TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1875.
Tbe Election To-Day.
To-day will see the colmination of a very
spirited contest between two popular citi
zens for the Mayoralty—a contest that
promises to be as lively at the polls aa it
has been on the streets.
While there was any doubt as to who
would be the choice of the Democratic
party, the Morning News took no part in
the contest, except to afford a fair and im
partial hearing to both sides. As the mat
ter stands, however, we can do no less than
give a cordial and hearty support to Hon.
Rufns E. Lester. Ho is the regular nomi
nee of the Democratic party, and as such,
has claims upon all who desire to perpe
tuate that unity which has, thus far, saved
our city from that disastrous domination
which has desolated so many of our South
ern cities.
In addition to his party claims, Col Lester
possesses intellectual ability of ihe highest
order—is a steadfast and most fearless up
holder of the right and a persistent opponent
of wrong. His honesty and unflinching in
tegrity are matters of record, and few men
have the advantage of him in the possession
of those qualities which go to make up the
representative man.
If elected, Col. Lester will fill the office of
Mayor with distinguished ability, perfect
impartiality and absolute fidelity to the
public interests—and that is as much as can
be said of any one.
As will be seen by the proceedings else
where, the Radicals have concluded to lay
aside party considerations and vote for the
Democratic candidate. It is to their credit
that, in their first public recognition ot
honest worth and merit, they have con
cluded to support a gentleman whose
whole public and private career since the
war has been devoted to uprooting and
overturning Radicalism in Georgia ; a gen
tleman whose whole courso has been con
spicuously and unswervingly Democratic.
The Theatre.
The probabilities aro that the engage
ment of the Adelaide Phillipps Opera Conu
pany will prove very pleasant to our citizens
and profitable to the management. The
company appeared last evening in Rossini’s
“Barber of Seville,” a work that is justly
regarded as the best that versatile com
poser’s efforts. To a very powerful and
highly cultivated voice, Miss Phillipps, who
assumed the part of “ ltosiua, ” adds
dramatic capabilities of a very high order,
and deserved the hearty applause b?stowed
upon her by the pleased audience.
The arias, interludes and duets were ren
dered in the most charming manner, par
ticularly those where tho magnificent tenor
of Mr. Tom Karl mingled with the rich con
tralto of Miss Phillipps. We regret that the
space at our command does not admit of a
more extended notice. The compauy is
small, hut very effective, and, with the ad
dition of Miss Colville, who makes her first
appearance in America to-night, is fully up
to tho average of the Itiliau opera troupes
that play in New York. The audience was
larger than the unpropitious character of
the weather would have seemed to warrant,
and was very appreciative.
To-night Miss Colville will appear as
“ Norina,” i.i Don Pasquale.
The Radicals in Council.
The Radicals held a meeting at Mclntire’s
Hall last night for the purpose of taking
action in the election to-day. The meeting
was organized by electing James Sims,
Chairman, anil Theodore Basch, Secretary.
When the object of the meeting was stated,
Col. Atkins offered a resolution that Repub
licans should take no part in the election,
but should remain at home. The resolution
was supported by A. N. Wilson, J. G. Clark
and. James Porter, who advised that they
should not vote for Democrats under any
consideration, but should stay awav from
the polls and abstain from voting. Upon a
vote being taken the resolution was laid on
tho table. After other speeches, pro and
con, tho following resolution was offered by
Sir. Cantwell and carried, and upon motion
was made unanimous:
Resolved, That this meeting recommend
the Republicans of this city to vote for Col.
R. E. Lester for Mayor, with an independent
Board of Aldermen—not as Republicans,
but as citizens.
The meeting was then adjourned with
three rousing cheers.
Church Robbers.
The Bethlemen (colored) Baptist Church,
near Laurel Grove Cemetery, has been
entered by thieves twice, and robbed of
lamps, clock, table covers, curtains, etc.,
and on Friday night last a white man
named John Ironmonger, while attempting
to break into this same church was arrested
by a policeman and taken to the Barracks.
On yesterday Frank Lloyd, one of the
trustees of the church, appeared before
Justice Hart and had a warrant issued for
tho arrest of Ironmonger, charging him
with an attempt to commit a felony. He
was arrested by Officer Campbell and com
mitted to jail.
The Radical Vote To-Day.
The animus of the advertisement headed
“Rally Republicans!” will be readily under
stood by every intelligent Democratic voter.
