Atkinson, who was on the programme tb, speak, sent a -telegram announcing that he oould not come. Secretary Smith arrived at 11 o'clock yesterday morning and was met at the depot by the following committee: James H. Blount, president of the Young Men’* Democratic Club, Acting Mayor Sperry,'Col. E. D. Huguenln, Col. H. P. 'Moore. J. J. Oobb. Hon. James'H. Blount. R. H. Plant, Judge Hardeman, Walter Grace and a stbre of others of like prominence lie local Democr.utlc circles. The committee escorted Mr. Snilth to the Brown home, where aecoirwnijda- tltna hnd been prepared for. him, and an Informal reception was’ held, many people Blinking hands with the dlsttn- gulshed guaSi. At 8:30 o’clock the speaking began at the Wadley Monument, Hull. James H. Blount. Sr., introducing Secretary Smith after paying a high tribute to Grover Cleveland and the Democratic patty. Me. Smith arose, and. facing the largo audience, began by saying: "Mr. Chairman. Dadles and Gentle men: Ever since the organisation of our government (here has been a party representing the principles of the Dem ocratic party. K baa not always been known as the Democratic party. Its great founder did not give to It the namo’qf Democratic party, but he gave to It the principles of the Democratic party. Since the days of Hamilton and JefTerson we have found people ever ready to confer upon the national gov- cmminit great paternalism. . At the present day we have In our state a new party with such purposes. I desire to night to bring to your attention some of their Issues that are the more repug nant. Even In the days of Mr. Cal houn. even from the time of Mr. Jeffer son, there have been two issues In this country—on bad money and sound money-Mr. Calhoun discussed this sub ject and In one of hi* speeches’on cur rency be says nothing Is more stimu lating than an expanding of currency. At llrst we were presented by the Pop ullsts with what they call the sub-treas ury scheme. 1 am glad to know that even.the third party men themselves decided to abandon the sub-treasury. But they now oomo and ask for the free and unlimited coinage of -liver at a ra tio of 10 to 1. I protest uguinst this remedy, and when I have dona so ask .you to form your oplnkmas to Its good or its foolishness. It Isn’t time that the currency bis been contracted. Between the year 1852 and 1880 the money per capita was 514.70. In 1893-91 the volume of circulating medium Is almost twice as large as In 1850-60. For the past two . years It has averaged 324-50. At nb time prior to 1893 was. the volume of money so large as at tide time. Adding li.92, I eiy without possibility of contra diction. that the volume of money was greater In 1892 to 1894 than at any time In the history of our country. I dis pose bf the question that there has been a contraction of the currency and a-k your attention to life treatment of sil ver. It has been claimed that silver la d-monetized. I shall call your attention to the coinage of silver from 1762 until the repealing clause of the Sherm-.ii act was passed. I believe In blmoi-M tern and wouM.tlel.ght to, see gold anil •liver on a parity. But when the projo- slUoo Is made that this country is to maintain its standard of sliver Inde pendent of the monetary central of the world, i think I hear the voice of the demagogue. The South raises he rot- ton for the world, world, if they do itotbuv we cannot sell. (A voice: ’They can't tJi Without it: they have got to buy It’) Yes. and we can’t do without them. You say they caa't do without our cotton. Suppose the masses of the people are too poor, they would be •»bilged to do without our cotton and we would be yampetled to give It to them. If we estibftohed a system of bhrts'.-d- llsm we would be .benefited four-fifths t , .heir one-fifth. V Is the sMtesman- i-blpof blind Idiocy that would separate u- from our best customers. "Now tet ui> take up the question a little further. To lav the bullion In a filter dollar is worth 49 cents. If you took your crop to Europe they would f law you 49 cents. It would be tueiess then except to sand back to this coun try-. The government (has stopped the pilichime or bullion and i-tupp,-.! tin- coinage bf artificial money. By artlt - clal means the government maintains a sliver dollar at purvuluc and makes It good by taking it tor debt. The entire amount of sliver bullion In the country could be passed through the treasury each year for debt. TCie government of the United Statevav. Ilio I] I’..is v n my stamp on It anil tone Is no good as Che other. There tire today eight differ ent kinds of money, und you may never know thl$ dllTe.