the speaker of the house of representa

At 7 o’clock Mr. Crisp was escorted

the disposal of Demooracy, land there
sc venal hundred Democruts of Mncon

of Mncon. and JiMglng from the targe
number iflhat surged Into the part-ora of
the airmory, where ‘the reception was

very anxious to know Mr. Crisp.
At 8 o'clock Mr. Crisp, accompanied

Hardeman, Hem. iDutpont Guerry, Hon.
Jtamevs H. Blount, Sr.. Hon. -N. E. Har
ris, ITon. Price Gilbert at Oolltalbua am'i
several others, entered the lingo drill
room, which was packed with one of
the most Intelligent audience* ever
oongregnted In Maoon, to the number
at ulbout 2,000. while the gallery wap
filled with ladles and their escorts. The
speaker's ptaltfortn was erected directly
opposite the entrance doors. As the
I-cople m the hall recognized the speak
er on entering 'the door tumultuous ap-
pteu3e Phook the huBdtng. The ap
plause continued until the speaker and
those who accompanied Win were seat
ed on the rostrum, on which were
placed three enormous bouquets of out
flowers. Then when trio applause had
in a measure subsided Mr. James H.
Blount, Jr., president! of the Young
Men’s Democratic Club, arose and in
a few brief remarks Introduced Hon.
Price Gilbert of Columbus.
Mr. Gilbert addressed the audience
briefly, but tn a manner 43m impressed
Ml hearers. His words were plrhy nnd
pointed and were directed chiefly nt the
Populists. In closing hto remarks ho
eatd he would make way for trie dis
tinguished speaker who was to follow
h Hon. Dupont Quarry then arose and
Introduced Hon. Charles P. Crisp. In
doing so Mr. Guerry raid M won his
{Measure to introduce one who in . na
tional prominence Blood sectoral only to
one and who In national Importance
stood accord to none. Ho spoke of Mr.
Crisp In the moot gtowlng terms, and
In concluding raid that he would not
present the speaker as Hon. Charles F.
Crisp, speaker of trie house of repre-
sentotlves, nor as Hon. Charles F.
Crisp, congressman of .the United
6lutes, but would present him as we
knew him, Hon. Charles F. Crisp of
S Loud Cheers followed Mr. Guerry'a
Introduction, and utter the speaker
iro3e K *wda flom« minutes before tine
SJSSl was quiet enough for him to
encak In a few minutes all wus quiet,
KwwveJ, and the speaker begun._
Judge Crisp began by saying,
ail. and lYdlow Citizens: In order that
yem may understand—to order that you
may excuse the language or the gen
tleman who has Introduced me-I want
InVTv that we have long been friends,
but I never knew until tonight now
much he thought of me. and I now
ms that all hi baa said of me I «a> oi
him. I tttve oome here ftt . t 5 4 ®
tlon of your young men. and I win not
rneak to your passions or Y? ,ur .P. r ’^ u r
dlc2b but ippe^l lo you at intelllgen't
people. If the -people ore to be repre-
fenSd by a re presen t* tive you should
know who is rewx^nUnKyou. I don t
want any* man to be a
ply because Mi ftrther wo# a Democrat,
r‘A . ^ v,wiloirsd llio nnriv tn
but became be believe the party to
be the proper one. The Democratic
party is in <t meisure on trial* find I
am here tonight to show you what we
have dons.’* . ^
At this moment Jod«e Bartlett en
tered and *b>ok band3 with the speak
er amlil great apokiuie.
"Last August. he continued, "con-
proa was called together by the presi