It is a very shallow attempt to make it ap
pear that the friends of Col Lester have been
making overtures to the Radicals. Those
who know Col. Lester know that lie would
scorn to be elected by any movement that
has even the appearance of throwing out
the smallest bait to Radicalism. For our
part we congratulate the Ridicals that they
have concluded to support a gentleman
whom they know to be unalterably opposed
to every article in their polit cal creed.
A Slight Mistake.
In the Advertiser of the 17th appears an
article headed “ A Sailor on Municipal Af
fairs,” in which it speaks of Captain David
Burt, as a British subject and a Captain of a
British bark. It is duo to Captain Burt to
stato that he is neither a British subject,
nor does he command a British bark, but
that he is a naturalized American citizen
and commands an American vessel, hence
the interest he manifests in seeing Savan
nah get into the hands of the right men.
Republican Blues.
At a meeting of tho above company, held
at their ball last night, final arrangements
were made for the hop which takes place at
the hall to-morrow night. The following
Committee of Arrangements, namely:
Veteran H. M. C. Smith, First Sergt. F. C.
Haupt, and Sergt. J. H. Griffin, is a sufficient
guarantee that everything will bo done to
make the occasion a pleasant one and the
bop a success. We acknowledge an invita
tion to be present.
Fate of a Rice Raiser.
Joe Key, negro, has for some months past
been stealing rice from the plantation of
Mr. Mitchell King, on Hutchinson’s Island.
A warrant was taken out some time since
for his arrest, but he eluded the vigilance
of the officers until Sunday. On that day,
thinking no one would be on tho lookout, he
ventured to come into the city, and was
pounced upon by* a constable, who took him
to jail on a commitment from Justice Smith.
Assault ami Boot cry.
Three colored men named respectively
Lawrence Brown, Edward Brown and Henry
Legree, assaulted another colored individ
ual bearing the name of Cassius Connelly,
near the market on Saturday, striking him
in the head with a hammer, knocking him
down, and booting him around generally.
Thev were arrested yesterday afternoon on
a warrant issued hv Justice Marsh, and be-
in" unable to give bonds, w» re sent to Rus-
Beil’S hotel for tho benefit of their health.
Tally Sheets.
Justice Isaac Russell and Mr Charles J.
White were employed by the Clerk of the
Citv Court to make the tally sheets and
return sheets for the election of Mayor and
Aldermen, which they have completed. They
are beautiful specimens of penmanship, and
reflect credit on the artists.
Renovating.
Justice Berrien has carpenters at work
renovating and refitting his magisterial of
fice. He has associated with him Officer
Beni D. Morgan, who has been duly com
missioned, and they will soon be m first-
class working order.
Charged With Riot.
Magistrate Russell had an examination
vesterdav into the case of six dark com-
elected coons, charged with riot, but the evi
dence did not sustain the charge and under
the “game law” tho coons were liberated.
Railroad Mutual Building and Loan As-
soeiation.
At the meeting of tho Railroad Mutual
Building and Loan Association held last
night, §6,000 were Bold at twenty-six per

MISS VIOLETTA COLVILLE.
1 COMMUNICATED. J
WHO PAYS FOR THE MUSIC f
Sketch of the Young American Priiua
Donna. . ^ Word to the Workingmen of .Savannah.
The youthful American pnma douna so
prano sfogato is at present in our city, and
to Miss Adelaide Phillips are we indebted for
the unexpected pleasure that awaits us of
hearing her in opera this evening. Very
great interest is attached to this perform
ance, for although Miss Colville has ap
peared in selections from opera in New York
and other cities m the United States with
great success, yet the fitting opportunity
has not presented itself for her performance
of a f ull opera, and this may be claimed as
her operatic debut before her own country
men, notwithstanding credentials show that
she sang for two seasons in Italy with the
greatest distinction and is not yet twentv
years of age—the youngest prima donna
of her attainments known to the lyric stage.
These facts awakened our curiosity, and
we have been to some pains to know tuat
the musical journals of Paris in 18G9 spoke
of a young American girl, under the tuition
of Mr. Wartel, who enjoys the ho.iorof hav
ing trained Mile. Nilsson. The young girl
was described as fourteen and a half years
old, and as having been introduced to Mr.
Wartel by Sir Julius Benedict, of London.
She was* named Violetta Colville, and the
journal stated that Wartel speaks of her with
all the enthusiasm of a delighted master,
and with the competent appreciation of a
professor who, from vast experience, thor
oughly understands that of which he speaks:
“Itas a Malibran I shall produce; she has
the sacred tire ; she always overcomes me ;
she apprehends too quickly ; she has the
most beautiful musical organization I ever
met with in my life. I shall bring her out
at eighteen, and I ask Providence to bless
me with life till then. In three years we
shall have a Malibran.”
