Two Standpoints—Evsry Candidate

Hard for Harmon.
Local politics are running •L'ongly in op
position to the weather. In tbe former the
temperature is climbing while in the latter
it ia backing down. But tbe unoomfortable
ness of tbe weather cannot keep down the
politioal fever or reduce the pulse wbicb is
throbbing excitedly.
Tbe lines are being sharply drawn. It
seems ae if everybody ia declaring either
for McDonough or Harmon. There ia no
half-way road between tbe two mayoralty
candidates siuoe Dr. Kalligant is out of the
race, and when Tuesday morning dawns it
will see the backers of both gentlemeu
gathered at tbe polls for one of the moat ex
oitiug municipal contests waged in Savan
nah for many years
Little else is talked of except politics. It
ia politico on tbe streets, politics at the
club* and hotels, polit.es in the offices and
workshops, and oven in the homes tho
small boys are imbued with it and thuy are
asking each other, “Who’s goin’ to win,
McDonough or Harmon?”
Yesterday was an exciting day among
tbe politicians aud the two aidernianto
tickets were th roughly discussed. Many
bets were made on b >t.h tickets, and some
political sporting meu bet that majorities
of the McDonough aud Harmon tickets
would be elected.
HOW MAJ. SCHWARZ IS LOOKED UPON.
The appearance of Maj. Schwarz on the
Harmon aldermanic ticket was tbe thing
which caused surprise on every side aud
furnished food for no little amount of
speculation Alderman Harmon’s friends
were in high glee over (heir etroi.e of poli
tics. as they termed It, and predicted that
tbe major would bri: g such an array of
eup ortera to the alderman's mayoralty
candidacy as to make it successful, while on
the other band Mayor McDonough’s sup
porters claimed that Maj. Schwarz bad
weakened himself by beiug drawn into the
fight in suoh a manner and doubted his
eieotioD. They ridiculed the ides
that bis being on tbe ticket
would help Alderman Harmon and
predicted the election of Mayor McDonough
and hie entire ticket by a neat majority.
Caucuses of the friends of both candi
dates were held durr g the day and last
night to mature the plans, aud those in at
tendance came out proclaiming victory for
ttoeir favorites. There is no lack of confi
dence apparently among the supporters of
the two sides, and if confidence aioae could
win Savannah would expenenoe toe novelty
of having two mayors elected. Justioe
Thomas J. -hefrall, Uountv Tress rer War
ing Kueseii aud Judge Philip M. Rtssell
began electioneering against Mayor Mo-
Donongh yesterday aud hustling alter their
friends to register. ,
ELECTION KURIN Cl IN VEHICLES.
They took in the city In carriages aud
buggies and used all the persuasive powers
of which they are capable to get the voters
to qualify. Negroes were drummed up by
the soure and sent to ibe tax collector’s of
fice to settle up their accounts and get in
shape to have their names placed on the
registry list.
There was a crush in tho court house oor
ridoraiiday. It was slow work paying
taxes, but in tbe neighborhood of 300 paid,
about 10 per cent, of whom were white.
Alderman Harmon’s workers were on hand
all day. Amoug them were Charles Coll
mau,J. Q. Hodges of tbe Central railroad,
P. I* Constantine, H. T. Beckett, George
Blake, James Mcßride, Timothy Sullivan,
Frank McDermott. C. A. F. Thorpe, P. M.
Russell. Waring Russell, Alderman Har
mou himself and J ustico Thomas J. Sbef
tail.
Mayor McDonough was not at his office
yesterday on account of tbe death of his
brother-in-law, .Mr. Hoslatn.
Alderman Harmon was on a rush all day
from one registry office to another, looking
after hie interests. When asked bow ho
felt about his chances he replied: “Splendid.
Tbe outlook to me ia very bright, aud I be
lieve if 1 get fair play at the ballot-boxes
and io the count I will win.”
One of the managers of the McDonough
campaign was astted how it ha: pc ed that
if all the candidates upon the McDonough
ticket were pledged to Mayor McDonough’s
polioy, two of them, Aidermau Myers and
Dr. Duncan, were upon the Harmon
ticket.
“You cau rely upon it,” said the gentle
man, “that Alderman Myers aud Dr.
Duncan ure just us much pledged to Mayor
McDonough's polioy as tbe other gentlemen
upon the ticket.”
NO ONE OUTSIDE THE FOLD TAKEN.
“We placed no one upon the ticket who
would riot subscribe to the views held by
Mayor McDonough and you can rest as
sured that we knew just how every man
etood whose name was placed upon that
list. Aldermen Myers and Dr. Duncan are
all right from the McDonough standpoint
and you can give me as your authority to
any one who Inquires of you personally. ”
Tbe aldermanic candidates on both tick
ets were also busy electioneering. Each
expresses confidence at his anility to win
"honorable” laurels, aud ’tis a pity that
twelvo of them will have to taste the bitter
ashes of disappointment. Two men who
have nothing to fear aud can already as
sure themselves of succe * a e Aidermau
Herman Myers and Dr. William Duncan.
They ere on both tickets.
The friends of Alderman Haines are dis
appointed over the failure of the Harmon
lee* to get him ou their ticket. They stated
openly on the streets for several (lays that
Alderman Haines had been selected, but for
some reason unknown to anybody outside of
Alderman Harmon’s managers he was
dropped at the last minute. The committee
which selected tho aldermanic tioket was
composed of eleien men, and, it it said,
Aidermau Haines got 5 votes
WHO THE CANDIDATES ARK.
The seven members of the present board
who are running on the administration
ticket are well known to the citizens by
their records in tbe council, as is the case
with Mr. David Wells and Dr, Duncan,
who have been on the board several times.
Mr. Bohan is strong with all classes. As
chief sachem of Tammany he will insure to
the McDonough ticket nearly 399 votes, anil
bis personal popularity outside of that or
ganisation will make him a factor in the
race for aldermanic honors. He is a cotton
warehouseman.
Mr. Folliard has been in politics in Sa
vannah for years, anil has a strong follow
ing iu the First aud Fourth districts. He
was for years justice of the peace
of tbe First district aud is now
at real estate agent.
Mr. McMillan is one of the progressive
citizen* who, in a few years, by indomit
able pluck, has built up iu Bs\ annsh one of
tbe largest manufactories of turpentine
stills in the south.
Maj. Bohwarz, tbe head of tbe Harmon
ticket needs no introduction to Suvr.n
nahtanu. His long career ss an alderman
And his administration as mayor for two
years has made him familiar so everybody.
Capt. Thomas Bcreven is the young men's
candidate. He will druw around him the
support of tbe young voters. Ha is looked
upon as equally strung u* Maj. .Schwarz on
theliurmon tioket.
THE BONIFACE IN THE FIELD.
Mr. W. J. Wats n’s nomination has met
with a hearty wound from hit (neud-. lie
l not In any straw u politician, but a bust
s’*** man of iutegrlty, and like Capt.
Rcrsveii, is a favorite wi. ti the young men.

