LAST NIGHTS MEETINGS.
The political pot boiled all OF yesterday
and most of last night Mayor Schwarz's
friends worked hard, holding many eau
cuses during the day, and winding up with
a meeting last night at Masonic temple,
Thomas Keenan, presided and A. n
Mauncy acted as secretary. On the stage we're
Mayor Schwarz, Aldermen Faligant, Car
son, Harmon and Reid, Candidates Mcclure,
O'Brien and Never, and Cant Henry
Blum. Mayor Schwarz made brief speech
in which he told of the agreement OF the old
board to stand by him, and then went into
a resume of his work as chief executive
Candidates Mcclure, O'Brien and Never.
and Aldermen Reid and Carson also spoke
Capt. Blum urged the supporters Of Mayor
Schwarz to work hard to-day, and he was
satisfied they could beat the opposition by
at least 800 votes. A. N. Manucy followed
him on the same line, except that he was a
little NOSE expressive in his language about
the "dishonorable action Of some of the
present board" as be put it,
ALDERMAN FALLIGANT's SPEECH.
Alderman Faligant made the speech Of
the evening, however. He went into a
fowery peroration of how he had watched
with pride for f1fty-four years the growth of
Savannah. From that he switched off to
his career in council, and told of the great
questions which had been settled by the
present board, and how real aud personal
property had been made to share equal our
dens OF taxation. He then told how he had
settled the ground rentquestion, and placed
the city in position to have proper drain-
age without burdening the people He
closed his remarks as follows: "No man
ever sat in that Office who devoted himself
more assiduously to his duties
than John Schwarz. He has been
in no ring, no job, nor anything
that enriched his pocket at the expense of
his fellow citizens. | believed years ago
that he was honest man. In my two wears
service with him am still of that opinion.
As for myself, my record Is before YOU.
The part have taken is one in which
may say that did my duty to you fear
lessly and conscientiously, and do not fear
your verdict"
Alderman McDonough's friends had
short meeting in Armory hall to arrange
the final details for to-day's work at the
polls. Those in attendance claimed to be
very confident of winning the fight. and
said they did not fear the verdict of the
people.
THE REGISTRATION TALK.
All sorts of campaign rumors were floating
about town yesterday. One had it that the
registration books had been tempered with.
aud that names had been added on Sunday.
Col. Peter Reilly, chairman of the board,
was seen last night, and denounced the
story as false in every particular. 'It is
the most absurd thing ever started, he
said. "How could anyone add names to the
list Sunday when they had been turned
over TO the printers Saturday night. 1t is
malicious statement without vestige of
truth. The registration has been a most
fair and impartial cne.n
The total registration is something over
$500. little over 500 of which are said TO
be colored. Both sides were figuring out
their possible supporters from the list
yesterday. and each seems to be equally
confident and claim a majority on the
printed list.
M'DoNoUGH TO sCHwARz
Alderman McDonough made the following
statement to a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday in reply to Mayor Schwarz's
claim of a breach of faith: "The breach OF
faith was entirely with Mayor Schwartz
friends l had no idea of standing for the
mayoralty until | was satisfied that his
friends intended to defeat me and
my friends. I have abundant proof
of this fact. In consenting TO run on Mayor
Schwarzs ticket myself and other gentle.
men were assured of the fullest support OF
Mayor SchwarZ and his friends, Whatever
breach of faith there is in the whole affair
comes from the other side, as we'll know and
tne public knows also that Mayor
Schwarz's political allies went to work tc
use every means for my defeat in order to
bring about change in the complexion OF
the board OF aldermen, the contamination
earnestly wished for and desired by certain
prominent politicians who are now actively
managing. his campaign. This con
dltion OF affairs applies with equa
force to the Gases of Alderman Cam and
Bailey. Numerous friends brought me
this Information. and the whole matter
eliminated in putting in the field the full
municipal tichet. which / have the honor 10
head.
II was 10th to allow the use of nv name
as candidate for mayor, and only did SC
at the earnest pleading of q large number
OF citizens OF all Glasses. who urged 1t upon
me as duty, in view of the present situa-
ton of municipal politics"
ALDERMEN cANN AND BAILEY.
Aldermen Cam and Bailey said that the
statement made by Mayor Schwarz thai
they had told him that they went into the
McDonough meeting for self-preservatior
was absolutely without foundation. They
said they met Mayor Schwarz Sunday and
told him their exact position in the matter
and ne appeared satisfied and replied
Gentlemen, as far as you are concerned
there Will be no fight made upon you.
When they read the new administra.
ton ticket in yesterdays MORNING NEWS
they found that their names had
been dropped. They called on the mayor.
and he said that he had done everything in
his power to prevent this action, and told
