| He used his famous lover there story at the expense of President Roosevelt He grew eloquent in his condemnation Of the Roosevelt negro policy. He con cluded with a good negro story and the crowd cheered and roared with laughter. StaIlnes Is Presented. Chairman Sanford presented MT. Stal- | lngs as q "brainy and brilliant man. | who said that he wanted no office He was received with enthusiasm. He put in some good words for Hefn, and he predicted that after service of five years in congress the name would be house. hold word the country over.
 He was not here to amuse the audi enee but to talk seriously and discuss democratic regularity. He fired couple of shells at the newspapers that have been roasting the Stallings- Heilin follow ing and said that 1t had even come to the point that they were setting down rules to how he should drink his wakul He favored the south asserting it's rigeN in national affairs. The south has noM- ing to apologize for. No great southernSr had even been permitted to write plank in the platform
 MT. Stallings said he was almost per- suaded that it would have been better had the democrats lost in the last elee- tion of MT. Cleveland, as the party had eyer since Dttll lOTttu lO tApltilil tiipt administration, with its bond issues and the like The constitution had been writ ten by southern men and democrats. and so long as the constitution lives you will find the democratic party living by It.
 Achievement of Democrats.
 All of the greatest achievements of the country were achievements of democrats and the country's history was the history of that party up to 1860, when bolt came and the party had three nominees. Then the republican party was born. When ever there is a bolt it Is but short stop into the republican party, and there Is where the bolter usually lands. The man who wants to bolt is at least dangerous to this southern land, he declared The head Of the democratic ticket ought to be man who believes in letting the south settle it's own problems.
 Would Not Say Hard Things.
 He would not say hard things about anybody. but he was going to drink his water in whatever manner he pleased. and he was going to hit 'em whenever they stepped off the right side of demo- cracy. He used his "hardshelr' religion to again illustrate the position of the bolters They should not be invited to seats in the "amen corner" until they had first repented. The speaker did not call names but he assaied the records of ''some editors" for democratic regularity. He did not favor the endorsement of any platform but would write new onc' short and to the point, full of true demo- cratic principles.
 In the Mans Interest.
 MT. Stallings said his speech was not in the interest of any man specially for congress, but again expressed his per sonal preference for Mayor Mcclellan. He eulogized Bailey, German, Hill, Park er Hearst and others who were "regu- lar"
 He accused the newspapers of having put many words in his mouth which he had never said. 'I wish to the Lord, tha. there was some sort of censorship that would make them tell the truth like us lawyers" he said. He denied any knowl edge of a Hearst barrel in Alabama, but said he was paying his own expenses while making this tour It was done through loyalty and love for the party.
 In closing Mir. Stallings said all bolt CTS would be welcomed back into the party. Boys come back home like the prodlcal son, and take a seat at the table and get you a clean napkin and wipe that old Palmer and Buckner taste out of your mouth. It will be worth a life time of offce-holding to get back into our company for just one week"
 The speakers were received with fair show of applause and enthusiasm.
