The Remains Of General Gordon Lay
In state In Florida Town.
The body of General John b. Cor
don was removed from mis- late resi-
dence at Blscayne to Miami at an ear
ly hour Monday morning, accompanied
by a detachment OF state guards. On
arrival the body was placed in the
Presbyterian church where 1t lay in
state, guarded by Company l., State
Guards.
Hundreds OF visitors, anxious to
gain last glimpse OF the dead hero,
entered the church silently and gazed
upon the calm face, their eyes elo-
quent with sorrow. Evidences OF popu'
lar grief were visible on all sides.
Georgia herself could not show
moro clearly her poignant grief for
her own Gordon than does Florida
for the loss Of the knightly chevalier
whose name Is enshrlned in the hearts
OF all southerners and is loved and
revered by all Americans.

ST.LOUIS is CHOSEN
As Meetlngt Place OfNationaI
Democratic Convention.
JULY 9th IS THE DATE
Committee Meets In Washington and
Has Harmonious sesslcn-Terrl.
torlal Considerations En-
tered into BaIlotIng.

The democratic national committee
met at the shoreham hotel in Wash
ipgton Tuesday for the purpose Of de-
Gliding on the time and place for hold
ing the next democratic convention.
The convention was called to order
at noon by Chairman James X. Jones.
OF Arkansas,
Among those present with proxies
were Senator Dubois, Of Idaho; Rep
resentatIve Lind, of Minnesota, and Jo-
seph X OH, for Georgia.
The meeting OF the committee was
entirely harmonious. Much OF the
morning session, practically all Of 1t,
was devoted to the contest for COM
mittee place from the District OF Co
lombia. For eight years there has
been war between two factions in the
District. Chairman Jones had endeav'
ored to settle this temporarily by nam
ing his former secretary, Edwin Self
ton, as District Of Columbia member,
but large element of the committee
wanted James l.. Norris. In order that
there might be no embarrassment, Mr..
Seton declined the appointment, and
then, after a good deal OF discussion,
the whole matter was referred to a
special committee, which mas lie effect
of carrying 1t over to the next meet
ing of the committee. which will be
Just before the assembling Of the ma
tional convention.
At 1880 the committee took recesa
until 8 O'clock, when the various cities
which are applicants for the conven'
ton will be given thirty minutes each
TO present their claims. This included
New York, Chicago and st. Louis
After lively contest St, Louis was
selected as fireplace. and July 6 as the
late Of the convention.
The conditions of 1896 are, therefore
reversed. In that memorable year the
republicans met at st. Louis and the
democrats at Chicago.
st. Louis won primarily because the
offer Of that city was considered the
better. New York was never a Sc
rious opponent.
The Chicago proposition included
contribution OF fortysthousard dollars
toward defraying the convention ex
penses, but out OF this would have tt
come payment for the convention hall
The st. Louis people offered at leas
forty.flve thousand dollars and the fret
use of the great coliseum.
In the ballotlng over the question
of place, territorial considerations fig
ured largely. The members llvlnl
nearest Chicago supported that city
while those people more convenient!
located with reference to st. Louis
cast their votes for the exposition city
Then, too, the fact that the exposition
would be in full blast was in 81
Louis favor.
| The balance Of power was, however
held by the half dozen members VIII
on the first ballot voted for New York
They all went to st. Louis on the sec
ond ballot.
There is no significance to the com
mittee's action 80 far as possible pres
identlal nominees are concerned
There was no talk of possibilities II
this line and the lines were at no tim
drawn in a way that could possibly b
construed as having bearing for o
against any presidential possibility.

Governor Terrell Of Georgia, issued

death Of Genera. Gordon;

It has pleased Almighty God to take
from the scenes OF this eart1 the in
trepld soldier, lofty patriot Christian
statesman, feryid orator and unblem'
Ished civilian, Gen. John b. Gordon.
The loss sustained by his temporal
end is sorely felt In every home In
Georgia and the south; and his pas
sage effects every home In America,
for he was a commanding Ideal OF chiy
airy and patriotism that challenged
the admiration Of the entire country.
On the field Of battle he was Geor-

from captain to lieutenant general.

In the dark and gloomy days OF Re-
construction ne was as staunch as
patriotism is true, and as unfalterlng
as duty is sublime.
As United States senator, then gov
ernor, and again United States sena-
tor, he discharged his civic relations
with signal ability, fidelity and patriot
ism. His spiritual promotion creates
vacuum In the ranks Of this earth,
while his eternal departure has cast
upon the state cloud Of sorrow that
will not dlspel.
A most remarkable career has been
wrapped In the drapery of death. The
glItterlng lance has fallen from the
grasp of the valiant knight; the Inn
mortal soul has returned to the bosom
Of Its Maker; the magnetic figure now
awaits the halo Of the grave. Our
Gordon is no more.
Therefore, in view OF the great sor'
row that hangs heavily upon the PEG
pie, and as mark Of respect to the
reyered memory OF Georgia's noble
ton. 1t is requested that the people In
