States How he Breas ted a Snow Storm and why. If Judge Crisp could deliver fif ty speeches in Georgia, such as he made in Rome yesterday, the dem ocratic majority would reach sev enty-five thousand. He made a great speech. It was plain, practi cal and full of information. He is the only man I have ever seen on the stump who could catch and hold the undivided attention of a popular audience for two hours, in a conversational tone, in presenting dry, plain facts. There is a magnetism in his person that gets very near his hearers. There is a frankness of* face, a calmness of delivery, a composure that is pleasing to the listener, and wins his confidence. Judge Crisp is an encyclopaedia of political information. He knows just how to arrange his facts to give them the best effect. He is a natural logician, and he is ex ceedingly fair to his opponents. The speech of yesterday did good, and its effects will be felt for years. I recall with pecular pleasure my first acquaintance with Judge Crisp. Iu 1 885 I went to Weshingtor, a green country lac 1 , seeking employ ment in the Goverment service. Through due influence of Mr. Clement I got a position that paid SGO per month. A little later I was promoted to aposition that paid After a few months I found a vacancy that would, if I coutd secure it, paid SIOO per month. To me that was an immense amount of money, and I was on my tiptoes to get the place. But it took polit icaljinfhionce. I called on Mr, Clem out for assistance, but he happen ed to be absent from Washington. Remembering that I had been introduced to Mr. Crisp and that he had appeared pleasant in his manner. I mustered up courage to go to his room at the Metropolitan hotel, after supper one evening for the purpose of asking his aid. 1 was doubtful of the propriety of this step, knowing as I did that he had all that he could do to look after the boys in the department from his own district. He was not in his room when I called, but I left a note on his table telling im what I wanted and modestly soliciting his help. That night a very heavy snow fell in Washiugt on covering the ground probably two feot deep. The street cars were blocked and trav el almost suspended. Not with standing this fact, and the further fact that Mr. Crisp's hotel was a mile from the department wh *re I worked, he trudged ou foot through tn« snow fora mile to do mA a favor He got me the promo tion, and by his endorsement se cured me friends who were after wards useful. When I tried to thank him later for his kindness, he said. wi s h that irresistable smile of his, that he was as proud of my promotion as I could possibly be. 0 0 0 No wonder I’m a Crisp man from my toes to the top of my head, I’d walk ten miles through snow to do him a service. I love him with the enthusiasm of a boy, and shall ever bold myself ready to work for his promotion. I hope to live to see the preju dices against the south give way, and Mr. Crisp take his seat iu the Wnite House as President of the United States! The Tattler.
