CONFEDERATES MEET
Veterans of Southern Army
Reunite at Nashville.
NOW HONOR ONE COUNTRY, ONE FLAG
ain Less Than T~hirty-five ear Conn
mercinI Freedom Has Been OBJ
tanned For the south, the Gar
den Spot of This Fair Land"

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 15.-Un'
der every condition tending to a sue
cessful reunion. Nashville has officially
welcomed the United Confederate vet
Grams and their friends, constituting Il
host c~onservatively estimated at 10000
people. The exercises took place in the
Tabernacle, and every bit of space was
taken long before the veterans were
called to order by General George w
Gordon of Memphis, commander of the
Tennessee division.
1t was the first convention in the his
tory Of the organization that the Sons
of Veterans sat with their fathers,
California was represented on the floor,
from faroff Montana Il delegation was
sent and Ohio was on hand with foul
delegates.
After General Gordon had called the
veterans to order, Chaplain Jones de-
livered the invocation. Governor j. Il,
Frazier welcomed the delegates to
Tennessee in a splendid address.
Twice he started to his seat only to be
recalled. Governor Frazier said in
part:
when that grand. that patriot. that
noble Christian soldier, General Robert
Il. Lee, surrendered at AppomattoX he
spoke with Il heart too full for deceit,
in that no southern mother swore hel
son to bitterness; she swOre him to
love and honor. All accepted the tinal-
ity. When you saw furled for the last
time the stars and bars you had fol
lowed for four years you sealed Il sol
cmn pledge hat from that day on you
would know. but IL country and but
one flag.
You came back to take up your old
work. to build Il new civilization, to re-
deem Il land that had almost malicious
Iy been given to the negro. In less
than thirty-five years. unaidCd by any
thing except Il fertile land and energy,
you have attained commercial freedom
for the south. The south has already
snatched from New England the hith-
crto unchallengcd record of cotton
manufacturing. The south is destined
TO become the garden spot in this fail
land.
"Wc welcome you to the warm hospi-
tality and sunshine of the south, and if
that is not warm enough, we welcome
you to some of Il good homes"
After Colonel a. S. Williams, mayor
of Nashville. had extended the city's
welcome, General Gordon brought for
ward General Stephen ID. Lee as tho
permanent presiding officer and com
mander in chief. General Lees appear
ancc was the signal for a wild out
burst of enthusiasm.

SIDEWALKS AND POLITICS.

Tho members of tho Chamber of
Commerce asked some questions about
sidewalks last night and there was
no one present who could give them
an answer. The chamber has been
agitating the sidewalk matter for
some timo and it went so far that
the city had an inspection made and
notices wore sent to property owners
to put their walks in repair within n
certain time or tho city would do it
and charge up the COST.
The result hns bc%on-nothing.
Someone got paid out of the city
treasury for making the inspection
and the sidewalks are the snmc today
rs ever. The people have heard these
threats of the city to do the work il
tho property owners did not, but they
have bacomo used to it. Perhaps the
city officials cannot decide whose man
shall do the work. The matter is
probably on the shelf with the police
appointments. The improvement of
the city amounts to nothing when
fractional disputes are to BIO settled.
The city business is lost i'll the midst
of politics. The advancement of Perth
AU,boy amounts to nothing unless
personal advancement and ring
control goes along with IL. Perth Am
boy needs more men at the head of
affairs who are Interested enough in
the city to forget politics and boom
the place. A few independent men
in tho municipal boards, who would
pick out tho good the different fac
lions offer and throw their infiu-
ence that way, might accomplish the
desired results.

Routed Harrison Party.
WAS CONTROLLED BY JOHN P. HOPKINS
Motion by barrow Hedging Dele
gates to Hearst as Long as His
Name Is Before st. Louis Com
VentiOn Was Adopted.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 15.-The
Democratic state convention here has
nominated Lawrence i. Stringer OF
Lincoln for governor and instructed
the delegates to the st. Louis conven-
ton to vote as a unit for William Il.
Hearst for the presidential nomina-
ton. The convention was controlled
by John L. Hopkins, former mayor of
Chicago and now chairman of the
state central committee. Mr.. Hcarst's
campaign managers, who attempted to
ride into power by the aid Of his name,
received no consideration whatever
from the convention.
The Harrison party, which came
solely from Chicago and was pledged
to the support of Congressman james
II. Williams, was routed completely.
Mayor Carter Ii. Harrison was unscat-
cd as n delegate and took Il train for
home without going near the V
ton. Both his faction and the Hearst
party were as nothing compared to the
strength and skillful management of
the convention exhibited by Hopkins.
Frank J.. Quinn of Peoria presided
over the convention both as temporary
and permanent chairman.
The report of the committee on Gre
dcntiaIs %indorsing Mr.. Hopkins action
and seating his delegates was put
through under the gavcl in spite of
vigorous protests from the adherents
of Hearst and Harrison.
Following this Judge William Prem
tiss of Chicago, Il supporter of Hearst,
took the platform and withdrew as Il
candidate for governor. He declared
that he desired nothing from the con
ycntion, as it dill not, in his opinion.
represent the Democracy of Illinois.
Clayton T.. Crafts of Chicago read
the report of the committee on rcsolu-
tons. He was frequently interrupted
by boots and jeerS, and ~insinuating
questions were hurled at him in profu-
sion. The resolution providing for the
Endorsement of Mr.. Hearst was not
made a part of the report of the COM
mittCe on resolutions, but was submit
ted to the convention as Il separate
matter. The original resolution pro
vlded practically that the Illinois dele
CATION should vote for Hearst until it
was convenient to vote for somebody
else.
A substitute offered by Clarence S.
barrow pledgingM the delegates to
Hearst as long as his name is before
the convention was then adopted by It
vote of 936 to 800.
Lawrence b. Stringer of Lincoln and
Clarence s. barrow of Chicago were
named for governor. Mr.. barrow de-
clined to run, and Mr.. Stringer was
nominated by reclamation.
Following is the full state ticket
nominated: Governor, Lawrence i.
Stringer of Lincoln; lieutenant govern
or, Thomas J. Ferns of JerseyVille;
secretary of state, Frank Il. Dooling of
Sangamon county; state treasurer,