At the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian
war. Miss Colville was compelled to leave
Paris, and being recommended to Herr
Rebbling (a pupil of Garcia), of Leipsic, she
was placed under his instruction and re
sided at Leipsic for two years, during which
time frequent mention was made of her ap
pearance at social concerts, and notably at a
Oeuovolent benefit given at the Gwandhause,
and at a court concert at Wiemer, presided
over by the AbbeLizt, where the great oian-
ist accompanied her himseif, aud proclaimed
with his characteristic enthusiasm that she
possessed “tho feeling of Malibran aud the
voice of .Sontag.”
Early in 1872 we fiud her passing operas
uuder Signers San Giovani aud Gueuzati at
Milano, Italy, and in tho CiUadino of Savo-
nia, Italy, September 9th, 1872, we read of
her as meeting with enormous success in
“Elixir d’Amore” and “liigoletto.” Next
we read of her in Milan, and iu the spring of
1873 of her meeting her father in London:
of the offers of engagements then tendered
her; of their refusal by her father o*i
account < f immaturity of age, and of h< r
return to Italy for further practice; of her
appearance as “Linda” at theTeatro Munic
ipal of Piacenza, choosing the engagement
there iu preference to offers from Naples,
Milan, Leghorn, Parma, Verona, Cadiz,
Odessa, Warsaw and other places of South
ern Europe. Here she also appeared as
“Marguerite” with remarkable success, and
at the carnival of 1873-74 she appeared at
the Tcatro Nuevo, Verona, especially en
gaged for the operas of “Dinorab” and
“J’Puritaui.” AH the musical world is
familiar with tho*800110 that occurred at
Verona tho first night of the production of
“Diuorab,” when Miss Colville sustained
the title role, and also made her debut in that
critical city. Her achievement upon the
occasion was in many respects exceptional
on the operatic stage. Tho orchestra was
pronounced “infernal,” tho mise en scene
“disgraceful,” the teuor “a fraud,” tho
haritoiio “unfit for his part,” and the
chorus aud mouuting of tho opera “an
insult to art and tho public;” and yet,
despite all, our young countrywoman
sustained herself, and won a double tri
umph. “Lucia di Lainmermoor” was sub
stituted for “Dinorab,” until a new compa
ny could be eugagod satisfactory to the
public, and iu both operas the “little Amer
ican,” (as she was called,) was in the high
est degree successful. Wo next hear of
Miss Colville in Germany by invitation,
debating the acceptance of the position held
by Peshka Leutner. Again her father de
clines on account of the period being for six
years. He meets his daughter iu Loudon;
Maplesou of Her Majesty’s opera wants to
engage her, so does Uze of Covea Gar
den, but for a term of years with exclusive
control of her professional services and for
small compensation, virtually spying: “We
hold tho key to fame which yields fortune,
you must submit to our. terms, else you will
not get an appearance iu London or Pans.”
The father again says “No 1 decidedly no !
We have a mart acres* the Atlantic, and wn
will see whettier this young, fresh voice and
dramatic merit will not be appreciated
there. My daughter shall accompany me
home.”
Mr. Sam’l Colville, the fa her of the young
lady, a successful dramatic manager of
greai practical experience, informs us that
the Strackoshs, of New York and Pans, are
endeavoring to establish the same system
of engagements iu the United States, and
that it is next to an impossibility for a lyric
artist to obtain the proper appearance in the
metropolitan cities 11 connection with their
company, unless submitting to thoir terms,
which throws the revenue of tho artist into
the impressario's treasury for a number of
years, and to this state of things, aud the
geneious feeling of a sister artiste—Miss
Adelaide Phillips—aro we indebted for Miss
Colville s appearance in Savannah this eve-
iiiug.

The Daily Telegraph, of St. John’s, N. B.,

formerly preached in Brussels street Baptist
Church ill that city, died ricently at Brew

ley, pastor of the Baptist Church in Savan-
nau, who showed us the paper alluded to,
and gave us the additional information that
if ho was dead he didn’t know it.

Consistency! Thou art a Jewel.”
