counties OF the district might go third party
and Col. Lester still be elected, but it will
be a very bad thing to allow the third
party people TO make such a showing. Of
strength. 1t will cause trouble IN the
district for long time to come.
Savannah democrats want to bestir them
selves, have a number OF good men to put
in the field when called upon and preserve q
strong organization at home that will be in
position to do effective work both in and
out Of the city.
Savannah is regarded as a tower of
strength by the democrats Of the district
and she must maintain her position as
such.n
MIR. Harrington does not exsggerate the
situation. A gentleman who has Just re-
turned to the city from visit TO Bcriyen
county said yesterday that the spirit of
politics is rampant in Scriven. It is about
all the partisans can do to restrain their
temper. The third party people are very
strong, and 1t is not unlikely may carry the
county.
Gentlemen who have recently visited
Statesboro report that a man who wants
to argue politics there must be prepared for
a knock down and drag out
about three times day. The people
have become 80 worked up on the questions
Of third party, free silver and and-free
silver, that they are perfectly rabid, and
stranger who attempts to argue on these
Cuestsons ia liable to get hand in his collar
almost before he knows what he is talking
about. This may be libel on citizens of
Stetesboro. but 1t is vouched for by respon-
sible parties.
Mr.. D. R. Peoples of Peoples, s. c.,
well known planter of Hampton county
was 10 the city yesterday. Mr.. Peoples
says the situation In South Carolina Is fully
as bad as it Is represented to be. In fact
the newspaper reports hardly do justice to
it. The people are gone mad on the subject
Of Tillman and aRti- Tillman, aud there Is
danger of a serious clash between the parti-
sans of Gov. Tillman and ex-Gov
sheppard every day. Mr.. Pee
pies says that, very much to
his regret, the TillmRnites have
an undoubted majority, though he thinks
| they have lost some Of their strength re-
Gently.
The efforts of Hon. Leroy F. Youmans OF
Columbia 70 stem the wave OF political
madness have had some effect, but as In
| majority Of instances the Tlllman people
have declined to give him hearing, he has
not made a. many converts as he might
have done.
"Tillman is followed by all the poor peo-
pie, the unfortunate aud the debtor Glass"
| said Mr.. Peoples. "They regard him as the
| Moses who is to lead them out of the wilder
| ness Of debt and misfortune, and believe
implicitly every utteranoe he makes. It is
very unfortunate, but there seems 10 be no
help for it at present. The straiShtouts will
do their utmost, however"
From all reports Georgia is fortunate that
1t has only the third party to contend with
instead OF Tillmsnism.

His First Fee,

The Rev DR.. Blank, now q prominent
pastor OF prominent church, had his first
charge ina country district, and he tells
this story, says the Detroit Free Press:
The first couple l married. he says,
'came tothe house where l boarded and
had my Study, for was a bachelor then,
and they were genuine specimens of the
rustic lover-he tall and gawgy, she awk-
ward, but pink checked and pretty, as
rustic beauty goes. They came in a wagon,
and it did not take long to perform the
ceremony. After it was over 1 thought it
my duty to kiss the bride, and bent forward
to do so, when the groom laid his hand on
my arm:
naturedly I'm tend to that part of IL my
self > and he proceeded to do so vigorously.
~ smiled and offered no argument, and
as theystar ted out followed them to the
font door. There the groom invited me to
come out to the wagon, where he had some-
thing for me. He helped the bride in, got
in himself beside her on the board seat, aud
reaching down behind him he lifted out O
sack OF potatoes and handed them over to
me. thanked him and took them as my
fee, and was about to tell him good-by when
the groom, proudly looking at the girl and
at me, said
"'Ain't she beauty, misterF
avery handsome, admitted.
"'Nothin' purifier in the country, is thereF
and he chuoked her under the chin.
"'Not that l have seen, I'm sure
assented cordially,
"'Air you marriedr he asked. quite
kindly | thought.
"Tm sorry to say I'm not confessed.
"'Ain't got no wife 2
"'No.'
"'Nothin' like this in the house p and
again he chucked the blushing bride under
the chin.
"'No, Pm all alone
81 guess there must have been a touch Of
sadness or regret in my voice. for the
groom's face took on the grace Of sympathy.
"'Look here. mister, ne said, I'll tell you
what I'll do. II youth give me back them
taters and half a dollar 70 boot you can kiss
the bride
''Of course couldn't be so ungsllant as
to refuse the offer, IL indeed 1t would have
been safe TO have done so, and handing
over the potatoes aud the only half dollar
had gracefully saluted the bride aud sent
them both on their way with my blessing"

THE CONVENTION DELEaATEs.
The Names to Be offered the District
Primaries.

