THE POLITICIANS DAY OFF.
The Grass Will Not Grow Under Their
Feet To-day Nor Tomorrow.

a Gathering Of the Clans Tonight.
The Citizens Club viii Hold Rally
and Announce Its Ticket for Com
mitteemen-Tamma Ready for the
Fray-The Non-Club Voter to Play a
Big Part in the Mass Meetings.
To-day and tomorrow will be days of
hard work with the politicians. and, for
that matter, almost every man is a poll
tician Just now. There are very few in
deed who, whether club members or not,
are not taking an active interest in the
question of who shall compose the next
democratic executive committee.
The mass meetings for this purpose to-
morrow afternoon will be the mos largely
attended Of any meetings for a similar
purpose that have ever been held in this
county. Judged in this light the next ex-
ecutive committee should be the most
representative one the party has ever
had.
Apparently very little political work
was going on yesterday. The politicians
felt the need of a rest. Some of them
spent the day at Tybee, others at Thur
derbolt, and those who remained in the
city kept very quiet. 1t is safe to say,
however, that the subject was uppermost
Ia their minds.
TO-DAY TO BE BUSY ONE.
Active work will recommence to-day.
Committees will meet and perfect their
plans, and the work Of urging upon the
undecided the necessity of attending the
mass meetings and of supporting the can
didates Of whichever side they favor will
not cease. The Citizens Club will hold
rally tonight for the purpose Of urging
upon its members the necessity OF being
early at the meetings and voting as
often as possible. Speeches will be made
by prominent members, and every effort
used to entnuSe the members. An i'm
portant feature of the meeting, it is un-
derstood, will be the announcing Of the
ticket of the club for committee men in
the several districts and the five com
mittee men at large. 1t is understood
that those members of the executive
committee who are members of the
club, with perhaps one or two
exceptions, will be named for re-elec-
tion. Whether the ticket will be made
public tonight is not known. but it is
believed that it will. At least some of
the leading members of the club have
announced themselves in favor of this
policy
The committees of the Democratic and
Tammany clubs will also meet tonight at
the quarters Of the Tammany Club on
Bay street. Arrangements to meet the
enemy and gam a complete victory to-
morrow night will be made. In spite of
the extrayagant claims of numbers made
by their opponents, the anti-Russell demo
Gratis are satisfied that they are in the
majority and they have no fears at meet
ing the issue. They are now convinced
that their opponents are great buffers
and they propose to find out whether this
is true or not.
TAMMANY's STRENGTH
While the Tammany and Democratic
Clubs have a very large membership they
have fully as many friends who agree
with them in their policy, but who do not
propose to be bound by any club organiza-
tions. These voters will be at the mass
meetings tomorrow night, however, to
help elect good men to the executive COM
mittee.
The partisans of both sides win be in
fever of expectation until the issue is
decided, and it will be a great relief
when it is all over. The question of
whether the new committee shall call a
primary for the gubernatorial anG state
house candidates at once will be one of
the first questions to come before the new
committee.
WANT CHATHAM TO co AHEAD.
A great many people are anxious to
have Chatham county go ahead and cast
its vote one way or the other in order
that its influence may be felt in the state
campaign. This would tend to keep up
the political excitement Another thing
is the expenseof holding primary. which
IS considerable. BY deci ing all the ques-
tions that are to cone before the demo
Gratis OF the county at one primary ex-

select legislative candidates will hardly
be held Tor several weeks yet in order to
allow all thelntending candidates IA chance
TO get before the peop-e and announce
their positions on the various questions Of
the day. There is enough politics ahead
TO keep up lively interest ell summer
