' NOT IN FAVOR.
GROVER RECEIVED COLDLY
AT ATLANTA.
THE PRESIDENT SPEECH.
People Fail to Grow Entliusias
tic Over His Appearance at
the Exposition.
From The Chicago Times-Herald.
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 23 —President
Cleveland has gone. He spen. thir
ty-two hours in Atlanta, found the
hospitality of the southern people
all that it has ever been painted, but
discovered alto that the pulse of the
populace did not quicken at the
sound of his name as in the old days,
or as it does to-day in many northern
cities. Seldom has a President of
the United States visited any section
of the country and found crowds
more eager to see him and less dem
onstrative upon his appearance. It
was believed, however, that his ap
pearance at the exposition to-day
would be the signal for an ovation.
Although thiny thousand people and
possibly more had reached the expo
sition grounds before the four white
horses drawing the landau in which
the President was seated entered,
not one thousand of the number
were in a position to observe the
entrance or to raise their voices in
honor of his arrival, and it can be
truthfully said that during the six
hours which president Cleveland
spent on the exposition grounds there
was never a burst of prolonged
cheering. Not once did the vast
crowd, atfd it was as dense in spots
as it was extensive, rise to a high
pitch of enthusiasm.
HIS SPEECH COLDLY KXCEIVKD.
Not only was the crowd cold in
the presence of the President, but
when he stood before them and de
livered his address he failed to se
cure a moiety of the applause which
greeted an inferior band which pass
ed in front of the reviewing stand
during the parade playing the air of
“Dixie.”
Twenty thousand people attempt
to £”* EL .’.eating of the
President’s voice and within sight of
the military that should pass in front
of him. Not more than one-half of
the number accomplished their pur
pose. A salute of twenty-one guns
by the artillery stationed in the cen
ter of the phza announced that the
parade had commenced.
CLEVELAND IN REVIEWING STAND.
President Cleveland and Governor
Atkinson, of Georgia, emerged from
the main entrance of the govern
ment building, crossed the plank
drive and entered the reviewing
stand, which was covered with an
immense silk flag and wainscoted
with crimson plush, edged with a
deep gold fringe. The members of
the cabinet, exposition officials and
prominet visiters soon filled the stand.
The President took his position and
the parade began.
It was a purely military pageant.
A dozen bauds, a thousand regulars
and at least another thousand ol
militia and cadets comprised a par
ade of much magnificence. As the
last company passed the crowds
broke through the {opes and the
crush in front of the stand became
extreme. From the lower to the left
the chimes pealed forth “Hail to the
Chief.” President Collier, of the
exposition, stepped to the front after
' a prayer by Dr. Hopkins and in a
few sentences introduced President
Cleveland.
SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT.
The President was in good voice,
and confined himsesf to the address
previously prepared. He said:
Mr. President: On my own be
half and for my co-laborers in the
executive branch of our government
who have accompanied me, 1 thank
you for your kind words of gr etiug.
We are 1. ere to congratulate j ou and I
your associates upon tho splendid
success of the exposition •you have
set on foot and upon the evidences
you have gathered, chiefly illustra
tive of southern enterprise, southern
industry and southern recuperation.
But we are also here to claim a shar e'
ft ia the pride of your aehievmenk'No
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA.; NOVEMBER 1, 1895.
pc rtioh of our countrymen, wherever
found, can exclusively appropriate
the glory arising from these sur
roundings. They are proofs of
American genius and industry which
are the joint possession ot all our peo
ple, and they represent triumphs of
American skill and ingenuity in
which all our citizens, from the high
est to the humblest, have proprietary
rights.
While my fellow citizens of Geor
gia and her neighboring stat. s may
felicitate themselves to the fullest
extent upon such evidences as are
herefound of the growth and pros
perity of the interests and enterprises
in which they are especially concern
ed, I cannot be deprived of the en
joyment afforded by the reflection
that the work they have done em
phasizes in the sight of the world
the immense resources and indomi
table thrift of the people of the Ui it
ed States. It seems to me the
thought may be suggested as not in
appropriate to this occasion that
what we see about us is an outgrowth
of another exposition inaugurated on
American soil more than a century
ago, when a new nation was exhib
ited to the civil zed world, guaran
teed and protected by a constitution
which was obtained and established
by the people of the United States,
with the declared purpose of promot
ing their general welfare and secur
ing the blessings of liberty to them
selves and their posterity.
FREEDOM AIDS PROGRESS.
The success which has attended
this exposition of products and man
ufactures is not altogether due to
the quality of the soil or character
of the people in any of the contribu
ting states, but it rests largely upon
the fact that these states are mem
bers of a beneficently governed na
tion, whose natural resources and
advantages everywhere have been
developed and improved by the in
fluence of free institutions and whose
people have been stimulated and en
couraged by the blessings of person
al liberty.
A contemplation of the benefits
vouchsafed’ to us by our governmont
easily reminds us of the importance
of hearty and united
snpportaKprotection. We
should lovingly watch and guard it,
not only because we are recipients
of its precious gifts, but for its own
sake and beause it has been put in
our hands for sife keeping, to prove
to the world that man can be trusted
with self-government. We shall
walk in the path of patriotic duty, if,
remembering that our free institu
tions were established to promote
the general welfare, we strive for
these things which bent fit all our
people, and each of us is content to
receive from a common fund his
share of the prosperity thus contrib
uted. We shall miss our duty and
forfeit cur heritage if, in narrow
selfishness, we are heedless of the
general welfare and struggle to wrest
from the government private advan
tages which can only be gamed at
the expense of our fellow country
men.
I hope I may, therefore, be per
mitted in conclusion to suggesf, as
a most important lesson taught by
this occasion, the absolute necessity
to our national health and welfare,
and consequently to our individual
happiness as citizens, of a careful
discrimination in our support of pol
icit s and in our advocacy of polit
ical doctrines between those which
prompt the promotion of the pu lie
welfare and those which simply seem
to serve selfish or sectional interests.
If we are to enjoy the blessings our
government was framed to fairly
and justly bestow, we shall secure
them in due time by cultivating a
spirit of broad American brother
hood and insisting upon such con
duct as will, within the spirit of the
golden rule, promote the general
welfare. —Chicago Times Herald.
The repeated appeals of ‘lawyers
to the Supreme Court to defeat jus
tice in murder cases, as it has been
in Will Myers’ case after two con
victions, and them his escape from
jail as he did in Atlanta Monday
through the stupidity of the jailor,
is what inoulcates a spirit of lynch
ing in the minds of the people.—

