ATLAXTA’S DFMOtIHACY.
X THRILLING SPEECH TO A CROWD.
The Junior Senator from <;,>ortrla Talks
About I'ublio I.sues—He Is Strong for
tho Free Coinage of Silver.
Senator Patrick Walsh had a rousing re
ception at the hands of the Fulton county
democracy Friday night.
Georgia’s junior senator came to At kin tn
to speak at the bidding of the Fulton Coun
ty Young Men’s Democratic league.
He came and completely conquered his
*udtence and won golden opinions from
those who had never before had the pleas
ure of hearing him speak.
Senator Walsh war greeted by hundreds
of democrats, who with enthusiasm through
out and intense Intervet heard him apeak
for more than two hours. It was a great
night for th* democracy of Fulton county.
It showed that there is life in the land
and plenty of it. It was a rousing evi
dence of the fact that the democracy of this
county is wine awake, in spite of what the
populists are telling in their speeches from
every stump in the state.
Ua.rrai.r hortl.cn Speak*.
When Governor walked out to the
brink of the stage there was a shower of
applause that retarded Isis speech for sev
eral moment*.
He finally found his way open, and spoke
as follows:
“My Fellow Citizens—The chairman of the
Young Men’s Democratic League has dele
gated to me the honor to introduce to you
this evening the speaker who has come at
the invitation of this league to address
you. In my term of office as governor of
this great state it has fallen to my lot to
introduce many distinguished speakers to
the people of Georgia. Never have 1 claim
ed greater pleasure in the task than 1 do
this moment. (Applause.)
•’ln my term of office it has fallen to my
to appoint many mvn of high rank to
positions of trust and honor. Never have
I appointed any man who has come more
fully up to my expectation*, or who has
more completely met the needs of the people
es this gruat Empire State of the South,
than has the man 1 am about to present
to you this moment. (Cheering.)
■ I present him to you this evening as I
have presented him to the people es Georgia
—as the highest type of man. (Applause.) 1
present him to you as 1 presented him
to the national congress of these United
States —a democrat in whom there is no
guile, a man with no personal ambition be
yond’ the Interests of the people he repre
sents, a man as capable as he Is honest.
It is an honor to introduce my ideal of a
true man (applause)—a good and true dem
ocrat, a loyal son of the south, who de
»erv«-s to be his own successor.” (Prolonged
cheering.)
A Royal Greeting to the Senator.
There was a thunder storm of applause
when Senator Walsh stepped out to face the
crowded pit and dress circles.
When the senator finally found his way
clear to speak he advanced a few steps and
began as follows:
"Ladies and Fellow Citizens: I am deeply
grateful to the governor of Georgia for the
h<<nor of the appointment to membership
of the most august body in America from
this great Empire State of the South.
Would that I deserved all he has said of
»ne. Would that my acts would justify the
exalted opinion he has of me. Since I
have been a member of "the United States
r< nate from Georgia I have certainly en
deavored to do my full duty- to the state,
to serve the people I love, and respect with
all the energy, all the ability, all the
strength and al! the faithfulness I possess
tr my heart and aoul and n. mJ. (Applause*.)
Senator Walsh spoke of Atlanta wit
pride as a Georgian, and prophesied many
things about the future of the city and of
the success of the great Cotton Slates and
International exposition.
’Now, Atlanta is al>>ut to epgnge in
a great exposition—a Cotton States and
International exposition. This is a great en
terprise fruitful es great benefit to the
country. Atlanta is the cue city that had
the pluek and resolution to undertake so
gigantic an enterprise at a time when the
Induotrial world was drooping and withering.
“An International exposition! An exposi
tion for the northern states; an exposition
for the wsst'-rn states; an exposition for
this fair land of the south, where groat
f I Is are booming on to a glorious harvest
an 1 cotton Is fairly frosting the hilltops and
valleys with its glorious white. (Applause.)
An exposition for Mexico; an exposition for
Central and South America and all the
Flemish lands below us, whose trade be
longs to us. Now, let this democratic con
gress secure for tl.is nation the connection
S light fey the project to build the Nicaragua
canal (applause) and give us what is ours
by right.
“When this p-op< *:*’.en to get federal aid
to help you hold this great exposition here,
1 confers many opinions wire entertained
that the schemes of Atlanta were visionary,
but here I want to say that by your plucky
citizens* eT rts you have convinced the na
tional congress; you have convinced the
* vilwd world that you are going to have
the grandest exposition this country ever
*■ w.” (Applause.)
Wluit the Party Una Done.
Recapitulating. Senator Walsh thus told
what the democratic party has done:
“1. It has repealed the Sherman law.
“—lt has repealed the‘federal election
laws.
“S-It has repealed the McKinley law. It

