LEE’S OLD ARMY.
THE HOYS IN GJtAY ARE WARCHING
ON TO BIRMINGIIAjU.
THE PROGRAMME MADE OUT IN FULL
Their Grand Reunion - Heroes of a Hundred
Itattka Will Gather Under the Rig
Tent This Week.
The stars and bars will soon be waving
over Birmingham!
Back to the flagstaff once more the boys
in gray are marching, and never was there
i such a rallying of southern soldiery since
I the immortal Lee sheathed his worthy
blade and furled the proud old banner as
the old fellows will have this week in the
! “Magic City” of the new south.
Tlie interest runs high. The hearts of all
brave heroes of the south are beating fast
' with expectancy. The old banner is once
more unfurled and the call drums are
sounding. The boys in gray are on the
march!
Fifty thousand confederate veterans will
be in line at the grand reunion in Birming
ham.
It will be the happiest day the vets have
' had since they once found pleasure in the
i very hardships they endured.
On to Birmingham the heroes of a hun
i dred battles are moving.
Somciliing About the Association.
This is the fourth annual convention of
the United Confederate Veterans’ Associa
tion and gives promise to be the grandest
reunion the old soldiers in gray have ever
: exprienced. Since the organization of the
| association a number of years ago it has
continually increased its membership until
now There arc -i'o camps. These camps are
: established in all of the southern states
and indeed, many of the northern states.
Every one of the camps will be represented
at the Birmingham reunion.
Following is a list of camps by states:
: Texas 131, Alaoama 72, 47,
IxTiiisiana 31, Arkansas 31, Kentucky 27.
! South Carolma 27, Florida 2ti, Georgia 21,’
Tennessee 17, North Carolina 11. Virginia
I 10, Oklahoma 4. .Missouri 3, Indian Territory
2. Illinois 2, Distinct of Columbia J, West
i Virginia 1.
It is estimated by those who have reason
to know what they are talking about that
rl \
1 -‘S
Lieutenant general, s. d. i.ee.
there will be fully 40,000 veterans under the
b.g tent when rhe roll is called in Birm
ingham. There was never a time since the
kettle drum was muffled at Appamattox
that the confederate soldiers who ploughed
their was through the risky furrows of
war fell such interest and such pride in the
memories of the past, and such enthusiasm
to perpetuate those memor.es, as they do
just now. They propose to make this the
grandest gathering of southern soldiery
since Robert E. Lee dismissed them on the
bloody Held of battle. They propose to
form in line once more, just as they fell in
i line when the drum tup one- call.- 1 Hiem
: from the barracks along the rising hill and
' sunny slopes of Virginia and from out the
l valleys and plains of old Georgia.
There will be a great army of the old
boys in Birmingham, and such another
■ hand-shak.ng- an 1 back slapping they will
j have! It will quite remind them of the
dear old days of the past. There will be
: the man from T.-xas and the man from
Virginia: the man from Kentucky and the
man from Georgia, embracing the four
quarters of tin- old southt rn < onfederaey,
all Shaking hands and telling stories of
: the days when they were soldiers under
- the same flag.
There is something pathetic about these
! reunions. So many years have been roiled
. back by Father Time since the stars and
! bars went down that there is not a man
i of those brave h- roes who bowed their
: heads at the bidding of Lee but treads
: feebly now with age. Their hairs are
! white with the frost from the almond tree,
! and many of them are standing today upon
- the br.nk of th-- g'rave. They have grown
i old m the service and many of them are
falling out of line day after day. crossing
I over the river to join Lee and Jackson in
that better land, where tiie toar of artillery
is nev.-i le-ard anti the drum tap never
- sottnded. How interesting, n.iy, how thrill-
■ ing then, must bo the proceedings of these
■ reunions from year to year. What a charm
: there must be about them, for the old fel
i lows who once trod wearily, but bravely,
j in the trail of the war flag’s d--adly course.
They get together and talk about the war;
' they revive all of the old memories they
■ hold so dear, tell the same old stories they
i used to tell lying around the camp tires, re
' cal! the hardships they used to endure,
, laugh over those hardships as though they
■ were mere jokes, and in line, live over the

old days in merriment and fun until they
almost wish they wore once more touching
elbows and marching along by the side of
their old comrades lor the cause tlu-y loved
: so well—not that they would fight that
war over again, but that they would enter
once more into the spirit of comradeshap
they once enjoyed.
While there is the practical side to the
• executive sessions of these reunions, who
v. iii gainsay or l-ny that tin- sentimental
' s.de is the chief aiid most striking one?
