CHOOSING THE SENATOR.
FIVF. HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEV
EN BALLOTS TAREX,
The Eden Convention Adjourn* With
out a Choice—Fighting the Contest on
Territorial Issu?*— Capt. Falligant,
Coi. Bird and Mr. Smith the Candi
dates—The Outlook for a Nomination
To-Day.
The Senatorial situation in the First
district is yet full of uncertainty. The
Eden Convention met yesterday at noon,
and at 9 o’clock last night, having failed
to agree upon a nomination after 557 bal
lots, adjourned until noon to-day. The
contest has reached a most interesting
stage# No one familiar with the po
litical events of the First district
during the past few years and the contest
of two vears ago can fail to appreciate
the extent to which old antagonisms and
personal, as well as sectional, issues en
ter into the fight. The contest two years
ago was hot enough between Morgan
Rawls and Peter W. Meldrim. The district
had been shaken up by them, severally
and collectively. No part of it had been too
remote for their friends to reach, and no
individual with the slightest influence had
been left unvisited. With that contest
in mind, and with a number of the same
delegates in the convention, the present
fight was entered into with a determina
tion of purpose strengthened by expe
rience.
Although a spirited convention was an
ticipated it was the general belief that a
nomination would be reached without an
adjournment. The Cnatham delegation
went up on the early train and reached
Eden about 11 o’clock. The convention
met at noon in the Central Railroad ware
house. and was called to order by Col.
Edward Bird, Chairman of the Effingham
countv Democracy. Dr. W.T. McCon
nell, of Effingham, was made Temporary
Chairman, and B. H. Richardson, of
Chatham, Temporary Secretary. The cre
dentials of the delegations from fce three
counties composing the district were
submitted. There were no contesting
delegations, and the following were ad
mitted to seats in the convention:
BRYAN.
R. F. C. Smith, Thos. C. Morgan.
CHATHAM.
D.C. Bacon, H. M. Comer,
Charles Kolshorn, A. R. Lawton, Jr.,
B. H. Richardson, J. C. DeLettre.
EFFINGHAM.
W. T. McConnell, Angus Bird.
A permanent organization was effected
bv the election of the Temporary Chair
man and Secretary as permanent officers.
As soon as the organization was com
plete, Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, moved
that the counties be called for the pre
sentation of candidates.
Mr. Smith, of Bryan, believed that be
fore anv business was brought before the
convention the rules governing the ballot
6hould lie determined. He moved the
adoption of the two-thirds rule in ballot
ing for candidates and the parliamentary
usages of tno House of Representa
tives for the general government of
p® The motion was
carried. Mr. Lawtou, who,
in dtdereml'lWwOlr. Smith,had withdrawn
his v-j’h the call of
counties, a-rairresJ” and it was
carried. >ir r 3%i
When Chatham call
Mr. Lawton, in a handsome pre
sented to the convention the name
ot Capt. Robert Falligant. In doing so
he was conscious of the honor that de
\olved upon him in naming a gentleman
who was not only known in Chatham,
Bryan and Effingham counties, but
throughout the whole State. He was
aware of his ability to represent the in
terests ot Savannah, of the other counties
composing the district, and the entire
commonwealth. He had received the
indorsement of Chatham county by an
overwhelming vote, and it was
with a teeling of extreme
pride that he had been called
u(hjii to present to the convention a man
so high-minded, so public-spirited and so
thoroughly able and competent to repre
sent all the interests of the First Sena
torial district.
Mr. Bird, of Effingham, presented the
name of John W. Wilson.
On the first ballot Bryan and Effingham
voted for Mr. Wilson and Chatham for
Mr. Falligant. The result was: Falligant
0, Wilson 4.
When Brvan county was called for the
second ballot Mr. Morgan presented to
the convention tbe name ot Henry E.
Smith, an old, tried and true Democrat,
and a man whom he believed to be in
every way competent to represent the in
terests of the district. He cast the
vote of Bryan county in his favor.
Chatham cast its vote solid for Capt.
Falligant and Effingham for Mr. Wilson.
On the third ballot Mr. Bird withdrew
the name ot Mr. Wilson, and cast the vote
of Effingham for Mr. Smith. The ballot
then stood: .Falligant 6, Smith 4, The
fourth ballot was the same as the third,
and up to the sixty-first it continued un
changed. It began to look like a repetition
of the persistent balloting in the Congres
sional convention which nominated Hon.