What the Party Should Do.

globe. It is to her interest to have gold
as the unit or standard of value.
"American statesmanship should and can
solve the financial problem. Let the United
States adopt the free coinage of silver,
and England will be the first of the Euro
pean countries to ask for International
agreement to restore the white metal to
its place as money on a ratio of 16 to 1
of gold.
"Every foot of land that has been added
to the public domain, except Alaska, from
the lakes to the gulf, and from the At
lantic to the Pacific, has been acquired
under democratic administrations. Let a
democratic congress and a democratic pres
ident signalize themselves by developing
American trade and extending American
commerce.
•’Build the Nicaraguan canal, give the
country free silver coinage, free raw ma
terial, free banking, free cotton machinery
and free ships, and the United States will
wiest from Europe the trade of the Spanish-
Americas and of the silver-using nations of
the world. x
“In this way will our great country fu.ti.l

industries and extending its commerce an
by spreading its civilization, and the gos
pel of peace and good will among the na
tions and people of the orient. tcaehm%
them the fatherhood of God and the b o
erheod or man.”
Am to Silver Leirialntion.
Hurrying on to the discussion of the
course pursued by the democratic congress,
with respect to silver legislation, the speak
er said: , .
“The Sherman bill ought never to have
been enacted since it was simply making an
article of merchandise out of silver.
“Silver has never been fairly treated as
its claims deserved at the hands of Ameri
can lawmakers.”
Here Mr. Walsh went on to show why
England had to resort to the gold standard,
lie said England was a great crediting na
tion—a nation to which other nations owed
SIO,O 0,(W0,W0. Thus, it was to England’s
interest to have the single gold basis.
“1 do not know all about finances," said
Mr. Walsh, "for I am a plain business man.
But 1 do know that between 1837 and 1873
and from that time to this under the Bland
act the seigniorage in the treasury is being
coined along with gold at the ratio of 16
to 1. (Applause.)
“England will never consent to bimetal
lism until she is compelled to do so by this
country or by international agreement
with this and other silver using states. If
it were in my power today I would open the
mints to the free coinage of sliver. (Ap
plause.) Do you know there is a great deal
of hum buggery in this question? There is
a lot of juggling in it. (Laughter.) There
is not enough gold in the world to pay in
value for one-third of the railroad proper
ties of this country. Bismarck said there
wasn’t enough to go around. It is like two
big fellows under a little blanket—not
enough to go around. Russia is getting
ready to go to war, and wants gold; France
wants it; England wants it—they all clamor
for the precious yellow inetal, and it has
appreciated in value. It has gone far too
high, for cotton, corn, wheat and all
other agricultural products have gone down
proportionately.
“Lot silver go free of coinage charges.
Give it its full rights a.* a monetary metal.”
As to 111 m Itaee for the Semite.
Having thus run through with a full
discourse upon the Issues of the day. Sen
ator Walsh advanced to the very brink o£
the stage and leaning over the footlights
said in a. confidential way to his hearers:
“Now, my friends, I want to say just a
word to you about myself personally. I
was. not many months ago, named as your
senator by the governor of Georgia. At the
time I was slow to take the position, for
there was another whom I ha«l desired to
see in the place because I thought he could
serve you more capably than 1 could. I
was thus slow, I say, to accept the position.
Now 1 want to tell you tonight that 1 am
going to be slow to yield it up.” (Laughter
ami applause.)
Air. Walsh closed his speech with a most
beautiful perioration. He leaped to a flight
of eloquence after his lengthy discourse of
argument in away that absolutely surpris
ed his audience and thrilled them to a
great pitch of enthusiasm and feeling.

