In an Intervtew httd with Mr. Marlon
It'. Harris on Thursday and published
In yesterday's Telegraph, It was il'.atad
that Mr. Harris would make a full state
ment of the case yoftenjay, and accord
ingly a Telegmph repoiker’eallcvi on him
at his office and obtained the following,
beginning with Mr. Harris' letter of res
ignation to Me. Clay:
"Macon. Oa.. Sept. 10, 1894.—Hon. A.
S. Clay. Chalrmnn State Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee. Atlanta, Qa.—My
Dear Sir: Please consider tills as my
resignation from . the skate Democratic
executive commJif.ee of which 1 have
the honor to be a member from the
State at large.
"The ftnmedlate reason that prompts
me to tender my realgnatlon la the ac
tion bf the committee. Jointly with ithe
o.ampaltgn coornnltltes on (tlhe Oth lr.ot„
when It refused the request tif Hen.
Thomtta E. 'Whtson. chairman of the
Poipul'l&t state executive committee,
which request in substance was: Thai'. In
oil those counities cl the state Where
the Democrats had control of 'She boun
ty government tint the Populist* be al
lowed a representative cn the 'boards
of eleotlon managers, and in those coun
ties of the state where the Populists
hnd conltrol of the county government
the Democrats be allowed a representa
tive on the boarda of election managers;
Ifiat the Democratic executive commit
tee recommend this and the Populists
would d'o the same, etc.
"You will remember that I urged that
our committee ought to co-operate with
the Populist committee m thts matter
so as to insure a fair election and a fair
Count in our eltCLlons; and I did thla
without assuming or admitting that our
election* had been unrutr In the mnt
or would be unfair In the approaching
oontedts. 'My tine of argument before
the committee woe. that in the first
place the request Bhould he granted be
cause tt. was nlgWt, and in the second
place. It was good policy to grant It. I
urged that tf wus good pcitcy because
We had un overwhelming mnjorlty in
the stale ami could carry the elections
by a mtiijortty ranging from 25,000 to
50,000: and, furthermore, there being u
Break many good cttizeoB bf, Georgia
who ait least had a suspicion that 6ome
of our elections were not exactly fair, a
Democratic vdotory.no nutter how over
whelming, would never permanently
settle any Issue In p'oWtlco till such safe
guards were thrown around the coils
o» to tree the result from the sem
blance of uny such suspicion.
"In 'Uhls position of mine, of all the
members of the executive and campaign
commiWtees whb wore present, none co
incided save yourself and Mr. T. K. R.
Cobb, and I was the only member who
voted accordingly when the ma tter wus
before ns in the shape of a motion.
Therefore the policy *>1 the Democratic
party, II meum rather of the executive
commltlee and campaign committee,
seems well fixed in thht regard; und,
since my views of the manner In which
the campaign should be conducted are
so radically at variance with those of
my brdthcr members, I feel that I can
do nb good by remaining on the com
mittee; in fact, that I would be a bin
drance bather -than an aid.
"Furthermore. I erttertatn views cm
the flnanctnl question iu line with those
of the Mhoun Telegraph and the At-
' lanta Journal, that is, the admlnlstra/-
Won views. The Constitution ami oth
er Democratic newstxroet® and our can
didate for governor declare that: ‘No
man can go upon the stump in the state
of Georgia, and In the name of Democ
racy oppose the free and unlimited coin
age bf silver.’ Then, since It would be
my dufty ns am executive committeeman
to make some addresses In my dittrlot
and elsewhere, and I have Intended to
db so, and you Wad requested mo to
do so, I would do more harm than good
by oonse'erttlously speaking my convic
tions. widen, *s I mid, are In line with
these of the administration.
"For the reasoro above sot forth and

compels me to publish the tetter.
I wired Mr. Clay yesterday morning
a3 'follows: “Is interview with you In
tod ay's Telegraph concerning my resig
nation, .correct ?”
Tost night at 7:17 o'clock he sent me
the following telegram: "Interviewtn-
correct. Just reached here. Wtn see re
porter and correct *t tomorrow."
■Mr. Clay was quoted: as having
•made quite a serious charge against
me, and slime he trad four or
five hours fn 'Atlanbai last night
to "see 'the reporter” of the
Telegraph and have It "corrected” tn
This morning’s Telegraph, it neem* to

he, could have seen to it that the cor-

Hence, on that account, und on acoouwt
of the fact thait be has made public

it may speak for Itself.