Thomas M. Norwood in July. The situa
tion was a deadlock. It was seen at once
that no nomination could be made unless
either the friends of Capt. Falligant or
Mr. Smith yielded so far as to allow the
seventh vote to be cast in favor of the oil
position candidate.
When the sixty-first ballot had been an
nounced Mr. Morgan said in behalf of the
delegation from Bryan that he had come
to the convention determined to abide by
Democratic principles. He could see
nothing to lie gained in the balloting as
it had progftssed thus tar, and he there
fore withdrew the name of Mr. Smith.
Mr. K. F. C. Smith then placed before
the convention the name of Col. Edward
Bird, of Effingham.
The sixty-second ballot was taken re
sulting: Falligant 6, Bird 4—Chatham
holding firm to her candidate.
Tbe situation began to resolve itself
into a test of endurance. Neither delega
tion manifested any disposition to yield
to the other, and the balloting con
tinued with the same result
until the one hundredth ballot
had been announced, when a recess was
taken. A caucus was held and an effort
was made to unite upon either one or the
other of the candidates. The effort was a
failure, and balloting was resumed and
continued up to the ouq hundred and
twenty-filth ballot with the same result.
On the one hundred and twenty-sixth
ballot Bryan county cast its vote again
for Smith, and the Chairman’s call of
Smith 2, Falligant 6. Bird 2, kept up until
the two hundredth ballot was reached,
when the convention adjourned for din
ner. It was believed that this would
harmonize the opposing elements and
that a nomination would be shortly
1 -ached. But it proved not to be the case.
The issue was like that in the Congres
sional Convention—altogether sec
tional. The country claimed the
right by rotation to name the
nominee. Chatham, with its great inter
ests at stake, and with a candidate in
dorsed by the county by an overwhelming
vote, stood equally firm in tbe belief that
the right ot nomination belonged to it.
Up to the adjournment for dinner the bal
loting had progressed quietly and with
no speeches beyond those made in pre-
the candidates, to urge their
claims for tbe nomination.
After dinner the contesting delegations
met in caucus and attempted to effect a
compromise whereby a nomination could
be reached. It was seen at once that this
was impossible, and balloting was re
sumed. The Chairman and Secretary be
tran to tire of the work, which devolved
heavily upon them, and Mr. Lawton
took the chair with Mr. DeLettre
Secretary. On the two hundred and
forty-first ballot Chatham cast one vote
for Smith and five for Falligant, making
the ballot: Smith 3, Falligant 5, Bird 2.
On the next ballot Effingham went over
to Smith, making the vote a lie between
the Chatham and Bryan county candi
dates. On the two hundred and fiftv
tirst ballot Chatham cast two votes for
Smith. As the Chairman announced,
“Smith 6, Falligant 4,’’ it began to look
as though things were coming to a focus.
Mr. Smith needed but one more vote to
secure the nomination, and his friends
were elated over his probable choice.
The vote continued in this way up to the
two hundred and fifty-ninth ballot, when
Chatham wfcnt back to Falligant and
Bryan's hopes were blasted. Effingham
dropped back to Bird, and the two hun
dredth and sixtv-tirst ballot stood: Smith
2, Chatham 6, Effingham 2. On the very
next ballot Chatham went over to Bird
with 1 vote. Bryan followed suit and the
two hundred aud sixty-sixth ballot
stood 5 and 5 between Falligant and Bird.
It continued this way for some time,
when Chatham went back to her first
choice. The situation was clearly one to
be determined only by sitting it out till
one or the other delegations yielded.
After a steady vote without any indica
tions of a change beyond the occasional
coquetting of Chatham between Bryan
and Effingham, a recess was taken. The
contesting delegations again met in cau
cus, but were able to accomplish noth
ing toward an adjustment of the differ
ences that existed. . ...
When the three hundred and thirteenth
ballot bad been announced, Maj. Bacon
inquired, on behalf of the Chatham dele
gation. what objection there was to Capt.
Falligant as the choice of the convention.
He had heard it whispered that there
were serious objections to him, and he
wanted to know what they were.
