He was a jour nalist by instinct, and kept bis thoughts in the newspaper work. the fall of 1889 he went to Boston, and on Dec. 18 he delivered an address before the Merchants’ club of that city, which proved to be one of the greatest if not the greatest, effort of his life. It was in the ponrse of this Nsw Eng land trip, at the close of 1889, that he Incurred the illness which proved fatal. After addressing the Boston merchants he spoke before th? Bay State club, and then went to Plymouth P-ock, where he made a talk in the open air in Decem ber He was suddenly attacked there with a severe case of pneumonia. He returned at once to Atlauta, and de spite the best medical attention which could have been had died in the course rvL^s w His funeral occurred on Christmas day, and was the largest ever witnessed in Atlanta. The usual holiday festivities were entirely sus pended throughout the city by all classes of people from morning until night on that «iay. The very fact of Christmas festivi ties being suspended in a southern com munity is sufficient evidence of the esti mation iu which he was held by his fel low townsmen; but much more evidence followed. For many weeks afterward the newspapers north and south con tained a remarkable number of personal tributes to bis character and worth from his personal friends. The Monument Movement. Before the mortal framo of the new •oath’s favorite had been consigned, to its mother earth, a movement was pro jected to erect a monument to his mem ory. That it has be»n successful goes without sayiug. As soon as it had been announced that the Grady Monument association had been formed and would receive voluntary subscriptions until thirty days after Mr. Grmly’s death, free will offerings came pouring in from all over this country, and when the time had expired it was found that $31,- 000 had come from the purses of a gen erous aud patriotic people. The the money had been easily raised and only thing left was to erect the monu ment. This the association at once proceeded to do. The Designer and Seulpton. In answer to advertisements, out of the large number of designs submitted to the association, the one prepared by Alexander Doyle, of New York was ac cepted. Mr. Doyle is an artist of ex- t -naive reputation and considerable ability. Among some of his works are the Hill monument in Atlanta, the Garfield monument in Cleveland, the Greely statue in New York, the revolu tionary monument in Yorktown, Va., -xecuted for the government, and many others in New Orleans, Savannah, Toledo and elsewhere. Description «f tiie Monument. The Grady monument proper, is made of granite, and stands ou a terrace with olded edges, 16 feet sqnare by 4 feet h.

ALEXANDER DOYLE. ..Thf monument is situated in the mid- dle of Marietta street, directly in front cr the old state capitol in the heart of the ratv. The Great Parade. The first great featuie of tlie day was a monster parade. The ar.-augjments for the parade were perfected after 11 o’clock, and it has been said that the procession was the longest ever seen in Georgia. The zigzag line of march was fully fifteen blocks in length. The great parade was formed in divisions, each assigned to officers from the mili tary. Colonel Calbonn was marshal of the day and was assisted by ten aides. .The line of march was on Mitchell to Whitehall, Whitehall to Alabama, Ala bama to Loyd, Loyd to Decatur, tur to Pryor, Pryor to Peachtree, Peach tree to Marietta, Marietta to statue, vnd was in the following order: Mounted Police. Mexican Band. Fourth Battalion Georgia Volunteers, Infantry. Police Battalion. Atlanta Artillery (without guns). Moreland Park Cadets. Adolph Brandt Division Knights of Pythias. Atlanta Division Knights of Pythias. Fourth Artillery Band. Confederate Veterans. O. M. Mitchell Post G. A. R. Railroad League. Representatives of the Press and News paper Men. • fJewsboys. Governor’s Horse Guards. Governor Northen and Stuff. Mayor and General Council. Carriages Containing Governor David B. Hill, Distinguished Guests, the Family of Mr. Grady and the Grady Mon ument Committee. Fire Department. During the course of the parade an alarm of fire was given, and the break ing of the march by the department, which went dashing to the scene of the conflagration, created qnite a sensation. On arriving opposite the . statue the Grady cadets were detached from the colninu and occupied a position around it ns a guard of honor. The procession coutiiined the march np Marietta street until the carriages reached the statue at ubont 12 o’clock noon. Around the statue was erected a large f lat form with a sealing capacity of ,000 people. It was gaily decorated with bunting and floral contributions from the ladies of the city. Those prominently identified with the ceremo nies occupied the