LAST FRIDAY,
They Gathered by Ilumlreds ami by
Thousands.
THE GREAT COMMON l'EOPLE
OF THE TENTH ASSEMBLE
TO EON OR AND TO
IIE VR THE MATCH.
LESS WATSON,
The morning of tlu 20th. of October
dawned gray and chilly over the Tenth
t oil 'Sessional district of Georgia.
Yet, had the sun broken through the
clouds he would have found at dawn
S n? And would not the populists he
there en m isse. From the evening of
the 18th. until noon of the 20 th. they
who observed at Thomson must have
continually said: Theycomc! Theyconic!
Many from adjoining counties came in
buggies and wagon*, horse back and
afoot, and camped at night near the
scene of the great rally. By light on
the following morning the stream of
the evening before had swollen into a
mighty river of humanity that poured
itse'f into, upon and around the town.
T hoy came by the train load, by the
wagon load, by the buggy load. They
eame, glad that they.wore to hear one
whom they loved and admired, and
who in return loved and admired
them. But over theii hopes and their
delight at the prospect of a grand suc¬
cessful rally, and of fraternal joy in
the day at hand was cast a heavy cloud
of sadness,
A brother of Mr. Watson had died a
sad death recently and the burial had
taken place only a day before- The
heart of the man, to whom all looked
with nearly cvdldlike faith, was crushed
by sorrow. A id th e hear t of fhfi multi
tudewas slirredin sorrowful svmpathv.
Ere this sad news the clnhy gloom oi
the morning had not entered the hearts
of the people, but with it came into
their souls a reflection of the cloudy
dawn and they gathered in groups to
speak their regrets, or in more elo¬
quent silence show the deep sympathy
they felt. The heat t of the chief was
sad, and the heart of his people was
sorrowful. The sou! of the leader was
smitten w th grief, and the spirit of
the people foil the crushing weight of
ihe blow.
Yet, it is so decreed that however
downcast the mind may be for a while
it must ere long rally to th: ever ring
ing call of the present and with the ri-.
peuing of the morning came that fee!
ing, which interpreted means; “The
dead are at rest. The living must live
on.”
About 9 o’clock the morning took
on t more cheerful cast and the broken
clouds gave promise of a clear sky ere
noon. About 10 o’clock thy crowd had
assembled at the stand and Maj. Me.
Gregor made the opening remarks; sta¬
ting that the speech M r. Watson was
to have deliverd would be puplished in
the People’s Party Paper next month,
Another remark made was that he
could show proof positive that Mr.
Watson could honorably le v# made
$5,000 during the time lie was speak
all over Georgia at Lis own expanse,
Shortly afterwards Hon. C. H, Elling¬
ton announced that Mr. Watson
would Dot sp ak.but that lie would,
from regard to the desires of his nu¬
merous friet.ds assemble), appear
about 11 o’clock Dr, Marlin inyoked
Divine blessing, after which Mr J, T.
West a brilliant young lawyer of
or Thomson made an eloquent speech,
for out side.- lion. Mel Branch foi
lowed in a short adress.
It was during this address that M r
Watson appeared. A mighty, rolling
shout went u;. as the vast crowd to
id him ascend the stand. Mr.
Branch soon concluded bis speech and
like the pealing of thunder came ihe
cr its asd chetis for “Watson.”
AS be stepped foiwara in answer to
the it resist able call of a loving, loyal
people it was plainly and painful It
evidrnt that that he was laboring uus

AN ADVOCATE OF JEFFERSONIAN PRINCIPLES-
CRAWFOKDYILLE GaH 1UI)AY OCTOBER 2?. 1803.
Sinking his own feeling that hs
might respond to the ftelings of the
assembled tl i usands tf r. Watson
made a speecn of about three quar¬
ters of an hour
A:.d such a speech. lie had just
left the house of mourning, scarely
had the doors of Death’s chamber
closed behind him, and from the spirit
awaking influences of such a scene he
came forth and spoke as few men have
ever spoken. Quickened by the ex
perienceof the hour; his soul newlv
alive to the perils of the day he spoke
with peculiar strength and feeling,
and with an earnestness that was
burning.
We regret that we are unable to give
the speech in full: An attempt at a
■ynopsis is all we can do.