dent Business wm at a etand.-tlll and
k dtetrcrioimr ©tabs of aS«ir* existed. I
do not pretend to claim that the condi
tion of thins* existing In this country
& year u rt 'o were due to bad legiolatfoh.
Rvnlcs cotna porlodlcr.lly,' but If bail
laws helped to create the panic It was
Republican law, os the Republicans
Save made all the laws in this country
for tho past thirty years. When we
got there we found silver demonetized,
tout in 1878 we passed a law for the par
tial coin-axe of silver. ThU continued
until 1S90. The Democratic party from
the day of its birth has been in favor uf
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. There must be in every ©oun'try
where commerce exists a money of Jlnal
redemption. Greenbacks, or paper
money, la not money of Anal redeidp-
lion. tiuoh as ©liver tor gold, anil ao you
diminish the amount of money you In
crease the tourden on the people. If
you have $100,000 In sold iand $100,000 in
ailver and abolish .the 5100,000 in silver
you diminish the currency.
Panic arise* from a suspicion on the
pert of the people as to the inability
of a bank or the government to pay. If
nobody owed anything and we could
©trike balance and start even it would
not make much difference what kind of
money you had. but the people ar» In
debt.
The Democratic party believe© in bi
metallism, but -there Is a difference of
opinion In the patty a© how to get It.
When we took a vote we voted on 16 to
1 ud to 20 to 1. Every vote was ad
verse and we then •vpenled the Sher
man clause. I regretted this, as I have
always been In fawor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and am now.
The Democrat© will settle this quan
tum. Don’t ybu recofilect 'how we stood
on the tariff, how we were divided?
But year after year we fought, and
Anally ir -the Aftleth congress, tlhe Dem
ocrats 'got together and passed the
Mills bill and they will get together nnd
pass the silver bill In the same way.
Our tariff bill is belittled toy the Popu
late—-they claim to want to adjust the
finance©, end yet their speakers, who
will talk of millions and billions wit the
utmost ease, won’t say anything about
the tariff,
What b the tariff? It is a tax—a tax
Imposed by the United States on prod
uct© nrattntactured and otherwise pro
duced abroad. Now let me ©how you
how it affects you. It wlW come to the
ripheet and the axxxrest man. This tar
iff builds a wall around the United
State© and when anybody want© to
bring anything into the United States
he has to. pay a tax—under the McKin-
ley bill it was a 50 per cent, ad valorem
tax. Of course the consumer pays the
tax. Now. what Is the effect? Sup
pose triere Is a man In Maoon who wants
to make hate. Could he sell a 'hat for
a dollar? He carries It to market and
asks What he can cot for It. 'He Is told
$1.50—$1 for the hat and 60 cants for
tax. and this 60 cents, goes 'into the
pocket of the manuf.idrarer. Another
Instance: Suppose a Bibb county farm
er brings 100 bales of ootton Into Ma
con and.is told the price is 6 cents. Who
flxcu that price? Why, the people in
o,M e 7e°.°, ' ,^ nfl ask8 why and Is
’old .that things are Cheaper in Liver
pool than In the United States, .lie takes
. n „ to Ltverwtol und sells It,
?hW, h D 0 , th * , clotlMn ff nod other
things he wants at low prices and starts

