ma OlsSoNn Nv ANAonesNs
Hon. Samuel ]. Randall was In
vited TO speak at the grand Demo-
cratic jubilee which took place In
Atlanta, Friday night the 2Sth ult.
He was received with high honOrs
and the vast concourse Of people
assembled in the city from Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee and other
Southern states showed their appre-
citation OF this dauntless Democrat
and incompatible statesmen by sa-
lutIng him withscheers wherever he
went. Mr.. Randall will visit Nash
vile sometime during the co::sming
holidays and should be received In
our state capital with the same cor
diality that he met. In Atlanta.
Randall was the. friend af the South
In the dark hours when she needed
strong friends at the North, and his
services then must not be forgotten
nowt when. the night has passed
away. The following synopsis Of
the speech at, Atlanta Is. taken from
the Associated Press dispatches
When the Opera house was reach.
ed Mr.. Randall was Introduced 10
the assembly amid Immense cheers.
Mr., Randall referred TO the regret
he felt In visiting Georgia that the
two friends he had loved most in
life's day, Stephens and Hill, were
not in life to greet him. "We
have" said he, "won a glorious vic
tory, but with the honOrs comes a
great responsibility. I-believe the
Democratic party WILDE fully equal
to it. Our guide will be that en-
blazoned on the coat OF arms Of
Georgia-the Constitution, wisdom,
Justice, moderation. When Jeiter-
Son was inapgurated on the 4ih Of
March, 1901, there was Just as
marked a revolution In politics.
The principles he announced were
immortal and are as applicable now
as when he first uttered them In hIs
inaugural address. Ours Is the
party Of the people and there Is not
a right Of the white man, or the
colored man that will not be sacred
ly protected. IL has always been
the party of personal freedom, OF
freedom OF speech, of freedQm OF
the press, and Of freedom Of relig-
ion the party Of the habeas corpus.
God has blessed Georgia with incal-
culable possibilities and all that is
needed are industries TO make them
certainties. In her 900 square miles
she has means OF agriculture, man.
ufacture and commerce 10 make her
foremoat In the markets OF the
world, She Was the last of the
thirteen colonies that was settled,
and she had TO meet in beginning
the restrictive policy of Great Brit
ain; which sought, to make her
dependent OF the mother country In
all her material existence, but she
broke from such restraints aud
asserted her purpose then In 1850,
as she does now, TO live within her
own Internal resources.
Burke has said that. the stock oI
materials by which any nation IL
rendered hOurishing and prosperous
s8re It's industry, its knowledge or
'skill, its morals, its execution Of
Justice, ITS courage. The National
Union Is directing these powers TO
one point and making them all GEN.
ter ih the public benefit. Other
than these do not know, and
caA' conceive any means by
which a community may flourish.
This Is the acme, the purpose Of the
Democratic party, a noble one and
iraughx with countless blessings.
Our political opponents In the re-
cent struggle advocated that revls-
