Over one thousand of the best citizens of At lanta assembled at the Court-house, last night, to hear Colonel P. L. Mynatt, the people’s candidate for Congress, express him self on the issues of the day. In the audience the merchants and laboring men were well represented, and there were tew men present who had not made up their minds to vote for Col. Mynatt, and those few who had etime for curiosity went home feeling that they would vote for him, too, if they listened to and heeded the promptings of tieir consciences. Mr. Aaron Haas called the meeting to order and read a telegram announcing that ex-Governor Smith could not be present on account of the sickness of a child. Then COLONEL MYNATT WAS INTRODUCE!). As the speaker rose, the applause was deafen ing, land he had the satisfaction of knowing from the begining that the audience was in sympathy with him It is impossible to give his speech in full, as he spoke nearly two hours, although all of it would make interest ing and instructive reading to the people of this citv and county. Ln the first place he set forth the grounds on which he made the canvass. He said he was proceeding upon principle. The public offices returned periodically to the peo ple, who were entitled again to give them out to office holders. A Short history of the Democratic principles was giveu und a touching tribute paid to Ire land and her wrongs, and he hoped that this down>r ,dden country might obtain borne rule as the Americans obtained it. After alluding to the differences of opinion that make parties in political issues, the speaker launched forth on the OKEAT LABOR QUESTION. He said that nearly all the political questions ot to-day grow out of the differences between capital and labor. There is a great amount of contention in both houses arising out of this question. What iscapital? We see it exemplified in the railroads. In the United States $7,000,- 000 000 is invested in this way, and 137,009 miles ot railroad traverse the country. Railroads are in the van of our progress. Originsllr they were built by the people for their own use. Then they were controlled by those who used them, and not by a handful of speculating mil lionaires. To-day less than a dozen (men of Wall street fame own and control our railroads all over the country, and operate them for their own aggrandizement and not for the good of the commonwealth. It is a gigantic monopoly against which the people have time and again raised a voice of protest. Is it any wonder they cry out against it? Is it any wonder that they should wish LEGISLATION AGAINST IT? We have what we call “strikes.” What causes them? These disruptions among the honest laborers of our country have been at tributed to the mere mischievousness of men. But it is not so. The railroads employ about I,Boo,ooo—just think of it, nearly two million —of men, and there must be some cause why outbreaks are so frequent with them. The reason is plain. The railroads are traded upon, “bulled and beared.’ Long lines and systems are bought up by the Wall street magnates and then the stock is wa tered. Jay Gould bought a railroad for $3,000,- 000, and then issued stock to the amount of $30,- 000,000. How could it be done. It is what is known as “fictitious capitalization,” and in or der to keep up this fictitious valuation some thing must be done to make the road stand well in the eves of the Wall street speculators. •What is done? Why the wages of the employ ees are cut down to make the road pay a larger dividend, and they are cut and cut until A STRIKE FOLLOWS. The Vanderbilts bought the Hocking Valley road for S4,OOti,DUO and watered the stock to $20,- 000,000, and the emnloyes had to suffer in con sequence. Their wives and children were in poverty and want, and t 1 e terrible bloody strike followed the details of which are known to every body. Who was to blame? It was all caused by a millionaire Wall street king that he might gain wealth and power. Let such speculations he forbidden by legisla ture and there will be no more strikes. Euro pean countries are making arrangements for the Government to own and control the rail roads. Bo must it be in this country. What we want is the carrying of passengers and mer chandise like carrying of the mails—by the Government for the good of the people. All that has been said on this point shows that such a thing is absolutely necessary. The capitalists want this great wealth be cause they want power to rule not only the leg islature but the ballot box. It is WITH TBK PEOPLE to say whether or not they shall hare it. The railroads to-day were discriminating in freight rates against Atlan a, and it was time some one's voice was being raised against it in the legislative halls. The speaker said he had referred to the local matters, that certain issues between Mr. Ham mond and himself might be made plain. Mr. Hammond had once taken the position that the constitutional convention of Georgia could not legislate upon the matter of railroad discriminations, >nd did not believe the people could in any way control them. Before the Senate and House committees he had fought legislation against the railroads. When the Reagan bill, one of so much vital im portance to the people of Atlanta, was brought up Mr. Hammond SPOKE AGAINST IT, and paired when it came time to vote. Is this the kind of Representative the people of Atlants want? What is Mr. Hammond's influence and power to you it he turns his back upon you when you need his services most ? What about the “ Cullum bill ? ” Did Mr. Hammond do anything about it ? If Mr. Ham mond does do anything for you against railroad monopolies he is drafted. Mr. Hammond's whole record shows that be has been in favor of railroad monopolies and against the laboring men and the people. -He voted against a board of arbitration and fol the oleomargarine bill. He does not seem to fancy organized labor and why not? Has not labor as much right to organize as capital? Mr. Hammond has been an office holder for many years, scareelv anybody in Atlanta ever knew him out of office. Laughter.] He has been IN CONGRESS EIGHT TEARS. The laws of rotation call upon him to adjou r n. [Laughter and applause ] The trouble with Mr. Hammond is that he has got the railroad question into such a tangle that he feels that be can’t quit. When he was elected two years ago he said. "Just let me go back once more and see the President inaugurated.” Now he wants to go back again. He will never want to quit. About the railraad matters, somebody else wi l untangle that for him. Laughter, and cries of “Mvnatt can do it; we will let Mynatt do it."] <!ol. Mynatt then referred to the so-called democratic county meeting held on Monday night last. The idea of a mass meeting being held at night. Why the Hammond men were bunted up and made to come out so that the meeting might be a “Hammond meeting,” and everybody would think that Mynatt had no strength. During the last congressional race it was alleged that » meeting was PACKKO ON MR. HAMMOND, and that gentlemen alluding to it afterwards, said be “liked to have jumped out of bis boots when he heard of it,” He ought to do some jumping now, but this time it was packed the right way. (Laughter and applause). Col. Mynatt closed bis speech by saying that he did not wish to be chosen the representative of bis people if he had to do so by trickery and fraud. Colonel Arnold made a few well-pcinted re marks, and said Colonel Mynatt would be sent to Corgress from this iistrict, which sentiment was loudly applauded bv the large audience. There were a few ot Mr. Hammond's leaders in the audience, trying to catch on to a few points, and they went home a little ruffled over Colonel Mynatt’s excellent address and bis en thusiastic reception by the large audience.