- This convention of southern heroes will lie
the last reunion many of them will ever
have on earth, ib-w many ther-’ are who
will gather at Birmingham and clasp hands
| with their old comrades lor the first time
since those terrible days when the cruel
• ravages of civil war swept over th.- smiling
I valleys of the south. How many, too, will
clasp hands there for the last time on
! earth. How many, who as boy friends in
- the dreadful days of the sixties, will meet
: face to face at the encampment in Birm-
- Ingham as old men. There will be the man
! who gave his right arm for the cause he
! loved so well, and there will be the man
! who lost his leg in the bloody conflict still
I alive to hurl their hearts once more into a
. marching tirocession of confederate soldiers.
The war is over in the south, and surely
- ought to be ov<r in the north; but so long
i as patriotism lives in the hearts of both
; north and south just so long will the com
i bined powers of earth be aimless to rob
these annual reunions of both sotrthern and
i northern soldiers of their sentiment and
the blesse-l memories they revive. Tt is
I mere nonsense for the southerner or the
j northerner to talk about forgetting the
> past. So long as American patriotism lasts
! just so long will it be the worthiest duty
of the confederate and tinidn soldier alike,
to perpetuate the heroic deeds of valor
handed down to them by the cohorts of
martyrs now sleeping peacefully beneath
the sod to the north and to the south of
Mason and Dixon’s line.
What They Will Do.
. There ore some very important business
I matters that will come up before the execu
tive session of the reunion, which may he
liriefly outlined as follows: First, to pro
vide, through state legislation, for the care
of the disabled and aged widows and or
phans of the confederate soldiers. Second,
for securing impartial history relating to
the war and to encourage each state to pre
serve the history of its citizen soldiery.
Third, to care for the known and unknown
dead buried at Gettysburg, Oakland ceme
tery of Chicago, Johnson's .sland and other
places of interment and to see that the
graves of the dead are annually decorated
and their headstones preserved. Fourth, to
GENERAL W. L. CABEL.
discuss the many plans that have been
named for the building of a monument to
the memory of Jefferson Davis, president
of the confederacy.
It Is believed that a movement will be put
on foot to secure a handsome pension from
all of the states composing the late con
federacy for Mrs. Jefferson Davis. The '
laying of the corner stone of a large con
federate monument in Capital park, Birm
ingham. will take place on the afternoon
of the 2Gth- Memorial Day. Gene al
Stephen D. Lee. of Starkesville, Miss., will
be the orator of the day. General John B.
Gordon, commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans’ Association, now
United States senator from Georgia, will
preside over the deliberations of the con
vention.

denounced him by name. He cared not for
these lies.
tn speaking of the condition of the couu
try, he said:
"The people in the cities do not fully
understand the distress which exists in the
country. Today a gentu-man told me
i tJiat on yesterday there- was- a Kolb meel
■ ing of 2,out) people at Wedowee.
“Why were these people out?
"Tney are in distress, and they know It,
and they feel that if they cannot help them
selves they want to hurl somebody else.
"These men are good men.
"They are the white men who saved the
white people of Alabama by voting for
Houston in 1874, and their assistance may
be needed again.
"It will be needed in August!
‘‘How ean you get it'. By continued
abuse? No, not at ail. But their assis
tance must be had if we want to save the
State.
“The use of the multiplication table must
cease.”
The senator made a plea for the reunion
of democratic party of the state, and
s that he felt that more good or bad
vv.juld come to the state of Alabama from
who would be the next governor ot Ala
bama. than would be produced by all the
presidential elections tor the next twenty
live years.
Scores Old Miss Aniiey Again.
Senator Morgan took up the arraignments
made on him by The Montgoemry Adver
tiser, and answered them seriatim. He
paid special attention to the charge that
was maue that he had slanoered the demo
i cratic party in saying on the floor of the
senate that the nomination by the national
convention ot a man inimical to silver
was procured b.v the use ol money. lie
answered it b.v 'reading letters ami state
ments from Senators Hili, Brice and Al
drich, that these were facts which were
known to them. The answer to this charge
of The Advertiser was conclusive and con
vincing, and was delivered without any
show of bitterness of vindictiveness.
The crowd ranged from one thousand to
twelve hundred and there was never a more
enthusiastic audience gathered in the city
to hear a public speech since the war.
WOULD NOT INDORSE.
The Tennessee Democrats -Meet and Do Not
Indorse the Administration.
Nashville, Tenn., April IS. -(Special.)—The
democratic state convention to nominate
five candidates for justices of the supreme
court met here today. The c invention wa.s
one of the most representative ever nelit
here and broke the record in the wa.v < t
expediting business, being in session only
three hours and ten minutes.
Being a judicial convention, the party
leaders deemed it best to eschew politics,
but it was apparent tl.at only by smoth
ering it in committee was the convention
prevented from adopting a resolution
condemning the course of President Cleve
land on the silver question, the convention
did not indorse the administration.
The convention met at noon and Hon.
, Joshua W. Caldwell, of Knoxville, was
I made temporary chairman. The committee
! on credentials and permanent organization
was named and a recess taken.
