REPUBLICAN ACTIVITY.
The Friends OF Capt M j. Doyl
Pushing Him for Congress.

The Friends OF Capt M J. Doyle
Pushing Him for Congress.
There seems TO be even more activity in
republican than democratic circles over
the approaching campaign in this part of
the state. 1t is claimed that Capt NJ. J..
Doyle will have a walkover for the nomina-
ton for congress The delegations from
Chatham, Bulloch, Liberty, Mcintosh and
Ware have already been chosen, and
the Doyle men claim thirteen out of
the fourteen delegates They also claim
the delegations of two each from the coun-
ties of Tattnall, Appling, Wayne, Echols,
Clinch, Emanuel and bingham, making
twenty-seven out Of the forty delegates
which will compose the convention.
The republicans are endeavOring TO have
changes made in the Savannah and Bruins
wick postotfices before the congressional
campaign opens. At the republican county
convention in Ware county last
Saturday a committee, consisting
of Royal J. Phillips. Floyd Snelson and
Evanda W. Brinkins was appointed to
draft resolution in the pOstoffice matters,
and resolution was passed praying Presi-
dent Harrison to make changes in the
Savannah and Bruins wick postofices at
once, and Col A. Z. Buck was designated
to convey the action OF the convention TO
the President.
The Brunswick Times thinks that Capt
Doyle will have opposition from a colored
candidates Of that city, but the Doyle work
ers here say that he will go into the con-
ventiOn with not less than thirty of the
forty delegates, and they express a doubt
as TO whether there will be any opposition
TO his nomination. The Times thus treats
OF the situation:
'In the congressional campaign, as the
IJDDPc has alraadu ofafa1 CO1 7
be opposed by Capt. NJ. j. Doyle Of Chat
ham, as the standard bearer of the Repub-
hcan party
Nv hen the republicans hold their conven-
ton to nominate a candidate for congress-
Doyle is going to have strong opposition,
Notwithstanding the fact that there will be
no other aspirant in the field. Some colored
republicans in Brunswick believe that no
white man should be put up as
the candidate of the Repub-
lican party. They consider such
a state of affairs as all wrong. But the fiat
has gone forth, and both the administration
and Buck have determined that a white
man shall make the race. and that man
shall be Doyle. The latter, to gain the
good will of Brunswickians, declared him
self in favor of a man from Glynn
county. But when a friend of Capt
Doyle's came to Brunswick and inquired
of the white republicans here, the friend
found that there was none eager to enter
the list. Buck and Doyle, who have been
the bitterest foes, are now the best of
friends. They both have shaken hands
across the yawning chasm, and a Harrison
delegation is being fixed up from Georgia
to the next presidential convention.
BUCK and Joseph F. Doyle, son of Capt
Doyle, are now in Washington. The latter
expects his appointment as postmaster at
Savannah i'll a few days, despite the fact
that kilograms have been sent out to the
effect that no change would be made until
next February.
From private sources a Times reporter
was informed yesterday that Joe Doyle
went to Washington in answer to a tele-
gram from Buck TO meet him there. 1t is
the understanding between Buck and Capt.
Doyle that the son of the latter is to receive
the appointment Of postmaster at Savan-
nah previous to the congressional election.
Buck has already informed the republic
ans of Glynn county that Doyle will be the
candidate for congress, and that they must
sunDOrt him
