Yells ot Old Rebels Hare Fire
and Vigor.
Louisville, May 30.?Surround
ed by waving banners bearing the
fiery cross of the Confederacy listening
to the cheers from the
throats of 3,000 men who wore
the gray and confronted by the
waving handkerchiefs of hun
dreds ot ladies, Gen. John B.
Gordon, commander of the United
Confederate veterans today for
mally opened the tenth annual
reunion of the order which in
point of attendance is already the
largest ever held.
ah mings conspired to make
the occasion a success with the
exception of the weather which
was about as disagreeable as it
well could be. All through the
early hours of the morning the
rain came down in sheets.
For an hour previous to the
time sot for the opening of the
meeting the veterans and their
friends made their way in a
steady stream to the hall and by
11.30 it was well filled. A portion
of the Georgia delogation,
headed by a drum corps, came
marching in making the building
ring with martial music and calling
forth cheers from those assembled
in the hall.
A veteran from Georgia waked
the crowd to genuine enthusiasm
when he came in carrying the old
battle tlag of the Third Georgia
infantry. Scarcely had he taken
his seat, when the band struck up
"Dixie" and then came the old
rebel yell, and it came with a
fire and vigor that never was
surpassed during the days of the
war.
On the platform beside Gen.
Poyntz were Gen. S. B. Buckner,
uev. J. wiuiam .Jones, Hon. J. 11.
Reagan, the only surviving member
of the cabinet of Jefferson
Davis; Gen. VV. T. Cabell, Gen.
J. H. West, Col. Thos. W. Bullitt,
Col. B. II. Young, Rev. Carter II.
Jones, Dr. B. M. Palmer and
others.
The mayor, .whose speech was
received with much applause was
followed by Col. Thos. F. Bullit,
who welcomed the visitors to
IiOuisville in behalf of the board
of trade of this city. The.Rev.
Carter Jones extended the wel
come in behalf of the Commercial
club of this city.
While he was in the midst of
his address the A. P. Hill camp
of Petersburg, Va , came into the
hall headed by a fife and drum
corps which created such a noise)
that it was impossible for M
Jones to coutinue. Speech
were made by Col. Attilla Co
Chief Justice Ilarzelrigg, Ge
Buckner and Col. Bennett 1
Young.
At the conclusion of his a
dress, Col. Young turned to Ge
Gordon and handed him the ke
of the building which had bet
erected for the reunion.
Gen. Gordon was visibly movi
by the reception he met with ai
for several minutes stood bowii
his thanks. When quiet was r
stored again he spoke as followi
General, Mr. Mayor and Gentl
men of the Reception Coi
mittees :
No man is gifted enough, ai
no words are strong enough
tell Kentuckians what we feel
this hour, and how deeply i
feel it. Shall I say for my coi
rades and myself that we a
grateful, profoundly gratefu
That would be, in the presence
such a demonstration, the mere
commonplace, the needless slat
ment of a patent fact, which y<
already know or can plinly re
in these moistened eyes ai
quivering lips. Shall I tell yi
that we are amazed, that *
were unprepared for such a d
play, such exuberance of hosj
talitv, such warmth and prodigi
ity of welcome? I cannot s;
that for it would be untrue. V
knew besorenand what to expe
of this great-hearted people.
Your distinguished fellow ci
zen,Ool. Bennett Young, who w
the selected mouthpiece of yo
delegates, had assured us in tl
city of Charleston in words ferv
and eloquent, that if we wou
come to Louisville, Kentucky
homes and hearts, Kentucky
wealth, the products of her un
valed pastures, her tenderc
lambs and fattest beeves and t
contents of her graneries, trar
mitted by Kentucky magic in
liquid corn and rye?that j
these should be ours, the suppc
and the solace, the meat and tl
drink of these battle-worn met
We have come to find not on
that it is true, but that the hi
had not been told. What can
say, then, what can any man si
to do to represent to this peop
the responsive echoes of o
deeply stirred sensibilities? ii
possessed the mystic power
catch and transmit into bur
ing sentences the thoughts
these brains and the rythm
these hearts, 1 might hope to gi
you some conception of our a
preciaticn of this Keutucl
greeting. Why has not some K
ison or some gifted scientu
moved by a genius divine, i
vented some means of phot
graphing human emotions? W1
did not that crafty delver in
nature's secrets, who discovert
the X rays, give us a double ]
rav, powerful enough to expo
to Kentucky's view the emotin
of these men? If such an instr
ment were at your command tl
morning, you would see inscribe
upon these hearts, in indelhh
letters, the beloved names
Kentucky.
The truth is gentlemen, th
vour State holds a plane amoi
her sisters that is not only uniqu
but decidedly picfi:r? que.

Tuesday. There will be no o

All planB for opposing Bryi
in the national convention we
founded on the hostility of t
New York delegation and tt
having been removed the co

The conferences held by t
opponents of the plan to instru

Ve scene I did, when a regular old- i
ct time South Carolina darkey, clad *f
in a typical red shirt, drove the
horse hose wagon ol the Camden
as tire department, handling a mag- ]
ur nitioent pair of blooded horses *
he with that rare skill and tact that \
id oi\ly a born coachman and hostId
ler can do, winning the second ,
prize in a contest over the other ?
^.8 crack teams of both States.

in his honor, given him by the <
lg_ members of the Camden coiuto
pany, composed as it is ol the
?11 high-bred South Carolinians, com- -j
irt ing as they do from a Slate where <
he the negro is supposed to be a non>
entity, would have been a comly
plete answer to all malignors, and
j have proved that the negro who J
is content to fill the place in I
^ human affairs lor which he is by '
ur birth and nature fitted, will al- ,
f i ways command the confidence
to and even afTeclion of his white
n- friends.
of The old darkey received his J
of honors with marked modesty, |
v? though he doubtless honestly
P* thought he was a greater hero '
iy than Dewey was at Manila, while |
his white friends seemed as
though they could not do enough
for him. ,

to was an object lesson of its kind. '
