TOMORROW ENDS THE FIGHT.
THE CoUNTY's POLITICAL sQUAB-
BLEs WILL BE SETTLED THEN.

The Partisan Cohorts Are Being
Drilled and Prepared for the Fray.
Fight VIII BE One of the Closest
and Most Interesting In Chatham
Political History-Much-TalI of
Purging Committee Has Got Only
one Name OF the List-Mnnagers
Will BE Announced and Assigned
To-daS--RaIIy of the Citizens Club
Tonight Big Feature.
Tomorrow is the day of the primary.
To-day is the day of final preparation, and
the political cohorts are to be trained ana
drilled, and given final instructions as to
how and what they shall do. The result
of the fight is hidden in the womb of
time, and there seems 10 be no possibility
of a prema ture delivery.
AS yet the much-talked-of PurginS
Committee. from which so much was fear
ed has been able to remove from the
list of registered voters just one name.
That it Will succeed in greatly increasing
this number before the lines are drawn
and the polls are opened tomorrow morn
ing no one seriously believes. The fears
of the minority members of the Executive
Committee, as to the harm that the Purg-
ing Committee would be able to accom-
plish, seem so far now to have been base
less. If the will of the majority was
father to the thought, ID is very certain
that it was not father to anything more
tangible and substantial The list remains
practically as 1t was when 1t left the
hands of Registrar Sullivan, and win
probably remain so when 1t is turned over
to the managers of the election.
No managers have yet been announced.
1t is stated that these names will be
given in 20 the Subcommittee this
morning, and that when this is done the
positions of the several boxes will be de-
termined upon and managers for each of
them will be announced. 1t is expected
that several of the minority members Of
the Executive Committee, and possibly
some of the majority. will resign, and
that their places will be filed by others
selected by the two factions. Some of
the executive committeeman, indeed,
have already stated positively that they
would not serve as managers on the day
of the election.
The rally of the Citizens Club tonight
promises and doubtless will be one of the
big events of the campaign. Every effort
bers and enthusiasm the Liberal Club dem
onstration of Friday night and every faith
full follower of Mr.. Osborne has been urged
and will be expected to be on hand. The
issues of the campaign will be discussed by
Mr.. Osborne, Judge Twiggs. Mr.. J. Ferris
Cam and other prominent leaders and
speakers on the Citizens Club side.
One of the features of the campaign is
the introduction of a ticket with Mr.. A.
w. Harmon's name for county commits
sioner. The movement is understood to be
in opposition to Commissioner Dale
II Is a matter of public congratulation
that tomorrow will witness the end of the
campaign and that when the polls are
closed there will follow some surcease of
the political agitation that has been dis
turbing the city and the citizens for the
last month. The conservative element
is extraordinarily tired of it and unusually
anxious that there shall be no more of it.
1t has disturbed business and disrupted
some friendships, and it has been imcos-
sible for the quiet and peaceable and non
partisan citizen to see wherein lay its ad-
vantage TO him or. to the community
Therefore he is glad that an end to it all
is closely approaching.
