To the Editor of The Telegraph:
The great educational delegation from
Georgia reached Madison, the capital
of Wisconsin on ths morning of the
22nd of November, lnatant They were
met at the depot by a delegation from
the corps of professors of the univer
sity and taken in carriages to the
hotel, or other stopping places, and af
ter a short rest, to enable the ladles
to comb the duat of travel from their
hair, the entire party was driven to
the great armory building where a con
vocation of the entire university stu
dent body, the teachers of the Instftu
tlon, and the citizen* of the capital had
been appointed for 11:20 a. m. to groet
the visitors. At the door of the audi
torium the ladles and gentlemen of the
party were separated, the ladles pre
ceding direct to the assembly room,
while the gentlemen filed by a aide
door, into tho armory proper. There
Introductions follows to tho officer* of
the state, and the president, profeeHors
and regents of the university. 1 had
the pleasure of shaking hands with
that “Little Giant** of the west-Gov-
ernor Lafollette, whose recent wonder
ful race for governed* of Wisconsin—
made as a Republican on a Democratic
platform—h*a put a crick in the neoka
of all the leaders of the Republican
machine'* throughout the United
States.
He Is small of body, but he reminds
one of an electrical locomotive ready
geared for speed or hard work. There
Is magnetism In the way he shakes
hands, and 1 could not help congratu
lating him on his phenomenal race,
and its more phenomenal roaults.
After an exchange of civilities, ws
were formed In column by a grizzled
old warrior, who wore the uniform of
United States officer, and who,
afterwards learned, was the command
ant of cadets In tha university—and
with ths two governors at the head
followed by the chancellor and presi
dent respectively of the two universi
ties. wo marched Into the great hall
and ascended the stage. As we en
tered the door the bund struck up
*Dizle'* and the students yelled “Geor
gia.** while the whole assembly rose
to their feet. The strslns nl the old
song continued to gladden our ears for
sometime after we had seated our
selves on the slags.
I can nsver forget the scene. It ap
peared to me as If there were at leasl
ten thousand people In the Immonse
hall, apd every one of them was shout
ing a welcome to the Southern vlzltors.
I have heard our blessed old battle
hymn played many a time, and on
many occaaatonz since the war. but It
seemed to me that I had never In all
my life heard the music so beautifully
rendered, or so exquisitely performed
aa waa done by that young college
band. In that far off Northern region by
the lakes. We hnd brought the sunshine
of the Routh with us. and shouts of
enthusiastic welcome—made us feel at
home in an Instant, and kindled a warm
glow In the heart of avery one of the
visitors. I am not ashamed to say thut
at least one old veteran, who had once
worn the gray, when he heard the
•trains of “Dixie** so unexpectedly and
yet so beautifully rendered, by these
young Northern boys In that aplended
gathering bowed his head, while the
tears fell on the floor of the stage
In a gush of uncontrolled emotion.
They transmitted their words of wel
come Into the music of our own dead
nation’s aohg. and flung the strains nt
our feet, with smiles, like splintered
shafts of sunshlpe.
Buraty there never was a tweeter
welcome given by a Northern elate to
a Houthern delegation.
After this, the speaking
The president. Dr. Van Hist, after a
few words of greeting, called on Gov
ernor Lafollette to Introduce tha first
speaker. Governor Terrell. A great
roar of applause went up as the Win
consln governor came to tha front of
thv stage. It was easy to see that he
was popular with the students and his
own people. Ilia manner Is easy and
his dialect perfect. He bade the Gee
gla visitors welcome, throwing the
open, and then in easy and
genial words Introduced the visiting
governor to tha great throng before
him.
New. the college yella began. For a
time pandemonium waa loose. Tha
names of Georgia and Wisconsin were
mingled togethed. as the boys and
girls all rose to their feet, (you know
there are both sexes In this school) and
shouted their college war cries at tha
very top of thler voices.
“What’a the matter with TerrellT
they screamed, and then the answer
followed. “He’s alright!** Our govern
or waited till the applause had subsid
ed. and then stretching out his hand
with the palm downward, he said:
“Boys, that's very nice. It reminds me
of something I have heard In Georgia.”
at which there was a laugh and a
cheer, and the governor began his
speech.
The governor spoke well. I told his
good wife afterwards that it was the
best speech I had ever heard him de
liver, and I think It was.—taking Into
consideration the crowd and the occa
sion. There Is no Georgian, I am sure,
who would not have been proud of him.
While he was apostrophizing the na
tional flag, In one portion of his
speech, I saw the old warrior that
marched us Into the hall, furtively wip
ing his eyes.