Watson Counted' Out.
A private dispatch to New Char
ter from Atlanta, Ga., says:
“Black elected on face of returns,
but Watson will contest.” ‘
If ever a man had just reason for
contest Watson is the man. The
damnable rascality and corruption
of the democrats of the two demo
cratic counties of that district has
never been exceeded in this country.
That such deeds can be committed
in this country and go unrebuked
and unpunished by the “powers that
be” is a danger signal that fills hon
est mtn with dread.
The time is'neir at hand when
protest will cease and action begin
Americans will not long consent 'to
be robbed of their corstitutional
rights. If the money power makes
revolution a necessary prelude t J the
restoration of government by the
people? let it not complain if Ts is
crushed in the mills that are set to
grinding.
Tom Watson has a large majority
of the vote of the 10th Georgia'"dis
trict on his side. The rascality of
the democratic machine; supplement
ed by the purchasable, ignorant and
depraved negro vote of the district
continues to rob the people of their
constitutional guaranteed rights, be
fore congress Watson will make a
contest. If he cannot get justice
there, reformers will know that the
time has come to fight no longer with
gloves.—San Jose New Charter.
A Wonderful Canine.
Rev. Downing, of South Pittsburg,
Tennessee, has a most wonderful
dog. He is an ordinary yellow cur
named “Bench,” with coarse hair
and short legs, but it is said that he
can imitate the sounds of any animal
at will. At the word of command
he will crow like a cock, neigh
a horse, low like a cow, grunt and
squeal like a pig, mew like a cat and
repeat the various voices incident to
farm life. He could give ail the
yelps of a pack of'hounds in pursuit
of a fox and in so realistic a mann r
that you could scarcely help, believ
ing that a hunt was in progress.
The dog was never
this, but as a ™
teS*ot the fam- yard and has added
to them the creaking of wagons and
the whirrisg of machinery as made
by a thresher. Mr. Downing has
been offered fabulous sums for the
wonderful dog, bn'. refuses to part
with him. Trained animal keepers
who have examined ‘ Bench” and
become familiar with his mimacry
say that it would be an easy matter
to teach the dog to articulate words,
perhaps to even talk connectedly.—

settled down in Washington cotton
dropped newly one cent a pound.
By all means he ought to go back to
Buzzard’s Bay and keep fishing.
Mr. Cleveland in his Atlanta
speech talks a great deal about “pro
moting the general welfare.” He
didn’t mention however, whose wel
fare was promoted by *150,000,000
bonds that lie issued.—Tribune.

A Picniinent Minister Rec
ommends Germetuer for
Stomach and
Nervous Troubles!
Experience has Proven its
Value as the
GREAT FAMILY MEDICINE.
Rev. J. M. Brittain, D. D., At
lanta, Ga., widely known among the
Baptists all over Georgia and
throughout tho Southern country,
says: “It affords me great pleasure
to testify to the merits of Dr. King’s
Royal Germetuer. 1 have found
nothing to equal it for Indigestion,
Stomach and Nervous Troubles. We
have used it successfully in my fam
ily in cases of cold, headache, etc.,
In fact, as a “Gteat Family Medi
dine,” we recognize its efficacy sc
fully that we want a bottle always
at hand for the ills flesh is heir to.”
.Germetuer Will Cure You.
Rich Purjurers.
It is estimated that the value of
all money, bonds, stocks and securi
ties of all sorts amounts to over one
thousand million dollars. The wives
of some of these stock and bond
owners boast of posessing jewels to
the value of fifty thousand to two
hundred and fifty-five thousand dol
lars. In 1893, only fifty-five thous
and of stocks and bonds were given
in fcr taxation and less than twenty
thousand worth of jewelry. Yet
these are the people who do so much
talking about the dishonest silver
dollar.
