As a local character Mr.. Grady
won personal fame. He was called the

of never taking anything back. One day

Mr.. Grady's latest triumphs were
in oratory. In responding to a toast at
the banquet of the New England society,
in 1886, he gave speech to the sentiments
he had long cherished and written about,
and, fortunately for his fame, he wa

champion of southern progress on new
lines. He awoke the next morning to
find himself famous. A year later Mr..
Grady engineered a very successful
southern exposition at Piedmont, neal
his home, and here and at Augusta he
delivered two powerful orations on the
problems of the south, industry and the
race question. Now the south applaud
ed, and in a sense responded to his lead
ership. The recent effort of Mr.. Grady
before the Boston merchants was a bold
summing up of the results of the move
ments for progress with which he was
associated for the past ten years.
Grady was a voluminous writer. His
thought was clear, although the language
usedwas somewhat involved. Asaspeaker
he was ready and forceful. His stature
was low, with a welldeveloped figure, and
his face was full Of expression. A smile
played continually about his lips, and a
pair of very bright eyes lighted up his al
most swarthy skin. Some neighborly
critic, in a spirit of faint praise, dubbed
him a genial Irishrnan," his ancestry
having been exiles of old Erin. The title
was not a misnomer, for he was brim full
of geniality and far too good natured to be
a partisan leader. Perhaps his greatest
work was to prove by example that
a young nan of liberal and progressive
ideas cal rise to power in the south and
have a large following among men of
his own generation.

his airport. The victory was credited to
Grady, and it came very near making
the young editor United States senator.
Grady's national reputation was derived
from his labors in interests pertaining
to the whole south. He identified
himself strongly with material and So
cial developments, and in this depart
ment he took a somewhat unique
stand, and held it with boldness. He
said in 1877 that the young men of the
south were ready to forget the war,
although respecting its heroic southern
traditions, and that slavery would not
be re-established if the thing were posi-
BILE. Industrial and commercial enter
prises, he thought, would occupy the
time and the energies of the young men,
and as editor of a prominent paper he
threw himself heartily into the recon-
struction of business. About the time
of his elevation to the editorship of The
Constitution the articles by Mr.. Gable on
the status of the freedmen were attract
ing general attention, and in 1885, no
strong voice having as yet arisen to
speak for the south in reply to Mr..
Cable, Grady published an essay in The
Century Magazine, stating the negro
question from a southern point of view.
The article was entitled, "In Plain Black
and White" This paper suggests, if it
does not plainly state, all of the views
upon the vexed question which Mr..
Grady has given out in his numerous
writings and orations since. He began

Making full and frank answer, the au-
thor said that the south has measured
the difficulties and found them to be
that of two distinct races placed upon
the same soil in social and civil equal
ity. The relations between the whites
and the blacks in churches, schools, So
cial organizations, on the railroad and
in theatres had been fixed by choice in
both cases on 1.-THE basis of equal accom-
modations, but separate" The conclu-
sions of the author, after stating all
phases of the problem, were that unmis-
taxable domination of the white races
would be the outcome. This would be
due simply to 'the right Of character.
intelligence and property to rule"
The new champion of the south gained
a transient reputation by this essay, but
the great question was then causing only
a ripple, and had Mr.. Grady been salts
fled with this single pronunciamento the
very ideas that have made him fame as
an orator would have passed into obscur-
ity. Meanwhile the world giving the es-
sayist but a passing attention, the Georgia
editor was forging to the front in affairs
of a more local character. The city of
Atlanta undertook in 1885 to enforce To-
cal prohibition, and Grady became an
ardent champion of the "dry' element.
Owing to a difference of opinion among
the managers of The Constitution, the
paper was not committed to prohibition,
but Mr.. Grady waged the warfare of the
'drys' over his own signature. Many
amusing things occurred during the
campaign. Grady and some other edi-
torial exponent sometimes took opposite
sides in the same issue of The Constitu-
ton. and The New York Sun, which al

THE HON. Fl. W. GRADY.
ORATOR AND EDITOR AND PROMl-
NENT MAN OF AFFAIRS.

