The meeting will be the first gun of the
senatorial campaign in Savannah, and
will be the first political rally at which
other than local speakers have been pres
ent. 1t will also be Senator Walsh's first
speech of the campaign in Georgia. The
meeting will be at 80 o'clock.
Mr.. r. M Martin, DR. 7. S. Layton and
MIR. Donald Fraser of Liberty county ar
rived in the city last night as a commit
tee from Liberty's democrats, with a
lengthy petition to Senator WALSH urging
him to go TO Hinesville this morning and
address the rally there, returning to Sa-
v8nnah tonight in time for the meeting
here The gentlemen were disappointed
in finding that Mr.. Walsh will not reach
here until this afternoon, and they will
not be able to take him to
Liberty with them. The committee
will return to Hinesville this
morning, and will be accompanied by 7.
S. Morgan, Jr., Esq, and Mr. P. A
Stovall, who will address the rally on the
issues of the day. Several local speakers
will also be on hand. The barbecue
promises to be big thing 1--WE believe
every democrat in Liberty county will be
there, said one of the committee Ten
beeves and twenty-five sheep and numer-
Gus pigs will be slaughtered for the hungry
crowd that is expected.
