Noisy One.

The Wlnd I'D hal1y OF 1nolr OauP14k =
a Noisy One.
The republican rally at the corner Of
East Broad and South Broad streets last
night was not grand success, though il
was bowling one. The faithful present
exercised their lungs 10 their hearts con.
tent. When Capt Doyle assembled the
stand, shortly before s o'clock, the
crowd in the neighborhood numbered
about 400. OF whom perhaps half were
colored voters, there being large number
of women and children in the crowd and
quite a sprinkling OF white men. Most OF
tue white men were present out OF curiosity,
but some few we're evidently in sympathy
with the meeting.
The brass band struck up tune and the
crowd cheer, and the meeting began.
On the platform with Capt. Doyle were
James Whiteman, r. W. White, r. 4.
Dow, Peter Donslan, L. B. Toorner and W.
H. Matthews. White republicans were
chiefly conspicuous by their absence, but
spirited appeals were made by the cOlored
speakers to the Irish democrats present,
few Of whom were on the outskirts, to sup
port the republican nominee.
James e. Whiteman WAS master Of cere-
monies, and led off with a stirring appeal to
the voters to turn out and vote for Capt.
Doyle to-day. He introduced Capt. Doyle.
who was received with wild yells.
Capt. Doyle began his speech with, MY
fellow-citizens and fellow-countrymen: |
come before you tonight not as an unknown
candidate, not as one who has no &C
quaintance with this people, but as one who
has been closely identified with the interests
Of Savannah for forty-one years"
Capt. Doyle made some explanations of
why he was in the race for congress. He
said TINT hon ha hanan his n xroa or. ba
dictatorship OF the port here some time
ago a combination of democrats and repub
licaDs was formed to blacken his character,
who by their misrepresentation succeeded
in defeating him for the position.
Il went to Washington" he said, with
the proofs of my character in my possession,
and when l left there | had the confidence
Of President Harrison and every member Of
his cabinet"
Capt. Doyle said the party had been COM
PEELED to recognize him, and he had been
given the postmastership of Savannah He
b 'rangued the voters in tifteen-minutes
speech, which was very spirited, but rather
rambling. He dwelt somewhat upon the
beauties Of protection, and concluded by
dramatically displaying one of the bill
posters, which the republicans have been
sticking up over town, and excIaiming,
"bshod the United States congress, and
MaJ. William mckinney pleading Tor pro-
lection. the greatest living Irishman on
earth to-day. Here is Mckinley, but where
is Lester"
Capt Doyle sat down amidst chorus of
yells. and Whiteman introduced Peter
Donelan. who made a rafting speech.
Speeches were made by Matthews, White,
Dow, and several others.
The oolored speakers laid great emphasis
upon the duty of the Irish voters to support
Doyle, and appeals were made to the white
men in the crowd to vote for the republican
nominee.
White said the negroes had given Chatham
county Irish sheriff for sixteen years, an
Irish ordinary, and at the last city election
they had enabled the Irish and Germans to
put in German mayor, and he appealed to
the Irish voters TO help the negroes this time
and they would give them an Irish Con-
gresham.
The meeting lasted until after 10 o'clock.