They did 'dhe best they could: but did
you ever Ohlnk about tt that a crowd
Atotor Irian trio slowest
n*Mi In Bt wianltevo ®o; but Anally they
got togeOher nnd pssstU it. The sen'.vio
Woo got no rules, und yet 'there are gen-
tlcmeu all over trie country who want
Sn5°J2!r5:.V N ?* r ' 1 “m'readr to de
fend triulc bill. I wanted n better one,
but as I didn't get it, I will defend the
one we have. (Here he invited Popu-
»ets end otriers to oak «lm questions.)
Now, about trie sugar 'truelt. The
Populists any we give money llo cbe
sugar trust. Ths Ilepubtleins passed
a 'tow In 1800 to give atx-tentlha of a
cant per pound on reflned sugar, but
we met them anU fought triem va long
and hard fight. Money Is power; you
raay despise money, but It 13 power.
We found the sugar-trust In possession
of Itrie Stolen goods, os it were, apd we
lect 'thorn wltlh only half to u more
convenient season.
INow, to go bek to trioit wall around
trie country. We passed by Ithe act of
'94 a Us saying that a number of
products Should come 4n without the
tax—-we reduced the Max on a number
of others. This, of <x>urs?, Is trot much
to a Populist who deals'with billions,
but to honest, hartlaWoa-klng Democrats
1't Is a good deal. Wc reduced trie lax
on woolen goods three-quartcra. What
doesflultmean? It means more money
because It means Cheaper living and
its good effects are always felt. it
will promote commerce and trade nnd
will be 'the exchange of bno commodity
for another. The farmer can't swap
Ms cotton to a man who don’t need It,
but Ifhero Is n medium of money by
Which trie exchange Is muds,
iWlhwt die did the Democrats do. We
passed a law imposing an income tnx
of 2 per cent, on dll Incomes over $4,000.
DM you over think that every dollar of
tax Imposed Ihy itrie United States Is on
consumption. Now, the Democrats
thought ntxut It would only be right to
pat a tax on a man's income. If the
government ha's got to protect your
pnopepty, Is it nbt right 'that property
should pay tor tttot protection? Nobody
likes to pay taxes. There Is only one
man on eurfh who hkoe to pay taxes,
oral he is trie protected manufacturer.
Now, our party friends ray trie Demo-
otur.lc party Is controlled by Wall
street. If unit Is so, why Is it that we
put a tax of $30,000,000 on Wall street,
arid yet they ray tone Democrats favor
Wall Street.
We repealed the federal election lam-
trie people of Georgia claim 'd the K«i
to control their own elections, and I
know tbt't elections in Georgia are as
fair as iKcbo anywhere.
'We reduced expenditures about $28,-
000.000, although trie expenses of «ri»
government have Increased.
Now, While Krie people at home have
been complaining, your representatives
In congress have been doing all they
coufd. You can’t undo trie work of
thirty yearn In a Short time. Here trie
speaker took up and dissected trie Pop-
Uriit pMahtonn wish trie keenest ond
wildest sarooam, which wm grootly
enjoyed by trie audience. A few years
ago, he mid, trie grandioppera wont to
Kaneis, then trie cranboppera left 'and
the Populists went triere, and did more
barm in Ibrce yeans than the grass-
hoppera would tzave don* In ten years.
He then went on to tell how trie third
party was formed In KCnaai and of trie
wlM vugarlraund visions of Us leaders,
reading from die Oor.greMtonal Record
the title of some of trie bills Introduced
by Peffcr, Davis, Clover and ethers,
and speaking of them In Ihe anon
ic.rjhlog earoum possible. The speaker
went over the list of Populist bigs and
the craned enjoyed the manner In which
he ridiculed them. -
I believe In a local currency nnd I
would like to see a. -money that nobody
else would take, ao then we could keep
It a't home.
The South, he continued, would
not bo benefited by any of
■the bills Introduced by the Pop
ulate. They mere all framed for Kan
sas arid the West arid no benefit would
come tt> the South. The North and
West would get all trie money these
modest -people would ipay out, While our
taxes would be Increased to pay them
trie many trillions of dollars fhetr bill*
call tor, as the government can only
tvaise money by taxation. Have you
ever thought of trie fact'that only about
10 per cent, oftrio money Issued comes
to trie Soutl), and that even t'iva't grad
ually goe3 back to trie North In taxa
tion to,pay pensions, etc. Nha-, nil this
money'the Populists talk about Issuing
wouM bo won to less und would have no
purchasing power. They talk about
