Who Is Entitled 20 the Support Of
she Ro,,,oo.o,sa wa-.a

the Democratic Party4
Editor Morning NeaOs: Division leads to
disintegration, and disintegration leads to
death. This fate threatens the Democratic
party in Savannah, under the policy upon
which we are running this election. Is the
party so strong that it can afford to divide
on a mere question of preference for
candidate? Let us suppose that both
candidates for Mayor are good men
and worthy of election, and that
both sets of Aldermen fifty represent the
interests of Savannah; let us coneede what l
believe is true, that II either of the two
tickets stood alone, 1t would deserve success,
and ought to receive the partY's vote.
What | say is this: The question of their
preferences, as the two tickets stand op-
posed, ought not to be taken into considera-
ton at all, and my object Ia this communi-
cation is to show why.
In making my point, | wish to disclsim
all personal feelings or preferences. AS a
party man / have none, for | would vote
either ticket under equal circumstances.
We all know Mr.. PURSES merits as q man,
his business tact, his laborious services In
Council and his Successful efforts to float
the citY's debt, and to place its finances on a
healthy base. Whether he is elected or not,
the next administration will have proited
by the results of bis four years service in
Council. We also know Captain
Wheaton's services, his honorable career in
the war, and bis noble self sacrifice in the
ctty's behalf in the sicklY fall of 1876. For
these things he deserves and has received
t gratitude of his fellow citizens. Either
of these gentlemen, then, let US admit, is
worthy OF being Mayor, but their respective
merits have already been adjudicated. So
far as We, the voters, are concerned, the
question is not who will be the best Mayor,
but Which candidate is uenOnainee Of the pdrty>
In selecting the party candidate the Exc
cutive Committee of the Democratic party,
whose business and duty it was, canvassed
the situation and requested its Chairman,
Captain Geo. A. Mercer, to call a mass
meeting of the party, at which meeting the
Purse ticket was duly nominated by an
almost unanimous vote. Mr.. Purse, there
fore, and Mr. Purses ticket alone, have the
right to call upon a Democratic voter for
support.
But evenif another Democratic ticket had
a right in the field,i ought not to be headed
by Captain Wheaton, because he had been
and was member of the Executive Com
mittee when Mr. Purses nomination was
made and ratified by the party in open meet.
ing, and he neither approved, made protest
or resigned, so as to avoid responsibility.
Under such circumstances he was as much
committed to the party's ticket as Captain
Mercer was.
II Captain Wheaton, then, on party
principles, has no right to run, certainly no
party man is justified in voting for him.

"And Peter Donelan said that Waring
Russell said he didn't care a id mot the
wicked big D, Mr.. Printer.
There you have it, gentlemen voters. This
is the head and front of the offending-the
entire capital and stock in trade of the op-
position. Not for any official dereliction,
not for any sin of omission or commission,
express or implied. but because of "what
Waripg Russell said" we are called upon to
make a vicarious sacrifice of our present
Mayor. Alas! how are the mighty fallen!
When he who has SO long sat in the seat of
justice and ladled out law to d. DIS. becomes
himself victim-when these very d. DIS.
Cor words to that effect) rise up to condemn
him.
But, seriously, who or what then is this
ID mouse which the long laboring noun
tain has brought forth with grande flou-
rishe IG seems to be simply this, that
some man, or clique, or ring, is said to con-
troll our elections and put in Office whom it
will. Well, admit this to be true, and what
then? Are not Anderson, Screven and
Wheaton the peers OF any of US ? and if
such men as these are supplied us by con-
selves Is not the official record of this
honored trio such as any city might be
proud Of? VIII any Que dare assert that
one man or clique can or has controlled
these men to their or our disgrace or detri-
ment If not, what does it mat
ter by whom such men are cho-
sen OF course there are men who
could have done better than these. We all
hear the sound Of their mighty deeds, but,
somehow, neither Warwick, the King
maker, nor the other public will back these
men, and they all remain stay-at-home
statesmen and post facto prophets.
1t is not aohO put the men there, but
what they did when there, which concerns
you and I, fellow voters. And to ignore
the record and assail the man through or
because of the words or action of another
and outside party, is the most shallow and
thin political claptrap-a kind OF boone
rang, which should, and generally does,
recoil upon its projectors and put them to
an open shame. Quill SolT.

Ffre This Morning.

About one o'clock this morning a local
alarm was given from the Barlow fire en-
CINE house, caused by the discovery Of
flames issuing from the two story frame sta
bic and wood house, on South Broad street
lane, between Floyd and Drayton streets,
on the premises owned and occupied
by the Misses Feeley. Immediately
thereafter an alarm was turned
in from Station No. IL, corner South Broad
and Bull streets, by Sergt. Harvey, who was
in the vicinity at the time. The stable was
filed with straw and hay and the fire made
a tremendous blaze, giving the appearance
of big couflsgration. The promptness of
the Bsrtows, however, arrested this calami-
ty and the fire was speedily extinguished,
though the building was pretty well burned.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but is
supposed 10 be incendiaTy.