of Biinetalism.
Thomasville, Ga., September 21. (Special.)
The largest democratic rally in the his
tory of south Georgia was held here today.
More than 5,0u0 people were in attendance.
Tt ey came from all over wiregrass Georgia
and eastern Alabama. The business part
of the city was gayly decorated with bunt
ing and flags and tnc day was a gala one
in the true sense of the word. The speak
ers of the day were Messrs. Hoke Smith
and Fleming dußignon.
Mr. dußignon spoke first. He was intro
duced by Colonel Robert G. Mitchell. He
n.ado an eloqubnt and forcible speich,
completely captivating the crowd by his
matchless oratory. He spoke on state is
sues mainly, but defined his position on
silver. He is a bimetallist and against
the free and unlimited coinage es silver at
16 to 1. His position on that question, is
almost, if not quite, identical with that of
< on>/rvssinan Turner.
•'< tct iry Fiffilh spoke for more than two
hours.
Mr. dußignon said that he was a bimetal
list in the true and genuine sense of the
term. He was as much opposed to mono
metallism of silver as he was to a single
gold standard. The fundamental difference
between the democrats and populists was
that the democrats believe in bimetallism
and the populists believe in fiat money. At
no time in the history of the country did
gold and silver maintain companionship
except under the inflexible rule of equality
in value. What the people are now in
terested in was not the product of either
metal, but the free circulation of both
metals, both possessing equal purchasing
debt-paying power. No democrat, as far
as he knew, who spoke for his party, favor
ed the demonetization of silver. The tem
porary suspension of its coinage had been
advocated from Jefferson to the present.
Ail democrats who are loyal to the plat
form of the party favored bimetallism, and
therefore favored the free coinage of sil
ver whenever a proper ratio could be main
tained between the two metals.
Housekeepers who (have been induced t<*
try some new brand of baking powder im
mediately become more emphatic than ever
in their approval of Dr. Price’s.
Brake Up the Rally.
Savannah. Ga., September 22.—(Special.)—
Mr. I’. A. Stovall, of The Savannah Press,
who followed Hon. Alf Herrington in a
speech at a democratic rally at Lyons, Tatt
nall county, seventy-five miles from Sa
vannah this afternoon, had been speak
ing half an hour when the rally was dis
turbed by two gunshots about 100 yards
from the speakers’ stand. A negro named
Isaac Bridges. a turpentine hand, camo
running over the hill with blood streaming
from his face, and went toward ttie
swamp.
Sheriff Adamson, who was at the meet
ing. jumped on a horse and started tn
chase, fol’owed by 300 people. Bridges was
caught at the edge of the swamp by B. G.
Anderson. The negro at once drew a knite
and pistol and began to fight. Anderson
caught the pistol and Bridges tried to cut
him. Sheriff Adamson came tip and fired
at the negro. The shot struck Anderson's
hand and passed also through the negro's
wrist. There were cries of "lynch him,"
and about twenty pistols were drawn.
Bridges fought desperately, but was finally
overcome and handcuffed.
Bridges, who is a republican, got into a
quarrel with R. W. Shuman, a white dem
ocrat, in Lyons, and after throwing a few
rocks, the negro drew a knife and cut
Shuman badly over the head. Shuman
drew a pistol, which Bridges took from him
and started for the swamp. While on the
run. Stokes Collins, a white man, fired two
shots at him from a shotgun and the negro
was Ailed with birdshot.
The negro was badly shot and it is be
lieved will die. He was taken to Reida-
Ville and placed In jail. The speaking was
never resumed and there was Intense ex
citement among those at the rally up to
the time the train left. A man who made
the remark that the negro Was right was
almost attacked by some of Shuman s
friends and he had to brandish his shotgun
tb keep off the crowd. Mr. Stovall will re
sume his remarks later.
An Ovation to Mr. Crisp.
Cedartown, Ga., September 21.—(Special.)—
Speaker Crisp reached Cedartown last night
end was tendered an Informal reception at
the rooms of the Cherokee Club. It was a
pleasant occasion and afforded a large
number of the citizens an opportunity to
meet the distinguished visitor.
This morning Mr. Crisp was driven over
the city and he viewed the immense iron
ore beds in Tolk. At noon he addressed one
of the largest political audiences that ever
assembled in this county. It was the most
masterly effort ever heard in Cedartown
and was the most convincing presentation
of the situation ever listened to here. The
speech captivated everybody and has made
votes for the democratic, party in Polk. No
speaker here was ever accorded a more en
thusiastic reception. A large number of la
dies graced the day by their presence.
Speaker Crisp won all hearts by his visit.
Tile eccentricities of “Guida" are at
tracting the attention of Europe. If "Gui
da" were in America she would have fewer
capers. Her first sensible move would be
to use Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The LcgirU.tlve Amendment.
Editor Constitution—The legislature to be
elected next month will not choose Senator
Gordon’s successor, whether the constitu
tional amendment changing the meeting of
that body from October to July is or is not
adopted.
Governor Northen appears to be certain
to the contrary, and Hon. N. J. Hammond
seems to be in doubt, but there is no doubt
about It, as will readily be seen by an ex
amination of the precedents.
The federal law is that the legislature of
a state chosen next preceding the expira
tion of the term of a senator elects that
senator’s successor. Senator Gordon s term
expires March 3. 1897. The legislature chosen
next preceding Is the legislature chosen in
October, 1596, and that legislature, and none
other, will elect Senator Gordon’s succes
sor. no matter when it meets.
We had such a case in Georgia. The
Bullock legislature some time previous to
Its adjournment in October or November,
1870, elected Foster Blodgett a United
States senator for the full term, beginning
March 4, 1871. A new legislature was elect
ed in December, 1870. which chose Thomas
M. Norwood for the same term at its first
session in October. 1871. He was seated by
the senate.
The test case, however, was that of
Charles H. Bell, of New Hampshire, which
was decided by the senate in the spring of
1879. This state for long years had held its
elections annually in March, and the legis
lature chosen met in the following June.
By a change in the state constitution elec
tions were made biennial in Novi rnber of
even numbered years, but the legislature
met. as before, in June. The term of a
senator expired in AT.itch, 1879, and the leg
islature chosen in November, 1878. would
not meet until Juno, 1579, to choose his suc
cessor. This was the situation when Air.
Hayes called an extra session of the forty
sixth congress for March. 1879. Tito gov
ernor of New Hampshire immediately ap
infinted Charles Fl. Bell a (senator to fill
the vacancy. The committee on privileges
and elections divided on the question of
the governor’s right to appoint, and two re
ports were presented to the senate. That
body after an exhaustive debate, decided
in favor of the governor’s right to appoint,
and that decision has never been ques
tioned. There was no politics in it. there
being six democratic majority with Bell
in, and the vote was not at all on party
dines. Tliv legislature, in, Jane, elected
Henry \V. Blair senator, and when his
term expired in March, 1885, he was ap
pointed by the governor and served during
the extra session of the senate. la June,
1885, he was re-elected. In New Hampshire,
therefore, whenever the term of a senator
expires the governor has the right of ap
pointment until the meeting of the legisla
ture and he exercises that right whenever
the senate is in session.
Florida is in the same boat since the adop
tion of the last constitution. Senator Pas
co’s term expired Aiarvh 3, 1893. The legis
lature chosen in November, 1892, did not
meet by law until April, 1893. Senator Pas
co was appointed senator by Governor
Alitehell, and on these credentials was
sworn in Alarch 4, 1893, and held his seat
during tho special session of the senate and
until elected by the legislature.
The refusal last year to seat the ap
pointed senators from Afontana, AVyoming
tin i Washington is not tn conflict with the
policy above outlined. In these cases the
legislatures had met, voted for senators for
weeks and adjourned without making a
choice. The senate held that the legisla
tures had had opportunity to choose sena
tors and had declined to do so, and that in
such a case no right of appointment was
vested in the governor.