Mr. Smith, of Bryan, to whom the re
quest of Maj. Bacon was addressed, said
he had not been authorized by the liryan
delegation or the Effingham delegation
to speak for them, and whatever he should
say would be in his own behalf'. So far
as he knew there was not one single ele
ment of unkindly feeling In the conven
tion towards Capt. Falligant. The issue
he did not regard a personal issue, but he
charged that the principles adopted by
Chatham had drawn tbe line between
Chatham and the country- Ever since
the First Senatorial district was
organized, twenty-four years ago, he said
the Senator had been from Chatham, but
now the time had come when the rotation
rule should be acquiesced in. He voted
against Capt. Falligant not because he
had the slightest feeling of unkindness to
ward him, but because he believed it right
that the country should have its just rights
and be accorded the voice of the nomina
tion. He did not believe because Chatham
had the majority and the power to elect
at the polls, that in justice, equity and
right it should have the power to dictate
to the country what it should do. So Ur
as any report’s against Capt. Falligant’s
character and honor, he knew of none,
and in his mind Cant. Falligant needed
no vindication.
Mr. Lawton differed with Mr. Smith on
the question of sectional issues. He be
lieved Mr. Smith’s objections
on that ground to be defeated
by his own words. On the
first ballot Bryan and Effingham voted
for Mr. Wilson, a Chatham county man.
He believed the issue to have a deeper sig
nificance than that. Be pointed to Chat
ham county as the only county in the
State with a majority of the votes in the
Senatorial district. As tq Chatham dic
tating to the couutry, he asked what
method would it have been most
likely to adopt in the organization—the
majority rule—with a precedent in
the State Convention and in forty-three
Senatorial districts in the State. It was
not the purpose of Chatham to gag the
other counties in the district or it would
hay© been most likely to have done so at
ttlG oUtß6t
‘ Mr. Smith explained why the votes of
Brvan and Effingham were cast for Mr.
Wilson. It was because he was born and
reared with them that they felt it their
privilege and their duty and right to give
him their vote, and they did. so. If
Chatham, he said, had given him their
voice he would have been the nominee of
the convention. The balloting was again
resumed, and up to the three hundred and
twenty-fifth ballot it stood, Smith 2, Fal
ligant 6, Bird 2.
The work of the convention by this time
had begun to be tiresome, and only those
required to cast the vote of their delega
tion remained in the building. The others
disposed of themselves to the best ad
vantage and their comtort. Another re
cess was finally taken, after which the
balloting was begun again, and continued
essentially unchanged until the four hun
dredth ballot had been announced.
It began to grow dark in the warehouse,
and, there being no lights, another recess
was taken. The Secretary had exhausted
the available supply of stationery, and a
recruiting expedition was organized to
replenish supplies. JTpon convening at
7 o’clock Maj. Bacon, in order to obtain
the views of the candidates upon issues
likely to be brought before the
next session of tne Legislature, moved
that each of the candidates present be in
vited to address the convention, and that
one of the Chatham delegation represent
Capt. Falligant in his absence. The mo
tion was carried, and Maj. Bacon and H.
M. Comer were appointed a committee to
extend the candidates the courtesies of
the floor.
Mr. Smith, the candidate of Bryan
county, was invited to the floor. He re
viewed the history of the First Senatorial
district from its formation. If lie should
be the choice of the convention, and
should be elected to the Legislature, it
would be his purpose to promote a 11 public
measures that he believed to be right and
just. The question of the sale of the State
Itoad would be likely to come up before
the next Legislature. He was opposed to
its sale. He was also rigidly opposed to
the Railroad Commission. He had no idea
taat there would be any chance for a re
peal of the bill, but he believed the power
cf the Commission, now arbitrary, should
be modified. He was in lavor of guarding
the State Treasury. He was op
posed to appropriating the State’s
money to equip the State militia to orna
ment "the streets of cities and towns by
parades. He did not profess to be a law
yer, nor to have a legal education, but he
did profess to have some knowledge of
legislation, and he believed no man could
carry into the Senate chamber a heart
more honest In intent than he.
Mr. Lawton, so far as he was acquaint
ed with Capt. Falligani’s views of legisla
tive affairs, outlined his position. He was
unable to speak authoritatively in regard
tu his views on the Railroad Commission,
but he could quote his position in regard
lo the military movement that was
springing up all over the State with
a view to securing the advancement ol
the militia, and its better and more
adequate equipment as the bulwark of
the State’s safety.
Col. Bird stood where he understood
Capt. Falligant to stand on the Railroad
Commission and the military movement.
The former he believed should have its
powers curtailed. He believed it to be
always the State’s duty to aid and en
courage the military.
After the speeches by the candidates de
fining their position, balloting was
resumed and continued until four hun
dred and eighty ballots were taken.
Mr. Kolshorn at this juncture said it
might not be known that he went into the
mass meeting from which he was sent to
the convention as a Wilson man. He was
a supporter of Mr. Wilson from the first,
but he believed it to be the duty of
every true Democrat to abide by the ma
jority. That was the reason he was there
mr Capt. Falligant. He should vote for
him as long as he remained in the con
vention, and when he retired he would
find an alternate who would vote for him
in his stead.
