the grand Thousands of AHianccmen Come to Athens. SOME GREAT SPEECHES MADE SOCK LESS JERRY, PRESIDENT POLK AND CBN.

Democracy, strong suppoi posit their whiskey sad borrow money from the government on it, he thought the fanners might be allowed the same privilege, by depositing farm products and drawing money on them. “Why your critics say it is an un constitutional measure exclaimed May or Brown in utter derision and scorn/ Unconstitutional?, Why, God bless ir soul it reminds me of the old ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY HORNING, JULY 211891 The Alliance Rally is over, and the farmers have gone home. It was a notable occasion perhaps the men memorable pub'ic gathering the Classic City of Georgia has seen since the days of reconstruction. The crowd is estimated at from 3.000 to SIKH) visitors from the surrounding counties, and with the Athens people present, perhaps there were six or sev- eu thousand people in the throng. And they were warmly welcomed. Atheus always knows how to. give a genuine heartfelt welcome and yester day's reception to the farmers added to her already well deserved reputation (or hospitality, aud the women as well as the enterprising and generous mer chants are to be thanked aud congratu lated for sustaiuiug so creditably the name of their city. It was a great day aud a happy day for the farmers. It was more of a social gathering than a political oue, and was therefore all the pleasanter. Sockless Simpson and his companions from the West made no decided or un becoming attack on the democrats of the South, and the third party was not urged upon the democratic alliancenun, thus causing no embarrassment. The doctrines preached were simon pure alliance doctrines, and the third party whs only hinted at vaguely as a last re sort, and even then brought forth no special applause from the horny handed sons of toil who have voted all their lives the ticket which their fathers be fore them voted. Altogether it was a happy rally of al- liauccmeu, and will doubtless result in good for the farmers of this section. By ten o’clock several thousand far mer.' were on the campus awaiting their welcome from Mayor Brown. When the strains of two brags bands had died away over the green lawns of that historic spot of Georgia soil, the crowds cheered as Mayor E. T. Brown arose and walked to the edge of Lhe platform to speak to the alliancenq|en. m\von brown’s speech. Mayor Brown ,began to speak lows: Representatives and members of the Farmers’ Alliance, ladies and gentle men : t As tlie oflicial head of this Classic City 1 most gladly welcome you; as the representative of the most hospitable people who live beneath southern skies 1 most heartily welcome you; as an in dividual who from the first has been in pioioundest sympathy with your cause, 1 most cordially welcome you. In oideu times wheu cities were sur rounded by walls of masonry, and se cured by gates of granite,it was the cus tom on occasions like this to lay at the feet of their guests the keys of the town While we are not surrounded by walls, nor protected by gates, still the siring which raises the latch to our homes, and the keys which unlock the bounty of our hearts, we today most elieerlully place at your disposal. Today our town, our homes, our time and our all are turned over to you. And upon the threshold of these re mark* permit me to assure you, that the Alliance, no where in all this broad land has truer, firmer or better friends than it has here in the good old Classic City of Athens. iu proof of this! need only instance the call made upon onr people to pre pare lor your reception. When that call was made, every man no matter what his vocation, came with open purse; every lady reep*>uded with cheerful hearts and willing bands, and every child came with shout* of joy and songs of gladnesR. 1 know it has been the custom in many quarters to abuse, ridicule and hold up to contempt the Farmers’ Al liance, and such a warfare on you, doubtless has bad its effect. But I sincerely believe that every honest and fair minded man will send on to your Mr. N. A. Denning as I have done, and obtain as I have obtained, youi platform aud enunciation of prin ciples, and will study them with the' same care it will inevitably make of ev ery rich man a friend and supporter of the farmers’ alliance. For when I came to examine your platform I found no principle therein enunciated, upon which any patriot need fear to stand. 1 found no demand therein madia but which if granted by the gov ernment would help the whole people of this country. My friends, the trouble with nine- to'iths of the critics of the Alliance is that they know nut whereof they speak. 1 will venture that not one out'of every ten men,who are to-day engaged in the unholy warfare of crying down with the Alliance, have so much as ever soon the Ocala platform. They know nothing of your platform; they know less- of your demands; and they care less for yottr principles. No honest man has the right to condemn und denounce so large and respectable a Portion of bis fellow citizens without first granting them a fair hearing and an honest trial. I for one have attempted to do this. I have studied your plat- form, your principles, your demands; and I say to you to-day, herd in the presence of your most distinguished leaders and exponents, 1 .that if I bad found anything therein contained “ ' ‘a patriot ' would to-day. demand.- ?’ — 'vhicb I as an honest eould not have sri have said so from ‘•Now what Asked Mayor ®d to discuss tional Bank system,the Sub-Treasury at uiy your soul it reminds me at the old law yer who always denounced the law against his client as unconstitutional. One of his lawyer friends told him one day that he had dreamed that the old fellow went to Heaven, and when some of the angels asked around for him, looking off at a little distance they Baw him arguing before the white throne against the High Tribunal upon a sup posed unconstitutionality of the Gospel laws.” (Laughter.) Mayor Brown continued: ■ But it is not my province today to enumerate and' discuss all the wrongs and evils from which you suffer. This duty will fall to abler speakers and more eloquent tongues. But if I were called upon to endict the government for the nigh crimes and misdemeanors, 1 could do it in three short courts: 1. It has forces that bids it run; soil and the, products thereof as the basis of credit. 2. It has ever protected the few as against the many. 3. It has reduced the circulating medium to such a point that monopo lies and trusts are not only possible bat absolutely inevitable. Can men wander then that you the people have arisen in your might to charge this order of things? You are not wood, you are not stones hot men, and being men these evils must be uprooted, these wrongs must be righted. When the human mind contemplates the results of these e\ ils; the weight of this oppression, the immensity of these wrongs, the only wonder is that the very stones of the Republic do not rise up in mutiny. The poets in speaking “of this graver Republic have sang of it as the land of the free and the home of the brave ” Yes, it is the “home of the brave.” Thank God it is the home of a people with wisdom enough to see their wrongs and brave enough to right them. And thank God again, when the Alii ance has accomplished its noble work it will once again be the land of the free. My friends, I have attempted to give the reasons which induce me to say that here in a stones throw of our ware house—here in sight of onr state and national banks—here beneath the shad ow of these classic walls—here within these sacred precincts where Toombs lyis thundered and. Hill persuaded, I raise my voice in defense of the farm er’s cause, and wish him God speed. And my countrymen, why shouldn’t I be with yon ? Among your devoted jofliccrs and Within your honored ranks are bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. Thy people are my people, thy God my God and whither thou goest so long as you stand upon your'* present princi pies I will go, and and where thot lodgest I will lodge.” In closing these remarks of welcome they would be but half completed if 1 did not extend a two-fold welcome to the wives and daughters of our farmer friends. To the Allianceman who £ame today by himsElf we say yon are 'come. 'o the Allianceman who came and brought bis wife we say you are doubly welcome. But to the AUianoemau who came with bis wife, his sous, bis daughters and babies thrown in we say you are a hundred fold welcome, bince the time when Eve first graced the Garden of Eder. with her presence, no occasion is complete without the pres ence of the ladies. They who are the bulwarks of the Republic.; are the first to point to the sun shining through the rain drops of every calamity; are the first to sight tne rain bow after every storm; are the only ones to furnish the silver lining to every cloud God graDt that the influece of our noble women will never be less- My friend they are to yon what they are to every great and noble cause- With their assistance and prayers you will succeed; without ;hem, you will fail. Nor can I close without a special and a cordial welcome to our distinguished visitors who come with friendly greet ings of brotherly love beyond a line once marked deep and broad with frat- racidal blood, but which thank God has been forever obliterated. We are glad to have you with us. And now to yon the leaders of the exponents of the movement, to yon the members as the power upon the throne of the noble cause. And to you the ladies as the “power behind the throne” oue and all we say welcome yea thrice welcome. Our hearts are ever open to you. [Prolonged cheering.] Mayor Brown’s speech was a sur prise. It was gratifying to his many friends to note what a strong alliance- man he has grown to be. He caused a sensation, and was warm ly congratulated by hundreds of good alliancemen. Even, a shower of rate didn’t for a moment cool his enthusi asm or hush his eloquence. , THEN CAME PRESIDENT POLK And then came President P< He was introduced to the Hon. W. A.

