Atlanta Constitution.

AlluUtd AoHhilluNluls
II is gratifying to note that the honors
paid TO Mr.. Bryan by the democrats OF
Atlanta were not factional In their char
acter. Those who had differed with him as
to the best methods Of rcmcdying the evils
that beset the business and industrial in
terosts of the country joined with their fell
low democrats in doing honor 10 one Of
the greatest of modern democrats, man
who is as bread and us catholic in his con
cep,ons and sympathies as the principles
of the democratic party, which concerns
itself with the welfare of all the people
without regard TO party. class or condition.
1t was a fitting moment for all demo
Gratis to lay aside their differences and
cone together for the purpose OF paying
tribute 10 Il man who is the most typical
political leader of his time and the most
unselfish advocate of the peoples cause.
and our citizens took advantage of 1T. Gold
and silver men joined together TO welcome
MIR. Bryan.
1t was characteristic Of the great leader
of the party that ho should seize the OPP
portunity to declare that he was not wed
dod 10 any particular method of reaching
the end and aim OF democratic government,
but would welcome any method that pro-
duced the desired result-that result being
the prosperity aud happiness OF the people.
This IS democracy OF the highest type
the end and not the means,
The illustration of this is simple. IL
the republicans restore prosperity TO the
pccple the result will warrant the means
employed, and whatever legtim1'., aud just
method is used to bring that result about
will be Endorsed by Mr.. Bryan. the demo
cratic party and all the people. 1t is for
this reason that tho Constitution has been

CARLIsLE's AssAILANT ARRESTED.
The Man Who Threw the Cigar in
the Secretary's Face Arraigned.


Covington, KY, Oct. 2s.-John Pagan,
arrested for throwing a cigar in Secretary
Carlisles' face Thursday night, was
brought before the police court this morn
ing, but the hearing was postponed to
Nov. 5.
The law-abiding citizens of Covington,
irrespective of party affiliation, crowded
Odd Fellows hall tonight, the occasion
being the meeting called to condemn the
action of the rowdies swho egged and
otherwise insulted Secretary John G. Car
Isle last week. Hon. Harvey Myeps ex-
speaker of the Kentucky House. presid-
ed. Addresses were made by ex-Lieur
Gov. Bryan, Judge c. NJ. Simrall ana
other prominent citizens rebuking in the
most emphatic manner the action Of the
hoodlums.
Resolutions were passed condemning
the outrage and insults offered to the Sec
retary of the Treasury and demanding
that the authorities offer a reward and
take other energetic steps to discover ard
punish the offenders.
Hon. Henry Hallam offered a substitute
for the resolution, which censured the
Yale students for their discourtesy to-
ward Mr.. Bryan. This was unanimously
voted down, on the ground that the meet
ing was not called for that purpose.
Mayor RinocS made an address, in