When the convention reassembled tne re-
I port of the committee on permanent or
ganization w-is adopted making Hon. Luke
E. Wright, of Memphis, permanent chair
man, and George NV. Ochs, of Chattanoog i,
secretary. The committee’s report also au
thorized' the permanent chairman to ap
point a committee on resolutions of one
member from co - h congressional district, to
which should be referred all resolutions
without debate. This was adopted, as was
a provision that the ballot be taken lor all
live nominees at one time.
Resolutions were then declared in order
and the names of the six candidates were
placed before the convention. ’The roll was
called with the following result: I’. L..
Snodgrass, of Hamilton; NV. C. Caldweit,
of Weakley, and W. D. Beard, ot Shelby,

I’flieSa's Hon < . A. Collier President
The exposition officers have been named,
‘ a permanent organization has been pcr
i fected, and now the work of carrying into
J effect the plans of .he projectors is to be
pushed f-irward with greatest vigor.
I ‘ Th" meeting es the exposition board yes
terday afternoon was a. highiy import.mt
; one, especially so on account of the selec- |
tion of oil; ers and the otner steps that were
taken, perfecting the permanent organiza-
! ‘'"'n’was found, as will be fully explained
i-i the report of the committee, that i’rest
' dent Hemphill and .Secretary Cabaniss were
not abb- to accept the positions which they
i have so ably tilled in the temporary organi
zation, and th" gentlemen selected to nl.
: th.’ important offices of president and secivi
! tary are Mr. t’. A. ('ollie:' and General J. R.
1 , [vis. Better selections could not have
been made. With the executive ollieets
chosen bucked bv and aided by the splen
i dd board of directors, into whose hands
•' the exposition has been placed, the success
i of tin.- enterprise is absolutely assured.
The Comm• ttec Makes Ils Report.
I The call of the roll showed that a large
I majority of the members of the board were
! present'at 4 o'clock Tmirsday aLcrr.oon
' Chairman Hemphill presided at the meet
in-. and Mr. Cabaniss acted as secretary.
. . The first business was the report ot the
committee on permanent organization, ot
i 1 >r. R. I>. Spal ling was chairman.
. In .submitting his report, Dr. Spalding gave
. : u few words of explanation tn behalt of
. i the committee, stating that President Hemp- ,
hill and Secretary Cabaniss had censm. 1
with the committee, and had stated in at
' it wo-.ild be impossible for 'ln-»i to devote
■ - to th • movement the time which they dee,n-
- - ed necessary and to be expected ot the
, . p,,.si-leut and the secretary. Iho b.g con
, <-,.l -l.Hiun of hanking interests which had
; recently occurred and of which Mr. Ilemp-
I ‘ hill was president, would require praett-
i cully all of his time, and Mr. Cabaniss
■ i j la ,f found that it was necessary tor him
• to ••■ive his time to h’s newspaper, and that
it would ho Impossible, therefore, lor them
to Im.d these offices in the permanent
or-aiezation. They had acted with the com
» ittee in the selection of their successors,
and had heartily endorsed the selection
i which the committee had made.
With this preliminary, Dr. Spalding read

the following as the committee’s report,
and moved its adoption:
“Your committee, charged with the duty
of nominating permanent officers for the
exposition, felt 'hat a serious responsi
bility was imposed on them. The conclusion
forced itself upon us that it wouid require
all the time of its principal officers. Had
this fact not been so apparent, their choice
could have been quickly made.
“We had in President Hemphill and Secre
tary Cabaniss men in every way worthy
and competent for the positions they held
in the temporary organization, and alto
gether suitable for the permanent pl.ices,
but a conference with these gentlemen de
veloped the fact that their engagements
were such that they could not give their
entire t.rne to the work. They both begged
us to do what was best for the interests
of the expoy’tion, and offered freely and
willingly to work in any way, or in any
position for the advancement of the enter
prise.
“They unselfishly urged us to understand
that no consideration of a mere personal
nature should enter into our deliberations,
and that they proposed to work tor this
great movement whenever and wherever
this board could best utilize the time they
might be able to give from their busy fives.
"In presenting the names below, this com
mittee feels that the time and services of
men who are second to none in the country
can be secured, and that under their ad
m'nistration there is every reason to be
lieve the best results can be obtained, and
the exposition made to realize our mosh,
singuine expectations. In a conference
with Mr. Collier, we were assured that he
was willing to devote his entire time to the
work and to make any sacrifice to insure
the success of the exposition.
"Could we have had such assurance or ser
vice from Mr. Hemphill, ,as before seated
in this report, we would gladly hav_ In ior
o-l him with the permanent pres deney of
me organization, and we are highly giati
tied to report that Mr. Hemphill cord.ally
approves of the selection of I lie gentlemen
nominated by us, as he recognizes the ;
very essential importance ot .the principal ;
officers of the exposition giving their en
tire time to the work. . j
“Your committee, therefore, makes tnu :
following nominations:
For Fresident-C. A. Collier.
