The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-01-13
To the People and the Democratic
Party of Savannah.

On the evening of Dec. last, at the in
stance of the Young Men's Democratic
Club, a conference was had between a dele
cation from that club and delegations from
six other political clubs of this city in
reference TO the approaching municipal
election.
Further conference was invited for Jan.
4, succeeding, and on the evening of tina t
day, delegations representing nine demo
cratic clubs Of the city assembled at the
arsenal of the Savannah Volunteer Guards
Cordial admission TO said convention was
extended to the delegation OF every club
present.
These clubs represented by actual count
membership of 3, 1853, and embraced very
large proportion Of the legal voters of the
city. Their ranks were open to every dem
ocrat.
After a prolonged but most earnest and
orderly asssmblage, municipal ticket was
selected, and the names OF the following
gentlemen we're presented to the democratic
voters Of Savannah: For mayor, Da lei
r. Thomas; for aldermen, Herman Myers,
George N. Nichols George j. Mills, Geo. S.
Haines, j. J. McDonough, w. F. Reid, Z. A.
Jones, George j. Baldwin, L. j. O'OOnnor,
L. A. Fslligant, T, x. Douglass, Elton A
Smith. Each aud everyone of the gen
tlemen so selected accepted the nomination,
with the exception Of Mr.. George S. Haines,
who found il impossible to serve the city
longer in an aldermanic capacity. In con
sequence of his declination a further con-
ference of the delegations from said clubs
was called and assembled ON the evening
of Friday, Jan II, 1889. At said meeting
Mr.. William G. Cam was duly selected as
an alderman in the place of Mr.. Haines,
and a complete municpal ticket was pre-
sented to the people of Savannah.
The names thus chosen were not in every
instance the preference of each one Of
those who made the selections. Personal
likes and dislikes were generously laid
aside, and the result was the outcome Of
democratic harmony, and Of patriotic pur-
pose. This ticket, in its totality, has met
the cordial appreciation of the great mass
Of Democrat, voters. 1t has received the
hearty Endorsement of the clubs, and has
strengthened and unified upon its own
merits
1t is the only ticket before the people
which represents the Democratic party. 1t
has the prestige of democratic organization.
1t enjoys the Inherent power Of preliminary
party action, and is upheld by the strong
influence Of party usage. 1t shows the i'm
primatur of democratic nomination. No
other ticket offered to the people possesses
a similar sanction.
The cubs that have made up and Endorsed
UulS IlCk6U INVOKE Tue iO18lbY OF every
democrat, and bespeak the cooperation Of
every c nservative citizen. Ia the interest
of the party, OF political harmony, aud OF
good government, they urge its hearty and
unanimous support.
