Said gentleman from Bryan county last
night: Bryan county has never had any
thing Of the kind ever offered to It before by
Chatham, and now that 1t has been promised
the senator it has set Us all wild. and we
can't agree among ourselves Both OF our
candidates and our delegates all hurried OF

Bryan democrats who are not candidates

county will be at Guyton at the conven-

A RAID ON SAVANNAH.
The fractional fight in Bryan county over
IT'S choice for state senator was certainly
transferred TO Chatham county last night.
The train coming IN over the Central
brought down the entire delegation from
Bryan county and Messrs. p. W. Williams
and j. II. Heery, the senatorial candidates,
besides quite a number of the friends
of the two opposing candidates.
Each faction talked freely on the subject to
a MORNING NEWS reporter last night, aud
a gentleman who saw the crowd that came
down Bryan street humorously remarked
that a telegram ought 30 be sent
to bingham for their delegates TO come
down 20 Savannah, as il would be much
easier to get the convention here together,
as all but the Etingham delegates are on
the ground
