CRISP'S SPEECH A HIT.
REQUESTS for Copies Of it Coming in
From Every Section.

.o+inq Constituent Gould Wish.
New Postmasters in Georgia, Florida
and South Carolina.
washington, Feb. 9-The speech of
cneal,er Crisp in closing the debate on
the tariff bill on Feb l, certainly struck
,on,,lar chord in the public mind. He is
being deluged by requests for copies.
T,ese come from all points of the coun-
trv east. west, north, south; and they
oome from all classes of men-frOm mer-
chants. manufacturers, lawyers, farmers,
cd unite number from students at
colleges In some cases copies of the
sneacb are asked for by the thousand, by
cbairmen of democratic committees, who
want them for distribution, and who say
that their circulation among the people
will do immense good.
The fact is, it was remarkable speech.
Sneaker Crisp has an analytical mind,
which enables him to thoroughly dlsSect
a subiect; and then he has a power of
condensation that enables him to present
his thoughts most strikingly, and yet in
the most compact form possible. In this
latter respect, he is remarkable. He Will
sav in an hour what it would take most
men an hour and half to say. Not only
il there no weakness of argument, but
there is also no waste of words. His ideas
are as clear as crystal, and his diction is
the perfection Of terseness.
MODEL TARIFF REFoRMER.
CONGRESSMAN Carter Tate, of the Ninth
district, is a genuine tariff reformer. OF
ali the Georgia delegation he was the only
one who had to squeeze his own pocket
hook in order to vote for the Wilson bill.
Some of the other members had some con-
stituents whose interests were affected
adversely by the schedule in the Wilson
bill but Mr. Ta5e was the only one to
whom it brought personal loss.
The Tate family, of which Carter is
member own immense marble quarries in
North Georgia. To tell the amount of
capital they have invested, would require
seven figures and yet MIR. Tate stood up
like man to the democratic platform,
and voted for a reduction of the tariff on
marble Other members OF the party
kicked and squirmed over certain items
in the schedule, but he did not. He was
elected on a platform which called for
reduction of the tariff; and he went for it,
although he himself was the loser.
In another way Mr. Tate stood by the
party to his own hurt. He voted for the
income tax, although he and his father
and his uncle are probably the only three
men in his district who will be affected by
it. In this, as in the other matter Carter
is true grit, and he showed that his de-
mOcracy is of the sort that is not affected
by self-interest He is for democracy
first, and then Tate can come along after
ward.
SENATOR CoLoUITT.
The idea has got out among some of the
Georgia papers that Senator Colquitts
illness prevents his properly attending to
the duties that belong to his position.
As a matter of fact, the senator is at his
post every day, attending to his duties,
and he has done so all through the pres
ent congress. 1t takes very bad weather
to keep him at home. His mind is clear,
and he allows nothing to interfere with
the proper discharge of his duties, He
has presided at all the meetings of the
committee on postOffices and post roads,
Of which he is chairman. Over 1880 APP
pointments have come before that COM
mittee to be acted on, and he has partici-
pated in them all.
Moreover, he still takes as active ip-
terest as ever in working for his friends
who want recognition of any sort by the
government. Fidelity to his friends and
zeal in their behalf have always been
among his marked characteristics, and
they are as strong now as ever.
