SHY OF THE PRESENT BOARD.
sIAYoRALTY CANDIDATES DON'T
WANT MANY ON THEIR TICKET.

Ii Is Admitted MIR. Myers Could Not
Consistently Carry Aldermen OF
This Council on His Tickct-Au-
thoritfveIy stated Mr.. McDOnouEh
would BE Averse TO Running with
Many Candidates for recollection.
Reauest viii BE Made to Gail LiI'-
eraI club Meeting Next Week.
II is understood that members of. the
liberal club will ask President Me,drim
to call a meeting next week for the pur-
pose of considering and probably nominate
ing a municipal ticket. Those who viii
make the request say 1t will take from
eight to ten DAYS to arrange an alder
manic ticket, and this being the case,
there will not be much time left in which
to conduct the campaign.
The fact that several of the present
board propose to run again gives rise to
an interesting question. Those close TO
Mr. McDonough have stated it to be their
belief that he would be unwilling TO have
many of the present aldermen on his
ticket As for MIR. Myers, it Is common
ly agreed that his fight would be
against the administration and its poll
cies, and for that reason he would not
care to burden his ticket with those he
proposes TO arraign. In the event either
OF these gentlemen are nominated, il viii
be interesting to know what is to become
Of those Of the board who are aVowed
candidates for reelection.
Some time ago the Morning News pub
lshed interviews from several aldermen
TtUaer 70 i'm
and while some stated positively they are
out of the fight, others declined to ex
press themselves, which was construed at
the time to mean they were awaiting de
velopments.
Il is pretty well known that both Mr..
McDonough or Mr. Myers will keep at
safe distance from indorsing the policies
of the present administration. If they
run, ii will be on platforms that win not
hint at an Endorsement of what the pres
ent Council has done.
my platform and those who may run
with me are things it would be manifestly
premature to discuss now" said Mr.. Nc
Donough. II will just say | think matters
will come 10 a focus next week, at which
time it wall be Known who is to make
the race.
when it is known who is to enter the
field think the candidate should at once
/ would pursue, and l do not think there
would be any mistaking it. 1t is some
thing about which a candidate should be
thoroughly understood"
1t was stated last night, and apparently
on good foundation, that at a meeting a
night or two ago. of a number of men
prominent in the Liberal Club it had been
decided that Hon. John J. McDonough
should be made the candidate of the club
for Mayor and that steps should be TAX
en- to ensure his nomination.
To-day and tomorrow are the only
two left in which citizens desiring to quail
ify themselves to vote can register The
books are al the office of Tax Collector
MCGOWAN in the court house and will
close tomorrow at p. m. In order to
register it is only necessary that state and
county taxes should have been paid. The
city taxes can be paid up to The time
of the election.

REGISTRATION BOOMING.
Politicians Evidently Taking n
Hand.


There was quite a squirt in the registra-
ton at the tax collectors office yesterday.
The crowd was larger than on any pre-
vous day of the registration since the
last election, and what was more, It was
evidently a political crowd.
Political workers were in evidence, and
it was plain that the registration was be-
ing pushed from political motives. This
was evident from the fact that consider
able money was spent in getting the names
of the IS voters who were registered dur
ing the day on the books, some of them
owing back taxes for one or more years.
In a number Of instances the parties
did not pay the 1898 tax, 1t only being
required that the taxes up 10 and includ-
ing 1897 be paid in order to get on the
1898 registration. The 1898 taxes must be
paid, however in order TO vote in the city
election, but this can be done later when
it is seen that the services of the voters
viii be needed by the party which expects
his support
Although men were i'm line at the tax
collectors Office for several hours, there
was no disorder AT O'Clock all who
were in line were admitted 10 the office
and the doors were closed. 1t required
Register Sullivan just an hour and twenty
five minutes TO get the names on the books
OF those who had been admitted. Capt.
MCGOWAN and his assistants were also
kept busy looking up the records on the
tax books and issuing receipts to those
who desired to register.

Suspension of the journal.
MIR c. w Edwards, president Of the Sa-
vannah Journal Company, which recently
suspended publication under claims by
creditors. and which is now in receiv-
er's hands. has made a statement of the

sion of the Journal TO the Wilmington,

between rival religious factions Of Savan-
nah. which were trying 10 control the pol
icy Of the paper.

"Mr Edwards owned a controlling IN
terest in the stock of the company and
is also the largest creditor, having claims
against the company of over $500. He
was not able to stay in Savannah and de
vote his time 70 The management ana
those who have had the active manage
naent have not done their work to the
satisfaction of the stockholders.
Mr. Edwards returned from Savannah
the other day, leaving word with his at
torney and another creditor friendly TO
his interests, that if the factions among
the stockholders did not combine for peace
and harmony, an application for receiv'
ership should be made so as to straighten
out all interests"

Cotton Letter

Special to The Age-Herald.
 New York, March 15.-The more hopeful feeling over the poli ical outlook and a moderate semi weekly movement of sup plies at the interior towns brought about a good reaction in cotton today. Liver pool advices were not particularly encour- aging this morning, prices there declining one-half sixty-fourths. In spite of this, the opening here was shade better. It became evident early in the session that the long liquidation had ceased for the present, and relieved of this pressure, the market slowly improved after the opening Commission houses were moderate buyers and there was some short covering. The market was extremely marrow, however, and the rise has no special significance. August opened at cents, raaAed to 605, declined to 6O2, then advanced to 6..n and closed at 6.O6 to GOT with the hone of the market steady. The selling of the last days has relieved many tired holders of thsar burden and if the political situation con tinues to improve, prices may go higher.

New York, March 15.-The cotton mar ket showed healthier undertone today on a generally better class of news. Specula- ton. however. was very light except dur ing the first hour. The first call developed a steady market with prices unchanged to point higher. Soon after the opening prices moved up and points on active buying, led by Liverpool reports. This was started by favorable late English cables.

BOND
Financial

New York, March 15.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says:
 In spite of Lord Salisbury's illness the stock market opened better today in the absence of further disturbing news, but on heavy selling of Spanish and other stocks from Paris all the markets slumped. Americans at one time were very flat. There was no support from arbitrage houses and prices here were below the New York level. The two big New York houses turned round and bought, prices rallied and simultaneously Paris stopped selling with the result that the bears has tened to scramble in causing prices in all the markets to close at the best.
 Spanish As fluctuated between 52 and 53%, closing at 53. Grand trunk was better in sympathy with Americans, and South Americans were better on the Paris mar ket, which are still most unsettled and feverish, however.
 The suicide of a stock broken does not indicate fresh financial trouble. In spite of the heavy premium on gold by the Bank of France I understand that shipments from Paris to New York still pay. There Is an impression in good quarters that the Bank of England may raise the price of eagles on any further considerable with drawaS. sss{ <

Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter.,

Birmingham, Ala, March 15-The short covering which started early Monday morning continued today and was aug mented by considerable buying of special ties, The street was full of rumors that the Cuban-Spanish affair would be set tied by the purchase of Cuba, houses with Washington connections claiming that the clique who are interested in the specuia- tion have been seriously listened to by the cabinet and leading senators. In the ab- sence of any developments or messages from the president this answered as well as anything else to scare the shorts, and the market responded with advances of l to 3 per cent. This was well maintained un+il the last hour, when some small realizing caused declines. There were no war-nke demonstrations and the inducement Of be- lief is for a speedy and peaceful adjust- ment of affairs, but until the Maine re- port is public property, the market will be sensational.
