinions of our countrymen."
Mr.. Cleveland is too broad and patriotic
to degrade the Fourth of July, our great
national Sabbath, TO party ends and
political aspirations. An expression Of
the most thoughtful opinions of our
c0untrymen,' embraces the mem
bers Of every political party who are
patriots, and it eminently fits the Fourth
of July, which is not day to celebrate
or air party opinions, but the best
thought of the whole country. How
much broader and more statesmanlikc
is this sentiment than the expression of
IL narrow and half hearted patriotism
that contcmplatcs only one political party
Of the country. But some men can not
rise above partisanship, especially when
they expect 10 ride party into power

late at night, and a dark one) got on

CHAPTER XI.

AS HE APPEARED TO HIS CONTEMPORARIES.
One Of the frankest portraitures of
Washington, and perhaps one of the
most accurate, was drawn by an officer
of the Revolution in a letter to his son,
written in 1911:
Washington was not what the ladies
would call a pretty man, but in mill
tary costume a heroic figure, such as
would impress the memory ever after
ward. n He had a large, thick nose,
and it was very red that day (when they
crossed the Delaware, 1776), giving me
the impression that he was not so moder-
ate in the use of liquors as he was sup
posed to be I found afterward that this
was a peculiarly. His nose was apt to
turn scarlet in a cold wind.
"He was standing near a small camp
fire, evidently lost in thought and max
ing no effort to keep warm. He seemed
6H feet in height, was erect as an In
dian and did not for a moment relax
from a military attitude. Washington's

the same purpose; So at Whitsuntide to
be drunk two days; a dram in the morn
ing, and a dinner drink of grog at noon."
A visitor says: ''The general sent the
bottle about pretty freely after dinner.
q y We had a very elegant supper.
y The general, with a few glasses
of champagne, got quite merry. and be-
ing with his intimate friends laughed
and talked a good deal. Before strangers
he is very reserved and seldom says a
word. I was fortunate in being in his
company with his particular acquaint-
ances."
His love of his table is shown in his
breaking an intention he had declared
of never selling or purchasing anoth T
slave. But "the running off of my Cook
has been a most i%nconvenient thing to
this family; and what renders it more
disagreeable, is that | had resolved never
to become the Master of another Slave
by purchase; but this resolution l fear
must break"
He is said to have had an inordinate
fondness for sweets, and it may have
been this indulgence that caused the
early loss of his teeth and their conse.
quent replacement by the clumsy false
ones of ivory which so marred his tx
preston and gave rise to the universally
accepted report that he never smiled.
This report, like his teeth, vas false,
for those who knew him best declare hi:
smiles were sweet and winning. Even
on his deathbed he smiled after speect
had failed him.

man, evidently advanced in years, but
who appeared to have retained all the
vigor and elasticity resulting from a
life of temperance and exercise. His
dress was a blue coat, buttoned to his
chin, and buckskin breeches.
"Though the instant he took off his
hat l could not avoid the recognition Of
familiar lineaments, which indeed l
was in the habit of seeing on every sign

first I failed to identify him. But after

were No. II. His hands were large in
proportion, and he had to have his
gloves made to order. His mouth was
the strong feature, the lips being always
