Mr.. R. Cain was the first speaker.
He said that he did not propose to
sling any mud, and neither did he.
He said that he wanted to speak a few
words for his friend, whom he is sup
porting not on the ground of friend
ship, but because of his worth. The
speaker said that if the opposition cam
didates could have found anything bad
to say about Mr.. Lazaron, they GER
tainly would have said it. He thought
if onehalf of what has been said about
the other candidates is true they have
no claim to the Office. Mr.. Cain said
that he wants to see the people put
their seal Of contemplation on anything
that winks at corruption. It was his
first political speech this year, he said,
and he remarked that in the past it
has been the case that a person in
any way connected with politics in
Savannah, has been slurred at and
suspicion has encircled him..