Philadelphia, September 20.—The demo
crats of the third congressional district is
this city, this morning, in convention, nom
inated Joseph P. McCallen as their candi
date, over Congressman AlcAleer. The
vote was Alef’ullen, 18; McAleer, 10. The
defeat of AlcAb er, who was elected to the
fifty-second and fifty-third congresses from
this district, as an independent democrat,
was a surprise.
The other four congressional districts of
Philadelphia have overwhelming republi
can rn.ijoritlos, but democratic nominations
were made in each today.
D. J. Callahan was nominated in the first
district, Max Jlertzberg in the second, Gus
tavus A. Aluller in she fourth, and Hr.
P.a:rd Aioffett in the fifth.
The democratic conv ntlons nominated
J. Henry AVilliams and Theodore F. Jen
kins (incumbent) for judges of the common
picas court; Thomas (’. Else, city treasurer,
and Franklin I’. Buckley, register of wills.
Judge William B. Hauna, of the viiphan-t’
court, who was renominated by the repub
licans y esterday, was endorsed by the dem
ocrats today. Candidates for the geticr.il
assembly' were also chosen throughout the
city.
Smashed t he Gamblers' Tools.
Chicago, September 20.—The gamblers
who have looked on with a smile at the
efforts of the civic federation to close them
up, are tonight genuinely alarmed and not
a single gambling house is open. Early
in the day the mayor ordered the places
closed and his orders were promptly
obeyed. Notwithstanding this, the House
of David and the Newport Club were raid
ed on the search warrants issued by Judge
Brentano yesterday. The sheriff took two
very valuable layouts, and, although he
was served with writs of replevin, he re
fused to return the property' until ordered
so to do by Judge Brentano. The matter
was carried into court and Judge Brentano,
refusing to surrender the paraphernalia,
ordered it destroyed. It was carried into
the basement of the county building where
six deputy' sheriffs smashed it into kindling
wood with axes. This new tack on the
part, of the reformers gives the gamblers
good cause for alarm, as their ever-ready
replevin writs are likely to prove useless,
and they are left no grot n 1 on which to
stand.

