THE BOILERS, MEETING AT SIT.
ANDREWS HALL.
The Legislative Ticket PaIched-The
Se-calIed Senatorial Convention
Discussed.

The placards which announced q meeting
OF the boilers from the regular Democratic
organizati 0n and the natural curiosity OF
the citizens to be enlightened upon the
movements OF this so-called Democratic
party, drew a large crowd to st. Andrews
Hall last night, and at s o'clock the building
was pretty well packed. A band Of music
had been provided for the occasIon-their
musical notes attuning the minds Of those
present, and making all in the best possible
humor.
The meeting was called to order, and
Capt. John D. Tenbroeck was, on motion,
called upon to preside over the delibera-
tons Of the meeting, with Mr.. John ID.
Donelan as Secretary.
The President thanked the meeting for
the distinguished honor conferred upon
him, and announced that the meeting was
ready for the transaction Of business.
Mr.. s. Nussbaum then moved that Mr.
NJ ]. DOYLE be nominated TO fill the
vacancy on the legislative ticket oecasioned
i bv the declipation Of Mr.. 2. J. O'Conner.
The motion was seconded by Mr.. j. J.
| Abrams in a short but very earnest speech.
| He recognized the necessity Of
i nominee who was the friend OF
Il
| that Mr.. DOYLE was that man; that he
| occupied a distinguished place in the re-
spect and esteem Of q large class of the
/ citizens OF Savannah, and that his nomina
/ ton would strengthen the ticket materially.
4 At the conclusion Of his remarks the ques-
/ ton on the motion was put to the meeting
and carried.
1t was then moved and carried that a
| committee OF three be appointed to notify
4 Of fraf Int IN ha
hurry Of business, and the speechifying
coming on rather suddenly, the committee
| was not named by the Chairman, and no
| announcement made Of their selection.
| We presume this was an oversight.
Mr.. Warning Russell, accompanied by Mr..
| r +. G. Smith, OF Bryan, then approached
and occupied the platform, the former ad-
dressing the meeting, and in an sppropn-
ate manner introducing 10 the audience Mr..
Smith, delegate from Bryan to the Sena-
tOrial Convention, which had met at Eden,
| and had nominated as the Democratic Ssna-
tor to represent the First Senatorial district
/ Hon. Morgan Rawls, of bingham county
Mr.. Smith said he felt grstiied at the
honor Of standing before the people OF
Savannah, and proceeded to give an &C
count Of the acts and dOings OF the Senate
rial Convention held as above stated. He
said that when the convention met, and
that when the question OF the Chatham
delegation came up, Mr.. Rvals, OF the
| Theatre delegation, presented the creden-
tials of that delegation, regularly signed by
the Chairman and Secretary Of the Execu-
| tive Committee o. Chatham county.
1 Mr.. Abrams, from the delegation from st.
| Andrews Hall, also presented credentials,
claiming to be the representatives Of Chat
ham county Democracy, He said that at
this point one of the Theatre delegates
made the proposition to submit the matter
Il 70 ho ~ Of
Bryan county delegations, which was agreed
TO by the members Of both delegations, and
| they retired, leaving the.matter,tO the deci-
| sion of the jury they had themselves select
ed. That the bingham and Bryan delega-
lions, after hearing arguments on both sides,
had come to the conclusion that It was sim
| ply a division among Democrats, and
concluded to settle the matter by
,estiDg both delegations, giving three votes
TO each delegation; that having arrived at
| this, to them, reasonable conclusion, both
sets OF delegates were called in and the re-
cult announced, when to his establishment
five OF the Theatre, or the delegation who
had the certificates Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the Democratic party, withdrew
Evidently the sympathies of Mr.. Smith
we're with the action Of the convention, and
he Endorsed their action as Democratic in
principle and conducive to the harmony Of
the party.
| He continued at some length to discuss
the nomination OF Hon. Morgan RAwls,
cOntending that 1t was according to the
| Democratic doctrine of rotation. For twenty
years your county has borne the banner
NON We ask you to come and help us elect
,ur standard bearer, who has received the
| three votes Of the Theatre delegation, which
the convention allowed TO be cast by the
| elegaJe remaining, MIR. Schwarz, who, like
StOnewall Jackson, stood immovable in the
ischarge Of his duty as delegate, and who
aid that the delegation, having submitted
to the arbitration, were bound to abide the
i result.
Mr.. j. J. Abrams being called on, came
o the front aud made sharp address, ex-
| planning the position of the st. Andrews
dsll Democrats, and commencing the
actiOn OF the Senatorial Convention, he
felt confident that the ticket would be
triumphantly indicated at the polls. After
Il few touches on what he demonstrates the
organ, he wound up by an appeal that the
hone and sinew, the blood aud muscle Of
he Democratic party represented by the St.
Andrew Hall element, proceed to the polls
en- election day and show who represent
The true Democracy Of the county.
Mr.. Wsring Russell was next called upon,
and replied In a short speech, in which he
/ touched upon the questions which probably
would be preached in the next Legislature.
He briefly alluded to them in the following
order: Re-dlstricting the State, the lease
or sale OF the State road, the bogus bond
question, the Railroad Commission, all OF
which he disposed OF In short sententiOus
sentences. He did not think It required
master mind or great intellect to grapple
with these questions. He thanked the
| meeting and the party for the high honor
conferred on him, and trusted that at the
polls the people would show by their votes
who were the organized Democracy OF
Chatham county.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Russell's re-
marks, motion to adjourn was made and
the audience dispersed very quietly, the
band playing grand march.
