We can make money that will serve our purposes,stimulate >ur trade, without regard to the word or dictation of England. “It is true, these are questions for the nation, and not for the state, an hence, do not properly beloi g in a gubernatorial cauq aign; but this is a tune when the people of everv state on ;ht to be knowing where the men of high position stand, and the man wio is elected governor of this state ought to make avowals on all of these public scores. ‘ In this campaign for tl e govern o.sh p. | our enemies (the dem c at i P ai 'y’s enenTes) are going to make issues of national questions, and we miy as well confront them now in ad vance. In this connection, Ij want to siy that it is not a matter of doub*, bit a certainly tl at the third party will have a candidate out for the gov ernorship, and that we will have the same old fight to whip—so fellow citizens, let us stand up and face the issue and show them that we are sacking for the same reforms we s jught f< r in the last campaign, and that we will get them though ti e heavens fal', ‘and by the decree of providence I here assure you that the old party of the people, the old party that won the last time with such a signal victory, will agian trumph, and triumph with a more perfect vic tory than the last. (Applause.) WHAT HE WILL DO IF GOVERNOR. “If lam elected governor of this state,’’ continued the speaker, “I am plain m speech to tell what I will strive to do : “I will exert myself for the ac complishment of a more perfect system of public schools (Ap I lause.) “I will strive to see that the peo p 's rights against the railroad monopolies are preserved by the sustenance of the railway com mission. (More applause ) “I will see that the lessees of the state’s convicts are kept in strict obedience to the terms of the lease and will see to it that the convict labor in no way comes in com petition with free labor. (Great cheering ) “In flue I will try to down all forms of monopoly and look to the interest of the people and the whole people 'of this grand old stat* of Georgia. “Now, gentleman, offices ought to be given with a view to the man, not for the simple purpsse of grati fying vain desires and «f tickling one’s fancies, nor as a compliment to this man or that. The plain, simple question that is before you is who is the best man to b» gover nor of this state? If there is a po litical question it is who has had the most experience to lead the par ty to success? “I shall face your answer to these questions with satisfaction. lain siucre in what I say and I want you to answer these questions as sincerely as they are asked. “I do not want to be unpardoua b’y egot s ic,but there is something I must say to you in this connec tion,! I want te tell you of what I have been trying to do for the advancement of this state ever since I have been in public life — what I did the eight years I was in the Georgia legislature, A man who has had my experience there, even though he be a man of less than ordinary ability, would have learned enough about the public questions that affect the interest of the people of Georgia to place him < asily as a more experienced man than a brainier man, let us say, that has not had such experi ence.” Here he told about his having passed a bill making the election of the agricultural commissioner by the people. How he had seen that the common schools needed better teachers and hau established the Girls' Normaijml Industrial college. How he had taken the lead in the s dtlement of the Western and Atlantic bettermeat claims when no public man would grapple with it, settling by giving the lessees back the taxes they had paid, but not a dollar’s worth of betterments. How he changed the payment of the inspectors of oils, giviiq the state ah<>u* $15,000 per aunun that inspectors once received. How he had curbed tl e monolir. tic tactics of the telegraph com panies. -NO ENEMY TO OLD VETERANS, The applause that followed Mr Atkinson's recapitulation of what he has done for Georgia was pleas i ing and he hurled himself at onct | into the denial of what he say? has been charged against him that he is an enemy of the confederate veteian. Said he: “Well, they say, that’s all right, Atkinson’s a pretty nice sort ot fellow, but he is an enemy to the boys who wore the gray. “This is charged by a young sprig in Atlanta who never fought a battle and who never did any thing for the good of the democrat ic party that I know of, but who, with the assistance of painstaking teachers, has learned to writepret ty well. ( Laughter ) These young sprigs ought to be careful Low they play with big questions (Moie laughter.) “I toast that I have worked for the achievement of more good to the confederate veterans of Geor gia than any man alive who wore the cloth cf gray and epulets of a brigadier general. I have aided in all the legislation that gives the s laiers of this state the pension they draw today. ( Applause). “What treason against honor that any man should say that 1 am an enemy to the man who f ught for the cause for which Lee drew his gallaut blade. Why, ther is no tenderer thought in my heart and soul today than that which comes with overpowering panora ma when I see the man with an empty sleeve go by. I honor the heroes who went to war for their blessed land of the south. I bless the memory of those who died for the lesson of patriotism it brings Being myself the scion of a family that has lived in the south since the days of the revolution, I have a right to feel proud of southern chivalry, A'though I was too young to en ter the war, my brother ran away from college down at old Oxforc and joined the Eighth Georgia regiment and braved death fcr the cause of the south. Some of y u ©ld soldiers may remember that when the Eighth Georgia was or dered to retreat at Manassas while they were marching from the front and the Seventh Georgia was ordered to take their plac s this daring youth, my brother, lefi the retreating regiment and hurled his brave heart back to the front with the old Seventh and lost his life in the engagement that soon followed. Then what crime against truth and honor that I, with such memories, should be charged with unfriendliness in my heart for the confederate ve'eraus of Georgia.” (Great applause) THE SOLDIERS H ME. Mr. Atkinson defended his posi tion while a member of the Geor gia legislature in voting against the Soldiers Home. He said that it was a question ol whether the members would estab lish a home where the soldiers would be humbled to the level ol beggers with office, g over *hem t< spend their money for them, o. whe.her they would give pension* to the war-worn veterans. He fa vored the pension idea as this w juld allow the old fellows to stay at home and live with their fami lies and friend*. He expiated quite at length efl this score. THE ATLANTA RING, Decidedly the chief thing about the speech of Mr. Atkinson that stands cut with interest was hit abuse of what he terms th'-» Atlan ta ring. He savs it has sifted down t< this in G-orgia, whether the eutir e state will or will not let Atlants run it. “Atlanta has the state capitol the top senators, the Technologic al school, the only two consul gen erals given the state by the federa government, the federal judge: she had the last governor befon Northen came into the arena, anc claims that it is her time to hav ( : SEEDS!
