Atlanta, November 28.—The
great day looked forward to to ea
gerly, and for which such prepara
tion baa been made, opened with
heavy cloud, and rain. The streets
were muddy, a. only the street* of
Atlanta can get in bad weather.
But tbe crowds poured into th.
city without regard to the weather.
Every train through tbe day came
in loaded with people, and the
*t*e.ts became so thoroughly pack
ed that movement became a very
difficult work. The eity was
mass of flags and decorations of
every conceivable character. Every
available apace waved a flag Tk.
small boy and tbe tin born were
everywhere, but for once be was
almost swallowed up by bigger
things, if there is any bigger thing
than the small boy. All during
the day the crowd circulated over
tbe city, in perfect good humor,
and enjoyed tbe oocasion thor
oughly. At nightfall the wholo
oily was lighted op aa by
magio. Every window was il
luminated and tbe streets blazed
with torches, bonfires and calcium
lights. All during the night there
was an incessant noise from horns,
steam-whistles and cannons. Rail
road men to-night say the different
linos of road brought into tbe city
full fifteen thousand people, and it
is fair to say there were on tbe
streets to night in the neighbor
hood of thirty thonsand people.
At 6 o’elook the procession start
ed under the triumphal arcb erect
ed across Marietta street, between
tbe capitol and oustorn house.
Tke line was made uo of mounted
police, the Governor’s Horse Guard,
torch-bearers on foot, mounted
horsemen with torches, delegations
with torohes, floats and transpar
encies representing tbe different
trade* and industries, hslf a dozen
brass bands, a vigorous steam cal
liope and carriages containing tbs
members of the Democratie com
mittee having charge ol Mr. Ran
dall and party.
The procession marched up and
down a number of tbe principal
streets and shortly after 8 o’clock
drew up in front of De Give’s Opera
House. Mr. Randall was escorted
to the opera bouse balcony, wbiob
was lighted with electricity and
crowded with ladies and distin
guished citizens. Mr. Randall was
introduced by Mr. Henry W. Gra
dy, and as be looked down upon
tbe sea of faces, bo wss greeted
with a roar of cheers that seemed
to shake tbe city.
Mr. Randall said bo had come
from bis home in Pennsylvania to
join tbe people of Georgia in this
demonstration—this celebration of
a great Democratic victory, won
by fidelity to tbe principles of tbe
party. In tbe midst of bis joy be
bad a feeling of sadness that Ucor-
f ia’s distinguished statesman, A
[. Stephens, and that other great
statesman, Mr. Benjamin Hill,
were not here to rejoice with ns.
Death had claimed them, but they
bad left tbe people of the State a
priceless legacy.
In tbe election of a Democratic
President a great responsibility
had been placed upon him and on
the party. Will they be equal to
it? Knowing Grover Cleveland a*
he does, he could assure them that
be would discharge to the full every
duty. We bave won a great con
stitutional victory, and will return
to a pure and honest government.
He believed the administration
would be characterized by those
noble words on tbs coat-of-arms—
“Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.’
Tbe time was when there were
differences in the Democratic party
on the question of the tariff, but
he believed tbe utterance at tbe
Ghloago eonvention was broad
enough and liberal enough for all.
He would not undertake to say
that there was anything in the con-
dilution to explicitly justify pro-
!°IiT£S>a lection per se, but would say that
tbe duty on imports should he so
levied as to discriminate in favor
of American industries to cover
the difference in tbe cost of pro
ducing tbe foreign articles and tbe
domestic. It should be levied so
as to protect tbe American mechan
ic and American industries.
One great duty of tbe Democrat
ic party in power would be
When in the North the Reptib-
lioana railed the bloody thirt, at
did Mr. Blaine in hie reeentepeeeb
at Augusta, he would eay that he
found here in the Empire State of
tbe South no eolid South, and
heard no solid North, but a solid
union. He had found nowhere in
this country no people who had
more respect for tbe flag of the
Union, who were more enthusiastic,
more sincere, loyal and devoted to
tbe Union than tbe people of
Georgia.
He concluded by thanking tbe
people from bis heart, which be
believed was sound to tbe core, fo. a
the generous welcome and kindness
he bad received at their hands.
Mr. Randall was followod by
Hon. W. U. Henzel, Chairman of
the Democratie State executive
committee of Pennsylvania, who
made an eloquent and taking
speech. He paid a high tribute to
Georgia and her people, saying^
among other things, we had a tong
line of statesmen, of whom the
State was justly proud,' who had
never written letters they were
ashamed of, nor had occasion to
add the postscript “Burn this.’’
After the speaking there was a
grand pyrotechnie display,. after
which there wat a publio reception
at tbe executive mansion in honor
of Mr. Randall and kit party.
