CLEVELAND, WHI TE COUNTY. GA.* FRIDAY, NOVEMBER I, 1895. NO. “n CLEVELAND DAY.” THR PRESIDENT AND CABINET AT THE EXPOSITION. A Royal Reception Accorded tho Dis tinguished Party. Grover Cleveland, president of tho United States, six members of his cabinet and their wives and Private Secretary Thurber arrived in Atlanta five minutes after 4 o’clock Wednes day nTtornocn. With the president were Secretary of the Treasurer John O. Carlisle amt wife, Secretary of tho Navy Hilary A. Herbert and daughter, Airs. Mieou, Secretary of War Daniel S. Lamout and wife, Secretary of tho Interior Holio Smith and wife, Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton and wife; Airs. Harmon, wife of the at torney general; Postmaster General William L. Wilsou and wife. They camo on tho Southern’s vesti- bulod train. It reached the city uu time, but owing to tho departure of tho Dixio Flyer it camo into the depot a few minutes Into. Tho handsome private car, Wild wood, in which tho president ami his secretary rode, was stopped across Loyd street. Hero tho exposition com mittee and Mayor King were in wait ing. A moment after ttio train camo to a standstill the committee, hea.lc 1 by Chairman Hemphill and .Mayor King, entered the oar. Introductions followed and a minute later tho party emerged and walked to the carriages whic h were waiting a few feet away. There was no attempt at a demon stration, as it had been requested that there bo none. There were cheers as tho party appeared. A great multitude was massed in Wall street and along Pryor ns far ns Equitable building. Every window looking out upon these, two streets was filled. Over seventy five police- men kept back tho crowd with great difficulty. It was a huge crowd, surg ing constantly forward to get a good view of the open street along which tho president would pass. The crowd gathered early and the ftreet was filled at 3 :30 o’clock. ’1 he crowd waited patiently until tho com motion at tho Loyd street end of tho depot indicated that the distinguished party had arrived. There was but a brief wait before Hie several carriages containing $}** .BL in&Mty fd^Pryo’r ^ Tho party was driven tip Pryor to the Aragon. Thousands of people wero crowded upon tho sidewalks on both sides of tho street. They surged forward eagerly us the carriages con taining tho distinguished party passed. Tho poople were kept back by mounted officers as tho carriages roll ed by. President Cleveland frequent ly lifted his high silk hat to the great multitude ns ho passed. Tho drive to thoAragou was quickly accomplished. It was tho president’s wish that it bo made without any at tempt at an ovation. There was no music or soldiers. Only tho exposition committee met the nation’s chief and his cabinet. Tho president aiul his cabinet re tired to their apartments immediately upon their arrival at tho Aragon. They were fatigued with their long journey and remained in retirement until 0 o’clock, when a public reception was held in tho parlor. At 0:30 o’clock the president and party were guests at Mayor King’s ele gant dinner in the dining room of tho Aragon. Quito a number of guests were present and the event was a no table ono in every respect. AT THE EXPOSITION. The President Speaks and Fifty Thou sand People Cheer. When the president awoke Wednes day morning between 8 and 9 o’clock he saw tho brightest of suns shining in tho bluest of skies, and ho must havo thought that even tho elements were kind to him, for a more ideal day for the outing at the exposition grounds which was in store for him could nut have been chosen. The president and tho cabinet mem bers and tho ladies of tho party break fasted at 9 o’clock and were driven to tho exposition grounds immediately thereafter. As early as 8 o’clock the crowds be gan thronging to tho exposition grounds. Every vehicle that could bo obtained was pressed into eervice, and at the exposition gates there wero lines of people a block long. When tho president and his party arrived on tho grounds tho incoming crowds were gradually growing larger and walking around any of the en trances was very difficult. The president’s carriage come in at tho main gate at 10:30 o’clock an i was driven at once to the government building. There preparations had been made to receive the presidential party. With Air. W. 0. Dabney, Jr., as his guide, and Governor Atkinson as an escort, President Cleveland went through many of tho exhibits. President Takes the Stand. Two reviewing stands had been erec ted in front of the government build ing. One immediately on the steps of the building and a larger one just op posite it. These wore draped with the colors of tho country in very hand some style. President Cleveland and h • party, after leaving the government building, were escorted by directors of the . x position to the i < viewing stand. All tho member* of Ihe-pri.