Governor or Georgia, r.djiessed *
t'.ie citizens of Decatur oounu
at the Courr, House in this city on Mon
day lust. Tne audience was considera
bly larger than that which gi-eeto.l Mr.
Guerry upon hii vi-it here. Tins wu-
perhaps due to the two reasons that thi •
was isourtr week and that his coming hud
been pretty well advertised. Mr. Ter
rell was met upon his arrival hero by a
committee from the Ten-oil Club whose
guest he was white in the uity.
On Monday at E.x ictiy 11 o’clock the
crowds tiled into the court room vn. 1 i.
the room was crowded and Mr. Terruit
begun his speech He was iutrod -c -d
by Cob J nteriing Huberts. Pre-idem. ol
the Terrell Chub, who in a few chosen
words presented tno.speakoc to the au
dience.
Mr. Terrell devoted tliu most of his
speech in defeud-ng the present ad-
mi.dsti-ation and the pension and public
school systems, fie urged reforms and
sp.oko in glowingtemis of tqe at.ility and
integrity ot Alien D. Hand.or. lia de
clared thathewas the candidate of no cli
que and pledged iu tbe event of hiselec-
tion that he would fearlessly administer
tlie law.
On the prohibition qaestira lie declar
ed lhatlie favored local option, but
that, if the legislature passed a general
prohibition measure it should receive
his signature and endorsement. 1)
there had hewn Lobbying Mr. Terj-e.l
seemed to be unaware of it.
Only <moe did the speaker refer to
Mr. Guorry and that wav indirectly
when he intimated that .Mr. Gueiny’s
opposition and light on the railroad.-, was
due to his disc.h irgo from their ooi'vi.e
as attorney.
Mr. Terrell met many cf the lea ling
men of the county during his visit uero
and it is but jo n, to say ih it he has
gained votes. He left oil the 1:10 train