When McGowan, Bee, Renan, and others
ran as independents against th6 regular
Democratic nominees at the late county
election, many of the party now supporting
♦‘independent” Mayor Anderson, were
blatant in their abuse of those who “would
snlit the Democratic party by such radical
conduct.” Much as I admire Col. Anderson
I cannot support him in the unfortunate
stand he has taken; to sustain him would be
to disrupt ihe Democratic party and tbe
entering wedgo by which finally our city
would fall into the hands of the Custom

The election to-day will determine the
I question whether or no you will consent to
i retain a party in office who are not studying
your interests, but their own. Read and
ponder the following points:
The officeholders are the servants of the
people. Now the election question is one of
business, not of sentiment, lou, upon whom
falls the weight of every public misfortune,
cannot afford to be troubled with sentiment.
It is a matter of bread and butter with the
most of yon, and the lower tlietaxes|ibe
lower your rent.
The*offiee of Jailer pays at presei t? , 0
Who pafs it ? You do. Will you consent to
pay $2,500 for what good and*true men will
do for $1,200 or $1,500 ? Will you, as iree-
men, allow your servant to intrigue for a
salary you are not willing to give ? Can
you best »w anything but odium upon the
man who would take your rights away from
you and in his turn become tlie boss? What
right had he, what right had the Legisla
ture, to vote your money away ? In the
principles of abstract justice the Legisla
ture had no right to increase the salary of a
servant of you. the citizens of Savannah,
any more than it has to take money from
your pockets. Will you, theo, vote for a
City Council who knowingly do not seek to
prevent this evil ? Away with them !
The office of Clerk of Council pays $2,000.
I am reliably informed that a certain party
offered 10 do the work for $1,200.
The city printing was given out at $1,500.
The lowest bid was $800. Why was it ig
nored when the bidder offered good aud
sufficient bond to perform .the work ? Won’t
you demand an explanation of these things ?
Awav with a City Council that thus votes
your money away. If the laws are wrong,
put men in office who will correct them.
How about the office of Chief of Police, of
which, it is reported, thnt one or two hour’s
work per day is sufficient to satisfy this
equation: 365 plus one or two hour’s work
equals $2,500? Can’t you get a man to do
the work and devote all the time to the city
for $1,500? Do vou want men to draw pay
when no equivalent is given for it? Wnat
about the office of Recorder? Could not the
Mayor or Chief of Police discharge those
duties? Workingmen of Savannah, you are
governed too much.
liemembrr high taxes mean high rents:
high rents mean high provisions; high pro
visions mean poverty aud starvation.
As to tne brain Dower to perform public
duties, rest assured that the Bauie emergen
cies that created the need of high mental
power at the same time created the means
of obtaining that mental power. It strikes
me we can afford to do away with the brain
power which, at the last meeting of the City
Council, voted $2,500 of your money to the
higest bidders.
\Vorkingmen, let your ballots this day
show that you are still freemen, aud hold
the right vested in you by the God who
made you, of having your work done at the
market value. Never submit to the domina
tion of cliques aud families. Let your votes
be cast for Lester, remembering always
that “eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty.” Tax-Payer.
How Savannah is Progressing—A Nice
Exhibit.
Editor Morning Aeics •
We are frequently asked to gaze with grati
tude upon the evidences of the wisdom with
which our city affairs are administered, and
to recount with awe the admit able progress
which Savannah has made under the man
agement of the Mayor aud Board of Aider-
men who are “independent” candidates for
re-election. So often has th<s been the case
that I had really begun to think the city was
getting on swimmingly.
But, alas! my foud hopes are shattered
by inexorable figures. In 1873 the value of
city property in Savaunah, according to the
official return in the Comptroller General's
Report, was $14,384,890. The same property
(quoting from the samo authority) is valued
iu 1874 at $12,874,090. That is to say, under
the admirable, tho wise, the economical ad
ministration of our municipal affairs whicli
has lately prevailed, the decrease iu the
value of city property has, in one year,
reached the enormous amount of one mil
lion FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN THOUSAND
EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS ! Iu AugUfta, just
up the river,property has increase! in value
$447,800 within the same period.
ibis contraat is particularly sharp and
suggestive. Why should property decrease
in Savaunah an! increase in Augusta? In
other words, why should one city be pros
pering and the other decaying? It isn’t in
the commerce, it isn’t in the climate, it isn’t
in tiie geographical situation, and it isn’t on
account of the late monev panic, for in that
case Augusta would bo affected as visibly as
Savannah. The solution to the mystery
doesu’t lie in any of these things. The de
cadence of Savaunah is the lesnlt of had
management iu our municipal administra
tion. That is the long and short of it. It
r quires tact, talent and ability of the very
highest order to successfully manage the
aff lira of a large city like Savannah, aud if
the tax-payers la}* the flittering miction to
their souls that they will prosper with bad
management on the part of their city ad
ministration, they must take the conse
quences.