for tho Democrats is Called a Platform.
Pledge and Performance Compared.
Saratoga, N. Y., September 18.--The re
publican state convention was called to
order at 12:20 o’clock by' \v illiam Brookfield,
chairman of the state committee, and pro
ceeded to business with dispatch. Con
gressman Lemuel Quigg, of New York, was
made temporary chairman, the usual com
mittees, were appointed and contests were
referred to the committee on credentials.an J
at 1:40 o’clock a recess was taken until
4:30 o’clock p. m.
During the recess the committee on cre
dentials decided unanimously against the
Milholland delegates from New York city.
In the Albany contest the regular faction,
represented by State Committeeman Barnes
got a favorable decision.
The contest between the Healy-Aloore fac
tion in the first assembly district, New
York city, was settled by the state com
mittee, by giving eaeh side half the repre
sentation. As both sides are for Alorton,
this does not alter the vote for him and
makes peace in the family besides.
At 5 o’clock th* convention was again
called to order and Warner Miller was
made permanent chairman. The platform
was presented and adopted without discus
sion. Upon questions of national politics
It says:
“The republicans of New York, in conven
tion assembled, extend hearty greetings to
the republicans of Pennsylvania, Knode
Island, Oregon, Vermont and Alaine for
their prompt and just judgment on an in
competent democratic administration. They
voice the verdict of the people that She
path of protection is th path of prosperity.
And we eongratuiote the democratic sugar
planters of Louisiana on their courageous
declaration of independence of party tram
mels that endanger the material prosperity
of their state.
“The democratic president of the United
States and the democratic chairman of the
ways ahd means committee of the house of
representatives have announced that the
wiir against the protected industries of the
country has just begun, and that it Is to
be prosecuted to the bitter end. on behalf
of the wage-earner, the agriculturist, the
business man, and of every sacred interest
in the empire state of the union, the re
publican party of the state of N» w York,
in convention assembled, accepts this chal

of the assault upon the rights of the w »rk
ingmun and his employer, both wantonly
invaded by reckless demagogues.

