TO NAME ITS CHOICE.

The Tammany Club VIII Indorse
County Candidates Tonight.
The Tammany Club will meet tonight at
Turner hall for the purpose of indorsing
their fayorites for county offices. Dillon
and Ryals are understood to be the favor
ties OF the club, and they will likely receive
hearty Endorsement. Every member of the
club will be bound to abide by its action
as the majority plan rules the organization.
It's poor day now that doesn't bring up
some new trick in politics. The following
circular was being distributed throughout
the county yesterday by friends of Treasurer
Russell:
HOW CAN THE POOR MAN VOTE FOR MAI. G. N.
RYALsf
Do the poor people remember that G. NJ.
Ryals, who is now a candidate for county treas
urer. was the author OF and worked hard to pass
the bill known as the "oyster law" thereby
depriving thousands of poor colored people
earning a living.
Ryals also advocated the mo fence" law. By
this law the cows, hogs aud other cattle would
have to be fenced. while the lands of the rich
could have remained unfenced and open; a law
good for the rich, bad for the poor. This is
what Ryals wanted. Canyon vote for him?
Ryals don't want your cattle to eat the grass
in the wild woods and he is TO blame for 1t that
you can't gather any more oysters.
The circular was headed by cut repre-
sentlng very fat pig in the center, with
lean COW on one side and a sorry-looking
donkey on the other.
The tale that was being told last night
was that Mr.. Russell sent out a negro with
5000 of these circulars yesterday and that
friend of Maj. Ryals met him outside of
town and gave him a drink of whisky for
the lot, saying he wanted them for soap
wrappers. The circulars, therefore, were
not received by those for whom they were
intended.
The circular business seems to be in the
nature Of a boomerang anyhow. The cir
cular that was sent out by the Labor
Union and Recorder, which was published
| in yesterdays MORNING NEWS, attacking
Mayor AcDonough because no negroes were
asked to sign the call for the meeting last
night and because none Of the colored ply
| sicians were invited 30 the recent consulta-
| tion Of physicians in the city exchange, has
caused much unfavorable comment,
While Alderman Harmon is not held re-
| sponsible for the circular, the Labor Union
| and Recorder, which issued the circular,
has been very loud in his support for some
| time, and the result of the circular will OF
course be to excite prejudice among the
white people.
IF any friends of Alderman Harmon or
DR.. Falligant want to take exceptions to
the appointment Of managers of registra-
tion and elections" said a member of the
board which made the appointments last
night, '1et them specify those of the mana
gers appointed who they consider unfit for
the position or are disqualified under the
law, and let them make their charges to
the board. That will be a good way to
settle this thing"
The latest candidate for city sheriff Is
Mr.. p. l.. Constantine. Mr.. Constantine
was. for several years, deputy sheriff under
the late Sheriff Goodwin. IL all the cans
didates for city sheriff are fortunate enough
to get one vote each there will be Just
enough to go around, as there are already
nearly as many candidates for the position
as there are aldermen,