Mr. Smith said that the leverage of the
Chatham delegation seemed to be the
Democratic principle that the majority
must rule and that in this instance the
predominant vote of Chatham county
should disfranchise the other two coun
ties of the district. He was not
tied to any particular candi
date, hut be was tied to what
he believed to be right. The entire issue
he charged to a spirit of animosity on the
part of Chatham county. He was not in
the convention to support either Smith,
Falligant, or Bird, but he was there to
stand for what he believed to be justice,
and that he claimed to be the right of the
country to name the nominee.
Numerous speeches were made by dele
gates from all the counties, but without
influencing a nomination. On the five
hundred and fifty-seventh ballot the con
vention adjourned until noon to-day.
The feeling between Chatham
and the country was very strong
throughout the entire session.
Neither of the opposing delegations
showed any inclination to yield, and at
the adjeurnment the convention was ap
parently no nearer a nomination than
when it organized. It is thought that a
nomination will be reached to-day before as
many ballots are taken as yesterday,
but who will be the nominee is a question
concerning which it is difficult tq specu
late. The country delegations claim what
they believe to be their just rights and
Chatham remains solid for her first choice.
Charged with Neglect of Duty.
Capt. L. H. Soule, of the schooner Flor
ence J. Allen, yesterday made a com
plaint before United States Commissioner
Erwin against George Baker, a white
man, who was employed as cook on the
vessel, charging him with neglect of duty.
A warrant was issued for Baker, when he
was arrested by Deputy Marshal Ilall and
committed to jail to await an examination
1 .efore the Commissioner this morning at
10 o’clock. According to the statement
made by the Captain, Baker was shipped
as a cook, and while the vessel was at sea
on the run to this port, about two days
ago, he refused to do any more cooking.
The prisoner told the Commissioner that
he did not sign articles as a cook until
after the vessel had got to sea, aud that
the reason he refused to cook was that the
stove in the galley was in bad order and
smoked everything up, and that he got
discouraged with the work.

Awaiting Trial for Burglary.
Among the prisoners who were ar
raigned in the Mayor’s Court yesterday
was a negro named John Ayers, who was
arrested by the police Sunday morning
at the instance of Henry Williams, who
found Ayers in his room under suspicious
circumstances, the prisoner having re
ceived no permission from Williams to
enter his apartment, and being unable to
give a satisfactory account of himself or
explanation of his conduct. The Mayor
sent the prisoner to jail on a commitment
charging him with burglary, to await
trial in the Supreme Court.
H. L. Schreiner, the veteran musician
and dealer of Savannah, Ga., and stalwart
agent of the Knabe and Gabler pianos, in
formed us last week that he “imports his
medium-priced instruments from Europe,
for the reason that he can obtain better
goods forth® money than he could pur
chase from any of our stencil makers.”
He has “tried the experiment for several
years and has found it entirely satisfac
tory to himself and customers.” Mr.
Schreiner believes that “the day-s of the
stencil pianos, with their wretched work
manship, are numbered in the American
market.”—American Art Journal.
A STEAM BIRD.
A Machine for Navigating tha Air—Mr.
Talmage’* Invention to Supply a Long
Felt Want.
Savannah has an inventor who thinks
he has solved the problem of serial naviga
tion. The invention, which is to make
traveling easy, and give every traveler
his own “direct air-line, shortest route”
to wherever business or pleasure may di
rect his footsteps—or, rather, his wings—
is a flying machine, or a “Steam Bird.”
The inventor is Mr. C. R. Talmage, a ma
chinist of this city. He submitted
his drawings to a reporter of
the Morning News yesterday. The
mechanical parts of the machine
are verv simple. Mr. Talmage is of the
opinion that he has complied with the re
quirements laid down by Park Benjamin
on the subject, namely, that the problem
ot aerial navigation "will take its place
among human achievements when an ap
paratus is invented to accomplish the
work of a bird’s wings and tail, and au
engine invented that is capable of supply
ing the necessary power, with compara
tively little weight,
The Talmage flying machine is appa
rently a simple combination of levers by
which a perpendicular motion is secured,
and at the same time a lateral movement
is given to an immense pair of wings, the
frame of which is made of bamboo cane,
thus combining lightness with strength
and flexibility. The upward movement
of the wings is relieved of the pressure of
air bv a mechanical contrivance for lift
ing the material which takes the place of
the feather, and as the downward move
ment takes place, these feathers close,
presenting a solid resisting force to the
atmosphere, giving the machine its up
ward and onward flight. Levers to the
wings are moved by a crank which is
worked by a wheel driven by a steam en
gine. It is proposed to use an engine
which will give l-horse power
to every 15 pounds dead weight.
