ATLANTA, Feb. 5.-IIon. Thomas A,
Hendricks and party reached Atlanta
this morning at o'clock in special car.
At $50 o'clock they were escorted to the
Kimball house, where breakfast was
served. The company at breakfast con-
sisted of about thirty prominent citi-
zens. Large crowds congregated about

bricks, who spoke from the balcony,
lie said:
Gentlemen of the State OF Georgia:
l did not expect this welcome to-day.
accept II as a tribute from a great state
OF TINS Union-a state that is firmly
united with the great state of Indiana,
from which | came. Applause. ac-
cept 1t with pleasure, because IL is an
honor done mo by the people. We have
recently in the north, as well as
in the south, passed through great
political CONTEST think the greatest
the country has ever seen. 1t has re-
suited, in my judgment, most gloriOusly.
The country Is for the first time in n
great many years TO be placed under
the management of the Democrats.
! believe the change 10 be for the well
fare not only of the white race, but of
the colored race of our country, SO
many of whom | see here. Did you
observe that of the millions of votes
cast. the question was finally de-
cided on the ballots of LAP
men in the state of New York?
This entire country had its political for
tunes by that small vote, and when IL
came to he known that there were Liz
OF a majority for Cleveland and Hen
bricks, In the state of New York, IL was
then known that the country had gone
for the Democrats, and that the differ
ence of Lip decided the Judgment of
5l,OOOOOO OF people. So grand
4 spectacle has never been witnessed
IN any country of the world.
It's force OF sentiment was that the ma
jority shall govern and the Republicans
north and south bend their head In ro-
spect to the judgment of the majority
AZ well as the Democrats, also, and IL il
not an evidence of increased union be-
tween all sections OF the country II
was not In the south that the small diff
ference occurred. II was not
IN the empire state of Geor-
could control 54,0OO0OO of people, but Il
was in a northern state; IL was In New
York, the great and powerful state that
gave a majority of Lilo, and in the north
and in the south that became the judg-
ment of all the people. So / think /
can say TO you that we stand in union
more. firmly to-day than ever before.
[Applause.l
After the speaking the ladies were
driven over the city, and the gentlemen