“We invite the people to compare the
pledges of the demociatic party with the
performan< vs of a democratic administra
tion. The fitness and capacity of the
democracy to govern must be judg' d by its
record. Jts most importont achievement
thus far has been fitly characterized by the
executive of its choice ,as one of ‘perfidy
and dishonor.’ Denouncing political cor
ruption, it has re war iled the largest con
tributors to its campaign fund by the best
of all foreign missions; denouncing trusts,
it permitted one of them to formulate iis
tariff bill; promising a continuance ot the
vigorous foreign policy established by the
lamented James Gillespie Blaine, it subs’.i
tuted a ‘policy of infamy’ when Hawaii
was freely offered us: denouncing the Sher
man act as a cowar ily makeshiit. it was
enabled to repeal tho silver purchasing
clause of that act only by the help <>: re
publican senators: arraigning prole rim as
‘a fraud upon labor,’ it passed a mongrel
protective measure so tainted with scandal
that it barely escaped the veto of a demo
cratic president; advocating free raw mu
tt-rials and an extension of <>ur foreign
trade, it destroyed ail the profitable recipro
cal agreements made by J’resident Harri
son; pledging itself to the payment of ‘just
and liberal pensions,’ it treats the union
soldier as if the Grand Army badge w--re
the badge of beggary and bringandage;
pledging retrenchment, it exceeded at the
list session of congress the expenditures
’of the corresponding session of the last
republican congress by $37.';00.0D0 in the face
of decreasing revenues, and after it had
added $.71,000,000 to the public debt; whil
pretendlng to be in favor of individual free

tax force bill, empowering deputy collectors
them by threats of official summonses a” l

heavy penalties to disclose their private

"We denounce northern democratic *>n

democratic representatives from this, the
greatest manufacturing state in the union,
whose annual manufactured products ex

for their treachery and cowardice in airing

we protv t against free wool, which means
the destruct io”’’, of our sheep husbandry ami
which has brought the price of wool to the
lowest figure recorded.
“We den tim-e the federal adminraration

nearly ten times greater by levying a tax
on sugar, the commonest household neces
sity.
“We protest against the removal <>f tlm

Canadian agricultural products. The farm

“We denounce tho administration for
striking out the agricultural schedule of

I‘It’KIAT. A WINNER-
Democratic Lenders in New York Dismiss
Candidates for Governor.
Albany, N. Y., September 21.—A confer
ence of some of the democratic leaders was
held here today at Senator David B. Hill «
law office. Lieutenant Governor Sheehan
was in conference with Senator Hill until
after 4 o’clock, when Hon. Edward Alurphj,
Jr., and Major James W. Hinckley, of
Poughkeepsie, who has been talked of to
succeed Senator Murphy as chairman of the
democratic state committee and ex-Senator
McCarthy, of Brooklyn, representing the
King's county regular democratic organiza
tion, arrived at Senator Hill’s office and
joined the conference, which lasted until 6
o’clock.
At its conclusion it was admitted that the
candidate to lie nominated for governor n< xt
Tuesday at Saratoga, was the subject of the
discussion, but the differences of opinion
were so great that no conclusion was ar
rived at. The candidates, they said, were
Hon. John Boyd Thatcher, of Albany; Jus
tice William J. Gaynor, of Brooklyn; Daniel
S. Lamont, ex-Senator of State Frederick
Cook, of Rochester; Andrew H. Green, of
New York; Hon. W. C. Whitney and Dan
iel Lockwool, of Buffalo. Those who took
part in the conference stated that they were
of the opinion that from the present out
look the convention would have to har
monize the different interests and that
several ballots would be necessary to deter
mine who the democratic nominee would be.
Another consultation will likely be held j
tomorrow.
A ticket talked about here today was:
For governor, John Boyd Thatchw; for
lieutenant governor, Frederick Cook; for
associate judge of the court of appeals, I
William J. Gaynor.
One thing is certain—and the leaders them- ;
selves said so tonight—and that is, that the
race for governor is anybody's at the pres- I
ent writing. It is also not unlikely that be
fore Sunday night a favorite may come
into the field whose name has not yet been
generally mentioned in connection with the
democratic nomination for governor.
It is said tonight that Senator Hill would •

vlo<eti tlio Heliosis.
Amesbury, Mass., September 19.—One di
vision of the grammar school at Salisbury
was closed today as a result of a religious
quarrel precipitated by the appointment
of Aliss-Isabelle Cavanaugh, a Cat! die, as
teacher. She was engaged on Monday and
strenuous efforts were at one made
by prominent members of the American
. . ' .ved.
The local branch of the Am. in Mechan
ics also objected, and say they v ill not al
low the American flag, which was presented
to the school by the order, to fee hoisted
over the school building until the new
teacher is discharged. The committee,
therefore, closed Aliss Cavanaugh’s division
until the trouble is settled. She threatens
to sue the town if discharged.