As one way out, I would suggest that, by
way of variety, they vote for Col. Rufus E.
Lester, together with a good Board of Al
dermen, and see what effect it would havu
upon the prosperity of the city.
Old-Fashioned Democrat.
A Word lo Democrat**.
Editor Morning Xews:
I desire through your columus to address
a word to the Democratic voters of the city
of Savannah. It is well known to them—or
at least it should be—that Col. Anderson is
not the Democratic candidate for Mayor. 1
take it for granted that this fact is too no
torious to need any mention here.
This, however, is not all. C»»l. Anderson
is not even the nominee of ihe people, nor,
so far »s numbers are concerned, of a n-
spectable fraction of the people. Ho was
nominated by a few nun, who, after calling
a meeting (and thereby solemnly pledging
thems *lves to abide by its decision) refuse' 1
to support tho gentleman 10 :iina:e!. N t
only did they refuse to support tho elicit e
of the party, but, in defiance of every Demo
cratic rule* and precedent, withdrew then-
discomfited forces and repaired to a privato
office and there pretended to nominate Col.
Anderson.
In view of ail these things, the advice I
would give to every Domocraric voter in the
city is this: Make up your own ticket. Pot
at the head of it the' name of Hon. R. E.
Lester, the regular Democratic nominee.
Then select Aldermen to suit your own ideas
of public economy. There is good material
in the old Board and good material outside
of it. Iu this manner, notwithstanding the
confusion that a clique has attempted to
create, we may get a wise aud really
economical city government.
Bnt it should Dot bo forgotten that Col.
Lester was regularly nominated by the
Democrats in an open-air meeting and not
in a secret gathering in a back-room on Bay
street. Let us go in for what is fair anil
square. Workingman.
/ “ Ways that are Dark,”
Editor Morning Neics :
I rise for information. Are we to have a
revival and a repetition of the politics of
1854 ? Are the days of pass-words and star-
chamber caucuses to be repeated ? I must
confess it has that appearance to me. Hun
dreds of our older citizens will recall Ihe
tumult and excitement of the “psss-word ’
regime in 1854, and will no doubt deplore
aDy attempt to return to that system.
The friends of Col. Anderson pretended
to be in favor of a fair aud square nomina
tion until they tested it; but as soon as tbe
meeting (called in the interest ol their can
didate) vociferously declared for Rufus F.
Lester, they bolted the nomination, assem
bled in secret conclave in a back-room,
and, in defiance of every principle of De
mocracy, justice and fair-dealing, proceeded
to nominate their favorite. Failing in
thoir appeal to a mass meeting of the Demo
cratic party, they fell back upon their own
resources, Violating the very rules whic'i
they themselves proposed to set up. Tlrs
sort of thing ia thinner thau a hole in the
wall.
The regular Democratic nominee is Col.
Rufus E. Lester. Lampsune.
. a Tho Jewel of Consistency.
Editor Morning Neivs:
What a spectacle is presented to our view
in the present municipal contest! A clique
call a meeting iu the open air, thinking to
pass a set of cat and dried resolutions and
nominate the old Board. They organize
the meeting and then spring their resolu
tions. The meeting—the people—to whom
that clique appealed refused the bolus pre
pared for them, and nominated the Honora
ble Rufus E. Lester.
But lo! and behold! the very men who
called the meeting, sign a petition request
ing the defeated candidate—Anderson—to
run anyhow. It remains for the people to
do bnt one thing : Mark the bolters and re
pudiate them, lock, stock aud barrel, iu fu
ture.
Beyond all question, Rnfus E. Lester is
the choice of tne people, and if he is de
feated by his “ independent ” opponent, the
Democratic party in our city will be dead be
yond the hope of resurrection, for then,
truly, wiU it be proved that it is simply a
thing, to be thrown aside when not submis
sive enough to be manipulated by its self-
consdtuied master. Consistency.
How is This t
Editor Morning Xetcs :
I am informed that fifty out of tbe one
hundred and twenty-six names appended to
the paper requesting Col. Anderson and the
old Board of Aldermen to serve again, do
not appear upon the registry list. Hanging
thus upon the ragged edge of curiosity, I
would rite to ask, how is this ?
Ixquuuts,
I A Card from Gea. Henry S. Jackson.
