The Young Mems Democratic Club will

10 stimulate the mem beers to register, so that
they may vote at the coming election A
rumor was adoat yesterday that President
Cam will resign the presidency.
The Citizens Club, at its meeting last
night. settled upon the Schwarz ticket for
aldermen, and, with Maj. Schwarz at the
head for mayor, it has been put out as the
"citizens' ticket"
The Schwarz men were busy all day feel
ing the ground for an aldermanic ticket
They were endeavoring as far MS
possible to learn what aldermanic
candidates on the Thomas ticket have
the elements of popularity and as the
county election had lett some unhealed
spots on the body polite, they seemed in

friends on the ticket as the ones that could
be automatically left off tho schwarz
ticket. Trey are depending, too, on avail
ing themselves Of some disappointment
among the friends of W. p. Bailey because
be was not placed on the Thomas alder
manic ticket. Mr.. Bailey has been rendered
representation on the Schwarz ticket.
THE sCHwARz TICKET.
1t was not expected that the ticket would
be made up before to-day, but it was COM
pIeted last night, after securing the consent
of the six gentlemen who have been placed
on the ticket in place Of George n. Nichols,
?. j. O'Connor, f. X. Douglass, George J.
Mills, George s. Haines and George j.
Baldwin The following is the Schwarz
aldermanc ticket, the first named six of
which are also on the Thomas ticket:

+. A. Jones, DR.. L. A. Falhgant,

W. p Bailey, II. +. Wiliink
1t was pretty generally understood yester-
day that Messrs. OConnor, Baldwin and
Douglass would be left of. and there was
good deal of talk OF leaving w. f. Reid Off
on account of his vigorous advocacy of Mr..
OCounor for ordinary, but other counsels
prevailed. Having dropped Mr.. Baldwin,

road clubs, it was not felt safe to strike at
Mr.. Reid. and so he was put on the ticket.
The Chatham club will meet tonight,
and it will be interesting to know what ac-
ton the club will now take, with its preSi-
dent on both the Thomas and SchWarz
ticket.
HOW THE SCHWARz TICKET WAS MADE.
S. L. Lazaron, one of Mai. Schwarz
leGtenaDts, said yesterday that he was
not inclined to think that any mass
meeting is necessary 70 place MAJ Schwarz
in nomination. He says the major is al
ready s. candidate, as much 50 as Mr..
Thomas, and the active canvass would fol-
low as soon as the aldermanio ticket is
settled upon.
Contrary to the general expectation of
many of Mai Schw IRIS friends he has
made no published denial Of tho expecta-
tons of the colored voters for representa-
ton on the police force if they vote solidly
with him, but one of his closest advisers
says that no such arrangement has been
made and he claims that Maj. Schwarz is
too good democrat for that. If thai hope
is removed from the minds of the colored
voters, his support in that direction will
fall off with a dull thud.
Although the Schwarz leaders have taken
three days To make up their ticket taking
half of it from the regular democratic
4
much weaker by comparison. It was made
up under difficulties, principally that it was
impossible to get twelve representative men
who would permit the use of their names on
a ticket with Mai Schwarz to 20 into a
hopeless campaign, and il is said that at
one time it was seriously thought Of taking
the entire aldermanlc ticket, instead of
half of it.
THE LIQUOR DEALERS POSITION.
There was no quorum of the liquor dealers
at their meeting at Metropolitan hall last
night. The meeting Of the Citizens Club,
which made up the Schwarz aldermanic
ticket, kept q great many of the German
saloon keepers away, and no action was
taken by the Liquor Dealers Association.
1t is understood that another meeting viii
be called for Thursday or Friday night. 1t
is believed that the Schwsrz men will try 10
capture the meeting and get the association
committed to Mai. SchwarZ's candidacy.
If this is attempted q lively time is antici-
pated and disruption of the association is
within the bounds of probability.
A gentleman well posted in the politics of
Savannah, said laso night, after looking
over the Schwarz ticket, that it Is pro-
nouncedly weaker than the democratic
ticket That the strength OF the Thomas
ticket IS conceded by the Schwarz men in
their appropriation of half Of it, and they
would have shown still better Judgment if
they had appropriated it all, as there is less
fault found with il as a whole than any
aldermanic ticket ever presented to the
people, and that it viii be elected in its en-
tirety, and Thomas along with it.
