Georgia Democrats Nominate Him on the Thirty-First Ballot. Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 16.—Alexauder Stephens Clay of Cobb county,chair- man of the Democratic State execu- tive committee and ex president of the State Senate, was nominated for United States Senator to succeed Jobn B. Gordon by the Democratic Legislature caucus The nomination was made on the thirty first ballot at 3:55 p.m. The vote wars Clay, 90; Howell, 49; Lewis, 18; Norwood, 5; Walsb, 3; Garard, 2. The friends of the successful can- didate immediately began prepara- tions for escorting him to his home in Marietta. twenty miles from Atlanta. The result is what has been ex pected since the race narr.wed down to Clay and Howell. Mr. Clay re- ceived the active support of ex-Sec- retary Hoke Smith, Hon. F. G. Du- bignon and Congressmen Maddox and Tate “Steve” Clay, as the Sen- ator to be is known throughout Georgia, as a boy worked on a farm and secured ean education by bis own efforts. He studied law, was admit | ted to the bar and made his appear ance in politics in the latter "70s. when he was returned from Cobb county as a member of the Legisla- ture. He served some years, and the third term, in 1889, was elected Speaker of the House. At the last session of the General Assembly he was elected a Senator from the Thirty fifth district, and was elected president of the Senate witheut op position. He wasa factor in much important legislation,and often took | the floor to favor measures of merit. Chiet Attorney. St. Louis Chronicle. lt is now understood in local po 7B Gag Gm €.

Very few knew that he was to arrive here at 6:30 o'clock, and when he awoke in a Missouri Pfcific sleeper a couple of pewspa- per men were the only persons there to greet him. When be start ed across Missouri, however, the word was flashed abead that Bryan was aboard the train, and at every station he was greeted with a wildly enthusiastic crowd “Bryan in 1900!” was the cry that met his ears at ev ery station, and the men who yelled it were just as enthusiastic as they bad been the day of the election Women turned out as well as men. They filled the hands of the Ne braska man with chrysanthemums, and risked their lives ruuning after the train to touch his hand At Pleasant Hill 700 people, many of them women, were waiting to greet their favorite when the train pulled iv. It was a long time before the cheering subsided, and there was a mad rush to grasp bis hand. Several large boquets were banded him. They bore cards, of which this is a sample: “Hurrah for William J. Bryan! He'll be our next president ia 1900. Compliments of Mrs J.B. Caviness.” Finally the crowd became quiet and demanded a speech. “Don’t you people know that the} election is over?” asked Mr. Bryan. | “That's all right.” shouted someone. | “There'll be another in 1900, aud) | “I never before knew of men who | had just been defeated,” said Mr Bryan, ‘who were so little disheart | ened and so full of enthusiasm.

When} a man believes be is right he never loses his enthusiasm. There is some thing within him that makes him believe that right is mighty and will in the end prevail. It is better to be right and be defeated than te be wrong and be victorious. I think that time will prove tbat we are |right, and that our cause will tri umpb.” THOUSANDS ANXIOUS TO GRASP HIS HAND The conclusion of Mr. Bryan's would not care to forca my private views upon the public. THANKSGIVING IN MISSOURI), Cause to Give ‘hanks. Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 12— Governor William J. Stone to-day issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation: The President of the United States having designated Thureday, Nov. 26, 1896, asa national Thanksgiving, it is becoming that I should, in pur suance of custom, supplement the proclamation of the President by \appoiating the same to bea day of thanksgiving tu this common-wealth under the designation of public au thority. The ways of Providence are not always entirely clear to mortal eyes, but in His own way and in His own time the Lord works out his ends. It is sufficient for us to know that God is always good and merciful. Thereare few conditioas that could not be worse, but no matter what causes may exist for discontent,there are always abundant reasons for gratitude and thackegiving. The occurrences of the year have not been unmixed with evil, but it is safe tasay that Missouri bas as lit tle reason to complain of the bad thingsand as much reason to rejoice for the good things that bave fallen to our common lot, as any other| State in the Union I therefore invoke the good peo | ple of the State to abstaia from their | usual employments, and by appro- priate service to observe the 26th day ofthe present month asa day of thaskegiving.