^identhil party, jUd governor* &o4 » pumbor ^po sition directors were given scats ou the large stand while on tho small .stand the members of awards and other ex position directors were given scats. As the president entered the stand a salute of twenty-oue guns was tired on the plaza l»y the artillery company. As tho last shot was tired tho head of the lino of military appeared near the reviewing stand, and tho president arose from his seat and assumed a po sition at the front of the stand. First came a squad of police; Cap tain Hurke, tho marshal of tho day, with his staff, followed; Major Olein, Polnnel Albert Howell and Clifford Anderson camo next. They were fol lowed by Colonel W. L. Kellogg, of tho Fifth regiment of regulars, and then camo cloven companies of tho regiment of United States soldiers with their band. As tho troops passed tho president they camo to present arms and held that position until they had gotten bo- youd the reviewing stand. Afttr the regulars had passed Gov ernor O’Ferrall, of Virginia, and his staff appeared in tho lino. Tho gov ernor was cheered from the time the parade started until ho left tho line after passing the government building. Governor O’Ferrall was followed by the V. AL I. Hand, playing Dixio and tho four companies of Virginia Mili tary Institute Cadets, under tho com mand of Colonel D. Price. Colonel C. A. Nash and his staff, of the Fourth ^ irginia, and six companies of tho regiment, passed the stand, followed l»v Grimes Buttery, of Virginia. The Asheville Light Infantry, forty strong, marched nhond of tho Gate City Guard. Tho latter company turned out all of its members, and their neat uniforms and soldierly bearing caught tho crowds. Governor Coflln and his staff, tho first and second companies of Governor’s Foot Guard, command ed by Majors E. Henry Ilydo and R. E. Hr. wn, and Colts’ and Ilceves’ Hands were the next in the line. Tho lust in tho line was the Atlanta Artil lery, with all their gnns. As tho last gun passed the stand the crowds rushed in behind tho military and pushed towards tho reviewing stands. Tho crash was terrific, several ladies fainted and with difficulty were taken through the crowds. After several minutes surging Presi dent Collier walked to the front of the stand and holding up his hands to quiet the crowds, announced that Dr. I. 8. Hopkins would offer a prayer, immediately every head in tho vast crowd around tho stand wna bared. The President's Speech. At the conclusion of Dr* Ho; tmmrKmiiSS ■HRH The president was grr t.ed by an ovation which lasted for several rain- utffl. Hats were thrown into the air and boundless enthusiasm was mani fested. He spoke as follows : Mn. President: On mv own b half and for my co-laborer* in the executive branch of onr government wlio havo accompanied me, I thank you for your kind words of greeting. Wo arc hero to eonpratuluto you and your bb- sreiatos upon tlm pp'cudid kucccs* of tho ex position yf u have set on f- ot and upon tho cv deuces you havo horn gathered chiefly illus trative of southern enterprise, southern indus try and southern recuperation.

Tho Public Handshaking. Immediately after the conclusion of President Clevolnn I’s speech it was announced that he would hold a recep tion, and tho crowd was asked to move back to give room for the hand shaking process. For five minutos ho grasped tho hands of great American citizens at tho into of 103 per minute, then the number per minute gradually lowered until ho was shaking hands at tho rato >f one every second. In fifteen min utes tho president's fuoo was covered with perspiration and ho was evidently tiring. For thirty-three minutes ho continued to shako hands with tho throng and to speak a pleasant word to many. Ho finally announced that ho was tired and this part of tho cere mony was cut short. Tho carriages for the party wero driven to tho stand and all wero taken to tho Piedmont dub, where an elegant luncheon was served. After tho luncheon tho president bo- gnn a tour of the grounds, visiting tho government building, tho main build ing, tho negro buildings, and inspect ing the exposition throughout. Homeward Hound. President Cleveland and tho mem bers of his cabinet left on a special tnaiu over tho Southern railroad for Washington at- 1- :58 o’clock Thursday morning.

