vi,, 1 Hon. Charles K. Crisp, the prl.lt
... AiiK'iicii., Georgia, the aonth anil de
i,.,„-r.ic-V, a. lie stoppi-d from the train
Tlmrsd.iy afternoon.
And the sentiment wa* echor.1 in tl;
it. and cheer* of g.CNS) .launch demo-
era!' a* they struggled forward to greet
and .hake tho hand of their honored
representative and warm friend.
Many minute, before the southbound
Central train wa* due tho crowd began
gathering, and .weltering in tho beat
they patiently awaited the coming
their leader. Ily the time the train was
dueover l.ot»i men, women and children
were gathered. It wa. a few minute,
late, hut in tho mo.t good humored and
happy manner tho crowd awaited,
Somehow the band ordered for the occa
.ion failed to put in an appearance, and
the people had to depend upon their
own hearty cheer, for the mu.lc,
Wl.en tho train wa. Ken approaching
the crowd .urged up the track, whi.lle.
were Idown and (trong voice, .hooted
their welcome. A. it came hi a etand
.till and Mr. Crisp was seen dismount
ing from tho Americu* coach in com
pany with Id. enthu.ia.tio escort tho
eric, and shout* Increased in volume
and yell after yell went up nnd soared
and quavered nnd reverberated from the
woods of Schley to the pine, of Dooly
and the Hold, of Macon, and fell with a
thud—a dull sickening thud upon tho
organs of hearing of tho fow lonesome
third partylto. in tho third congre.'
slonal district.
A. Mr. Crisp got olT the trnln, men of
Americas and Sumter, of Inlluoucu and
intelligence, nton who liavo made opr
city ami our country what it is, nton
who appreciate thinkers nnd workors
these men galhored about and with eyas
alternately sparkling with Joy and prldo,
grasped the hand of him who sits in tho
chair vacated by Heed. As each man
clasped our congressman's hand, there
w a. a hearty grasp, which showed the
admirstlon came from the heart. There
was a manly homage exhibited, which
told more emphatically than could rib
Isms, ilowcrs, bands and cannons, tiiat
the noble labors of Charles Frederick
Crisp were appreciated to an inexpreasl
hie depth, and that his old friends were
Idled witli pride at his triumph,
"Welcome home, sir, welcome home,"
they said, and the whole people spoke
with them.
And then It wa* a pretty sight when
Mr. Crisp would lirmly grasp tho hand
■ d an old friend and shako it and press
it and .hake it as lie said, "Why, lii!!,
I'm glad to see you. I'm glad to be
with you again." And hi. same old
hearty, friendly manner wa. there, and
hi. face and action, showed that hi.
words di 1 not half carry the deptli of
ids feeling.
Then a. they moved on toward, the
carriage., Joe Duckworth—Joe the inim
itable, with a high, battered white hat,
rode up on a little jack and exhibi'ed
him. On one sido was a blue card bear
ing the name “Fred Wimberly." On
the other was a card on which wa. the
drawing of another jack and tho name
"Tommie Watson." Hanging to the
animal's tail wa* a third card on which
wa. inscribed, “Tho tail end of the third
party." It was a ludicrous sight and
loud laughs mingled with the yell*.
Drawn by four prancing steeds In a
landau all covered with United State*
•lags, Mr. Crisp wa* driven up Into the
grote this side of the depot. In the
vehicle with him were Mayor Felder,
Colonel Cutts and Mr. W. A. Dodson,
'.'mler the shade of a tree tho carriage
stopped, and the crowd gathered around.
Mr. W. A. Dodson, the eloquent young
attorney, arose auil delivered a hearty
and well worded address of welcome.
It was brief, but pointed, and wa. fre
quently cheered.
When he concluded lie introduced • ol.
•I. I!. Williams, of Kltavillc, who, In be
half of tho ladles of Kllaville, presented
Mr. Crisp with a large basket of the most
exquisite and odorous southern blossoms.
