The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-07-12

To Judge from the stories that have been
published each ship of the squadron that
fought the Spaniards off Santiago was the
first 10 sight the enemy and the one which
did the most damage in the conflict. The
people have the satisfaction, however, of
knowing that the enemy was disposed OF
in short order, whoever may have been
the first to see him. Where there is so
much gallantry and good shooting il is
hard to ten who should be ranked first.

It is apparent that a considerable part Of
Europe has mad lis breath taken away by
the rapid and effective manner in which
the Americans fight. The ST. Petersburg
Novosu thinks we have been using some
kind Of new explosive machine or bomb.
contrary TO international law" OF course
that isn't true. The fact is that we have
been shooting the regulation projectiles
but we plunked them in SO rapidly and so
accurately that the Spanlards and other
Europeans have simply been dazed by our
fire. They cannot understand it; they
never saw anything like it before Europe
by the way, as learning a good many new
things about the Americans.

Talking of 1900.
From the Montgomery Advertiser (Dern.).

It may be that Mr.. Livingston is correct
in his prognosis that the Democratic par
ty will take position against the acquisi-
ton of territory. That is a question
which, we think. will be largely decided
and settled by the results of the present
conflict. and may or not become a party
policy, but we are profoundly of the opin-
ion that there will be no distinctive free
silver Democratic party in 1900. and that
any attempt to hold together such a par
ty will result in most disastrous defeat,

There are those who insist that Wash

at Manila is only part of the Emperor's

had better be careful, however, or he will
lose his present navy.

The Mayor of Chicago has declined to
approve the ordinance changing the name
of Bissell street, in that city, TO Dewey
avenue. The veto is based upon common
sense. Bissell street was named in honor
of a very worthy Governor of Illinois.
There is no reason why an act of discour-
tesy to his memory should be peSpetrated.
Deweys fame would not be enhanced by
the naming of a Chicago street after him.

MARRIED.-At the Episcopal

MARRIED.-At the Episcopal
| Church, in Covington, by Rev. A.
r. Edbrooke, Wednesday evening,
Deck 20, 1897, Thos. NJ. Burns and
Miss Pauline Martindale.
At the appointed hour the brida!
party arrived at the church and
proceeded up the aisle, amid the
strains of the Mendelsohn wedding
march. The bridesmaid, Miss
Hewitt, of New Orleans, daintily
gowned in blue organdy over silk,
preceded by the maid of honor,
Miss Montgomery, also Of New
Orleans, wearing white silk and
chiffon: the bride following on the
arm of her uncle, Judge James NJ.
Thompson, was robed in an ex-
quisite creation of white duchess
satin. embellished with embroi-
dered chiffon, Ell train, with
wreath and vail, and was a perfect
picture of loneliness and grace.
The handsome groom, with his
best man, Mr.. Chas. IIosmer,
awaited the brides coming at the
altar rail, with the officiating
clergyman, Rev. Edbrooke. The
impressive ceremony, which united
two loving hearts for life, was per-
formed beneath large horseshoe
of white blossoms. The church
was tastefully decorated for the
occasion, and was filled with the
friends of the contracting parties,
both of whom are very popular
and highly esteemed by all who
know them. The fair young bride
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. +.
r. z. Martlndale, OF Covington, and
the groom is son of Mrs. John
Burns, Of Chubby Hill Plantation.
Messrs. Willie Blossman and Percy
Barelli acted as ushers. From
the church, the bridal party re-
paired to the home of the brides
parents, where very enjoyable and
informal reception was held, at
tended only by relatives and init
mate friends. Numerous presents
we're received by the happy young
couple, including many from
friends at a distance. We ac-
knowledge the receipt of a liberal
supply of the brides cake, and we
Join their numerous friends il

THE SENATORIAL RACE.
Racine County is Preparing For It's
Usual Grab.

Although the Republican Senatorial
convention will not be held until Oct
Is, yet there is considerable interest
being taken in the contest. There are
three candidates for the place in Ra-
cine county-Hon. W. T. Lewis and
Frank Ticknor from the city, and
Thomas Mosher from Kneeland. Ke-
nosha county is also in this Senatorial
district and it is understood that there
are aspirants down there.
In this city Hon. w. T. Lewis was
the first in the field. He has been
working for the nomination for some
time and his friends-and he has hosts
of them seem to think that he has the
best of the situation. 1t is intimated
that the name of Mr.. Ticknor, which
was sprung only few days ago, is to
be used merely for the purpose OF
dividing the Racine county delegation
in the hope of downing Mr.. Lewis and
giving the nomination to Kenosha. In
deed there are Republican politicians
who are arguing for some reason that
Kenosha county should have the place.
But if they will but take the time to
look over the record they will find that
Kenosha is if anything ahead of Racine
in political honors, as far as state and
government offices are concerned
Racine News.
As to the aspirants in Kenosha
county it would be exceedingly hard to
lay your finger on che men. Several
Kenosha men have been spoken of for
for the position, but none have taken
any acknowledgements in the fight
for Senator. Nearly all the Racine
county candidates have visited Keno
sha county and have attempted to
make some Ii l. but have returned
uurewarded. v hen the time comes
Kenosha county will name her own
candidate and there is strong prob
ability that he will be nominated.
There are some parts of Racine county
which are not bowling down to the Ra-
cine politicians, and indeed it is re
ported that John S. Blakey, of Union
Grove, will enter, the contest against
Lewis and Mosher. Mr. Blakey has
recently made several visits to Keno
sha and is said to have the partial
support of the leadersi of Kenosha
Republicans.
Thotu IN ou0 Ui1iu5 1urU. KUncSho
county is entitled to the nomination il
she wants it, as Kenosha county has
always stood by Racine when it was
necessary.
