UnquestfOnabIy Two of the Liberal
Club Candidates.
! Some of the Liberal Club people evil
! IDENTIFY did not know what was goign on
! yesterday, while others did, and quietly
kept their mouths shut and talked about
something else.
Some of them spoke as if there were
really nothing in the wind out Of the
| usual order, and went on to discuss the
| situation as between the two factions in
the regular old way.
The committee of ten had not completed
its work UP to last night, when Chairman
NJ. A. O'Byrne left the city for Tybee
| When seen about the matter Mr.. O'Byrne
was reticent on the subject of the legisla-
tive ticket except to say that it was
! generally conceded that Hon. ]. j. Nc
Donough would be one of the candidates
put out by the Liberal side
Further than this Mr.. O'Byrne had moth
ing to say, except that the balance of the
ticket had not been settled on, and prob
ably would not be until tomorrow after
noon. report will then be made to the
committee of 100, which viii meet at the
Savannah Club, at Bay and Abercorn
streets, and action taken,
1t was learned from another gentleman
who knows something about the way
| Things are going with the Liberals that
| Mr.. Walter p. LaRoche would be another
! candidate on this ticket. About these two
| there Is no question. He said at first
he thought Dr. William Duncan would be
| the third candidate, but afterward said It,
was possible there would be a big sur
prise before the matter was settled. Evil
IDENTIFY the big surprise came out sooner
than anticipated.
It is well known that DR.. Duncan did
not care to make the race again, but be-
Ing urged to do so he might have con-
scented, and would probably have made the
third member of the ticket had IL not
been for the other arrangement Should
the deal fall through, it is possible he
would occupy the other place on the Lib
eral Club ticket.
1t is absurd" said one of the Liberal
ties, who, no doubt, knew that something
in the nature of a deal was going on
for those people to can themselves the
ntl-administration faction and put out
| what they call an anti-administrati ton
ticket when their leaders are in the en-
ploy of the city. Mr.. Willink, one If
their most prominent leaders, is Commits
sioner of Public Works, and Mr.. j. s.
! y,
was elected by the City Council"
Another Liberalite said that prominent
men connected with the Liberal Club We're
not in favor of making any fight on Judge
Gober, as seemed to be the inclination of
those at the meeting of the committee of
100. The Liberals have about concluded
they WAL not make any issue at all of the
Supreme Court judgeship race, and the
voters may take their choice of candidates
There has also been some talk among
the Liberals about the fact that the Bull
street paving upon which about eighty
seven men are employed has not yet been
finished. THIS work was 10 have been fin
ished by May !, but has been delayed con-
slderably. These men the Liberals claim
ed would be used by the Citizens Club fac
ton to knife the administration.
Inc members of the Savannah bar with
but few exceptions are strongly for Judge
Fish. They have signed the card below
anu SuDinlt tnelr views Tor the cOnSidera-
ton of the voters. AS the question con-
Germs the qualifications for judicial Of
nee, they have thought 1t not amiss to let
their opinion be known. There are num-
Der of the lawyers in the army and these
could not be seen. Nearly all in the city
have signed.
Savannah, Ga, June 49, 1S9S-We. the
undersigned members of the bar of the
eastern judicial circuit, do cordially in
dorse William II. Fish, one of the asso-
ciate judges of the Supreme Court of Geor-
gia, for election by the people to the posi-
| ton on the Supreme Court bench now held
by him. He has made good Judge and
| ought to be retained upon that bench by
the vote of the people at the Forthcoming
election.