St. Paul, Jnly 17.—A West dispatch says: A wind storm of violence'passed over this city, < death and destruction in its path. The wind was accompanied by a pouring rain and the air was heavily charged with electricity. The storm lasted only about thirty minutes, but during that time many thousands of dollars of dam age was done, besides the taking of at least five lives and the visiting of terri ble injuries upon many persons. During the progress of the storm an alarm of fire was turned in from the fifth ward, and the department respond ed to find the new, large three-story frame hotel on Third street, near Lam- boro avenue, a mass of rains. The news flashed over the city with startling ra pidity. Hacks and drays containing their loads flew to the scene of disaster. In the meantime the rain was falling in torrents and the lightning waa crashing like artillery. The building is a com plete wreck. In spite of the pouring rain, visitors rushed in and assisted the firemen, in the cause of rescue. Men in all professions and walks of life stood 8honlderto shoulder and worked only \yith the thought of humanity’s sake. 1 At a late hour five men had been taken oat dead, two fatally and several more or less injured. The assistant chief of the fire depart ment sustained a broken leg by the parting of a rope which was being used to pull away wreckage.

Beginning of the Difficulty* The trouble grows out of a difficulty about a scale of wages. Tho Tennessee | The Latest, Bdst and Most Popular Coal Miniug company last spring had a difficulty with its men about the wages paid, the men claiming that the should nave a weigher of their own, and that they should be paid for all n odd” weights. The system in vogue is toptrt 2,900 pounds on a mine car. If it weighs 1,976 pounds the miner gets credit for but 1,800. If it weighs 2,905 pounds he gets credit for but 2,000; the object being to facilitate the work of weighing by uniform weights. There was also a difference between the operators and miners on the ques tion of grading and classifying the coal. NOVELS GIVEN AWAY! As Supplements to the Weekly Banner.
