BLAIR LEE MEETS HIS) FRIENDS Awards in Some of the Live Stock Classes. ANOTHER DAY ee Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 2.—Al- though the weather this morning threat- ered rain, there were early manifestations of a large crowd at the agricultural fair, and before 9 o'clock the roads leading to the grounds were crowded with vehicles of various descriptions, all filled with those anxious to seo the great fair. By 10 o'clock there was a gocd crowd in attendance, which was largely augmented by tho who came on special trains from Washing- ton and other points. At 12 o'clock there was a larger crowd in attendance than on any second day in the history of the so- ciety. Everything was in ‘irst-class condi- tion, and everybody appeared to be happy. The ladies were particularly in a sood humor, the rule of the managers allowing them until Wednesday to bring in their display of cut flowers. The grouping and arrangement occupied several hours, and when under their deft hands the beauties had taken the character of bouquets, baskets, plates and other designs, the effect was truly lovely. ‘The display embraced large and beautiful varieties of nastur- geraniums, begonias, roses, asters, ferns, fuschias, hydrangias, sweet scarlet sage, dried grass and other dahlia peas, sems of the floricultural clas In the exhibition hall a point of attrae- a stand oceupied by Miss Lillie L. grown of Washington, formerly of Harrisburg, Pa., a lady who has not the sse of her hands and arms, but who is able, by the aid of her toes and feet «lone, to write a beautiful nan’ and execute first. class work in crochet, emi fancy needlework, and who display of her work on exh Blair Lee Present About 11 a.m. Mr. Blair Lee, democratic candidate for Congress from the sixth dis- trict, made his appearance on the grounds, and was at once a person of interest, and was warmly greeted by his many friends from all over the county. He held guite an impromptu levee in front of the secretary's office, where hundreds took occasion to shake him by the hand, the crowd embri ing both his supporters and those who will Vote against him. Mr. Lee undoubtedly made a favorable impression upon the crowd by his open way of expressing his opinion. In stating his views on the pres- ent contest between the political parties he claims that in following the platform of the democracy as expressed at Chicago he is but paying attention to the teachings of his grandfather, the late Francis P. Blair, the sage of Silver Spring and the in- timate friend of President Andrew Jack- son, the great and successful opponent of the United States bank system. Mr. Lee ; chinks from the best information in his ossession that there is sufficient disaffec- ion in the republican party of the sixth congressional district on the money ques- tion to warrant him in a strong hope of election. He claims to be allied to no faction of the democratic party, and, if elected, no man’s man. When it was intimated to him that there was an idea extant that he running simply to advance the inter- sts of Senator Gorman and his followers he promptly dented the soft insinuation, broadly asserting the belief that perhaps mater was sifted to the bottom the hed Senator would not be found a genuine free silver advocate, as he had heretofore figured on both sides of the question. Mr. Lee states that he will can- s the entire congressional _ district, speaking at all prominent points.

PewWhile the trend of opinion as to the can- didates was toward Bragg and Buckner during the early morning;'there were still many vigorous for others; and it was cu- rious and rather numorous to see the way in which records were ‘pulled to pieces which were in silver flaws’in gold candi- dates. The largest estimate of a crowd this morning was made by a railroad man, who asserted there were six thousand visitors in the city, delegates and strangers. Of this estimated crowd Chicago furnished a large proportion, including the Cook County Marching Club, about 200 strong, the only uniformed club in town. An effort was made to force General Bragg out of the presidential race, in favor of Senator Vilas of the same state. Many delegates, believing Senator Vilas the strongest candidate, have tendered him their support, and other delegates have withheld expressing opinions until some definite arrangement can be made, and a determination reached as to whether or not Bragg will retire in favor of Senator Vilas. The Senator has said that he could not be a candidate, as General Bragg was a candidate from his own State. The dele- gates who are in the movement to secure Gragg’s withdrawal in favor of Vilas will not present the name of General John C. Black of Illinots if General Bragg remains in the field. Black’s name will be presented by the Illinois delegation, which would no doubt vote for Vilas in case Bragg is out of the field. A conference of leaders will be held during the day to determine, if possible what action shall be taken as to a candi: date, and to bring about a situation which will secure the nomination of a strong tick- et with practical unanimity A s jonal stary was printe in a morning paper here which if true. would have completely closed the Bragg boom. In effect the story ran that iate last night ome of Mr. Bragy’s friends had discovered that no longer ago than 1893 Gen, Brage was for free silver, ayd had written a let- ter in support of his views, and that they had decided to drop him and take up Sena- tor Vilas or Gen. Black of Illinots. The story proved to be a canard, Senator Vilas was seen thi would stake my homestead, morning. “I said he, “on T™my conviction that there is absolutely no truth In the story. Gen. Bragg voted for the experiment of the Bland-Allison act in iSTS, and he wi then in the best of demo- cratic company, Judge Thurman, and. in fact almost every democrat in Congress voted for that experiment, but since then jen. Bragg has been absolutely sound on the money question. W consin, Senator Vilas concluded, “is for Brag will con- tinue to be for him.” Gen. Bragg, himself, was seen a moment later, and when informed of this report, ejaculated characteristically: “Oh, fiddle. sticks. There is not a word of truth in it. My action eighteen years ago is the only thing that can be brought against me. It is not probable,” said he, “that a man who had to pay a 40 per cent premium for United States money when he crossed the border of frce-silver Mexico would write a letter after that experience for a silver standard.” CONVE ION PROCEEDIN rt of the Action of the ering. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September Promptly at 11 o'clock the doors leading to Tomlinson Hall were opened, but admis- sion was confined under strict orders to ticket helders. They arrived rather slow- ly at first. Ejaculations of surprise were heard as the early comers surveyed the beautiful decorations of the hall.

