II is probable that a sound money rally
VIII be held in Savannah soon for the pur-
pose OF giving expression in clear and
unmis takable terms to the position of the
people OF Savannah, without regard to
clique or faction. on this subject Friends
or Mr. duBtgnon are discussing such a
rally, though IL is not proposed that he
should be present and make an address.
RMS would look too much as If the meet
ing had been called simply to boom his
candidacy for the Senate.
If savannah hasn't got a right to speak
ON the subject of sound finance who has2"
remarked prominent citizen to a Morn
ing News reporter. I'VE have never had
bank failure. We have seven banks
here, and during all the financial distress
which prevailed during the last two years
not one Of them ever failed to pay a check
on il when the party making 1t had the
money to his credit there. 1t is a record
TO be proud Of. Savannah's utterance on
such a subject should, and will, have
weight with the people of this state"
IL is said that the point has been dis
cussed among the leaders of the two fac
tons, and that IL has been practically
agreed that instead OF opposing delega-
tons being named in the primary for the
state convention, joint delegation viii
be agreed on by both sides composed of
whose views will command
in the convention, and of whose position
on this question there will not be the
slightest doubt. By doing this the finan-
dispute and any tendency towards log
rolling in the convention for future politi-
cal advantage checked.