When I spoke to him afterwards of
the fact he sald:“Yas, I was affected:
I have been among your Houthern peo
ple: I went down once against your
will, the next time I went as a visitor,
with your consent, nnd I know your
people, and It did my heart good to
hear the governor of the great state of
Georgia referring to the national flag
In such patriotic terms."
He had belonged to the Union army
that marched through Georgia In the
old Confederate days.
After the governor. Mr. Hill, the
chancellor, was Introduced. He had
been speaking only tor a short time
when one of the professors of the uni
versity lesned over and whispered to
me, "Mr. Hill Is a Northern man Is
he not?’* When I assured him that he
wns Houthern born, he replied. **I did
not think a Houthern man usually
spoke In such fine language.” 1 told
him that I had known Mr. Hill for some
thirty-five years, and never knew him
to fall In a public speech.
After Mr. Hill had spoken the presi
dent Introduced Judge Bam Adams of
Savannnh. The Judge waa in a happy
frame of mind and enlivened his speech
by a number of anecdotes. This was
not expected by us. but he did It so
well, and he raught the crowd so ef
fectually. thnt we dubbed him Im
mediately “the little Joker" much to
his surprise.
Hon. Clark Howell was then Intro
duced. Borne of the crowd knew that
he held a position next to Governor
Terrell In our state government. Borne
of them too had been advised that
there were many people in Georgia ex
porting him In succeed Gov. Terrell.
They gave him the college yell as
he came forward. Just as they had
greeted all before him. He met the
occasion and made a splendid speech,
receiving rounds of applause through
out Its delivery.
Judge Adams had suggested that his
city furnished the largest number of
troops to the Rpnnlah war. and this
gave Mr. Ifnwell a chance to retort
that he had thought Atlanta was not
behind any other city In the union
In this particular. T think the crowd
gathered the Impression thst the two
speakers both believed their own city,
hy contributions to the common cause,
had settled the Spanish war.
I agreed with both of them In their
claims, for 1 remembered that a
young Maconlte, who Is somewhat
closely connected with niy family,
went to the wnr ss first lieutenant
Bavnnnah company, nnd came
out of It captnln of ona of the Atlanta
companies!
After Mr. Howell had finished, Mr.
Peabody was Introduced, ami made a
short talk of about four minutes, dis
cussing tho slgnlflcsnce of the visit,
returning thanks for the splendid wal-
come, nnd closing with the hope that
sometime the Btnte of Wisconsin and
the University would visit the South
In the same good spirit that brought
us tr\ them on this occasion.
The president. Dr. Van Illse had
stated In the course of the exercises
that he had promised the convocation
to close promptly at 1 o’clock. The
result ahows that he was a man of his
word, for after Mr. IVahody had
spoken, the hour of one having been
reached, the great audience was Im
mediately dismissed. This wns done
notwithstanding the fact that the
president had on the programme an
other speaker or two.
Judge Hamilton McWhorter was ex
pected to have responded to the great
welcome In behalf of Mr. Spencer, and
he had prepared In his own Inimitable
way an eloquent five minutes speech
for the occasion.
The lawyers of the state who read
the Georgia replrte can gathers from
the first case In the «Sd Georgia, what
must have been Judge McWhorter'
feelings when the meeting was abrupt-
ly closed. It wns hard to have a speech
slaughtered, but I know very well that

m
the people nf Madison nnd the Univer
sity were the greatest losers.
In our gathering afterwards when
we all hnd a chance to talk, the Judge
made the best speech of the occasion,
without a doubt—arid this ought to
be some consolation to him.
The speeches and the general ap
pearance of the delegation had a good
effect upon all those present. The
audience was # the most splendid In
some respects that I have ever seen:
and when they all heard our peoplo
giving utterance to such strong, pa
triotic words, showing dovotlon to the
government and to the flag of tho
common country, it wns doubtless n
revelation to many of them and pro
duced a marked change in their views.
The vision of horns and cloven feet
nnd forked tall, usually conjured up
by the mention of a Southern man has
gone forever, I am sure, from the pro-
dnets of the Wlaconaln university.
The hearts of the audience nnd the
hearts of the delegates met and mingl
ed. and we knew by that aubtle thrill
that goea from hand to hand and heart
to heart on occasions like this, that
we were Indeed regarded as mem
bers of the same great nation, brethren
meeting together In an honest effort
to advance the material progress of
our several sections.
After these exercises we all entered
on the work of Inspecting and ex
amining the immense aggregation of