The entrance of Iowa brought the dele- gates to their feet’ The “What's the mat- ter?” man was present and kept the dele- gates and galleries busy. As the hands of the clock pointed to high noon, Senator Palmer of Illinois, chairman of the national ccmmittee, made his way through the hall to the stage. The galleries were then about half filled and the main body of the dele- gates were in their seats, About 20 per cent of those in the galleries were ladies. Gilded Alligator. The appearance of the Florida delegation, headed by two burly negroes, one carrying a Cleveland banner and the other a gilded alligator, labeled “Florida's gold bug," pro- duced quite a flurry of enthusiasm, but was drowned in the thunderous applause which greeted the New York delegation. Headed by ex-Governor Flower and Gen- eral Tracy they marched to their seats seventy-two strong to continuous hand- clapping. Each delegate had in his but- torhole a spray of golien.rod. The New England delegations, with many conspicuous men among them, were also warmly received. Massachusetts carried two silk American flags and a state ban- ner. Ex-Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio took his place on the platform with Mr. Byr.um and Secretary Wilson. Among the distinguished visitors in the seats in the rear of the stage were John W. Bullitt of Pennsylvania, R. T. Tyler of Kentucky, who was a candidate for lieutenant gov- ernor with P. Wat Hardin a year ago; Dr. Everett of Massachusetts, Mrs. John M. Palmer, and many others. Called to Order. Senator Palmer rose at 12:30 and struck the gavel. Thereupon most of the dele- getes jumped to their feet, shouting and waving their state banners, ending the demorstration, which wag brief, by three ckeers. 7 Senator Palmer, in calling the convention to order, said: “Gentlemen: I have the honor for a moment to preside over the first national democratic corvention, held in the 1896. (Cheers.) The gavel will be in my hands fur but a moment. We are assem- bled here for lofty, noble and patriotic pur- peses. (Cheers.) Our earnest desire is to serve our country. (Cries of ‘Right, right,’ and cheers.) And in the sincerity of that earnest purpose we may appeal to the Juege of all hearts. (Applause.) We may appeal to the Great Master, the Great Gov- error. I beg you row to listen to an invo- ‘tion by Lishop White of the diocese of Indiana.” Bishop White, a smooth-faced, spec- tacled man, read a brief prayer from writ- ten manuscript held between the pages of a prayer book. After the prayer, for which the delegates arose, Senator Palmer announced that the 11 secretary would read the call for the con- vention, and ex-Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio, who came forward for the purpose, was recognized by a breezy outburst of hand clapping. This applause punctuated every telling point of the call during its reading, and the statement that the Chicago platform was not entitled to the support of the true democrats. In reading the refer- ence to Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland Mr. Outhwaite put particular stress upon Mr. Cleveland’s name, and brought the del- egates to their feet with a tribute of cheers louder than any which had gone before. During the reading the Chicago Marching Club filed into the gallery with about fifty members In line. Calling the States. A call of states to ascertain the represen- tation followed. Colorado answered, “A solid delegation of one.” For California John P. Irish answered, “Here,” his col- leagues having been delayed by a railroad accident. Montana being called, one gen- tleman rose, announcing “A solid delega- tion; here it 1s.” At the call of New York her seventy-two representatives stood up in a compact group in the left-hand section of the hall, with a shout, ‘We are here, which inspired cheers. Ohio and Pennsyl- vania also testified to their presence by rising. Maryland’s spokesman said, “All here, heart and soul,” and General Bragg of Wisconsin, declaring the presence of her full delegation, added, “And they are all democrat = “Honest money and honest government, was the contribution of Oregon. i Four of the western group, Idaho, Ne- Utah and Wyoming, were the only states whose names passed unanswered.

CAPITOL TELEGRAPH LINE. Col. Wilson Will Replace the Old Poles G Street With New Ones. Col. Wilson, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, will shortly begin the erection of a rew line of telegraph poles for wires connecting the Capitol and executive departments of the government. The main line of this service extends along G street from 15th to Sth streets; thence north on Sth to H street; then in an easter- ly direction to North Capitol strect; thence to the Capitol on the latter street. The wires are now strung so that they run in the tops of trees, zreatly impairing the ser- vice. The poles to take the place of the old ones, which are badly rotted, will be sixty and seventy feet long, which’ will place the wires far abdve the foliage of the trees. On G street between 9th and 10th streets the poles will be removed from the north to the south side of the street to prevent interference with the Western Union poles. The poles are now being received here, and the werk will soon he begua, The work of placing a low about Hancock Circle at Pennsylvania avenue and Tth street will soon he commenced.
