He thanked Savan nah ians and Geoigians for the magnificent demonstration ui his behalf, spoke of Georgia a one wf the grandest us southern states and a state that he was most proud of. Then some one called up the question of the Maine. “What about the Maine?” went up the cry from several sides. “The Maine affair and all oth er affairs involved will be at tended to in due time,” General Lee said, and that was his only reference to the questions in issue. There as a call from the crowd for Dr. Brunner, the belief being that he was on tbe train, and this being Dr. Brunner’s home, but Dr. Brunner did not respond.
