He was introduced ip thv throng that were eager to meet him by President N. B. Dreary, Col W. J. Kincaid, Col, Seaton Grantland and Hon. B R Blakely who are prom’ ipent members of the Candler Club here There was no formal commit tee to receive him for as a commoner be avoids ostentatious display and tbe carriage that was to meet him drove away ernp'y for he preferred io walk with hie friends and talk to them. They formed a-splendid procession and just as the Hill street eweifiog was passed the Griffin Rifles Band met them and headed tbe procession' playing the most spirited music and the next Governor of Georgia marched up Hill street with a happy smile for each and every one At President Drewry’s office be held a reception and was warmly assured by both town and county that they were loyal to him. In the meantime the band gave him a continuous serenade. While here Col Candler was the guest of Col. W. J. Kincaid add at bis home received many of his friends. His appearance at the opera house al 11 o’clock was the signal for Alling that structure. He was introduced in a eulogistic speech by Dr. Drewry who was fre quently applauded. Col. Candler Was vociferously cheereli upon hfajtppearance and he began by thanking the people and the gentleman who introduced him for very flattering reception Then he reviewed the questions of the dsy slating that he was above all a dehio crat and a free silver ooe,'though a gold man could be Just as good a member ol the party as a free silverite He stated that he wanted no office or preferment save on merit and empha sised during hie speech that he want ed uo friend trf bis to purchase a vote for him either with whiskey or mon ey. He elicited considerable a.nuse meot when he told of a politician who opposed him in an Atlanta caucus and when asked his reason said s "What’s in it for us if that old cuss is elected?" and then they agreed on Judge Spencer Atkinson He said that tbe Peoples Party Pa* per bad now combined with Atkinson and Berner and were printing false hoods on him. He gave the record of the 'opposing candidates and proved conclusively that he had done the state jnore ser vice than either Col Candler reviewed his position on economic questions and demoustra ted the fact that his record for reform was better than that of either of his distinguished opponents. In refering to the attack nfadV upon him by a lo cal newspaperin regards to a tax fifa duo this county since 1870, Col. Cand ler was indignaxt and the audience seemed to think justly so, for they encouraged him with calls and ap plause. He aaid: "In 1870 I lived in Griffin and during that time buried my brother, ffn the middle of the year my wife's health being delicate I resigned my position and hurried away to the mountains of North Gear gia and the first I evet heard of such fl fa—if it exists—was when it was published by Dodgfas Gleisner in his 7x9 newspaper "Fellow citizens, it such afl fa was eVer issued against me and presented, I will swear to you that I paid it. There is no county or town in the stale that can show a fl fa lor taxes against me that I have refused to pay ” Thia was greeted withjoud applause. He refuted the charges of drinking that had circulated about him in cer tain papers and in a letter written by W. E. H. Searcy, of this county, by saying that there was not a man in heaven, hell or on earth that bad ever taken a drink with him, for the reason that, though 60 years of age, he bad never taken one; that be was a demo crat, not a prohibitionist, for he thought it was too gfeat 'a moral question to be handled on party lines, and that be thought every section should settle the question for them selves, and be had always advocated such a policy and voted for local op tion. He then took issue with the Macon Telegraph and handled that organ without gloves, saying that it had nev* er been a democrat except in name, and referred to the meeting under its roof of Berner and Atkinson, for tbe purpose of consultation, and said that in three days the effect of it was shown in its columns. He closed hie speech with a manly appeal for the votes of the Bounty— not as a former citizen, not on person* al grounds, but on merit. In the afternoon be spoke to the men out al the factory add was splen didly received. I}. 1 ..'.
