Third Parties.
To-day, being election day, it Is safe to
say that business generally will be to a
large degree neglected. as interest in the
contest is becoming quite lively. There Is
no trouble anticipated, and from all indi-
cations the election in Savannah will be a
very quiet one, though it is expected that
full vote will be cast. Every citizen entitled
to vote has been urged not to neglect this
duty, so that there can be no doubt about
the presidential electors and Congressman
Lester receiving a majority of the votes.
AS is usual on such occasions, the saloons
will be closed as precautionary measure
against the enthusiasm Of some voters TAX
ing too high tension and thus causing
trouble The polls will open at o'clock a.
IN. and close at 6 p. m. The boxes will be
at the court house and will be arranged as
follows:

of those whom he has designated to serve as
supervisors of election to-day. He ap-
points only democrats and Peoples party
men. The appointees have all been sworn

| il is thought that there will be no cause for

| Their instructions are to carry out the re-
| Quirements of the act Of congress approved
| Feb. IS, 1872 no more and no less.
This act provides that supervisors must
| take such positions on the day of election,
| whether before or behind the ballot-boxes,
as will, in their Judgment, best enable them
| to see each person Offering himself to vote,
aud as will best conduce TO their scrutiniz-
| ing the manner in which the voting is be-
ing conducted.
At the closing Of the polls each supervisor
is required to place himself IN such position
as to carefully look after the count of the
ballots.
Following are the supervisors:
| Democrats-Josiah L. Warren, Thomas
S. Morgan, Jr., Dempsey Griffin, L. III

office he has honorably filed so many years
The meeting was large one. Lieut. r.

Wheaton's resignation Lieut.. J. R. Saussy
moved that pending its acceptance a COM

and urge its withdrawal. In offer
ing the resolution Lieut.. Saussy re-
ferred to the long aud honorable
service Capt. Wheaton has rendered the
command, the regret that the members feel
in contemplating his retirement and the loss
they would sustain. The sentiment OF the
company was voiced by Lieut.. Saussy.
The resolution was unanimously passed and
the following committee was appointed
Lieut. j. r. Saussy, Sergt. Theus. Sergt.