HI. presentation was graceful, pretty
and eloquent, and struck ahsppychord
In the hearers who heartily applauded
him.
Then Mr. Crisp arose, and overy feat
ure plainly showed tho emotion, that
were wrought within him. It wa. no
■ccasion for a speech, an he said, and
he mado no effort at eloquence, hut

speech in full. Here it is:
Sir. Crisp's Speech.
Dailies, Neighbors and Friend.! The
crowning emotion as I havo come in on
tho train approaching my home, and
havo seen the welcome on the faces of
friends, and havo shaken bj the hand
warm and pleasant tiU-nd.—the crown
ing, emotion is one of gratitude; and fol
lowing closely tip,,n that comes tlie con
sciousness of my own uuworthiness for
the great honors that have heaped
upon me, and the great love and affec
tion that has been mIiowii ine, not only
by my own people, but by the w hole
people of tho state.
It lias been many months since | |,»v«
had tile plea.ui
-Sent by you t„ represent you in congress
I have been, through the partiality of
democratic representative., there chosen
j to preside over the d -liberations id the
house. The exactions and Hie duties of
I that great,.Dicta are such a. to leave to
j It. e'-cunili.-nt no opportunity, unless in
j the case of dire necessity, to abandon hi*
post and to come and mix and mingle
with his people. Having been so situ-
ated, and discharging ,to the best of my I avoided all per
ability the onerous duties of the office, (ferred rather
I have been unable to come among you,
as it lias been my wont, ami as it is
always my desire. No man realizes
more sincerely than I do the truth, the
absolute truth, of the suggestion that
“there is no place liko heme" No
matter what honors may he tu-ape I
upon you, no matter what your
surroundings mav lie, no matter
bow you may stand in the ey
of tho world; in (lie heart of a man
there Is a longing, nnd a desire, to stand
well in the affection* of hi* immediate
neighbors, and of those witli whom ho
comes in contact. The less of that
knowledge would not be compensated
for by any earthly honor; and I hare
felt, ever since you have tirst entrusted
mo with your curamision, I havo felt that
I hail this coinfort and this consolation;
that whatever my failure might bo else
where, that in Aincricus, that In .Scldey
county, that in Sumter, that in tho ad
joining counties composing the third
dlstiict, there were thousands of people
Who bcliovol that I would to the limit of
my aidlity on all occasions represent
what I understood to be their real inter
I havo never wavered in tiiat faith.
Your kindness lias been so heaped upon
mu tiiat I cannot; nnd now when I cram
homo to mix nnd nilnglo with my people
to talk with thorn nbout tho Issues of tho
day, 1 am mot by this grand gathering,
not only of my own city, but of tho
county and tho neighboring coutitlos.
As I said, my heart Is full of omotlon
lam unaklo to oxpress what I feel liy
tlila demonstration.
To my friend from Schley county, Mr,
Williams, who Ims represented so grace
fully the ladles ot Kllaville in presenting
these beautiful ilowers, I can return my
personal thanks, and I can bid him say
to those whom he represents, tiiat
around Kllaville are clustered some of
tho brightest and sweetest associations
of my life. There my young manhood
was spent. There I formed that uniou
which lias been to rno from tho moment
of its formation until now the chief
inspiration to struggle to success,
shall always feel towards thoso people
tlioso emotion* that linger in one's heart
in respect to the associations of youth—
tho struggles, the early struggles of life,
when friends are needed—I say to those
people tiiat I think there is no com
munity and no county where they more
readily render this assistance to young
men who arc worthy of confidence than
that county which the gentleman ably
represented in the presentation of these
jwers; and I hope my friend will sav
to his friends and my friends too, tiiat I
appreciate them, and appreciate your ex
pressions and this remembrance, coming
it doe* from those, as I said, who are
associated witli my earliest recollections
of manhood.
Now friends and fellow-citizens, I do
not suppose tiiat it would las proper for
me to make anything like a speech.
