FIGHT FOR THE THEATER
THE PLANS FOR THE CAPTURE OF
THE MASS MEETING LAID.

Sunday q Day Of Hard SkirmishinG
Among the Politicians--The Hill Heel
ers Ordered in Line in Front Of the
Theater Early to Hold the Cleveland
Men in Check-Some of the Men
Likely to Be on the Hill Ticset-Mr.
duBlguou Says He Is Not One of
Them.
The Politicians Of the Democratic Cam
paign Club, the Hill Club, and the First
and Fourth district clubs were hard at work
yesterday laying their plans for to-night's
mass meeting. To-day some great election
eering will be done. All that now remains
to be done to give Savannah the liveliest
and most exciting political meeting it has
had in years is the opening of the theater
doors tonight.
Both factions are going to strain every
point to run the meeting, and the contest
for supremacy will be well worth Witness
ing. The members of the campaign club
are expressing confidence in electing the
ticket selected Saturday night, which was
published In Yesterdays MoRSING NEWS,
and the HiIlites are equally positive that the
campaign clubs ticket won't be in it,"
THE HEELERs PICKED.
The supporters Of Hill are undoubtedly
working hard to accomplish their object
Yesterday committees visited the Fort.
Yamacraw and Frogtown and made per-
sonal calls on every voter favooable to Hill
and urged them to attend to the meeting.
They are wanted on hand early and are ex-
pected to vote often and use their lungs,
feet and hands to make as much noise as
possible. The Hill men are boldly asserting
that they will have from 1000 TO 800 men
at the Jheater two hours before the doors
open and nobody having anti-Hill ten
denotes will be allowed to get inside until
| after they have captured the parquet and
dress circle.
THE HILL TICKET.
On the ticket which will be presented by
the Hillites are we'll known business and
professional men who have announced
| themselves for the New York senator. and
| whether instructed or not, will vote for
delegates favorable to him if sent to the
state convention.
Among those mentioned in connection
with the ticket are Capt. John Flannery,
Port-warden, John Power, Alderman w. P.
Bailey, Alderman Mcclure, B. A. Dem
mark, Esq, Gazaway Hartridge. w. H.
Baker, p. J. O'Connor, Esq. William
Kehoe.
There seems to be a misunderstanding or
an error about Mr.. duBignon's position in
| the situation. The Hill men have been
| claiming that he would head their ticket,
but evidently they have been mistaken.
It was learned from a reliable source yes
terday, that Mr. duBignou Is not on either
| ticket. Both the campaign club and the
| Hill Club requested him to allow the use OF
his name. but he declined to go as adelegate
| for either faction.
| The executive committee OF the Demo-
cratic Campaign Club meets at the Office of
| the chairman, Mr.. D. l. MacIntyre, at 1l6
Bay street, this morning at 10 o'clock to
make final arrangements for the battle to-
night. The workers will be instructed to
get move on them and see that all the
members OF the club get out to the meeting
Tonight. Just who will head the forces OF
the Democratic Campaign Club at the meet
| ing tonight has not been announced.
