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.

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. Alatters* andThin*s I.aconlcallv Muted. When it gets down to bogus telegrams you may know the oven is getting hot. Lester is tho only regular Democratic nominee for Mayor, as far as heard from. Economy is a good thing when you get the right man in office. Lester is that man. A bogus telegram signed “W. S. Walls,” was sent tc Col. Lester yesterday. It didn’t work. J. W. Winn, bill poster, is advertising the Jockey Club along the lino of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. Tom. Enwriglit will give a free election lunch at the Arcade saloon, corner Brough ton aud Drayton s reets, to-day. A worthy citizen trod on a banana skin on DioVton s'reet yesterday, aud sat down upon himeelf. He will he able, ho-ever, to hobble out and vote for Lester. Mr. Albert Morgan, editor of the Boston Saturday Evening Express, called on us yes terday. He will' leave for Florida 011 the Lizzie Baker next Wednesday. A horse stepped through the flooring on River street, opposite Paddleford’s wharf, yesterday. It was thought he had broken his leg, but he was rescued without serious injury. Tunis G. Campbell is detained in Atlanta by reason of an attempt to rescue him from the officers of the law by a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Tompkins sent a messenger to Darien on Friday for the record in Tunis’ case, and as scon as it arrives, he will pro ceed to the coal mines in Dade county. The Daily Telegraph, of St. John’s, N. B., says that the Rev. Timothy R. Harley, who formerly preached in Brussels street Baptist Church ill that city, died ricently at Brew ster, Maine. This* refers to Rev. Mr. Har 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. Hotel Arrivals.

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 House Ring. No Axe. The Elmwood collar, with all the edges folded, will fit better and wear loDger than any other. Frove this by trying. janllM 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.
