Seaborn Wright Hotly
Arraigns ^Georgia’s
Convict System.
• The convict laaae nystem of Georgia
1$ the worst In the world,” declared
Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, Wednesday
morning In the house In his remarks
preliminary to an argument on the
Western and Atlantic extension meas
ure.
Georgia's convict lease system Is a
disgrace and an .Infamy,” he declared.
"There Is not a decent man In the state
who will not hang his head In shame
e'er It."
Mr. Wright was the last speaker on J
the extension bill at the session Wed
nesday, adjournment coming before he
had finished his remarks. Speeches
were made by several, some favoring,
others opposing. It seems probable now
that a vote will not be reached before
Saturday, altho debate may conclude
In time Friday for the vote.
When the house assembled at 9
o’clock Thursday morning with Mr.
handler, of DeKalb, In the chair, Mr.
Hall, of Bibb, resumed his argument
against the Western and Atlantic ex
tension. In opening he said:
"By the statements I have made here
I do not wish the Impression to be
gained that I advocate bond repudia
tion. The position assumed by Mr.
Wright, of Home, in the constitutional
convention of 1877, was that one gener
ation had the right to repudiate the
bonds of the preceding generation, and
I agree with that view, where »a bond
Issue is illegal and unfair."
In the midst of his argument there
was a great deal of confusion. The
pages were chasing about the house,
and Mr. Hall grew Irritable.
"Mr. Speaker, I wish you would stop
these pages from tearing about * the |
ball. I don’t know any greater nuis
ance than pages,” he said.
Mr. randier rapped for order and
Anally secured It. Then Mr. Hall con
tinued his work of ripping the Alex
ander bill to tatters.
Mr. Hall objected particularly to that
Motion of the bill which gave to the
trustees and governor power to mort-
gagjv the present Western and Atlantic
railroad, a property now unincumbered
and worth many millions of dollars, the
funds so raised to be used In the ex-
nslon work.
Mr. Chamlee Speaks.
At in: 20 o’clock Mr. Hall concluded
* remarks and Mr. Chamlee. of Floyd,
"as recognised.
I want to submit a few broken re
Morgan, Mr. Harriman, Mr. Gould
or Mr. Anybody else whether or not we
should make this extension,” he said.
”It Is not so much for the dollars
and cents we expect from this road,”
he continued, “but the weapon It gives
the people in fixing Just rales.”
Mr. Hill belted Mr. Harriman un
mercifully. He slso handed Mr. Hall,
of Bibb, several hot ones.
Some Hot Shots.
"Every time the gentleman from Bibb
wants to defeat a bill here he gets up
and screams ‘Constitution, constitu
tion!”’ he said, while Mr. Hall looked
pleased over what he evidently deemed
a compliment. He also opined that
Mr. Hall In opposing this bill would
commit political hari kart.
He estimated that the cross-ties and
rails for the 800 miles of extension
would not cost more than $6,000,000,
and believed that many counties would
help grade the road and contribute ties.
Mr. Slater, of Bryan, favored the
bill as a purely business proposition.
He thought a venture Into government
jQwnerjhlp was Renter the sea of 8o^
Clallam. . ~
Mr. Slater favored Savannah as the
coast terminal of the extension. He
expressed the Idea that a road from
Chattanooga to Savannah would. If
rented, pay practically the expenses of
the state’s affairs.
Mr. Hyals, of Bibb, disclaimed any
intent to ndd to the historical facts
connected with the matter, and imme
diately launched Into some, even going
further back than any who had pre
ceded him. He opposed the measure,
and was subjected to a fire of questions
from Mr. Alexander and Mr. Coving
ton. He took good care of himself.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, followed, be
ginning his remarks at 12:35 o’clock.

the thing that I am moat Impreaaed
with,” he aald, “la the dlapoaltlon to
put off thlnga. There la too much of
that here. We wait until the aeaalon
Is almost over before we act on Impor
tant legtalatton, and consequently we
do many foollah thlnga.
”Aa an llluatratlon. look at the con
vict lease syatem. It la the worst con
vict lease syatem In the world. It la a
disgrace and an Infamy. There la not
a decent man In the state who will not
hang his head In shame over It. Yet
we will wait until the last of the session
before taking action on this Important
matter.
"We can not dodge responsibility on
this question of the extension of the
state road or shift the burden to some,
bndy'else’s shoulders. Here Is a mag
nificent property, worth not less than
$26,000,000. What are we going to.do
with it when the present lease expires
and no one will lease It again?
"You may talk about the folly of
government ownership, but you don’t
stop to think that we are already Into It
up to our neck}. How many of you
would favor the sale of the state road?
It Isn’t a question of government own
ership, but whether or not the people of
Georgia will arise In their majority and
grapple this situation."
At 12:46 o’clock Mr. Hines, of Bald
win. arose and asked that the commit
tee report progress. This was agree
able to Mr. Wright, who will resume his
speech Friday morning. .
New bills were then Introduced and
manv read the second time, the house
adjourning at 1 o'clock until 9 o'clock
Thursday morning.