First Vice President—W. A. Hemphill.
Second Vice President—H. H. Cabaniss.
Third Vice President—NV. D. Grant.
Director General—li. K. W. Palmer.
Treasurer —A. L. Kontz.
Secretary—J. It. Jvis.
Auditor--Alex \V. Smith.
General Counsel—J. J. Spablin.tr.
sir. lletuphiH Einiorses It.
As soon as Dr. Spalding had completed liis
'report, Mr. llcinphili arose and said: T
desire to most heartily second the nomina
tions made by the committee. I went into
this movement,” continued he, “not de
siring position, but simply in the hoi ? that
I might aid in building up a movement
which I am certain will result in great good
to the city and the country. 1 believe this
exposit.on is going to be the most important
thing that has ever happened for the good
of Atlanta, and 1 am sure it is go-ug to oe
a success. When 1 first accepted the ehair
manstrp, t thought it would lie rather a
nominal position, and I believed that 1
would lie able to devote tile necessarj- t.me
to it; but as it has grown. I have real.zed
that to fill the position properly (lie presi
dent will have to devote practically all of
his time to the work. This it would be im
poss.ble for me to do, especially in the
light "1' tin- increase of work and responsi
bility which lias come to me on account of
recent business changers, of which you are
all familiar. I thought then that the bur
den of all this would fall upon the shoul
ders of your director general, but the de
velopments have shown that the work must
not rest entirely on any one man's shoul
ders, and that a very great deal of it must
necessarily belong to the man whom you
choose as your presi-'ent.
“Now, we have here the best board of
directors 1 have ever seen. With this board,
1 am sure that success would come to any
enterprise, and especially do 1 feel certain
that the success will lie u paired if you
have at your head a man like Mr. Collier,
who is active and energetic, and in every
way capable, and who has the time to devote
to the work. Mr. Collier is my warm friend,
and t take pleasure in saying that he is
the best 'man you could put in that posi
tion. It gives me great pleasure to second
the nomination of th- committee far as
it refers to him and to each of the other
gentlemen whom they have nominated.”
Mr. < iitmniss’s Hearty Enilersi’tii<■ <it.
Mr. Cabaniss also seconded the nomina
tion in a very timely speech on the same
line. U ■ said that lie had given his time
cheerfully during tlic lempo'-ary organiza
tion, feeling that, it was his duty to do so,
and he now was glad • to do anything in
tils power to aid in tie- movement, but be
had taken the secretaryship with tlie express
stipula’ion that it should b-’ simply tempor
ary. and he could not in justice to his busi
ness interests accept the permanent secre
taryrhip. “I am glad.” said he. “t >nd
A Rising Vote of Thanks.
Mr. S. M. Inman moved that, before the ;
thanks to tin- temporary chairman and ;
temporary secretary for the splendid work i
tii y have already done in behalf of the
enterprise. There w- re seconds to this
motion from all parts of the room, and '
when Mr. Inman put the motion, every i
member <-x- -pt the two mentioned rose,
and the vote was unanimous. Then the
vote on the committee’s report was taken, ;
the directors, by a ris.ng vote, express their :
vote was taken on the committee’s report,
and it was promptly adopt -d.
Colonel Avery Cliosen.
Director General Balmer reported that
act.ng under instruction of the list meet
ing, lie and the temporary president hud
appointed Colonel I. W. Avery to take
charge of the matter of securing the en

The appointment is to cover a period of

WANTS ALL EQUAL.
Mr. Patterson’s Bill to Amend Acts of
States’ Admissions.
Washington, April 19.—Mr. Pattersen, of
Tennessee, by request, introduced in the
house today a bill amending the acts es
congress admitting the states of Arkansas,
North and South Carolina. Louisiana, Geor
gia, Alabama, Florida, Virginia and Alis
sissippi so as to repeal each and all pro
visions of the acts which relate to the
elective franchise and the right to hold office
and the publication pert lining to the school
ri hts and privileges. The seeond section
of the bill provides that all conditions men
tioned in each and all of these acts, and |
particularly those provisions known and
designated as “fundamental conditions” are
repealed. The third section provides that
the states are declared to have and possess
all the rights, power, franchises and sover
eignty that can be exercised by any other
state of the union. The fourth and last
section provides that all laws and parts
of laws which deny th? equality of these
severally with other states’ functions are
Tell; aied.
The bill was drawn by T. B. Egerton, of
Memphis, a lawyer and great stuns' rights
man, and introduced at his request.
Mr. Egerton thinks that certain condi
tions imposed by the acts admitting these
states reflect on the state and infringe their
lights, and the is anxious to have the
southern states on the same footing with
those of the north and west.
