 Eloquent Words.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1.-The Atlanta Constitution features a political inter- view with Governor Simeon E. Bald win of Connecticut. He said: T think the Democrats will carry the country next year.
 Asked his opinion of the probable chances of Woodrow Wilson and Gov ernor Harmon, he replied: "It is too far ahead to choose a man with any certainty as the strongest candidate to put before the people The Demo- cratic party is rich in good men in every quarter of the country and in every part of the country the people have become very tired of Republican profession as compared with Repub- lican practice. I do not think the Re- publicans will be apt to nominate MT. Roosevelt again He has lost ground immensely in the East, and largely in the West, since he went|out of of flee
 At the present moment Taft has the best chance to be nominated, but one cannot tell what will happen be- tween now and next summer. l. think Taft is strong man, and is every where respected. In practical states manship I do not think he is rated quite so highly
 Connecticut's Part.
 The State of Connecticut and the City of Hartford have loomed large in the exercises which today marked the dedication of the beautiful monument commemorating the famous mission of peace to the North undertaken by the old Gate City Guard of this city in 1879 Governor Baldwin and his offi- cial escort. the First company, Gov ernor's Foot Guand, and the Cover lior's staff, and Mayor Edward L. nf fnrd Q nd hn Q m Phalanx of the same city have all been the observed of thousands of eyes throughout the day. Perhaps no other southern city has seen since the close of the Civil War so imposing a military spectacle. It is certain that Atlanta has never before had so many famous organizations of the semi military character within her gates. There are thousands upon thousands of visitors here from all the South and the city is beautiful in it's prodigal display of the National colors and the air vibrates with the music of many bands, and the streets have been fill ed with the tramp of thousands of marching feet.
 In yesterdays celebration Governor Baldwin had the place of honor be- cause of his selection to deliver the ,dedicatory address. Mayor Smith of Hartford was among the visiting offf-

 Gov. Baldwin's Address.
 In his address, which formally ded- icated the monument, Gov. Baldwin a all yUif inO He said:
 "The soldiery of the north and the south are uniting today upon this spot to pay the worship due to the Angel of Peace. Here she rises before us in the simple majesty of that compelling power by which peace sooner or later stays the hand of war.
 "But war leaves wounds that are sometimes slow to heal. Happy thoughts can help to brush away the, last lingering bitterness, and restore the good understanding of former days. Such help the Gate City Guard of Atlanta rendered in 1879 in it's trip. This imposing gathering is an assemblage of the soldiery of the states of the American union. which have been longest acquainted with each other. Each company hers states which joined in the Declara- tion of Independence. Between these thirteen states the close, association of colonial days has drawn a peculiar bond of union.
 "I come from an ancient historic commonwealth that also had such. a colonial life. A governor of any of the old thirteen states has a certain home feeling in any of them. Each of those states was brought very close to eafh other in the days of theSRev- olution. They have one common rec-
