tious-The Two Factions Abuse Each
Other to Their Hearts Content-The
Myers Leaders Say the Club is Better
OF without the Schwarz Faction-A
Meeting to be Called Tomorrow Night
by the Schw4rz People, at Which DR..
Duncan Name WilI be Proposed.
The meeting Of the Citizens Club last
night was fully up TO expectations. It
was expected that there would be con-
fusion and dissension and there was, it
was expected that the friends Of Mai.
Schwarz would endeavor TO arrange a
compromise on DR.. Duncan. which they
did IL was expected that falling in this
they would leave the meeting unless they
had q very large majority and they did;
ic was expected that the balance of the
club would remain and nominate Alder
man Herman Myers, and in this expecta-
tons were also fully realized. In fact.
no prophecy could have been more closely
complied with.
The meeting was well attended, and
from its beginning until the friends OF
Mai Sohwarz left the hall the disorder
was such that little business could be
transacted. Those who remained, being
al Of one mind were. Of course, harmo-
nious, ana it did not take them long to
nominate 9Ir Myers and pass campaign
resolutions. While the two factions held
the boards. however harmony was an
unknown quantity
The friends Of Mai. Schwarz are in
dignant. They feel outraged by the whole
proceedings, and say they viii not sub
nit to the action Of the meeting. They
have decided to call a mass meeting Of
the citizens Of Savannah al the theater
one night this week for the purpose Of
making a nomination for mayor
1lr Myers friends are satisfied with
the course pursued by the club, and the
Withdrawal Of the Schwarz faction does
not seem TO worry them. They claim to
have had very large majority in the
meeting and they say the crowd that
withdrew was SO small that 1t VIII cut
no figure of any consequence when 1t
comes to the election.
It was generally understood by the MEM
bers that the meeting of the Citizens
Club last night though not called for the
purpose Of making a mayoralty nomina-
tion, would end by placing one OF the can
didates in the field.

sued to members whose names
appeared upon the clubs roster,
but many gained entrance not
withstandlng the fact that eight heavy
weight politicians Of the lower wards
were placed as guardians at the door.
AS early as o'clock the crowd began
TO assemble. James Mcbride, with con-
tngent Of the -four hundred was among
the first on The ground. He took promi-
nent part, challenging those who sought
to enter, and about whose membership
and standing there seemed to be some
suspicion In one instance wOrdy battle
ensued and Mcbride was heard to say:
"Oh, no. you won't hit me" The other
fellow viewed the contingent who sup
ported Mcbride, kept quiet and passed into
the hall, as did many others, who may
not have been members.
About 800 people were crowded into the
hail when President Osborne called the
meeting to order He asked the indulg-
ence of the crowd and while the minutes
of the previous meeting were being read,
il kept passably quiet
A few minor discrepancies in the min
utes were corrected and President Os-
borne stated that the club would hear the
report of the joint committee appointed
70 arrange a primary.
As every one expected, there were two
reports, one from the committeeman ap-
pointed by Maj Schwarz and one from
that of the Myers faction. Mr.. \. n.
Manucy read his report as chairman,
which he said he could neither term a
majority nor o minority report. His APP
pearance seemed TO be the signal for dis
order. For five minutes the smoke-laden
atmosphere resounded with cat-calls,
Kisses, cries Of GIVE US Schwarz or YOU
don't get bread" cheers for Myers, and
much stamping Of feet and clapping of
hands for both.
The chairman finally restored partial
order when Mr. Manucy read his report
setting forth the fact that the committee
had held a meeting and that the two aspi-
rants for the mayOralty nomination had
been invited 10 confer with them The
committee was appointed TO arrange for
p nomination by primary, but Mr. Myers,
he said, asserted that he would not be a
candidate unless the 1S4 new members of
the Citizens Club were given a voice in
that primary. Maj. SchwarZ, Mr.. Manucy
said, appeared and stated that he had left
The question to the decision OF his friends
VINO were represented on the committee.
AIr. ]. S. Collins made a report on the
primary from the Myers side Of the ques-
tion, he having Withdrawn his name from
Mr.. Manucy's report.
The reports viewed the primary from
the standpoint of each Of the candidates
the Myers contingent holding that the
l64 new names should be LETT on the roll.
while the SChwarz faction contenled that
they should be eliminated.
A motion was made that Mr.. Manucys
report be adopted, and President Osborne
attempted to put the question upon this
motion but it was fully twenty minutes
before the cessation Of the pandemoniuu
which followed during which time a good
many Of those present became disguised
and left the hall
A hundred men rose to their feet each
demanding recognition From the tansie
Of motions Mr.. Osborne evolved that
which provided for the laying upon the
table Of the report made by Mr.. Manucy.
Justice Reynolds questioned the chair
mans sincerity and Maj Schvarz arose
and advanced 10 the presidents desk.
Waving both hands for silence, he said
that the welfare of the club was above
the ambition Of any man, and that ali
he demanded was fair play. During his
remarks the crowd kept decenuy quiet
When Mr.. Collins arose to respond
about a dozen men stationed in differ
ont parts OF the hall hissed and shouted
so that he could not be heard.
The question 20 table Iauucy's report
was put aui before the result was an.
