TO WORK FOR A BIG VOTE
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS CONSOLIDAT-
ING FOR TUESDAYS FIGHT.


Ask the Railroads to Give a Hall
Holiday for Employees to Vote-An
Appeal to be Made Tomorrow for
Every Democratic Vote.
The application of the Peasants follow
ing of colored republicans for the appoint
ment Of federal supervisors continues to be
the talk of the town. Mr.. Isaac Beckett,
the district supervisor, said yesterday that
he had no interest in the matter further
than to forward the application to Judge
Pardee with the names of four democrats
and four republicans. The demo-
Gratis had been recommended to
him by Hon R. E. Lester, the democratic
candidate for congress. Mr.. Beckett was
unable TO recall the names.
THE SUPERVISORS.
The MORNING NEWS, however is able to
lay before its readers this morning the full
list of the eieht federal supervisors. The
democrats are MesSrs. j. S. Collins, the fruit
and produce deaisI; NJ. NJ. Sullivan, the
fish and Oyster dealer; Levi S. Nathans,
salesman, and John Immen, formerly doing
business at Bryan and Whitaker streets.
The republicans are all colored, and are
J. G.. Simmons, shoemaker, who was de-
feated for the state Senate four years ago
by Capt Robert Falligant; Lewis B.
1oomer, in tie employ of Col. Deveaux, in
the Tribune office; William II. Matthews,
the c1lored justice of the peace, candidate
for coroner, and keeper of a saloon on West
Broad street, and A. H. CASTOR, Bryan
street barber.
Inquiry Yesterday at the clerks office of
the United States district court shows that
no commissions have yet been received
from Judge Pardee, to whom the names were
sent, but 1t is not doubted that the appoint
menJs will be made.
NO NECESSITY FOR THEM
There is some indignation that super
visors were asked for, and especially in the
face Of the fact that no reason is believed to
exist why supervisors are thought TO be
necessary.
One of the managers of the election said
yesterday: 81 can see no necessity for
them, but ! have no objection to them. The
election will be conducted fairly and the
votes will be counted as cast just
as faithfully without federal super
visors as with them. We S all
however, be governed by section 2,029 OF
the revised statutes. The object of that sec
tion was to strip the supervisors of the
power conferred upon them by
previous legislation. Congress passed
bill abolishing the entire law, but it was
election next Tuesday are not going TO let
four colored men put their hands among
the ballots, and the republicans must be in
a bad shape here when they can't have one
white man in four for a supervisor. But
then nearly all the whites are democrats ex-
cept few who expect to get Office in the
event of Harrison's election. 1t is
a mistaken idea that the managers
of the election will let the ballot of an
illegal voter go into the box, even if he
swear that he is legal voter. We will not
only keep out such ballots, but arrest the
party attempting to vote Illegally
Another manager said: ~ don't believe
that supervisors would have been asked for
II 1t had not been for the unfounded rehec-
ton upon the manner in which the state
election was conducted in this city. No
falrer election or count was ever held in
this country, and there was no ground for
a breath of suspicion. As to next Tuesdays
election, it will be conducted just as fairly
and honestly as if none, or all the members
of the Republican party were present. We
propose to conduct it honestly under our
oaths, supervisors or no supervisors"
TOO MANY OR TOO FEW.
"There can only be two legally appointed
supervisors. if it is not too late to appoint
them" said another manager, las there is
but one voting precinct. There IS one pre-
Ouly Wu6Te ULe FOU6S dTo 10 10 O6pOS-
tied in four boxes We do not anticipate
any undue interference from the supervis-
ors, aud certainly not from the intelligent
voters. If it should be attempted, it would
lead to their immediate arrest. We expect
to conduct the election fairly, just as much
so r. If no supervisors are about. 1t will
be free ballot for legal voters and fair
count. There will be no S-tC-7 business aud

ct,rnrxvfcor- h,,cinocc "a IL, a
il it is right, then there should have been
supervisors to represent the Labor party
the Prohibition party and the Belva Lock
wood party"
1t was learned at the custom house build
ing yesterday that Judge Pardee has been
adjourning court from Saturday to Satur-
day for several weeks, and it is therefore
expected that the supervisors will be ap-
pointed to-day.
SHERIFF ROMANS STAFF.

It's believed by some that the prohibit
tionists knowing that Georgia is safe for
the democratic ticket anyway, may vote the
national prohibition ticket. who would not
Ieel JuStlneu IN voting against democratic
local candidates, and the prohibition vote
of Chatham county is variously estimated
all the way from % votes to 300.
HOW CHATHAM WILL VOTE.
The following estimate was made yester-
day by a politician who has frequently polled
the county, and he says Cleveland's vote
will be from $500 TO $500, Harrison's 1,500
to ], 200, and that the labor ticket will get
from % to 80 votes and the prohibition can
didates 25. Cleveland's vote in 1884 was
3, IA and Blaines was 1,747. 1t is not
thought that over 25 colored votes will be
cast for Cleveland or more than so white
votes for Harrison. Some of the colored
republicans are claiming Chatham county.
They are depending on the apathy" as
they term it, of the democracy.
Said a gentleman yesterday: 1.-THE people
of Savannah ought 10 take more interest IN
the election, and give Cleveland big ma
jority. He has been the best President
since Jackson's time. There is more interest
than there was four years ago, and the re-
publicans are not in as good shape-they
are out of office. The railroads and bust
ness men ought TO give their employees u
half holiday TO enable them to vote. Cleve-
land is a sure winner and Chatham county
ought to do its share TO make it big. He Is
certain to carry all the doubtful states, and
has an equal chance for Illinois"
CONSOLIDATING THE CLUBS.

sentatives Of the democratic executive com
