THE AMEfMCES DAILY TIMES-RECOUDER: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1*91.
THE RESULT,
When it was recently announced
that Thornton Wheatley’s usual
pilgrimage had been made to the
Eastern markets, the public waited
to see in these columns, the report
of what had been done for their
benefit in the way of novelties in
goods and revelations in low prices.
AT tb'ngs being now Ready von
THE Vi^8T,tbe people of Amori>as
and. the surrounding country are
invited to come. They are not ex
pected to have on their WEDDING
Garments, for Wheatley’s is the
Place where the people must go
to be properly decked out for an
appearance, oither at a feast or at
business; and nobody can have
the trade mark that a Perfectly
Dressed Man always bears, until
after they have been to
iWos Wneatley’s
and have been supplied with
Letters Patent of Elegance !

the human voles could not be beard from
Maryland to Tessa-wfatfe on the threshold of
nearly every liotute in Mew England stands a
son, seeking, with troubled eyes, some new
land in which to carry his modest patrimony,
the strango fact remains thst In 1880 the sonth
had fewer northern born citizens than she had
In 1870—fewer In 1870than In 1800. Why is this?
Why is it, sir, though the sectional line be bat
a mist tbut the breath may dispel, fewer men
of the north have crossed it over to the sonth
than when It was crimson with tho best blood
of tho republic, nr even when the slaveholder
stood guard e\*cry Inch of its way7
There cun bo but one answer. It is the very
problem which we nro now to consider. The
key that opens that problem will unlock to the
world the fairest half of this republic and free
the halted feet of thousands whoso eyes are al
ready kindling with its beauty. Hotter than
this, it will open the hearts of brothers for
thirty years estranged, and clasp in lasting com-
rodeshipa million hands now withheld in doubt.
Nothing, sir, but this problem and the sum*
picions it breeds hinders u clear understanding
and a perfect union. Nothing else stands be
tween ns and such love as bound Georgia and
Msssachusotts at Valley Forgo and Yorktown,
chastened by tho sacrifices of Manassas and
Gettysburg, and Illumined with the coming of
better work and a nobler destiny t’. an wns
ever wrought with the sword or sought at the
cannon’s mouth.
The peroration of this speech was per
haps the passage in all his work which
will live the longest. He was speaking
of the great race problem, and in closing
he said:
The love we feel for that race you cannot
measure nor comprehend. Awl attest ft here,
the spirit of tfcjr old black mamtny, from her
home up there, looks down to bless, and through

—a soldier struck, staggering, fallen. I see a
slave, scuffling through the smoke, winding
his bUek arms about the fallen form, reckless
of hurtling death, bending hie trusty face to
catch the words that tremble on tho stricken
lips, so wrestling meantime with agony that
be would lay down hla life in hie master’s

tering with uncomplaining patience, praying
with all hie bumble heart that God will lift

In honor to still the soldier’s agony and seal

death of him who in life fought against his

and the great drama of his life is closed, turn

better and brighter day. And from tbs grave

his about me. Be hie friend se he woe mine.**
And oat Into this new world—strange to me
as to him, daxxling, bewildering both—I fol-
low! And may God forget my people—when
they forget those!
A mighty duty, sir, a mighty Inspiration im
pels every one of as tonight to lose In patriotic
consecration whatever estranges, whatever di
vides. We, sir, are Americans, and we eland
for human liberty! The uplifting force of the
American Idea is under every throne on earth.
France, Brazil—these are our victories. To re
deem the earth from kingcraft and oppression,
this is our mission! And we shall not fail. God
hoe sown In our soil the seed of his millennial
harvest, and he will not lay the sickle to the
ripening crop until hie fall and perfect day hoe
come. Our history, sir, has been a constant and
expanding miracle from Plymouth Bock and
Jamestown all the way—ay, evoa from the
hour when, from the voiceless and trackless
ocean, a new world rose to tho sight of the in
spired Bailor. As we approach the fourth cen
tennial of that stupendous day—when the Old
World will come to marvel and to learn amid
our gathered treasures—let us resolve to
crown the miracles of our pest with the spec
tacle of a republic, compact, united. Indissolu
ble In the bonds of love, loving from the lakes
to tho golf, the wounds of war healed in every
heart as on every hill, serene and resplendent
at the summit of human achievement and
earthly glory, blazing ont the path and mak

the earth must oome in God's appointed time!
It was is the course of this New Eng
land trip, at the close of 1880, that he in
curred the illness which proved fatal.

Tliis Borrow did not expend itself in
word*, spoken or printed, it was felt
that it mint lake an enduring form, and
on the day foll.wing his death the
young men of Atlanta held u meeting to
take some step toward erecting a monu
ment to their deceived associate.
In a few days the Grady Monument
association was organized and Chair

Ga., in 1880. He spent his childhood
there and in Houston county, where he
attended a high school, bnt in 1871 he
went to Atlanta and fonnd employment

be was a member of the firm which bad
employed him, and which was then
known ns Smith, Porter & Northen.
Mr. Northen is now special agent of
the Equitable Insurance company. He
is a nephew of Governor Northen, and
was somewhat instrumental in the nomi
nation and election of his uncle, having
been intrusted with the management of
the latter's state campaign. Mr. Nor
then takes considerable interest in state,
oountyadd municipal poKticn, and is at
present chairman of the executive com
mittee of tho Young Men’s Democratic
leagnu of Fnlton county.
With this young man and bfs associate
officers ut the head of a movement which
was enthusiastic from the beginning, the
happiest results have been realized. The
association having formulated a plun of
action and announced it to tho world, a
statement w;ts made that the Henry W.
Grady Monument association would,
until thirty days after the death of
Mr. Grady, receive voluntary contribu
tions for the purpose already told. No
subscriptions were to be solicited. Free
will offerings only were desired.
Before sunset on the day this action
of the association was made pnblic, over
$8,000 was poured into the treasury by
the citizens of Atlunta. The news wus
heralded over the country, and at once
telegraphed subscriptions wero received
from the northeast, the northwest, from
everywhere. Boston gave a handsome
sum. New York forwarded a large contri
bution. From faraway in a little village
in the Rocky mountains was mailed a
gift, with the words that the immortal
Grady’s influence had penetrated the
backwoods. Among the last donations
