The First District.

Democrats of the First congressional dis.
trict have duty to perform to-day which
they cannot afford to neglect. IL is the duty
of every one of them to go to the polls and
cast ballot for Col. Lester for congress.
While there is no ground for thinking that
he will not be elected. he ought to be given
a rousing majority, not only as an indica-
ton of the appreciation of his work in the
present congress, but also to make it impos-
sible for his opponent to find grounds upon
which to base a contest for his seat.
1t is, no doubt, the policy of the republi-
can leaders TO have southern republican
candidates make contests. if the republi-
cans should secure majority of the next
House. in order to increase that majority,
and if there is any ground upon which
contest can be based, Col. Testers opponent
will, in all probability, begin a contest. In
order that there may be no chance for any
thing of that kind the democrats not only of
this county, but also of every other county
of the district, should vote to-day, and give
a little of their time to the work of getting
their friends to vote.
Col Lester has made an excellent repre-
sentative. In the short time he has been in
Washington he has done splendid service
for his district. his successful efforts in be-
vote of every citizen of Savannah, ire
spective of party. And he mas not neg
lected other rivers and harbors of the
district. Let us give him big majority
to-day that will encourage him in his work.

The findings of the committee who
overhauled the towns cash account,

are not deemed conclusive by some
people. Hence, there has been a little
criticism. but not enough, it is pre-
