The Union clubs in the First district
held a rousing rally in Champion &
Evans Hall on West Broad street last
night. There was plenty of enthu-
siasm, entertaining speaking and an
attendance of about $50.
The followers of the club were elated
over the showing. j. R. Saussy, Jr.,
Esq, made his appearance and deliv-
cred a characteristic address. He said
that some time ago he formed po-
litical club of his own, with a MEM
bershiD of one. Then he decided to
look about and with the idea of con-
solidation in view attended several
meetings of various organizations.
After these visits he decided to con-
solidate his club of one with the I'm
ion Club.
Mr.. Saussy said that he had noted
carefully the persons who have been
attending the various meetings. The
Union Club, he said, is made up of an
entirely different class from the Citi-
zens' Club He said that he could tell
by the character of the men in the
Union Club that it is it's purpose to
give the city a good, clean, conserva-
tive and business administration when
it gets in power He said that there is
room for reformation, too, and that
while he does not believe in mud
singing, it is his opinion that every
public officer is open to criticism. Mr..
Sausssy told several characteristic
stories that entertained the crowd.
Joseph L. Kent said that some refer
ence had been made to the Union Club
as a band of buzZards. He declared
that the buzzard is most important
bird. 1t attracts attention as it grace
fully sails through the air and does
good, in that it swoops down on car
rion. The speaker said that the I'm
ion Club buzzards will swoop down on
the Citizens Club carrion and cause a
change of administration that will be
appreciated by the people. His ad-
dress was we'll received.
Charles G.. Edwards, Esq, urged
upon every citizen the necessity of reg
istering, and placing himself in a po-
sition to better the condition of the
city. Mr.. Edwards recalled some ref
erence that had been made to the coun-
try delegation that has not been in Sa-
vannah a great while. He said that
since he has been here he has endeav-
ored to faithfully post himself on the
true condition of affairs, and that in
his opinion the present administra-
ton is not in proper condition.
Gordon Saussy, Esq, predicted the
victory of the Union Club. He said
that he had conversed with many con-
sentative citizens, and that their ex-
pressions prompted him to make the
prediction. He found the conservative
element to a man for the Union Club
John E. Myrick, Esq, made an ad-
dress in which he criticised the Citi-
Zens' Club, and predicted a glorious
victory for the Union Club.
President Hollowell of Club No. 3 OF
the district called the meeting to or
der, and expressed satisfaction at the
large turnout. The South Side Unior
Club was in session only a very short
while at its hall, on Whitaker and
| Thirty second streets, and those mem
bers who were on hand repaired to the
rally on West Broad street.