Editor Morning Xeics:
Mr. Editor—A writer over the signature
, of “Savannah,” used in your columns of
; yesterday the following language in regard
j to the meeting of Friday afternoon :
“It was called in the interests of Anderson,
' and was supposed to be organized in his in
terests. Gen. Jacksou was elected ebair-
■ man, and he is quite too observant to have
failed to see that Anderson’s partizans
looked to him for a cue as to the proper
time to accomplish their designs. This was
pa pable from the first, but I desire to put
upon record, to the lasting credit of
Gen. Jackson, that he failed to give tbit
cue. From first to last, he bore himself
fairly aud impartially, and thu^, in a mea
sure, defeated any ad captaudum proceed
ings that may have been contemplate!. He
not only promptly suppressed any ma .Ges
tations of disorder, but insisted on applying
the strictest parliamentary rales to every
motion.”
The fact that these words are compliment
ary to myself leaves me no escape from the
distasteiul duty of reappearing before the
public. I cannot allow my silence to be con
strued by “ijavannuh,” or by any one else,
into an admission of the correctness of his
statements by an acceptance of the praise
he bases upon them. He is mistaken iu sup
posing that I was “quite loo cdtsercant not to
see that Anderson's j>artisans looked to (me)
for a cue as to the proper time to accomplish
tfLeir designs,” and that “Ifailed to give that
cue." I must needs repeat again that I was
requested to preside over that meeting as the
partisan, or in behalf of ihe partisans of no
man, and to say further that I neither saw
nor heard anything, either before or during
the meeting, to indicate that the gentlemen
who had signed the call, or any person, or
persons, who might be supposed to be
“partisans of Anderson,” were false to the
duty it imposed by attempting through
“ad captandum proceedings, n or by “disor
derlyr” conduct, to stifle the popu ar voice;
and that, had the meeting seen fit to per
fect tho usual purpose of such organization,
by making a nomination of a full ticket for
Mayor and Aldermen, had it not been vio-
lentiv and prematurely destroyed by the
interposition of another, the same fairness
which commands the approval of “Savan
nah,” would have characterized its pro
ceedings to their legitimate end.
Yours respectfully,
Henry R. Jackson.
“ Like Sheep to the Slaughter.”
Editor Morning Neics:
It is known that Col. Rufus E. Lester’s
enemies have a large number of registered
tickets in their possession, which they ex
pect to vote to-day—men in their employ,
who are under their thumbs, to be voted
like so many sheep. It is suspected that
even where some of these men are depend
ent for their daily bread, their native hon
esty and manhood will rebel against being
forced in such a manner. Let the managers
of the election see to it that everj one shall
have free liberty of choice. Fair Play.
To Ihe Small Properly-Holder*.
It has been asked by 6omo what will wc
do if we fail to re-elect Audcrson ahd the
old Board? The banks, they say, wont ac
commodate the city. Why, then, say I, let
ns get along without appealing to the banks.
Rufus E. Lester has the conUdenco of the
private capitalists of onr city, whoso com
bined resources will be at his service as
Mayor. It is preposterous to assert that no
man bur. Anderson can run the city govern
ment. If wlial his friends say be true, he
ought to*bo made Mayor for life.
Common Sense.
Economy.
So we must support our present Mayor
and Aldermen on the score of economy.
Oh! my countrymen, how gullible we are.
Have your taxes been increased or not?
Has your property increase 1 in value 01
not? Duriug Mr. Anderson’s Mayorship
your taxes have been iucreased twenty per
cent, and your property decreased in value-
forty per ceut.
Intelligent tax-payer, iudge the tree by
the fruit it has borne, and vote for Rnfus E.
Lester, for a change is necessary. Tax.
Back-ICowui Nomination*,
Editor Morning Neics :
In my opinion Col. Rufus E. Lester will
be elected Mayor of Savannah to-day; but if
he is not, I can very safely predict that the
system of back-room nominations, so pleas-
antlv organized by a handful of noble “Dem
ocrats, ’ will return like a boomerang sooner
or later. Tiny can’t oscape it. They have
deliberately sought to create confusion ir.
the party, and m doimr so have established
a precedent that will eventually bring them
to grief. Pistarke.n*.
“.Money JIw«t.”
Editor Morning News:
I am informed that there was a very suc
cessful effort made yesterday among th<
friends of the bolting candidate for Mayor
to raise money to use in the election to-day.
I am not sorry of this ; for if the friend*
of Col. Les*er will only stir themselves at
the poils they will be able to show that a
very large margin exists between the mach
inations of tho money influence and un
bought popularity. Rory.