-ence. but the treasury of the United States knows, and by Ju dicious management keeps them on a parity. What kind of condition would dhls country be In It thee eight kinds of money were not on n parity. Some one has said that a debased currency fer tilities the rich man’s field- with the sweat of the poor man's brow. In 1792 Jefferson prepared the scheme for bi metallism and he declared that In fixing the ratio of gold and silver It was nec tary to oompare the bullion value. Jefferson declared tbalTthe trot must be- a commercial anil not a legal one, and recommended that the ratio be 15 to 1. and we started In 1792 to coin sli ver ad a ratfo of 15 to 1. The later day cry to that we are deprived of paying °“r debts with silver. I say It Is false. Mr. Smith then took up the tariff, and at a considerable length ne gave the crowd a clear understanding of the benefits to be derived from a low tariff. Every de tail wus taken up separately, und he bad the figures right on ils longue's end to substantiate eaoh statement.' lie proved conclusively that ho had made a close study of'the tariff question and was fa- mlltar with his theme. His remarks on this line were perhaps clearer and gave his hearers a better understanding of the Intricate tariff question than any speaker who. has addressed the people of Macon on the same line In many years. From the tariff Mr. Smith took up She absurd and ridiculous measures Introduce,! In congress and the senate by tho l’opulists, and hie keen sarcasm In dealing with them brought forth repeated cheers. A leading Popu.lst In the audience asked the speaker several questions, lmt his ready retorts were so disadvantageous to the Populists that the questioner decided that it was best for his cause to koep quiet, and he did so. while the crowd enjoyed his dis comfiture. Mr. Smith expressed many of the fallacies and vivid hallucinations of the third party and showed his hear*!* pl , a .1’ straightforward reasoning that the platform at the Populists was not only altogether Impracticable, out that it was foolish, and it put hi operation would .©aa.tho people to ruin ami destruction. It would tax tho people of Georgia bbj cflt of the people of Kansas and the West, and that to carry out the conditions of the bills Introduced la con tras* ^ ij 0 Populists, would take about 553,000.000.000 or five times as much money as there Is In the world. He showed them how the Populists proposed ror the government to own-and operate the rall- roade of the country, the coal’ mines and other Industries, and to regulate the wages laborers should receive, and concluded racy an aWc and HoffUent plea for ( lk-moe- At the conclusion of Mr. Smith’s re. marks tho crowd called for Hon. Flem auulgnon of Savannah, who was seated on the rostrum. Mr. duBlgnon, who waa hoarse from continued sneaking throughout the state, stated that he could hardly utter u word, arose and addressed the audience briefly. In opening his re. marks, sild that If the Democratic party can play to n circus and the "Girl I Left Behind Sit." what can It do with Tom Matson and his museum of dime freaks. He continued for about ten minutes In an eloquent manner thabenugnt the crowd TO®. arid paid an eloquent tribute to President Cleveland, he ml and prolonged applause was given when Mr duBlgnon closed, - pic crowd then cabled for Judge Bart lett and Hon. Dupont Ouerry. Judge Bartlett responded and spoke for fifteen minutes in his characteristic, forcible manner. The crowd then broke up und otic of the greatest and most effective Democratic rallies ever held In Bibb coun ty closed. GORMAN DENOUNCED. Democnaita Declare He and Gibson Unfilt'to Be Senators.

TREATED WITH CONSIDERATION Not Only Old Ho Give Her Four Year* Kent Bnt Atceiled to tile IloqMtit of Her Krpreicntatlve About the Sale Of Laud* Saratoga, Sept. 24.—All the friends of the meu with booms, dnd'aU Uieiith- ers who object to William ,T. Gaynor ns a candidate for governor are tin,ting lu an effort to defeat hi* nomination, No one nlan Is being urged for tho piano against him. The schema Is to undermine his, posi tion and then scramble for toe nomi nation. The Tammwytics and many others prefer nny man to Gaynor, and Ills Well-Known, independence of ma chine dictation Is not acceptable to them. They are leaving no stone un turned to accomplish his defeat. Judge Gaynor has the support of many Dem ocrats who uro wise eiumgti lo see that a machine man 1s Hot the man to win, and that n man who nas strength out side of Ills parly is needed. * The whole situation has been thor oughly'canva&sod by Senator Hill'and tho party leaders add they have de cided that Gaynor Is tho man. Whether their selection tan withstand tho com bined attacks of tlio dlssatlsfled from now until nominations are made, is a question. iris conceded that llie Republicans prefer to see some other man nomi nated by tho Do nocnlta amt that they are doing wlmt .hey can to help In de- fltroullig Judge