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. The Industrial Condition as Reported for tho Cast Week. Favorable reports ns to southern in dustrial conditions during the past week indicate that tho largo specula tive movement in cotton has kept the market very active. Good judges bo- liovo that ootton is really worth from 8J lo 91 eonts, boonuso of the short crop, tho reports ns to which aro more unfavorable from day to day. Iron is steady and less active. Tho sales and deliveries havo prevented nny ac cumulation of pig iron in southern furnnoo yards, nnd tlio visible supply is not in excess of the regular wants of tho trade. Reports nro current as to largo additions to tho number of furnaces in tho Birmingham district, nnd furnaces continue to blow in, tho ftiruaco capacity not seeming to he lar ger than in required. Active specula tion in southern iron is much less no ticeable than it 1ms been, and tho reg ular trndo is doing a. very largo busi ness. Coke and coal nro growing steadily in demand. A firm coke and coal market is taking all shipments as sent forward, ami the great bulk of business ib based ou favorable con tracts. 'Textile mills nro renewedly active. The week’s report contains referenco to a $509,91)0 cotton mill at Newport News, Vn., of three addi tional ones to a cotton mill plant nenr Atlanta, On., a $150,000 mill at Aus tin, Texas, a large mill at Home, On., a $50,000 cotton and woolen mill at Oedartown, On., ami a woolen mill at Atlanta, On.

Controls tho Louisiana Stutd Demo cratic Committee. The democratic executive committee of Louisiana met at New Orleans Thursday with a full attendance and all the prominent democratic leaders from all over tho state in attendance. Those friendly to Governor Foster’s renomi nation held a caucus as also did those opposed to him, but tho deliber ations of both factions wero secret. It was pretty obvious that the governor’s friends had things their way. After roll call and preliminary work of organization the oommitteo pro ceeded to business, E. Howard Me- Caleb read n resolution calling for tho holding of a democratic primary elec tion on a future agreed date and place. Tho list as proposed was seconded by Mayor Fitzpatrick. It was proposed to accept the last United States census as a basis of population, one represen tative for every 2,000 and fractions over .000. Mr. Boatner moved an amendment, making tho basis of voting tho vote cast at tho election of March, 1892, on the white democratic votes cast and that tho result bo faithfully abided in by all and the successful candidate re ceive tho entire support of tho party. A spirited debate followed, but Mr. McOalob’s resolution prevailed by a large majority. This is a preliminary victory for Governor Foster. MISS HENDERSON DEAD.

