Talking of the republican platform of Mr. Bryan said: I am glad to notice an improvement lnil lows politics.

People who furnish campaign funds the party arc the ones who name your attorns. general and these having authority. They don't want your money out hftfe; they want your votes.

August The eve of the coronation of King Edward VII was wandered all the evening somewhat aimlessly through the seml llhimlnated streets.

Down Whitehall, where the" Canadian arch was the center of attraction, around Westminster Abbey and along the Strand the sidewalks were blocked with the expectant populace. The people were deterred from any signs of rowdyism by the acute recollection of the recent postponement of the coronation, and thoae who had seen the unrestrained exhibition which occurred upon the slightest pretext during war times could not fail to notice the different temperament shown tonight With a few exceptions it might well have been said of the metropolis of the empire that it was living up to the national reputation of taking its pleasures somewhat sadly. he absence of blatant horns and sn noyibg features was pleasantly atoned for by the lighting up of many buildings. The brilliancy of the illumination held the country visitors to the city so spellbound that vehicular traffic became more and more, difficult as the night wore oh. Until a very late hour the stand tors did a thriving business and around those stands occupying good locations there were lines people anxious to get seats at the last moment.

Many of the thousands who walked through Use streets exhibited unmistakable signs of an intention to sit up all night In the bopo of securing a free coign of vantage from which to view tomorrow's procession.

It Is probable that within the next two or three days Governor Candler will bo asked to disband the Gate City Guard at the request of a majority of the officers of Fifth regiment.

The grounds on which disbandment will be regl showlng be made to the governor and adjutant general to the effect that the company Is an Ineffectual military organization; that certain ir radlcable factions exist among the members, which make harmony Impossible, Snd that the best Interests of the company would be eubeerved by disbanding it. This conclusion was reached at a se cret meetlny of a number of efileonMtffthe regiment held night, and the plan ws confirmed at a meeting held yesterday morning. It Is said that Governor Candler has been approached on the subject, and. after going over all the details, the opinion that disbandment would, under the circumstances, be the best thing for the regiment and all concerned. The Of fleers Present Those present at the of jrhnrsday night and Friday morning UWenant' Colonel CH flerson, KeglflMOKST further Barker.

Major Pat Captain BttzeH. Sffbrt was made fa keep the subject matter of the eonfefenlijfc secret, but fn way It leaked oSf the alfcsbeorhlng topic of conversation In military circles None dfc'tbose. who attended. the conference win talk, but other members of the regiment are free in expressing their views, and seem to that disbandment Is practically an assured fact. If Governor Candler decides to disband the Gate City the charges now pending against Captain James F.

O'Xein. which have not yet reached the governor, will fall to the ground without further action. The desire on the part of the officers to have the guard disbanded had. its origin In various causes and was brought to a direct head when the recent fight on Cant. Tin O'Neill was made.

It Is saU that. if.Js Impossible to bring spirit of harmony among the members under sue present and without a better feeling the company will be continually rent asunder with factionar differences which now destroy Its usefulness. Hay Be Reorganised, there is little doubt that an Immediate effort will be made to reorganise thi company along lines which will Insure" a more hartnonlotis feeling. Just how Governor Candler would look on such an effort cannot, of course, be forecasted In advance of probable ibandroent, but It Is thought that if the proper showing can be made he will give his consent. The disbandment of the Gate' City Guar would be but one of many sensational' chapters In.

the career of a company which began fighting during the civil war and has consistently kept it up ever since." During the past twenty years it has been a dull month In the calendar which did not record some suggestion of an internecine and a history of these brushes would fill a book chock foil of bloodless battles. For years the newspapers have looked on the Guard as about the 11 vest wire in the trolley system, and enough articles have been written about It to make gun wadding for a brigade. Barrels of oil have been poured on the troubled waters at various Intervals In the company's history, but the surface of things did not remain serene for any length of time. It Is difficult for a military man who has been in the habtt of having a real red hot time to content himself In the prosaic oaths of peace. It but, the lusty lungs of some disgruntled private to start something, and It was soon a caae of "8wim out.

O'Grady." with the captain. Just why this state of, affairs should exist Is difficult to explain, but the facts are generally admitted. An. Old Company. The Gate City Guard is the oldest end best known company In this section of the state and has numbered among its officers and members some of the principal business men of Atlanta.

The company was organised in 1856 ind during the war volunteered for service. At that time the captain was Harvey Thompson. At" the close of the wsr Captain' Esza.rd was in command. The company did gallant service and saw man hard fought battles. Only recently its bul let scarred nag.