An engine of this kind was
exhibited at the Aeronautical Exhibition
of ISGs. It is calculated that the machine,
complete with engine, hoiler and fuel, will
weigh 800 pounds. With the wings mak
ing 80 “flaps” to the minute it is estimated
that they will have a lifting capacity of
3,800 pounds, leaving a reserve power of
3,000 pounds for carrying passengers and
freight. The inventor says a machine can
be built for about $5,000, and he is positive
that it will work.
The reporter suggested to Mr. Tal
mage that it would be rather dis
agreeable to the passengers in the
flying machine if the engine
should break a crank pin or the wings get
caught while flapping, or the tail gearing
refuse to act. He replied that accidents
were liable to occur to everything.
If anv person would like to go in part

tion they can have an interview drop
ping him a line through the post office.
HORSFORD’S ACID PHOSPHATE
A Good Thing.
Dr. Adam Miller, Chicago, 111., says:
“I have recommended llorsford’s Acid
Phosphate to my patients, and have re
ceived very favorable reports. It is one
of the very few really valuable prepara
tions now offered to the afflicted. In a
practice of thirty-five years I have found
a few good, thiugs. and this is one of
them.”

Didn’t It Though?
Our last advertisement brought us
numbers of purchasers all anxious lor
bargains, and they got them too. We
told you that we meant just what we said
—that we were going to sell clothing, and
we did it. The prices were ruinous, it is
true, but then, in the face of anew
season, we couldn’t hold the goods, and
no respectable offer was let pass.
We have still left a few of those stylish
ly made Gents and Youths’ Suits that
must be closed out, and if you appreciate
bargains now is the opportunity to enjoy
them. Nothing is misrepresented. No
“baits” or “decoy” offers. We expect
to make a permanent customer of every
caller, and to do that we propose to send
those who do not know us away with an
impression that will bring them hack
again.
We would rather let our goods lay on
our shelves and counters unsold than to
have anyone think that they had been ill
treated or deceived. We propose to pur
sue our original course, viz.: Good
Clothing, made to fit, at the lowest possi
ble prices. Sign of the Golden Arm, 159

half as large. Courteous treatment makes

MISS VERNE'S BENEFIT.
An Excellent Performance Last Might—
A Handsome Testimonial from the
Ford*.
A large audience assembled in the
Ford’s Opera House last night, the oc
casion being a performance given by the
Thomas W. Keene Dramatic Association
for the benefit of Miss Florrie Verne.
Miss Verne appeared as “Kathleen O’Con
nor,” supported by Mr. Frank Readick as
“Terence O’Moore,” In the beautiful
domestic four-act Irish drama,
Kathleen Mavourneen. The rendition
of the character of “Kathleen O’Conner,”
was a piece of acting which showed Miss
Verne’s thorough analysis of the part, the
emotional passages in the third and fourth
acts being faithfully delineated and re
peatedly applauded. Bhe was strongly
supported by Mr. Readick, who acted with
decided spirit and captivated the audi
ence. His appearance in the murder
scene where he saves Kathleen was
greeted by round after round of applause.
The other members ot the association
were prompt, and by their rendition of the
other characters in the cast delighted the
audience.
During the performance of the fourth
act Manager Durbec advanced to “Ter
ence O’Moore” and requested permission
to address his bride, “Kathleen O’Con
ner.” Mr. Readick, who had just finished
a sentence, did not apparently under
stand the motive lor the interruption for
the moment, but it flashed across his
mind that his acquiescence was impera
tively necessary, when he gave his assent.
Mr. Durbec then said:
Miss Florrie Verne: The Ford Dramatic
Association, appreciating your services on
many occasions when they gave entertain
ments, have deputized me to present you a
slight token of theiresteem, and therefore, in
their name, I beg your acceptance of this fifty
dollar bill.
The applause which followed this ad
dress continued for some minutes, during
which Miss Verne recovered in a measure
from her surprise and said:
I do not know how I could have merited
such a high compliment, but I take this op
portunity to return my heartfelt thanks to
the Ford Dramatic Association for the un
expected testimonial, I am unprepared to
say more, hence permit me again and again to
thank the donors for their gilt.