Primaries.
at q meeting OF the representatives Of
the various districts held yesterday after
noon a ticket was prepared for delegates TO
the three approaching conventions, to be
offered TO the voters as a suggestion at the
primary Monday.
The meeting was small one, but all the
districts were represented, and it was not
controlled by any particular faction or
clique. The ticket is as follows
To Che sGubernatorial Conveniently.
w. Fraser, T. D. Rockwell w. l. O'Brien,
P. A. Stovall, q. W. Owens, W. F. Reid.
To the Congressional Convention-Thomas
Bowden. John Jucnter, J. B, Withers, M.
w. Dixon, s. B. Adams, d. L. Christian.
To the Senatorial Convention-Frank
McDermott, W. Barnett, William Kehoe,
J. B. Newton, Thomas Screven, Luke Car
son.
An effort was made to divide the dele
gates TO the three conventions among all the
districts, sighting none, and without favor
ing any class or faction.
1t will be noticed that the names of ell
three OF the candidates for solicitor general
are upon the list of gubernatorial delegates.
This puts the three candidates upon an
equal footing and removes all chance of
complaints upon the part OF their friends.
The gubernatorial convention will be spleu-
did oanvassing ground, and the candidates
for the solicitor generalship can begin to
get in their work thus early.
No exception can be taken to any Of the
delegations, as they are all composed of
stanch democrats. The ticket IL only In
the nature Of a suggestion, however, and
any democrat. or any body of democrats,
has the privilege of preparing an entirely
different ticket il he or they should see fit.
The delegates named for the senatorial
convention will, it is understood, support
Col. W. w. Gordon for the position If
Col. Gordon declines, further, to allow the
use Of Of his name, it will devolve upon the
delegates to select q Candidate. In
case any other democrat should decide
to make the race from Chatham he or his
friendswould name a list Of delegates favor
able to his candidacy and announce them
to be voted upon at the primary.
There are just five days more now before
the primary in which 10 talk politics and
make bets and predictions as to the result.

was prior TO the announcement Of this after
noon. To these gentlemen / said Il cannot,
my duty is at home My friends know me
and know my jealous nature. Could l &C
cept, would say, yes. Then L would
sound the buGle Of rally from the court
house 10 Pooler, no. Ny business will not
permit Of it. and must decline"
Mr. Beckwitn Is widely known and popu-
lar with all classes His friends are urging
him to enter the race, IL not for senator,
then for representative, but 30 far he has
declined TO be candidate.
It does not seem to have occurred to the
politicians and voters generally that the
time and date of the senatorial convention
has not yet been fixed. The district sens-
torial committee has not yet held a meet
ing, and, Furthermore, no one appears 70
know who the members of this committee
are. Inquiry was made of a number OF To-
cal politicians yesterday with view Of as
certaining who is the chairman of the COM
mittee and who Is the member from
Chatham.
p, J. O'Connor Esq, was called upon
among others. Mr.. O'Connor attended the
last senatorial convention which nominated
Hon. P. w. Williams of Guyton, but he
could not remember who was named as the
member of the committee from Chatham.
It might be either Merritt w. Dixon, or
Chpts h0uTy hOSuOTn, OF .. ID. AuAbs
Esq, or himself, all OF whom were present.
A search through the files of the MORN
ING NEWS for August and September. 1890,
revealed the fact that the convention was
held at Guyton Sept. TO- NJ. W.
Dixon was chairman of the then existing
committee.
The new committee selected was COM
posed Of Maj. William Lstford of Bryan,
Prot. A. E Byrd Of Efingham, and P. J.,
O'Connor, Esq, of Chatham. There is no
account of any organization OF the COM
mittee, It, is probable, however, that
Maj. Letford was selected as chairman, as
he Is the senior member Of the committee
and as his name appears first upon the list.
There Is plenty OF time, however, as the
democrats of the district have about three
months yet in which to act. 1T is we'll TO
remind the committeeman, however, Of the
responsible position which they occupy
that there may Sc no dereliction of duty
through oversight on their part.

Wstson's Followers to Have a Meet

Several times announcements have been
made that third party meeting would be
held In Chatham county, but for some un-
known and unexplained reason the meeting
never materialized. A meeting OF the adj
vocates of the doctrines of the new political
faith has been positively called for Wednes-
day, July q, and ID is said it will be go
this time.
IL is impossible to estimate the number of
adherents the third party has in Chatham,
because they keep their own counsel and
don't talk to those not In sympathy with
them. 1t is safe to say, though, that they
are few and far between, and will make q
very poor show at the rally next week.