the methods of the experienced and
talented orator, he was constantly In
terrupted by cheers on cheers.
Never has such simile and metaphor
dropped from the eloquent Ups of this
Georgian as when talking to his own
people. He paid hU respects to Gov
ernor Hoke Smith, again and again. He
explained his support of him In the
first campaign because of the pledges
he made him in behalf of reforms for
the people. He held up to ridicule the
governor’s attempts to father disfran
chisement, and stated that his record
showed what looked like leanings to
ward Booker Washington.
"Since Nero’s time,” said Mr.' Wat
son, "there never was a rottener ad
ministration than the second adminis
tration of Cleveland—and Hoke Smith
v?fts 1n his cabinet. But up to the time
Mr. Smith first ran for governor his
record was national and because of his
pledges for Georgia reforms I support
ed him. And I think I did my share In
that campaign. But he broke his
promises, and I say now that the de
feat of Hoke Smith tor -breaking these
pledges Is goliig to have the finest in
fluence In the state of Georgia of any
thing since the Civil war. It has
placed politicians on notice that In the
future broken pledges mean an end to
their career at the hands of the people.
"As for this talk that the governor
did not mean to try for the senate, he
will never face me and make any such
statement.
"We have shown the politicians what
we can do and I tell you now that we
will dominate the state of Beorgla in
the next ten years.
"I want the vote of the state of Geor
gla (cries of ’You'll have It, too’), for
have stood by you, gone down when
you went down and have stayed with you
always to help fight your battles. What
does this state owe the other candl
dates, anyway?” (Cries of ‘‘nothing
We’ll beat ’em yet! We’re praying for
you!” etc.)
Watson on Bryan.
Mr. Watson, while dealing generously
In sparkling epigrams, backed up his
statements with many statistics. Hi
also paid his respects to William Jen
nlngs Bryan.
”1 have nothing to say against the
private character of Mr. Bryan," he
said. "I doubt If anything could be
said. But I am unutterably opposed to
his present attitude. I was with him
In congress when this same man con
tinued to vote for a Mr. Springer, of
Illinois, in the contest for the speaker-
ship between Mr. Mills, of Texas, and
Mr. Crisp, Georgia, even after the name
of Mr. Springer had been withdrawn
from the convention. And what did he
give as his reason for this most re
markable performance? Why, only the
fact that he never could and never
would vote for a Confederate soldier.
(Cries of shame, hisses, etc.)
”1 ask you, you old veterans who
stacked your guns at Appomattox, are
you going to support this man? (Cries
of No! No! Never!) The trouble Is the
South amounts to nothing politically,
preferring to vote for a dead dog If it
Is on the Democratic ticket. But this
time has passed.
"And what else does Mr. Bryan do?
When our president fearlessly and
properly punished, because he had In
him the spirit of a man, those negro
soldiers at Brownsvlll.e, he won for
himself the praise of all true men.'
(Cries of “Hurrah for Roosevelt! Ted
dy’s all right!”) "And when certain
politicians went to Mr. Taft In Chicago
and asked him to denounce the presi
dent for his attitude regarding this
Brownsville affair, what did he say? He
said ‘No.’ He was a man with red
blood In his veins.
But when politicians went to Lin
coln, Nebr., what happened? He greet,
ed them and said that he was opposed
to the attitude of the president and
sympathized with those Brownsville
soldiers, who had been so unjustly treat,
ed. and favored a plank setting forth
his sentiments at tne Denver conven
tion.
Are you men of Georgia and of the
South going to support such a man and
give him your state simply because he
Is a Democrat?” (More cries of "Nev
er!’- "Shame!’’ hisses, etc.)
Again, with the conclusion of his
address, Mr. Watson was greeted with
vociferous cheering and such was the
enthusiasm and so anxious were his ad
mirers—farmers. artisans and big,
broad-shouldered men from every sec
tion of Georgia—to grasp his hand and
congratulate him. that the rest of the
program for the morning session had
to be given up and a recess was taken
until 4 o'clock InAhe afternoon.

Whatever hope there might be In ths
minds of the sides of a possibility of
defeating Bryan s nomination was shat,
tered by the great spontaneoua outburst
of enthusiasm which followed 8enstor
Gore s mention of Bryan’s name yester.
day afternoon, and the vote on the mi.
Jorlty report on the credentials com
mute# favorable to ths Guffey dele-
gates last night.
Of the aye votes on ths minority re-
port these are certain for Bryan:
California. 8; Colorado, 9; Georgia. 3*
l‘ho. 2. Illinois, 54; Iowa, 2; Missouri,
h„,ok r? ‘ a r ol,n *’ Pennsylvania, 10;
(south Carolina, 4; Tennessee, 18; Vtr.
glnta, 22; West Virginia, J—a total of
124 votes. In addition to these,' It Is
probable Bryan will receive the M votes
of Louisiana, the 78 votes of New York,
the 8 of the District of Columbia «nd
possibly New Jersey and some of tbs
New England votea.
With the doubtful votea out, there
fore. It would appear that Bryan's min
imum Vote Will be 749. with a strong
probability that It will reach 151 or
even mor*.
It In evident that Murphy’a demand
that he be shown enough votes to give
him at least a gambler’s chance before
leading a forlorn hope against Bryan
could not be let.
It Is altogether probable :hat ths
nomination will b# mads at a night ses.
aion.
There is a very close race on between
the Bryan seconders and ths vice presl.
dentlal candidates as to number. At
least twenty seconding speeches have
been prepared and new ones are corning
up every day. It looka as tho every
Bryan state and territory from Ala
bama to Porto Rico n-lshes to have a
word to say as to why the Commoner
should be the next president of the
United States. If all of them are de
livered. It Is hardly possible to reach a
roll call before way after midnight, and,
It may take an . all-night session to
exhaust ths floods of oratory. . , . .
The platform committee waa ready to',
report as soon as the permanent or-,
gsntzatlon Is effected. The vice pres
