THE CROWD CAUGHT ON.

Inn NhOWO CAb0hA ONs
The crowd caught the cue Of Mr.. Manucy's
remarks by this time. and the speaker was
interrupted with applause and cries OF
''Sch warzl Schwarz! We want Schwartz
Mr.. Manucy waved for silence, and re-
marked that he would name the man at the
proper time. This committee" he said,
sis now about 20 retire, and / ask the meet
ing TO demand Of it the. placing at the head
OF the Harmon ticket the man who will
lead US TO success beyond peradventure.
! Honest John Schwarz is that man."
The scene which followed showed con-
ciusively that Maj. SchWarz was q favorite.
Men cheered themselves hoarse, threw hats,
umbrellas and canes in the air without any
thought Of where they would fall. When
they exhausted their wind in yelling they
called for music from the band in the gal
lery, and when the air was flushed the
enthusiasm broke out afresh. Maj. Schwarz
tried to speak, but every time he moved
there was fresh outbreak OF applause, and
it was fully ten minutes before he could get
hearing.
THE MAJOR DECLINES.
Finally be got an opportunity to talk
'GentlemeD, there has never been a time in
my life when felt as l do now said Maj.
Sohwarz. This evidence Of the good feel
ing Of my fellow citizens makes me the
proudest man in Savannah, II it was in my
power to accept the honor you desire TO
confer upon me would gladly do so, but 1
have bound myself 70 q company for
another year. The contract was signed by
me yesterday and now my first duty is 10
the company to which l have pledged my
services. Therefore you must excuse me-"
The crowd cried mo. no; you must ac-
cept. The company must agree"
Harry Beckett moved that the commit
tee do most unanimously indorse Mai
John SchwarZ and demand that he head
the Harmon aldermanic ticket, and that
the Savannah steam bakery be notified that
it is the peoples wish that Maj. Schwarz be
accorded rime to attend to the duties Of an
alderman
George Myer and several others crowded
around Maj. Schwarz and tried to get him
to accept, but he shook his head.
THE NOMINATION UNANIMOUS.
County Treasurer Russell then came
forward and put Mr.. Beckett's motion,
which was carried amid another scene
similar to the one which preceded it few
minutes before and the baud enlived affairs
by playing Dixie Maj Schwarz finally
surrendered TO the pressure and il the stage
had not been In the way the crowd would
have carried him around the room on its
shoulders.
While the committee was selecting the
board of aldermanic candidates the time was
put in with short speeches. J. Il. Saussy
ST., Esq, made a short humorous speech, IN
which he scored the present administration
and the registration board in polite Ian
guage.
ALDERMAN o'BRIEN TACKLED.
Judge P. NJ. Russell, after compliment
ing Alderman Harmon, turned to his own
recent defeat and said he would not be
human II he could forget the treacheTy of
one particular alderman who Is seeking re-
election, and he proposes to do everything
against him that he can election day. That
alderman" said Mr.. Russell, sis W. |.
OBrien. He came TO my house and SOL
emnly promised to support me and then
went back on me.n
MIR. Manucy jumped on the city registra-
ton and claimed that fraud was being per-
petrated by the registrars to defeat Alder
man Harmon. He denounced Cspt. Purse,
Mr.. O'Byrne and Alderman Charlton, and
referred to their efforts to get Gov. Northern
TO veto the city registration bill in any,
thing but complimentary terms. Mr..
Manucy said the reason Alderman Charlton
declined to run on Mayor McDonough's
ticket is that he Is afraid to face an out
ragged people for past acts.
The committee came in at the conclusion
Of Mr.. Manucy's speech with the oldermanic
ticket published at the head of this article,
and IL was adopted without dissenting
vote.
HURRAHs ARE NOT VOTES
Warning Russell brought the meeting to a
close with a short speech. in which he said
he proposed TO do everything in his power
for the success Of Alderman Harmon and
his ticket. The crowd cheered him and he
| replied 81 don't want your hurrahs, but
your work and your votes Be at the polls
with me on Tuesday and we will win this
| fight. Vote the ticket straight, and moth
| ing but this ticket"
At the latter part Of the meeting some Of
Mayor McDonough's friends came in from
the Masonic hall meeting, and interrupted
the speakers with remarks about downing"
| Harmon. One Of E EN-, young man, be-
| came little too noisy to suit the Harmon
ties and he was thrown downstairs. He
| was not injured, however.
The registration closes tonight at s
| O'Clock, and to-day will be the last oppor-
tunity voters will have to qualify them
selves to vote for mayor and aldermen. II
is believed the total registration will foot up
| a little over 1900.