Sketch OF One of the Best Men of the
New south-His ReooIlections of the
war-His Efforts to Obliteratc Sectional
Animosity.
The late Henry W. Grady, Of Georgia,
editor and publicist, was one of the most
prominent if not the ablest of the leaders
of the south. Unlike Gordon, Iitzbugh
Lee, Ex-Governor Brown and Others of
the Confederate survivors, who at the
closeof the wal accepted the situation and
placed themselves abreast of the times
to bring back prosperity to the south,
Grady was a man of the young genera
ton. He was, therefore, clear in record
and free from the prejudiceso of the great
political contests of the past. The position
that he occupied before the reading and
thinking world was remarkable for one
man at any crisis of life, and especially
for a man of Mr.. Grady's years. He was
editor of The Atlanta Constitution, a
strong southern organ, and contributor
to many first class northern periodicals;
he inspired if he did not govern the
southern policy of The New York Her
aid, and he could command an audience
composed of the cream of the people
whenever he chose to appear on the
platform. And yet he was considerably
under 40 years Of age.
Grady's ~recollections of the war, as he
delighted to recount, were that he was
a school boy, and, in common with his
classmates, had the war craze, and by
hnrlr ar r,rccly rrrt RI thn front met Of f1a
windup. His father was a soldier in
the Georgia contingent at Petersburg,
and when young Grady reached the COM
mand it was to learn of his fathers death
in Lees last aggressive movement, the
brilliant but disastrous night sortie led
by Gen. Gordon against Grants lines at
Forts Stedman and Haskell in the spring
of 1865. When the troops scattered from
A~ppomattox and went home the bright
young wal orphan found friends among
his fathers comrades, and in the course
of time became the protege of Gen. John
B. Gordon, the first soldier of Georgia.
During the reconstruction period Grady
continued his school work, wrote and re-
ported a little, and finally started a
country newspaper, with the usual re-
suit Of first trials-failure. His news
paper work, however, had made him
capable of representing The Herald in
the south, and with this acknowledged
position he began to rise. His Herald
connection openedup the southern coun-
try as his field, and it also developed in
him broad views and the highest capa-
cities of journalism. Grady entered, the
editorial rooms of The Constitution as
part owner and editor in 1878. Almost
his first great work was the manage
ment of the wonderful political cam
paign of 1886, that made Gen. Gordon
governor of Georgia. Gordon, who had
been United States senator, and had re-

able to report back to the House yesterday from
the Foreign Affairs Committee the resolution
calling on the State Department for information
relative to the assassination of Gen. Barrundia,
but the absence of quorum and the early ad-
journment of the House prevented this. In
speaking of the matter Governor McCreary de-
clares strongly that something should be done
to vlndicaUe the honor of the American flag in
the premises. "The assassination of Barrundia,n
he said, son an American vessel flying the Ameri-
can flag by foreign soldiers was one of the
most fragrant violations of international
usages on record. 1t doesn't matter that Bar
runda fired the first shot. He had the right to
defend himself from assault, and when armed
men advanced on him in threatening manner
an assault had already been committed. The
deck of vessel is if anything, considered more
sacred from invasion by foreign soldiers than
the soil of the country whose flag flies at her
masthead"
People at the Capitol have been asking for
the last few days if Speaker Reed was losing

have forced the seating of LangstOn two or
three times during the week. but when the Repub
licans seemed to be just on the point of finally

grew slack, or some slip was made, and Mr..
LangstOn's chances faded away again. This

Speaker REED should put on his sash again,
so as to make clear just what portion of his

Speaker should be magnanimous enough to give

the interesting and important fact that in spite
of Speaker Reed and his rules the Democratic
minority still finds means of maintaining its
rights against the tyrannical Republican ma
jority. The photographs of the Chamber of
Representatives taken on Friday, showing the
Republican side crowded with members
while only four seats were occupied on the
Democratic side of the House, will be litho-
graphed by the Republicans and scattered by
the hundred thousand throughout the country

unique campaign document, and maybe the
Democrats can turn it to their own uses just as
we'll as the Republicans.

TALK OF TUE WEEK.

The result of the Maine elections has given
some Republicans hope of obtaining majority
in the next House. In view of the fact that al
though Speaker Reed obtained the largest plu
rality ever given him, his total vote was less
than at the two preceding elections, it is not
easy to see why the Republicans should find
mnch encouragement in the result in Maine.
But they have begun to talk that way, whereas
a month ago man as prominent as Uncle Joe
Cannon is said to have admitted that the Demo
Gratis would control the next House by good
majority. The Republicans bank largely on the
passage of the Tariff BILL no doubt Perhaps
they also imagine that the Democratic Congress
sonal campaign committee means to continue
all over the country the policy of mastery in
activity, pursued with such satisfactory results
to the Maine Republicans. This is hardly
likely, however. Chairman Flower will at
least refrain from sending out any more of his
famous arid land speeches, and this is point
gained for the Democrats. 1t is believed that
the $4,000 copies of this speech, which Mr..
Flower sent to Maine, had more to do with
keeping the Democrats away from the polls
than anything else. Maine Democrats are al
ways dry enough, Heaven knows, and to have a
speech on such subject as arid lands thrust at
them to aggravate their chronic thirst, was more
than they could bear with equanimity.