firm of H. M. Comer & Cos., which has some
very large interests in Savannah
K. Cnyler Gordon is with the well-known
cotton house of W. \V. Gordon & Cos. He
is a young business man who will add
strength to the Harmon ticket.
Marcus S. Barker it a real estate agent
who bat been a sou of a quiet dealer m

mg lights of the Knights of Labor move
ment several years ago.
George A. Hudson is another man well
known in local politics. He was a strong
Knight of Labor and was nominated for
alderman by that organization.
Messrs. Lubs and Ray are grocerymeu in
the First and Fourth districts aud Mr.
Bowden is a stableman, lie is the choice of
the First District Club, having been in
dorsed with Mr. Lubs about two months
ago.
A COMPLAINT ANBWFRHD.
There has been a good deal of complaint
by ttie Harmon people against tbe registra
tion commissioners. A gentleman who is
familiar with the situation analyzed the
board. “Mr. John F. La Far, who was ap
pointed by the city court grand jury,” he
said, “was recommended by Judge Mac Don
ell, who is a nephew of A1 ierman Harmon,
Mr. William Kehoe was appointed by the
board of oducatiou. Among tho members
of the board are Col. R. D. Walker, Aider
man Harmon’s father-in-law, and J. R.
Sauesy, Esq., hisbrotber-in-law. Mr. C. F.
Prendergast was appointed by tbe sinking
fund commission. On that commission are
Mr. John Lyone and Mr. B. Guckenheimer,
both supporters of Alderman Harmon. Mr.
David U ells was appointed by the superior
court grand jury and Mr. F. D. Bio and worth
was appointed by the county commissioners,
of -hi eh Col, R. D. Walker is chairman
and Mr. Haussy Is attorney. Any one cau

friends or anybody else had."