buying 'toe railroads, but If all trite
money was tamed, trie polflroads would
not sell. and. thank God, our forefath
ers unldelpuSted thn't some- such party
would npring up and fixed things so
that trie goveromeiz: ounntxt cooflsab.e
private property. 'Populists riave seen,
trio railroads and like triem, I suppose,
but Whoit they iwarit with them or ex
pect to do wilih them I don’t know.
The state of GCarglu owns one ra.nl,
but you can't ride on It any cheaper
than on other roads nor ship your
freight over it at lower nolle, and yet
they want 'toe raHrookls, the iwlegnapri
a'lilt telephone 3tne3, so aa to create hun
dred's of triousutds more federal oltlces
tor IrieimseOrves. Trie next time you hear
a Populist speak, ask him if any one
of trie MBs'offered by trie Populists In
cougrera wouM benefit the South, and
see If rie can say yes. They win# to
create wn Indiwtrtal standin'g army of
600,000 men for the government to feed,
Shelter arid clothe. The average cos:
of maintaining the present standing
army Is $1,000 per capita, and you can
make your own figures on tire coat of
mulinftvlning 500,000 more.
They wamltto Irrigate land in Kinsia,
catch win waiter In Kansas und do
many other 'ahling3 to Kansas, but they
don't wunt to help Georgia. Kansas Is
the homo of tlhe PCpullsta und yet this
same Kansas riao oDwuys been the en
emy of the South arid trie Southern
people. Why, in trial! state tho statute
*.iys no Confederate soldier oan ihbld
office, and yet these are trie people you
vote -to benefit when you vote with trie
Populists.
Mr. Crisp literally flayed trie Popu-
Usbs alive with sarcasm Without utter
ing one single butter speech.
The speaker spoke of the upproaChlng
election and ai'td rie would be frank
and say that wwno be was In WUeMng-
t'on rie favored Gen. F.vrin) to trio re
cent cinlpllign, but nonv that Atkinson
was the nominee of trie party rie fa
vored total, and the people Should all
come out and vdte tor rilm—give him
a godd otd-ttm'e Democratic majority.
He a'W» spoke of tlhe November elec
tion, and sold trie Dorniocraific party
was born of trie government and wlhen
'the Democratic party died 'the govern
ment would die. He concluded by urg
ing everybody to vote nnd do tridr Su l
duty to making the majortty in the
coming state election aa Mijps o» poj*
stole, as trie PbpUlteia rittd first an
nounced tttuaU 'they would carry Ten
nessee, but tolleW: then they said they
wtouM carry MtsuMIppl. MA tatott.
They newt claimed Ariia-naie und failed,
then failed tn Alabama, and now they
are trying to carry GeotgSu— our Geor
gia-and trie eyes of trie country were
onto. We must a« do our duty,
As Mr. Crisp sat down the audience al
most Uhanhnously calledf or llaj. Bacon,
who was seated on trie stand, but before
Jlaj. Bacon could riso Mr. James H.
Blount raised a largo and handsome
bouquet above ,his head, at the nunc
time exclaiming: “I have been requeued
to present this bouquet to the next vice-
president of the United States.” At Jhls
tho crowd nearly went wild. Men yelled
and slapped each - other on the bacs,
while trie ladles In the gallery clapped
their hands and waved their handker
chiefs. Mr. Crisp, with the gallantry and
grace of a Chesterlleld, accepted the bou
quet with a bow, while but tew noticed
thut Ills face wascrlms on with Kunhes.
MaJ- Bacon then asked the crowd to
excuse him. os It was late, and he knew
It wne only through kindness they had
called for Mm. At thlB too crowd begun
leaving, but many still called for toe
next United States senator from Georgia.
It io rate to say that no public man
was over more cordially received In Ma
con than Hoh. Charles F. Crisp. His
home county of Suinler could not show
more admiration and esteem for him, and
the crowd that congregated In the spa
cious hall, both in numbers and in intelli
gence was a compliment of wnicna nny
man might well feel proud.
. Mr, Crisp's speech was Blmply Incompar
able. There were no embellishments, no
flights of eloquence, no attempt at ora
tory. It was a plain exposition of facts,
accompanied by toe most biting sarcasm
between those lines that referred to too
Populists. After hearing such a ipeech
there was no surprise among his hearers
that suen * man was chooon for one ot
the highest gifts of the nation, and they
will welcome the day .when he shall re-
tU Mr. Crlap leaves this morning for Rome,
where he will speak tomorrow morning.

