THE CLUB IN POLITICS.
EALP A DOZEN ORGANIZATIONS
ALREADY AT WORK.

The First aud Fourth Districts Lead
ing in the Municipal CenvAss-The
First District Wants Three Repre-
sentatives in the Council-The Fourth
DISTRICT Has Not Named ANY Num-
Der Yet The Mayorelty Situation.
Municipal politics are getting livelier
every day. The First District Political Club,
! which was reorgsnized few nights ago,
doesn't propose to limit its field of opera
lions to Yamacraw by any means. Its
membership will take in tbe entire First
| district 20 Anderson street. It proposes to
/ put three candidates in the field for alder
men.
THE club, said Secretary Corish, sis not
in the interest Of any mayoralty candidate.
! We have nothing to do with that fight
and won't pledge our support to any one.
WHAT the First district voters want and
| propose to have, IL possible, is representa-
ton in the aldermRnic board. The club
considers the district entitled to three alder
men and these will be nominated and sup
ported by iJ.n
WANTS THREE ALDERMEN.
Secretary Corish is not prepared to say
W. WHO va GO CdLul1hbcS Will DSs lucy
will be selected, be sand, by the club at the
proper time. Mr.. Nj. J. Barretts friends
are talking OF putting him up as one OF the
candidates from the First. He is one Of the
most popular young men in the district and
would have a large following at the polls
Mr.; Barrett is an employe Of the Central
railroad. be has plenty of ability and Is
properly proportional for aldermanic
| hoDors.
The Fourth district has several political
organizations One is known as Tammany,
but 1t has not expressed any choice for
mayor yet or given out Its plans
for the campaign. Another, the
Mayor MoDonough and the reelection of
most Of the present board of aldermen. Still
another is an out and out Harmon
Club and is pushing the alderman's canvass
lively in the Fourth among its friends.
THE MIDDLE DISTRICTS.
The Second and Third districts have not
been heard from on the club question, and
probably will not be. as the voters in those
districts don't seem to care about scrambllng
for representation in the council.
A movement is on foot among Mayor
McDonough's friends to have a mass meet
ing Of all his supporters called some time in
the fall and tender him denomination with
a request that he accept In behalf Of the
great majority Of people who are in accord
WIN MIN III the enforcement OF the Sunday
saloon law.
Alderman Harmon's friends soy they
don't need any mass meeting for nominating
purposes. The Harmon Club has gquarely
announced him as q candidate for the
mayoralty and will leave the selection Of
the aldermanic ticket to the district Har-
mon clubs. Some of the present board will
be on II and some evill not.
COUNTY POLITICS.
In county politics the latest is that DR..
Falligant's friends will make an effort 20
seud him to the legislature as
one OF ChathRm's representatives. He
would probably accept the nomination
If it were rendered to him. DR.. Falligant's
record as az alderman is ample evidence
that in him Chatham would have a legslat-
i've representative who would speak as he
felt on all occssio-s
Thomas s. Morgan, Jr,, Esq, has also
been spoken Of as q candidate for the legis-
lature, but it 10 hardly probable he will run
He is building up a law practice and doesn't
feel like giving it up to enter politics just