While I aiu anxious and eager, eager I
say, to get among tho people and talk to
them about the issues of the day, yet I
understand that tills is not the occasion,
the place for me to do so. 1 would say
my friends of th'a and other counties
that I havo come home—I have coine
homo to be with my family and my
friends; but my services are at the abso
lute command of tho democratic party.
herever they think a voice raised in
its behalf can do good; wherever they
think that the assertion of democratic
principles may serve to reclaim friends
and neighbors who are now inclined to
leave us, there I hope to be called, and
there I shall present to t’.o best of my
ability the principles of tiiat party in
whose success, my friends, I honestly
believe, Is wrapped up the prosperity of
tills people.
Now I shall say no more; I can "»y no
more, There arc occasions w hen ono
cannot gracefully, or In graceful Ian-
guage, express hi. feelings, because ho
is overwhelmed by his feeling*. I »ay
to you frapkly, this Decision Is auch a
one to me. There has been no prouder
moment in my life. »«J Umw can be
none than lids. That when I come home
to my neighbor* and mv friends, this
demonstration assure* me that I poacu
their contldence, their eateem and their
regard. I feel » m * n mu * t h * v ,®
b,mWh °^ h Tever
and private, doom mo worthy of this!
nianifentatioo of confidence .and this
regard. I thank you for tbisdemonatra*;

Tlie New York Worlil Hm« (*«mm1 Thing* to
>»>• of Him.
The New York World of Saturday, In
a review of congress, says of Speaker
Crisp: “No democrat in congress, in
speaking of the record of tho present
house, fails to pay a warm t'ibute to
Sponker Crisp. It was claimed for Judge
Crisp by Ids friends at tho time of his
oluction tiiat ho possessed all of the qual
ities necessary to success in that respon
sible olllce, and it is the general judg
ment now that he has justified in his high
placo tho most generous things said of
him. IIo has been, indeed, a most model
presiding ofticnr, prompt, courteous,
entirely fair to both sides, and resolute
whenever the occasion demanded. Ilin
decisions havo always becu ratified by
the house, and his private compels to
Ills party friends havo always been to
promote an intelligent and praiseworthy
dispatch of business. In the most tur
bulent times of tho session he has never
been betrayed into word or deed reflect
ing in the slightest degree on the dignity
of his situation, or his well established
reputation for good temper and self-
possession, The most experienced of
the men in congress unite in saying that
no speaker so early in his service in that
oflice ever won for himself mere de
served praise than Mr. Crisp.
About Young ('liar I it*.
Mr. Charles K. Crisp, tVie son of the
speaker, has been in Atlanta for f he put
two days with his father.
Charlie Crisp is the “clerk to the
s|>eaker's table** in Washington- The
old clerks who have seen service for a
dozen years in tho house of representa
tives declare him to be the brightest and
best cqtiip|»ed man who ever held the
place. He bids fair to be a worthy suc
cessor to his distinguished father. The
lutics of clerk of the s)>eaker’s table
are manifold. It is the most difficult of*
lice under tho house to till. It requires
tact, a perfect memory .and quickness.
The clerk to the speaker’s table must
know every member of the house by
name and the state he hails from. lie
must have every rulo on his tongue's end
and must know just where to turn in
the book of rules when a point of order is
raised. He must be able to refer to all
decisions of previous speakers upon a
moment's notice anti hand it to the pre
siding officer. When tho house is in
committee of the whole ami a member
is called to the chair who happens to be
unfamiliar with the rules, and these
members constitute a vast majority in
the house, for few members have mas
tered them, he is practically the presid
ing officer. It is he who tells tho pre
siding officer how to decide points of
order and furnishes him with the rule
applicable.
While young Mr. Crisp is but 21 years
of age lie has mastered the complicated
rules -if the house, and in Ids work never
makes an error, lie further has to keep
the time on all debates, and keep a rec-
>f all motions and the disposition of the
same. Indeed, during the sessions of
the house ho is the busiest person in it.
