Mayor Brown, who was to deliver
the address Of welcome on the part
'of the city, was called to Atlanta on
business OH Saturday, and may not
return in time to be present at tho

Much to the regret of the local
committee, Ex-Governor NJ. B.. Nc
Sweeney, who is on the programme to
respond at the banquet tonight to the
press, wrote on Saturday that sick
ness in his family will prevent his
being with us. Prof w. II. Wallace,

consented to take Governor Nc

sponse for the. press.
