CLEVELAND WAVE. RUNNING High,
A Short Time Has Brought Great Reac.
tion in Southern Sentiment.

Washington, March 15.-During
the past month a great reaction of
sentiment has taken place through,
out the South in favor f the nomi-
nation of Cleveland. This change
of feeling is quite pronounced in
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, while even in Texas
there is less feeling against Cleve-
land than was indicated several
months ago. In Mississippi the
presidential boom for Congressman
Williams was started for the sole
purpose Of sending an uninstructed
delegation to the st, Louis conven-
ton. All the feeling that has been
shown against Cleveland has been
by Democratic politicians and some
OF those members Of the house of
representatives. That the feeling
has been changed was shown IN the
house yesterday whcn an eulogy of
Cleveland by Representative Pat
tcrsen Of Tennessee caused enthus-
iastic chooring on the Democratic
side Of the chamber.
There is strong sentiment
Throughout the South for Cleve.

been the custom to nave the banquet

which to entertain the guests and

much pleasure, her accompaniment
being played by Mrs. j. N. Grow.
Before proceeding further with the
program the banquet was served.
The tables in three lows in the north
room were very tastily decorated
with flowers. The refreshments
were served in three courses and
we're of a substantial nature. A
committee of students from the COL

the menu and the serving of the vi

good reading and Prof. Wingfield en-
%tertained The audience with a few re-
