MAKING ALDERMEN ON PAPER.
The First and second Districts Out
With Candidates.


Five new candidates for aldermanic
donors are in the field At the meeting Of
the First and Second districts last night at
the hall over Minis drug store, at Bryan
and West Broad streets. James Mcguire,
w. J. O'Brien and ID. Entelman were
nominated from the First district, and
George W. Parrish and Walter s. King
from the Second district The two dis
tricts acted independently.
About I25 voters gathered in the hall at s
o'clock. Secretary j. j. Corish, OF the
First District Political Club, called the meet
ing to order in the absence of the president.
Charles E. Sanbsrg was elected chairman.
IL was very evident that the voters of the
First district were largely in tine majority,
and though the meeting had been adver-
tised for the First and Second districts. the
First district men declared that it was done
without authority, and that the meeting TO
he held was that of the First District Polit-
ical club. The Second district men were
anxious that both districts should act to-
gather but the First district men would not
agree TO this, and it was decided to hold the
MEETINGS separately.
Chairman Sanberg stated that the bust
moss of the meeting was TO nominate repre-
xentatives from the First district in the
next board of aldermen. Nominations were
proceeded to at once.
Magistrate Frank McDerm oft nominated
James Mcguire. Ihe nomlna ton received
several seconds.
<. G. Hartigan nominated William
O'Brien, which was seconded.
The chairman put the nominations and
Mr.. Mcguire was the unanimous choice of
1he meeting, and his nomination was made
with laundering AYE" There were no
'noes.n
Mr. O'Brien's name was next put, and was
~ l. e 4
noes.
Mcguire was declared to be the nominee
Of the district.
Mr.. McDermott declared that it was the
intention of the meeting to nominate both
mon. aud that they wanted two representa-
tiyes on the board. This brought on quite
discussion. 1t was asserted that the first
district was the largest, or next to the larg-
est district, in the city, and is entitled to its
full quota of representation on the board,
which is at least oue-fourth of the number
of aldermen, or three representatives.
1.-The first wants three men on the next
board!' exclaimed one voter.
1.-THE third had nine on the last board,n
chimed in another.
A resolution declaring that it was the
sense Of the meeting that the First district
is entitled to three representatives was
passed.
There was some discussion as to whether
Mr.. O'Brien had been nominated by the
meeting or not. The chairman decided
that he had not been nominated but that
Mcguire had. Nominations were declared
in order, and the names of w. |. O'Brien,
]. F. Tietjen and D. Entelman were placed
before the meeting. OBrien's name was
put first and he was nominated without OPP
position.
On the vote upon the name of Mr.. Tiet-
ien the ayes and noes were about equal A
show of hands showed that Teitjen was de-
feated.
When Mr.. Entelman's name was put the
ayes were in the majority, but the noes
called for division. A show of hands re-
suited in Entelman's nomination.
There was some further discussion upon
the advisability of putting three candidates
IN the field from the First districs. 1t evil
IDENTIFY had not been the intention of some Of
the leaders to put more than one man in
nomination, or two at most. The crowd
was in humor to nominate, hover, ard
would willingly have nominated the whole
board if such proceeding had been ad-
vocate1.
The following resolution was presented by
Mr.. McDermott, and was passed unani-
mously:
Resolved, That We the voters of the First dis
trict, in mass meeting assembled, indorse Hon.
John Schwarz for reelection to the mayoralty
of the city of Savannah.
A committee of five was appointed to
notify the nominees of their nomination
Immediately and report their decision to the
meeting. The committee was Chas.
Lamotte, Frank McDermott, E. W. O'Con-
nor, Jno. E. Mcclure and j. NJ. McEne-
nearny.
A recess of Is minutes was taken until the
return Of the committee On its return
Chairman Lamotte reported that he had seen
all the nominees, and that they had all
accepted
Mr.. Mcclure moved that a committee of
ten be appointed to wait on the voters of
the First district and see that they regis
tered for the election. which was passed
The chairman said he would appoint the
committee at his leisure.
Ihs First district was not inclined to
affiliate with the Second, nor to abide by
any action the latter might take at its
meeting. 1t was asserted that the Second
district did not have out enough men to
hold meeting and the Second district
men were called upon to hold up
snsir hands. Eleven hands were
neid up. Notwithstanding the smallness Of
tnelr numbers the Second district decided
70 nod meeting anyway, and the mem
oers OF the First were requested to retire to
the back Of the hall. Chairman Sanberg
ana Secretary Corish were requested to
