which the Ticket VIII BE Indoors
ed-No Action on the JudgShip.
Compromise Evidently Fell
Through.
The Liberal Club ticket is out, and that
faction is ready for the fray, which is
now and will be for the next two or
three days in fun blast
1t is evident from the action that has
been taken that such a thing as a COM
promise as no more considered. In fact,
abe compromise matter does not appear
10 have been looked upon very seriously
by several of the leaders Of the Liberal
Club, and from the present status of affairs
It is regarded as next to an impossibilty.
The Liberal Club committee of 100 held
a meeting at the Savannah Club, at Bay
and Abercorn streets. last night. and re-
ceived the report OF the subcommittee APP
pointed to attend to the matter of MONT.
nations. There were between eighty and
100 present, comprising all classes of citi-
zens and all business interests. The cons
mittee of ten, through Chairman NJ. A
O'Byrne, reported the following candidates
as the unanimous choice of the commit
tee:
For members of the legislature: j. j.
NcDonough, Thomas H. Mcmillan and
Walter P. LaRoche.
For delegates to the congressional con-
vention: Henry c. Cunningham, J. II. Es-
till Edward Karow, B. A. Denmark, T.
j. Davis and A. L. Alexander
For delegates to the senatorial cOnven-
ton: John Flannery, r.. NJ. Huh, %. A.
We'll DR. William Duncan, c. y. Baldwin
and William B. Sullwell.
This ticket met with a warm reception
from the meeting, and went through by a
unanimous vote, without discussion. IL
was decided to hold a mass meeting at the
Masonic hall tomorrow night al $50
O'Clock, at which the ticket will be in
dorsed. This will be a mass meeting, IN
the words of one of the members of the
committee, composed of members of the
Liberal Club and of all citizens of Chat
ham county, who favor the unificatiOn of
the Democratic party, home rule and good
government.
The mass meeting will Immediately pre-
oede the election, which takes place on
Thursday. 1t is probable also that the
Citizens Club viii hold a meeting the same
night, and there viii literally be hot time
in the old town. Speakers for the meeting
will be arranged later.
The legislative candidates are all too
well known in the city to need any de-
scription or introduction. Mr. McDonough
was member of the last legislature with
Mayor Medrim and DR. Duncan. Mr.
Mcmillan is one of SaVannahs most prom
inent business men, and Mr.. LaRoche is
one Of Savannah's best known lawyers.
All of them have been prominently identi-
fled with the Liberal Club and the element
which composes il for years. The congress
sional and senatorial delegations are
strong ones, and were carefully prepared.
Working committees were appointed for
all of the city districts The committee of
100 simply divided itself up into working
committees, according to the districts to
which the different members belonged, and
each district viii elect its own chairman
1T is probable that meetings will be held
in all the districts before the election. At
any rate there will De meetings 0f the
voters in the First and Fourth districts,
and some interesting work Will be done in
the others.
There will be a meeting of the voters of
the Fourth district at the Savannah Club
to- night at $3.50 o'clock for the purpose of
organizing for The primary and enlisting
the support of the voters of that district
generally. The fourth is regarded as one
of the strongholds and anything it does Is
usually looked on with much interest.
The meeting took no action with refer
ence to candidates for the Supreme Court.
Friends of both candidates have asked that
nothing be done, as they desired TO keep
the race for the Supreme Court as much
out of local politics as possible. There will
be found at the polls, therefore, just about
as many Fish tickets as there are Gober
tickets ana vice versa.
With regard to the registration, under
the ruling of the executive committee and
in accordance with resolutions passed by
it, the registration of 1896 win be used
Upon that list are more than 6,500 voters
about 100 of whom are negroes II may
be said that there are about 1000 Demo-
cratic voters on the list The only eXcep-
ton with regard to the registration will
be that young men who have. become OF
age since 1885, and who have qualified as
voters viii be allowed to vote.
No action has been taken with regard to
the senatorial race. That matter, said a
prominent member of the committee, will
be left entirely to the delegation, and those
gentlemen if elected will act just as they
see 1T.
