THE MATCHLESS BRYAN.
addressed
THE
CITIZENS OP NORTHEAST GEORGIA HERE
ON LAST WEDNESDAY.
The Most Magnificent Speech Ever Heard in Georgia—Great Crowds
Listened and Applauded—A Great Day for Gainesville.
Hon. William, Jennings Bryan
addressed the people of Northeast
Georgia at the auditorium here
last Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock,
There was such a gathering of the
people as seldom comes together
in this delightful mountain town
of Georgia. From every direction
the people came, and Mr. \ Bryan
was accorded such a demonstra
tion as any man might well feel
proud of. He was applauded and
cheered, and cheered and applaud
ed until it seemed as if the people
would go wild over him. It might
be truly said of him, “He came,
he saw, he conquered. ”
As the 10:87 a. m. train arrived
from Atlanta, Mr. Bryan was met
by the president and directors of
the chautauqua association, the
Mayor and council of the city, and
a large concourse of people from
Hall and surrounding counties.
As Mr. Bryan alighted from the
train the band struck up a lively
troduemg Mr. Bryan as the trib
une of the people- the man who
had arisen to lead the Democratic
hosts to victory, as did the great
heroes of old lead their forces in
triumph. Bryan as the great
Democratic chieftain, he predicted,
would lead the common people to
a glorious victory in 1900.
As Mr. Bryan arose to make his
address the audience cheered voci
ferously, many men and ladies
rising to their feet and waving
their handkerchiefs, and the more
enthusiastic yelling themselves
hoarse.
Colonel Bryan spoke for two
hours and every minute of the
time he was given the closest at
tention. The audience lent for
ward to eatch every word that
dropped from his lips, and time
time again he was applauded.
He spoke plainly yet eloquently
and his style caught the crowd.
They seemed to. feel that in him
they had a true and sincere leader,
and they wanted to take in every
word he uttered. No orator or
speaker here has ever been given
the attention that was accordec
him.

air and as he was escorted to the
carriage with Governor Candler
the great crowd almost yelled it
self hoarse. The procession of
carnages was soon formed and Mr.
Bryan was driven up Main street,
around the public square, out
Washington street to the Semi
nary where he was assigned to a
room at Yonah Hall, where he
made preparations for the speak-
ingi at the auditorium.
Introductions to prominent
citizens were concluded at the
Mel and the party marched, to thh
auditorium where the speaking
took place. As Mr. Bryan enter
ed the hall with Governor Can
dler he wus given a great ovation
b y the assembled multitude.. On
the stage with Mr. Bryan were the
Governor and^ his staff, Congress
man L. F. Livingston, the presi
dent and directois of the chautau-
^ Ua > Mayor and council of Gaines
ville and a reception committee of
prominent citizens.
President Van Hoose of the
cb autauqua association in a few
w ell chosen words presented the
Governor, who delivered a most.
9x celienfc and happy speech in in-
Mr. Bryan began his speech by
taking up the questions of govern
ment and the relations of the peo
ple thereto. He discussed the
different phases of ..civil govern
ment and how the people had,
from time to time, as the worlc
progressed, dealt with and dis
posed of matters of vital import.
He said he trusted the people at
all times anjl m all things, anc
was in favor of them exercising
every right under the constitution,
instead of delegating to the trusts
and monopolies the right to rule
in their stead.
i >
Mr. Bryan made a powerful
arraigment of the money powerB
of the world and said that while
they pretended to, be the friend of
the common people they were
always at work in the interest of
legislation that would throttle the
people’s rights and serve to turn
gold into their own coffers and
protect their own interests.
In the discussion of the money
question Mr. Bryan was evidently
at his best. He explained fully
the meaning of the Chicago plat
form upon the question of finance
and pointed, out the benefits to be
derived from opening the mints
to silver, and cutting off the un
just discrimination against the
white metal. He argued for bime
tallism and the independent action
of the United: States with regards
to silver, believing this the only
way we will secure recognition for
silver money. He said the other
countries would come to our own,
standard when once we had the
backbone to act for ourselves in
dependent of other nations. Free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 was
what the people wanted and it
would bring prosperity.
Mr. Bryan’s views on imperial
ism were evidently in accord with
those held by the audience, for his
remarks were greeted with* the
heartiest applause. He took up
the declaration of independence
and said the American people were
still standing bv it, notwithstand
ing the republicans were arguing
that we had outgrown it. Thomas
Jefferson was not for expansion,
and Mr. Bryan declared it was
against the principles of this gov
ernment to war for conquest, as
the McKinley administration was
now doing in the Philippine is
lands. He declared that the Fil-
lipinos should be given the liberty
for whieh.they had so many years
fought, and be allowed to govern
themselves. The arm of the great
American people was right ,^not
might, and whereever it was out
stretched for suffering humanity
it meant peace and protection, not
bloodshed and carnage for per
sonal aggrandizement.
The speech throughout was a
magnificent effort and Mr. Bryan
strengthened the eause of democ
racy by his appearance here. At
the close of the speech, Col. L. F.
Livingston was introduced and
made a happy ten-minute talk.
He declared Mr. Bryan’s light
would lead the democratic' hosts
out of darkness into the dazzling
brilliancy of success.
Mr. Bryan and Gov. Candler
were requested to stand where the
people could shake their hands as
the audience passed out of the
building and hundreds took advan
tage of the opportunity of shak
ing hands with the next president
of the United States.
A luncheon was tendered Mr.
Bryan at Yonah Hall at 4’ocloek,
covers being laid for seventy-five.
An elegant menu was spread and
the dining hall and hotel were
beautifully and profusely decor
ated in honor of the distinguished
guest. After the luncheon Mr.
Bryan was driven over the city
and at 8 o’clock left for Atlanta
enroute to his home.
Gold Miners Met.
A meeting of the Southern Gold
Miners Association was held at the Ar
lington hotel Tuesday morning at 11
o’clock. There was not a very large
attendance of members but the meeting
was one of the best yet held. Mr. O.
C.Scupm was elected temporary sec
retary in tlie absence of the regular
secretary, Walter P. Andrews. Presi
dent H. D. Jaquish presided over the
meeting. * Interesting papers were read,
by Mr. A. W. Irvine on assaying; Mjv
George E. Collins on amalgamation,
and a most timely and instructive
speech was made by Mr. John Wilkes
on the general topics of mining. , The
discussion proved to be very beneficial
to t£e members and much good will no
doubt result from the meeting.
The association adjourned to hold its
next meeting in Atlanta on the first
Saturday during the State Fair in Oc
tober. A number of applications were
received and the membership of the
assoe.ation is* growing.
