the eX-Mayor was heartily received Maj
Schwarz said that he had thought for
some years that he would never interfere
in political affairs again. He felt, how
ever, that the time had come when every
citizen who has the welfare of the city
at heart should take a hand in municipal
affairs.
The majors remarks were in his own
well-known dialect, which the crowd en-
joyed. BE patient with my language,
gentlemen" said the major, land / will
get through all right. l am more used to
working than speaking"

. Mr.. du Bignon said there had been some
report to the effect that Capt Doyle was
not citizen of Savannah In the days
when he first came to Savannah, he said,
when he had more horses than sense, the
man who always managed 60 put the dust
in his eyes was the gentleman sitting there,
pointing to Capt. Doyle.
Capt Doyle received an ovation as he
arose "Other speakers have addressed

l win address you as brother Democrats
and fellow Republicans. Whenever you

with Mr. Myers until after the election
They say that Mr. Myers will get only
a fraction OF the Irish vote / predict that
he will get al least one-haf the Irish
vote"
Capt, Doyle said that he had never de-
MED that he was a Republican in national
politics. Referring to the charge that he
was noe a citizen of Savannah I'VE are
looking for votes now; never mind the
legal points
There were calls for Mr.. Osborne, but he
did MOI appear. Mr.. duBignon announced
that while there were doubtless a number
of speakers whom the crowd would ike
to hear from, there were many matters of
detail which 1t was important should be
attended to at once and he, therefore,
suggested an adjournment, which was
promptly agreed TO- 1t was announced
that the Myers supporters will hold their
final rally at the Masonic Hall Monday
night
Mr. David Wells of the Myers alder
manic ticket has had several years
experience on the board of aldermen, and
is well vcrsed in the city's affairs. Maj.

1899 and was for several years previous
thereto a member OF the board of alder
men, He is now a member of the Gov
eruors staff. with the title of colonel,
but the people know him better as Maj.
Schwarz. Mr.. Hal II. Bacon is a menu
her of the firm of A. s. Bacon e Sons.
lie was q member Of the Myers alder
manic board two years ago. Mr.. Bacon
was first lieutenant of Company b of The
Second Georgia Regiment during the re-
cent unpleasantness with Spain. Justice
Samuel Reynolds has been a magistrate
in Savannah for years, and is SO well
thought OF in the district that he never
has any opposition. DR.. ]. G. farrell is
one OF the younger physicians of the city.
He was surgeon Of the First Georgia Reg
iment during the recent war aud saw SER
vice in Porto Rico while on detached duty
Mr.. George w. Tiedeman is a BUSH
ness man who possesses the conf
denee of tho community to a degree
oxcelled by few men. He was a member
of the Myers board two years ago and
came within twelve votes of being elected
a member of the present board. Mr. J
p. Williams is one Of Savannah's SUGGEST
fui business men. having been prominent
in the cotton and naval stores business
for years. Mr.. John j Horrgan is less
generally known, perhaps, than any other
member of the ticket. He is

Isaac G. Haas has been for years one of
the leading business men of the city
Capt NJ. j. Doyle has been a figure in
Savannahs political history for years. In

politics il is safe to say that his vote will
not likely be the lowest on the ticket. Capt

years on the aldermanic board
and two years in the legisla-
ture As captain of Company n Of the
Second Georgia regiment he was one of
the most popular company commanders in
the service. If the vote were left to Com

mously elected.

Tiedeman, Haas, Dixon Screyen, Schwarz.
Reynolds, Horrigan and Doyle reside in
