Ex-Postmaster Joseph L. Doyle will
make the race for congress for the re-
publicans Of the First congressional dis
trict. He was nominated yesterday by
the committee on nominations appointed
by the recent district convention. with
the exception of one vote, the nomination
was unanimous, the exception being Capt
NJ. ]. Doyle, who withdrew from the
meeting when the name of his son was
presented, stating that he did not de-
sire that his presence be construed as in
iuencing the action of the committee.
Mr.. Joseph F. Doyle is a native of Sa-
vannah, a graduate of Chatham Acade-
my and in his S3d year. He is a mem

son, succeeding Capt. George w. Lamar,
and his conduct of the office was such as
to give general satisfaction and especially
in business circles. He represented Geor-
gia on the committee which notified Hon.
Garrett A. Hobart of his nomination for
the vice presidency.
Mr.. Doyle was an active and leading
light in the Ford Dramatic Association
and since the organization disbanded. he
has taken a leading part in most of the
local dramatic entertainments for char
liable purposes, which was one of the
objects of the Fords. His connection
with these entertainments tended to
make him popular, and has made him
many warm personal friends. He was
Tor two years marshal of the Ancient Or
der OF Hibernians, an organization which
is strong in Savannah.
Mr.. Doyle is a sound money man, and
while in favor of retaining silver as one
of the circulating mediums, opposes any
theory that seeks to float it at an uncom-
mercial ratio as compared with the inter-
national standard of exchange.
Mr.. Doyle's friends predict that he will
make strong race. They say that if
he is elected Savannah's interests will be
securely guarded by him, and that all
legislation tending to the commercial
prosperity of his state, his district and
his home, will have his earnest and I'M
broken support.
Following the nomination of Mr.. Doyle
the committee adopted the following res
olutions:
Resolved, That the republicans of the
First congressional district heartily in
dorse the national republican platform
adopted at the st. Louis convention, and
pledge Mckinley and Hobart, the nomi-
nees for President and Vice President of
the United States, our earnest support.
Resolved, That we indorse and ratify
the nomination of W. R. Leakep,. Esq,
the Mckinley and Hobart elector for this
district, and all the other electors named
for Georgia by the republican state central
committee at it's late meeting held in the
city of Macon, and presided over by Col
A. E. Buck, the chairman of the republic
can party of Georgia"
A mass meeting will be held in short
time, at which Messrs. Doyle, Leaken and
Maj. ]. F. Hanson, candidate for elector-
at-large, will be the chief speakers.
The republican county committee met
yesterday at Odd Fellows hall on Harris
street Rev. Hosea Maxwell, chairman
presided, with ]. E. Whiteman, secretary.
The following declarations were adopted
as a platform:
THE Chatham county republican COM
mittee, following the action of the late
county convention in indorsing the repup-
lcan nominee for President and Vice
President, do hereby indorse all the Nc
Kinley and Hobart electors for Georgia,
headed by Hon. J. r. Hanson and put
forward by the republican state central
committee at its recent meeting at Macon,
presided over by Col. A. f. Buck
Having only about one-sixth of the
registered voters of the county, so far as
now known, it will not be contended by
any one that we could elect candidates
for the legislature, therefore, we can see
no practical gain to our party by MAX
ing nominations for those positions, but
advise that every republican voter pe
