The silent Vote.

This election will be settled by silent
vote, of which nothing can now be pre-
dicted. The party managers on both sides
are agreed as to this. and in the privacy
of his Office neither Mr.. Jones nor Mr..
Hanna pretends to prophecy. 1t is only
the individuals who are betting four to
one on Mckinley who know just what
the workingmen and the small tradesmen
in the cities and the farmers and laborers
in the country are going to do on Tuesday
next. The rest of the world waits to
learn.
The best indication that the Repub-
fican leaders. from Mr.. Hanna down, re-
gard the result as in great doubt is their
phenomenal activity all over the country.
1t is not alone in New York. West Vir
ginia, Indiana and Illinois that Hanna is
marshaling his forces. His actions show
that he is not sure of New Jersey, Wis
consin or even Ohio. He is making des-
perate fight in Kentucky, and only within
the last few days has he really abandoned
Maryland
II Mr.. McKinIeys election were assured
these things would not be. Roosevelt and
Depew would be silent and the check
book would be shut up for good. Hanna
is as little political philanthropist as
he is a political prude. When the pur-
chase is made the deal is closed There is
no bonus.
The Democratic managers confidently
hope for the election Of Mr. Bryan because
they believe the silent vote referred TO is
his now. and will remain SO. But they do
not know this. What they do know is
that recent events in New York and
New Jersey furnish the indications of
the popular landslide to their can
didate upon which they have been
counting from the first. II Mr.. Bryan is
to reverse the verdict of 1895 the people
must be with him. He thinks they are,
and so do his managers. But they know
no more than Hanna.
Two simple but perfectly obvious facts
in connection with the silent vote have
not, however. failed to attract the atten-
tion Of conservative observers. II the
workingmen in the great manufacturing
cities have decided TO repudiate Mr..
Bryan they have kept the informa-
tion from their employers, who, having
most to gain, would be most apt to reward
them for IL. II, en- the other hand the
small tradesmen in both town and ooun-
try intend to vote for Mr.. Mckinley they
have not taken the bankers, upon whom
they rely for money favcrs, into their
confidence. Why this reticence on the
part of men whose minds are made up?
Why do they deliberately throw aside the
benefits which would accrue to them in
dividually once they came into the open
at the critical stage of the campaign and
proclaimed themselves for Mckinley? Yet
no one knows how these men-and there
are millions of them-intend to, vote
week before the election.
The wise man puts no trust in political
predictions The Democrats had no more
idea of defeat in 1855 than the Republic
cans had in 1854 and in 1892

Bishop C. *. Nelson of the Episcopal
diocese of Georgia, was in the city yes
terday and confirmed two classes. The
first was at ST. Johns Church, and the
second class was at St. Stephens Colored
Church.
The confirmation at St. Johns was at
8 o'clock in the morning, when thirty-one
candidates We're received. Eight of these
were men and twenty-three were women.
Six of the latter were married. The con-
firmation service was attended by a good
congregation.
Last night the Bishop confirmed at st.
Stephens. The church was filled by those
gathered for the service. In the class
there were nine candidates for confrma-
Bishops confirmation work in this sec
ton will be continued for two or three
days. This evening and tomorrow morn
ing he will receive classes at Pineora,
and tomorrow evening he will be in Pool
er for the same purpose.
Bishop Nelson preached two sermons In
Savannah, one at the IL o'clock service at
orv,se
firma ton of the class at St. Stephens.
His audiences greatly enjoyed his SER
mons.
At st. Johns the Bishops text was
taken from the ninth and tenth verses
Of the tenth chapter Of the Epistle to the
Hebrews: Then said He, 10, L come to
do Thy will, o God He taketh away the
first, that He may establish the second.
BY the which will we are sanctified
through the Offering of the body of Jesus
Cdrist once for ALL" The Bishop dwelt at
length upon the differences between the
Old and the New Testaments the principal
of which he mentioned as personal sane
LITIGATION. 1t is only in the New Tesla
ment that reference is made to this per-
sonal and individual sanctification His
most careful search of the Old Testament,
the Bishop said, had failed to reveal any
instance of this sanctihcation, for the ref
erences in that book are to the holiness
of God or the sanctification of a people
Not until the New Testament is read is
there aught found of personal sanctifca-
tian.
The church, the Bishop said is often re-
ferred to sarcastically by those who are
not of it as being the middle way, mean
ing the middle way between Rome and
Professionalism. He was inclined to ignore
the sarcasm and accept the term as des-
criptiVe of the church, for, if there is
middle way between heresy on the one
side and sch SIN on the other the church
takes that middle Way

DEATH OF MIR. T. II. ABRAHAMs.
He Was a Native of Charleston and a
Prominent Architect.

Prominent Architect.
Mr.. 7. H Abrahams died yesterday at
the home of his brother. Mr. E. s. Abra-
hams, on Bolton street.
Mr.. Abrahams was formerly a resident
of Charleston, where he was born in 1894.
Deciding to embrace architecture as a
profession, he started at the bottom and
learned the caPpentering trade and final
ly became member of the American In
stitute of Architects. The thoroughness
of his training is evinced in the many
handsome and substantial residences and
public buildings in Charleston erected
under his supervision. Recently at the
solicitation of his brother, he moved to
Savannah. but had just started in his pro-
fessional career here when cancerous
growth developed in his face, which final
ly caused his death.
At the breaking out of the Civil War
Mr.. Abrahams enlisted with the Sumter
red to the naval construction department
at Columbus Ga, where he served with
honor and distinction, remaining until he
joined Gen. Hardee's command in his re-
treat.
While he was a man who did not os-
tentatiously do much for charity, there
were none who quietly did more for the
poor and many will miss his kind minis
trations.
His funeral will take place this after
noon at O'Clock from the residence of
his brother, No 2i0 Bolton street, west.

Special Arrangements Hustler
Makes for Patrons.

The freight service inaugurated by the
street railway will afford to residents al
Thunderbolt, Isle of Hope and all inter
mediate points between there and Savan-

supplies First to grasp this advantage
was Logan, whose customers are scattered
all along the line. After his patrons get
all their things together they may deposit
them at Logan's depot, and there they
will be properly checked and shipped.

WILL REMOVE THE TRACK.

dersOn Street.

dersOn Street.
The Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railroad has decided to remove its
unused track on Anderson street. This
will be good news to che residents and
others who make use of the street, to
whom the track has been long standing
source of complaint.
The present track on Anderson street
was put down as part of the rearranged
system as the result of che agreement
reached with the last Council, the pur-
pose being to operate 1t as a part Of the
East Broad and West Broad street belt
II was found more convenient to make
use of the Duffy street track, only one
block to the north, and the Anderson
street track was accordingly discontinued.
Previous to the consolidation of the two
street railway systems the Anderson
street line was a part of the City and
Suburban Railway. When the system was
rearranged, however, the old track was
torn up and the street reiaid with new
rail The new rails were heavier than
the old and the track was raised some
what above the level of the street max
ing IL an obstruction of vehicles. AS the
rails are practically as good as new, they
will be used on other parts of the sys-
TEN. AS steel rails are worth about
twice what they were when this lot was
bought, the company is no loser by hav-
ing the lot on fits hands. The disused
track on Cemetery street, which was all
lowed to remain for some time after that
route was abandoned, was removed some
time since
