SPEAKER CRISP TALKS.
He is Naturally Happy Over the Victory oil
His Party.


A,rrR1o11s. GA, November 13.-lt Is
safe to say that no Democrat In this
broad land felt deeper or more sincere
interest In Tuesdays battle OF ballots
than Speaker Crisp. Since returning
from the North, Judge Crisp has not
been well; but he watched the returns
closely, and with keen satisfaction
asked him to-day for an expression on
the result. He said:
"The election OF Cleveland and Stew
enson by so large majority orings
happiness to millions OF American peo-
pie. 1t demonstrates the omnlpotence
of honesty. All the vast fund contrib
uted by the monopolists and tarin
barops of the country for the purpose
Of debauching the franchise has proven
Intellectual, and the plain. practical In
dependent people Of the United States
have asserted their rights ana
again taken control Of their gov
ernment. The defeat of Harrison
removes q dark cloud from one
horizon. The threat OF the Force bill
has had a tendency TO paralyze our In
dustries and domestic commerce. Capl-
tai. always timid, would not seek In
vestment In the South when there was
the prospect Of the passage OF law
which would disturb and disrupt exist
ing conditions here. Cleveland's cleo
tIon dispels this cloud, and we may now
hone for restoration Of confidence and
a renewal OF business prosperity.
"Cleveland's election means that the
people want reduction of taxation.
The Republican policy Of high and pro-
scriptive tariff has been demonstrated
60 the people as most injurious TO every
interest, and they want no more OF IT,
The Democratic party will enact such
q tariff law as will raise an ample fund
for the economical administration OF
government. and at the same time
cheapeu 20 the people all the necessarleS
of life. If we cannot increase the price
TO the cotton producer OF what ne
makes we can increase the purchasing
mower of what ne gets for his crop, and
thus greatly benefit him. This is true
of every other industry in the countryS
All will be benefited by a reduction OF
the tariff, and correction OF its ine-
qualities.
The election of Cleveland means an
uonest and economical administrator OF
our affairs, all classes, the high and, the
low. the sick and the poor can feel, and
in their hearts do feel that with CleVe-
land as President their every interest
so far as in him lies, will be completely

The people have "come to their own
again" Government by and for the
people has been restored and those who
obtained power by questionable means
four years ago have been relegated to
the rear. We all rejoice, we are all
happy, and we all feel a greater ad-
miration for our neigbbors and our
friends to-day than we felt yesterday.
I have visited many States during
the campaign and on my return home
believed we were going TO win, but did
not know by how large majority that
desirable result would be attained. We
had the strongest candidates in the
country. They stood on platform
which met the approval OF the people,
and our campaign has been magnln-
Gently managed. Locally we have
routed our adversaries, too. The third
party was ia Geogia insignificant in
number but practically there was a
fusion between it and the Republicans,
so that we had to contend against the
combined strength Of both. The Re-
pubicon managers In Georgia had
printed upon their tickets in each dis
trict the names of the third party can
didate for Congress. This was prsc-
tical endorsement of such candidate by
the Republicans, and the colored people
generally voted the ticket at 1t was re-
ceived from headquarters.
In the Congressional districts the
number of third party votes which third
party candidates received for Congress
is represented by the number OF votes
which were cash for Weaver. All in
excess of that number were cast by Re-
publicans.
1--WE have great occasion for rejoic-
ing. Our victory means local self-gov-
ernment and home rule. 1t means low
or taxation and larger commerce. 1t
means. honesty and economy In public
affairs. 1t means the people will con-
troll their own affairs. In word 1t
means the triumph Of Democratic prin-
ciDles. and in their triumph alone is to
be found the happiness, the independ-
ence and the prosperity OF the great
masses OF the American people.