quet, the former winning.
Jeroir.o Park, N. Y„ 8:pt. 27.—Less
thou 0. thousand persons wltneased tne
rarces today. The weather tvs* threaten
ing, bat a rather poor card was probably
responsible fer the slim attendance, rtavor-
ltes captured but three ef toe seven
events. The third race, toe Oakwood
stake* had only two starters, but It
proved to be the beet raco of tho day.
Clifford and Banquet were toe starters,
the former -being a hot favorite. The pair
got away to u perfect start, neither hav
ing any advantage. Doggett Immediately
took Uinquet out in front a length and a
half to the good. Griffin did not move
on Clifford until the turn In toe stretch
was reached. Then he eut loose. A fur
long from homo he got Clifford's ncae to
toe front, but Banquet hung on gamely.
From triere the pair raced heads (.part.
Clifford finally won cleverly by a neck.
Trio time was very good for this track.

send© an account of tho ntvval battles

The Japanese fleet that kept in the

having completed ono circle, followed off

through an evolution with tho obj-sgl
of Beparatiix* into two dlvMon©, tho

Vision wo© iineguiar and lUillcult to fol

jieurlng In ulo aueeuon of Hal-Yung-
Too. •
The first Japanese division carried on
tho fight wim tne lron-ciaa© by oiroltni;
uround at a dim.tnco of 4,6u0 yards, the
Onen-Yuen and Ting-Yuen keeping to-
getnar, followed the enemy’s move
ments In a smaller circle, th% whoJe
evolution taking a spiral lorm. Oo:a-
slonully the dlsbtn^o between the (Op
posing ships wm deduced to 2,000 yaraa
and unco to 1.2(KT yards. The Japancao
aimed at keeping g long dtstanco away#
bo as to avail thftmooives of their su
perior speed and make the moat of their
quick-firing guns, whfolt vastly excelled
tno Chlnefle guns. Tho object of Uto
Chinese was to coma to cflosu quarter©
eo as to uso their alow-firing guns of
large cullbro with full effect.
The firing continued between the Jap
anese first division: and the Chinese
Iron-clads uu»Ml nearly G o'clock In tho
afternoon. The aulclcftrlng «un« gave
the former am. immense ud vantage,scat-
tering .showers of ©pUntcra mul ou»a-
slonully acttlng tho Chincwe shliw on
lire and riddling everything that wua
not protected by armor.
In the lift ter part of the battle thrf
OUMSft iron-cktdi ran short of common
shell and continued 'tho action with
eteel shot. Till© wna effective, as tho
J<npane*o vessels had no armor. Tho
Iron-clnds fired 197 rounds with 12-inch
gunfi and 2G3 round© wltli €-lnali ghns.
About 4 o’clock Ihe Tlng-Yuoni wua
badly on firj forward, tho smoko im
peding the working of tho fore turret.
Before G o’clock the Japanese had
ceased firing and tlio dlstanoe bo tween
the fleets wus rapidly Increasing.
In regard "to tho ooncluwlbn« to ba
drawn from the butt/le. it may bo sold
that the Chinese battler 'ships proved
formidable. Tho Chinese Iron-claUa
stood the battering of tho heavy quick-
firing ghne admirably. Their upper
structure * were severely damaged, but
not a ©hot peneitniUrd a Vital part.»Tho
bairketto (protection of tho 12-lnch gun©
was most effective, very few men. being
wounded within 1ltS barbettes. Tho bar-
bdlte turrets 'were as iatact after tho
uctlon as before.
’Ibis fact, 'however, oouplcd with the
fact that the 6-Inch «%un© at both enfln
of the ©hip©, which were only slightly
protected, were also undamaged, seems
to Indicate that Efio destructive effect
was due to the enormoiu number of
pivlcctlies from tho qulck-hrlng guns
rather thrjij V) the sklMed direction of
tho ©hote. The mnnouver&ig of tho Jap-
niui-MT flnst division did great exocullon.
i a king advantage of their speed and
the long rantgo bf ihelr gun©, they al
ways kept at the distance that suited
them. maintaining perfect order
throughout fhe flglit, attempting noth-
ng senfla.tlon.il and never coming with
in range of tho heavy gun© of the Chi