Augusta, Ga., Sept 14.—Speaker
Charles F. Crisp of the house of repre
sentatives addressed ono of the largest
gatherings tonight flint has over lis
tened to a speake^ln this couuty.
Mr. Crisp arrived iu the morning and
was the guest of ex-Congressman
George T. Dames. Senator. Patrick
Walsh presided at the meeting, aud the
speaker was Introduced by Congress
man James C. C. Blnok.
Speaker Crisp said he did not hare

irtg, the statement of the Pop
ulist paiper to the contrary, that
It WA3 known in Atlanta Monday night,
I'oAvl'h.itai'.dlng, W H wad known In
Atlanta Monday nlgiiit It Is beyond my
human conception to understand it.
Tile first Intimation I hod 'that it was
known In Atlanta was a telegram to
me from the Populist paper Tuesday
at 11:30 a. m., as foitowu:
“RumoreB here that on account tic
lion Democratic executive committee
refusing division of poll managers, you
as a member of the committee have
resigned. Please wire facts Imane-
dl'aitely,
I replied to this telegram that they
must see Mr. Olay about the affaire
of the executive committee." And t
continued to refuse to say anything
about It, though the Atlanta Constitu
tion requested a fuh statement from
me Tuesday nigL'it, and liter I wus
asked 'about It on all sides. I refused
to balk because Mr. Olay waa denying
In 'the newspapers thait he had received
my resignation. He denied It to the
DSrily Press reporter Tuesday morning.
He denied It to the Constitution Tues-
day night and to the Telegraph Tues-
day night, so .these papers all eatd,
while, as a matter of fact, he wrote me
Tuesday morning Ohls letter being poxt-
,marked ok 12:39 In AUlintn. Tuesday and
was received In Macon Tuesday night
at 8:30) acknowledging the receipt ol

“NOW. She request of Wj'tson was not

vision of nsansgers—nofhlnymore. And
cha: is ok I have ever contended for
netwWhstsrtdlng the zealous efforts of
some gentlemen In high places to make
the contrary appear and to cast odium
upon me.
'After the action of the committee on
the 6th instant, I expressed toy dissat
isfaction, whNe atm in 'Atlanta, to
Judre Williamson of Forsyth, to Hon.
B. U. m-ackburn. HOn. Bob Lewis of

but bad made a great political mistake.

weed that I ns thinking of resigning

Both expressed the hope that I might
not consider that necessary. I state
this for Che reason that Mr. Clay Is
reported In the Macon Telegraph to
have said that I gave no Intimation of
my dissatisfaction wtth the action of

The 3Mer of resignation that I wrote
Mr. Clay was a private letter. I per-

nlglit, unless Mr. GlebmorMr. Black

«httt waiy the Populist paper may have
heard Monday nUghk that I bud,talked
olbout realgn-Ing, ! .ln*l the coincidence
happemAl that I did, in fact, forward
my resignation Monday night. Tills Is
G>e orfly explanation I can offer. I wro.e

The Atlanta Constttutilsn contained
n Wednesday morning what purported
to bo a "soeriul" from Macon, Stating
tihalt "It sensal-Iou mis created here to

tihat some of Ms frtendo say there Is

of that, coming, form Macon was
the part headed "He trtll not tnlk."
The balance of tt was evidently mads
up In the Conrtti'tUUan office In Atlanta.
The Condtltuiabn's oorreuponderet was

Krtosra Nothing Of It,
a little talk with Ills Uoarers about the
Democratic party, the party's Interests,

tions when the Democratic party went
Into power. Ho reviewed the Unauelal
legislation of congress, tho votes on the
silver question, wblcU personally were
n disappointment to him, at he always
believed In the free and unlimited coin
age of both metals.
On the tariff question lie spake at
some length, as this Is tho district that
Tom Watson would like to represent
and tho l’opulists seeking to minimize
the Importance of tariff reform. He ex
plained the burdens of tho McKIuley
aw and the ln-neltts of tho senate bill,
explaining ,ls reductions on the neces
saries of llfo and giving object lessons
with samples of woolen cloths,
The speaker read from the Record a
list of bills Introduced by Populist
members to print nnd issue money for
vis un ity schemes, and suegesled that
tbmr seek to havo passed a law making
every man’s due bill legal tender for
public and private debts. It would lie
a much more convenient method of
Issuing currency nnd the notes would
bo Just ns valuable ns those the Popu
lists wanted tho government to Issue.
In conclusion Mr. Crisp said: "My
friends, ono word In conclusion. I have
told you wliat the Democratic, party
has dune. T havo shown you that wo
havo made a long stride In the direction
of tariff refoTm; I havo shown you that
we have made taxable nil tile money
of tho people: I have shown you that
we have manifested an undying enmity
to all trusts opposed to tho people.
Upon this evidence we build our house,
and upon It we go to the people. For
them wo have fought the good fight, to
them we have kept faith, und of them
we havo no fear."
