triotic Speech at Atlanta.

Atlanta. Ca, Nov 15.--Gov.-elect Brad
ley of Kentucky is quite a lion in At
lanta. He came down with the Louisville
Board of Trade party to attend the Blue
Grass day exercises at the exposition to-
morrow. Col. Bradley was present al
the Massachusetts exercises to-day and

taken by surprise. Responding, he said;
Kentucky in a great hberty-loving COM
monwealth. ] love the south just as well
as any Georgian can, aud we viii ride to
our stirrups In blood before we Will let
the flag of the union be torn from it's
resting place We love massachusetts for
the lives of her great men, and we love
Georgia for the life of that great patriot
and big-hearted man, Henry w. Grady.
and no doubt his spirit, in the keeping
of his God, is lowering above his beloved
country and smiles benignly down on this
scene of brothery love and the direcs
fruits OF his labors. but, bear in mind
that Kentucky is the home of some of the
south's greatest men. 1t was old Ken
lucky that gave birth to some of the noble
spirits that fought for the souths inde-
pendence.
''The old line of Mason and Dixon. IL
such a line ever did exist, has been wiped
away. Let us forever obliterate its every
trace to-day. There is no north nor south ;
it is a great hberty-oving people, and
we are the same and inseparable."
Col. Bradley was loudly applauded. He
was dined tonight and much is being
made of him. He is quite boom here
for a place on the national republican
ticket

STRIKE OF THE sHIPDUILDERs
The Prospects of a Settlement Grow
More Remote.

London, Nov. 15.-The prospects of a
settlement of the strike of the ship-build-
ers on the Clyde grow more remote. The
employers refuse to submit the dispute
to mediation. and will only treat with the
delegates from the men. The government
recently appointed Gerald Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, to use his good Of
fees to secure a settlement of the strike,
it being stated that his selection was due
to the desire of the admiralty that there
be no delay in existing contracts for the
building of war ships, or vessels that
could be used as auxiliary cruisers. 1t
was also stated that Mr.. Balfour would
compel the ship-building firms, not only
on the Clyde, but at Belfast, to concede
to the demands of the men. From the
above dispatch, however, it appears that
the employers do not propose to submit
to any government interference, and will
settle the dispute on terms to be decided
upon after a conference with the repre-
sentatiVeS of the strikers.