platform. Abont the. platform there was a mass of people numbering probably 50,OIK) or more. The Unveiling Oremuulea. The exercises were begun shortly af ter 13 o’clock, and were presided over by Charles S. Northen, of the Grady PRESIDENT CHAS. & NORTHEN. Monument association. The Mexican band discoursed sweet music, after which the statue was nnveiled by Miss Gussie Grady. Tbe scene that followed the uncovering of the bronze representa tion of Mr. Grady beggars description. For minntes a demonstration prevailed, the like of which was never known be fore in the recent history of the south. After the nnveiling. a ferventprayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. J. w. Lee, daring which' every head was bowed in silence. When the prayer had been rendered Hon. Falion Colville was presented to the vast an lienee and delivered an ad dress in bebaif of tlie 1110:-ament com mittee. Mr. Coiviiie reviewed the his tory of the movement up to the days exerc ses. He r-oid now lhe money had been gotten and said that the completed monument was a voluntary offering from a patriotic people to a p uriot. He ably prewnled the work of the com mittee. Following Mr. Colville’s speech intuic was next ou thd programme. President Northen then presented Hon. Clark Howell, wiio, after appro priate remarks upon the career of Gov ernor D. B.Hill, introduced him to the multi tude as the or ator of the oc casion. Tbe appearance of the governor of theempirestate was the signal for prolonged applause. Af ter the cheering had somewhat subsided the governor ac knowledged the j David a. wtt-l honors confer red upon him and proceeded with his speech. Governor Hill’s Oration. Among other things, be said: "This ' *» on unaccustomed spectacle. The scene which we are now witnessing scarcely finds a parallel in all the his- . upon which the earnest attention of the whole American people is rivited at this hour, because o. its peculi ir signifi cance. Not to tbe memory of a great 4lhlwr v a s^t$aujuati it Jjiip statue' unveiled today, Dut to a plain citizen of tbe republic--a ‘journalist, orator, patriot. ’ j Journeying so far, intermitting for a season official rouri no and political du ties in order to be present with you be- : side this dedicated monument of your j enduring and proud memory, I have j questioned whether the act might not speak more occeptably than any word of mine. To pay th j due tribute of a personal friendship, i,t is enough to come hither m silence, and amid this throng of Georgias’s sons, and of southern men from sister states attesting a common heritage of grief and pride, here cast my leaf amozg yonr lansels, and pass ing to my northern home, “And bid fair peace to his sab^shoucL” To commemmorate ths mark he mode, the prizes he won in a high call ing, there needs no eulogy from me. His acquirements, his gifts, his genius, the ontlinea of his manly character, the circmnstanccs of his career, are best “jw?, t0 you among whom he lived and did his best, until for him—too soon, alas!—tho night came, wbichends all our brief days and work. Yet beside this tomb, before this si lent token of a nation’s mingled grief and homnge, no greater tribute could I Psy *° Henry W. Grady’s memory and pnblic services, than to repeat the story of his brave life. That life—so brief and yet so full—is the history of a no ble purpose born iu the generous im pulses of a warm and patriotic heart, stirred by the sufferings and despair of his stnek >u countrymen, sustained by ins confidence in the south’s resources and the sonth’s manhood, ai ielbyhis own great genius and practical energy, and accomplishing within his lifetime its great end—the restoration of the south’s prosperity and the complete re conciliation of north and south. Truly does his name live in the mem- ory of this people! Rich as Georgia is in the fame of her brilliant sons, few names among yonr illustrious men hold a more sacred place in vour affections. Great orators you have had—Toombs, Stephens, Hill—yet the eloquence of none came from a truer heart or ex pressed a more exalted pnrpose. Great statesmen and brave soldiers you have bad, bnt none gave his life and his genins to a nobler task. He was the symjiatlietic friend in vonr days of ad versity; he was your inspiration i:i d tys of struggle; he yonr hone in times of despair; he was the embodiment of your dew aspirations—tne representative of ye-nr new ideas—the leader in vonr now prosperity. When upon the solid fon-id- ations of success which you and he have built, tlie complete structure of a glori ous statehood shall be reared by your posterity, jealondy may those future generation preserve tbe memory of that young Georgian, and point with venera- liou to this noble statue—repeating softly and reverently the words of this inscription—"Henrv W.