Gay nor. The friends of the latter assert, however, that all these nllaekR upon his private llfo-.W.Il react In his favor, as every charge'inn he met and he can be shown to have acted the part of an honorable man. Tt Is practically settled that David B. Hilt will he the temporary chairman and he nlay lie continued as permanent chairman, lUthotun there ts talk of se lecting a Cleveland Deihocrnt for tha latter position. The couimlttco of citizen? headed by Cdleb Mitchell, president „f the village trustees, lmd n long find heated con ference with Dr. Edward Everett Halo and a dozen representatives of tne Unitarians this morning, the town tub tliorltlcs asking 'the Uttlldrinus to re linquish tlielr prior claim at tho con vention liall, so tho Democrats call meet ’ there,. Mrtyor Gilroy, Iloiirhn Cockran aud other Democrats wore present when the meeting began, They, however, withdrew after stating tlmt they lmd nrningod with the toivn au thorities for tho hall weeks ago; and tho dispute was for them to settle. Tho townspeople told the Unitarians tlmt no attempt was being madu to break faith with them and ncknowl- edged their prior engagement of the hall. They asked the Unitarians -to give way to the Democrats ami hold their conference In the Presbyterian church, which they offered for the purpose. ' j They pointed out tlmt the clmreli ivns large enough for the Unitarians, lmt that nothing hut convention hall would accommodate the Democratic conven tion. It was also made clear tlmt spe cial press facilities, including nlkiut twenty wires and tablet for one hun dred corrcsponilqnts have been provided in convention lull, while any other place that could be used Is .without wires mul press facilities. Tin- Unitarians refusal to yield. They finally made rt proposition offering tlio Democrats tho uso of Convention hall Tuesday afternoon for their prelimi nary organization and offered to tub- scribe ?100 towards fitting up any other hall for tho Democrats. The pro prietors of the United States hotel, who arc blamed by the townspeople for put ting them In (his dllcitutui, offered to subscribe another tlOP. These subscription propositions drew from some of the l)emo:ratlc politicians tho sarcastic rSprark tlmt "those people must think wc need money." 'Pho lint, tartan people compromised. They will give up tho halt tomorrow from 12 noon, until 6 o'clock In the afternoon. On Wednesday nt It o'clock, tho Dcmocrati will convene at the old Caalno, where Governor Flower was nominated and fin ish whoa burners remains. The refusal of the Unitarians-to accept the offer of a church made them will 'cause the greatest confusion. The newspapers nnd press as sociations will suffer much by this, a there are no wires ut the Caalno. The to,remittee on credentials are prom ised a heavy Job with the contests. There half a dozen from other parts' of the state besides Brooklyn and Now York city. With Gaynor cut t.f lhe way, hope re vived m the ureoale of other aspirants, and the talk ft Whltnoy Increased, but only the action of the convention or some now move upon the political checkerboard tomorrow will determinate who Is to bo tho opponent of I.ovl P. Morton. For lieutenant governor; cx-Kenator John L. Lin-on of Kingston is must prom. Inent, and there Is talk ut a Buffalo msn. Bpencer Clinton or-Judge Titus, for Judge of tho court of appeals. The convention -.vlll congratulate the country on the rctittn'ng prosperity fol lowing the repeal of tho purchasing clause of the Khcrmxn law and the repeal of tho McKinley tariff law. It will com mend those features of the new tariff law which agree with tho Democratic principles of free raw ruterlils, and In a measure voice the sentiments expressel by President Clevelsnd to Congressman, Wilson while the tariff bill was In confer ence. It will deprecate any further general revision of the unit, out will advocate the passage of separate Mils for the cor rection of certain schedules. It wall en dorse President Cleveland's nihnli-iit,. tlon as conducive to the beet interests at the coun'ry. The Income tax provision of the new tariff bill will bo condemned. The pisiform will also likely contain a plank deprecating the es|atsnce or or ganizations having for their object the de. (Continued on psge c.) Atlanta, Sept. 24.—(Special.)—Hon. W. Jf. Atkinson was ut campaign hcait- quar.tera today. One of the mutters brought up anil discussed was the card published l>y Mrs. Julia Itowe of Merlwether, county, about which the Populist papers mul speakers have made such a noise. Jll'S.

Ib refutation of all that ban been said about the matter, Mr. AtklnsJti today said; “It Is ono more Instance where rt- ,man's generosity Is turned ngaliiBt him In an effort to Injure him by tlio un grateful reclpieut of his kluilitess.