Sir Charles Tupper was minister of marine and lisheries at tho time tho Canadian sealers wore seized by United States revouuo cutters and he has exhaustive information of tho circumstances. Sir Julian nnd the Canadian premier also havo hud long experience with the question. Sensation In Naval Circles. A sensation ill naval oircles has boon caused by tho announcement that Rear Admiral W. A, Kirkland, commanding tho European naval station of the United States, has been detached from duty nnd ordered homo. It is expected that Admiral Kirkland will apply at once to bo placed on tho retired list. Commodore Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr., will succeed him as commending officer of tho European slation. For some time pa t it lias been rumored that Secretary Herbert was not pleased with the conduct of Admiral Kirkland. Dissatisfaction was first enused by the action of the admiral in sending a lot- tor of congratulations on his election to L’rosident Enure, of France. Sec retary Herbert construed this as en tirely wrong, holding that tho official position of tho admiral, representing the dignity of tho United States navy in European waters, precluded him from making any comment whatever with reference to politics and sent a letter of reprimand. American Students Ha Lieutenant Commander Cowles, tho naval attache of tho United States embassy in London, has informed tho navy department that tho Itoyal School of Navul Architecture at Greenwich will hereafter decline to receive uny constructors of tho United States navy. No reason for this action iH assigned. Rost graduate courses for American constructors are still open at Glasgow and Baris and Cornell uni versity has recently added a similar course to Hh curriculum. The Glas gow school is a private institution and several members of tho construction corps of tho United States navy rc ceived advance training in lmval archi toeture there. At the navy depart ment several reasons nro attached to the action of the Greenwich establish inent, which is a government affair It is believed by some that tho real cause of the declination to receive any more constructors of our navy is a de sire on tin; part of tho British govern ment to prevent tho United States from obtaining plans from British ship builders. During the past twelve years tho United States government has sent to the Greenwich school graduates of tho naval academy at Annapolis who wero given appointments as assistant naval constructors, These have received valuable training and returned to the co f&dl Hammond, La., Galveston and Hills boro,’ Texas; woodworking plants at Woodstock, Ala., Onrey, N.

TRADE TOPICS. A WAR SCARE. •OKI’ THAT OLNEY HAS SENT AN ULTIMATUM Aiul that England Must Fight or Back Down. Washington enjoyed a go inline w»r senro Saturday us a result of a hcuhu- tional story printed in tho Washington Post, to the effect that tho npministra- tion had practically delivered an ulti mo in tn to the British government which left that government no alter native except to back down or light. According to tho Post, which some times gets some very valuable inside information, tho administration has taken a stalwart American posi tion relative to Venezuela. Until quite recently the administration was, to say tho least, unfortunate in the ex ecution of its foreign policy. Its atti tude toward Hawaii when its minister secretly conspired with a dissoluto and profligate queen to restoro her to a disgraced throne, naturally failed to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of a people whoso ancestors had re volted against tho tyranny of Goorgo nr. The affair at Coriuto was another chapter which the American people read with a burning sense of indigna tion. For tho present purposes of the ad vance ministration tho situation iiiiVon- ( zuchi is most opportune. It is hard ly necessary to repent that in that small and practically defenfeless republic Groat Britain has continued to nd- tho boundary lino of British Guiana until lobs than one-half of Venezuela now remains os undisputed territory. Not long ago tho Venezuelan gov ernment granted to American capital ists a most valuable concession to de velop a vast tract of land rich in miu- iralsaiid hard woods.

Desplto tte de nials which liavo been diplomatically made, tlioro is no doubt that Lord Salisbury bus protested that tho United Slutes is currying tho principle of tho Monroe dootrine to nn extout hitherto undreamed of. Thero is ground for such n protest. Mr. Olney has placed England in a position wliero sho imiHt i ither abandon her claim or sustain it with a show of force. Thero is no alternative. It can be positively asserted that tho administration i’k snblimoly indifferent to tho course which Great Britain in tends to pursue. Thero would bo glory enough, of course, if as tho sequonoo to tho firm position tho United Htatos hns assorted England should quiotly yield and roeognizo tho dominant power upon the wostorn hemisphere. But if, on tho other hand, England proposes to loavo tho question to tho arbitrament of war, then tlio adminis tration will bo ready to meet the issue. It is for tliiB that tho work upon tho Great Battle Is to Be Waged Between Now and 1896 For Free Coinage THE PEOPLE’S MONEY—tho coinage of both cohl aiul silver, without diacriiuina ■ tion, which means tho free coinage of hot > ns opposed to tho policy of contraction, which has been dictated by England and adopted in Washington, and which levies tributo on every product of tho farm, on valuations of all kinds nnd on all compensa tions for labor. THE GREAT ISSUE NOW is tho double standard against tho single standard—tho iiso of both gold and silver a* standard money metals against keeping the currency ol the couutry on the gold basis.