THE LOWEST MERCURY TIT.
It Drops to 1946”—A Storm Off the
t. oast.
Yesterday was tbe coldest day of tho
year. Tbe minimum temperature of tbe
winter so far, 19. BJ,8 J , was reached yesterday
morning.
Early risers realized the extent of the
cold. The water was frozen in all the
hydrants exposed to the open air. Every
pool aud every pail or tub of water that
had been left out doors was froien
hard. The water in the ba.-lns
of tbe fountains at the park
aud in Chippewa square on Bull street
were frozen over solid aud the ieo had to be
broken np and thrown out. The chunks re
mained uumelted until midday showing
how cold it was.
The moiormen who started out on the
electric cars in the early morning had a
hard time of it and really deserved sym
pathy. The sharp westerly winds sent the
cold home to them with a \e geance.
The weather moderated considerably dur
ing the day tbe thermometer rising to 43 s
in the afternoon.
The weather was very pleasant and brac
ing yesterday afternoon. Storm signals
were hoisted last night on a telegram from
Washington indicating high south to west
signals ou the Bouth Atlantic coast.
GEN. LEE’B BIRTHDAY. *
The Military of Savannah Will Cele
brate W Ith a Union Parade.
In tbe heat of politics people seem to have
forgotten that next Thursday will be tbe
birthday of tbe south’s famous and beloved
chieftain, Gen. Robert E. Lee. Nearly
every southern state hat made it a legal
holiday, following Georgia’s example in tbe
matter, and its observance will be general.
Savannah as usual will celebrate the day
with a magnifloent union military parade
in the afternoon and a review in the parade
ground. Tbe hanks, cotton exchange, board
of trade, city and couuty offices and courts
will be closed and many of the business
houses will discontinue business during the
day.
Cos). Mercer will probably call a meeting
of tbe board of officers of the regiment in a
day or two to arrange for the military cele
bration.
TBE PLAN STILL WITHHELD.

The rumor yesterday that the Hollins
■yndioate had collapaed aud the plan of re
organization for the Central had fallen

sition to know, to be absolutely untrue.
There is a good deal of interest to know
what the plan is, but nothing au

“THE WIFF" COMES NEXT.
The Play to Be .en gain in Savannah
This Week.
“Tbe Wife” will be tbe leading at
traction at tbe theater this week. It will
be presented Wednesday night.
The play, which is a 4-act society drama
of New York life, has aireadv teen seen
here, and its story is familiar to play-goera
The characters are interest!! g, because
they talk and act naturally. Nothing is
sts: tling, there are none of the melo
dramatio strivings for effect or the horse
play of farce comedy which character zes
so many of the present day production*.
The situations are always natural, and the
contrasts and climaxes are effective, 'there
is something to admire in every character,
and no one cau fail to see a worthy moral in
the play. It is Manager FrohroaD’s policy in
sending one of his successors on the road to
eudeavor to give, as nearly as possible, an
exact reproduction of the original perform
ance iu Now York. To secure this end the
most careful rehearsing is resorted to under
Mr. Frohman’s personal care, every piece of
business, every detail, gesture and inflection
are noted and prearranged. Nothing is left
to chance, and tbe public get as nearly a
perfect performance, from the standpoint of
the original production, as it iv possible to
give. This policy has been followed in the
preparation for the tour of “The Wife."
New scenery is premised, and the costumes
worn by the ladies are said to be very
beautiful.
The entertainment committee of the
Young Men’s Christian Association has ar
ranged for a concert by the Mendelssohn
Club, Jan. 21, in the Masonio hall. Thi*
club does not need its praises sounded to
increase Its popularity with the people of
Savannah, but the press comments of other
citise will assure the friends of Mr. Thomas
Ryan that be is “still living” and delight
ing the music-loving people. The follow
ing is from the American Musician:
“Tbe Mendelssohn Quintette Club has
oontinued in its quiet way planting the
seeds of musical taste, giving to countless
thousands their first taste of art music, and
setting a standard by which others are
measured. To Mr. Thomas Ryan, the only
remaining member of the origlual club,
must be given the credit for this persistent
effort, l here is something more than mere
musicianship required to keep men in har
mony who are sometimes brought together
from the different ends of the earth. A
self-saorlticiag spirit must be made manifest
to bind others by the same purpose. These
qualities will not be eisily found again in
another man. We hope that he will be
spared many years still for his oomrunial
life work in animating aud direct ing the
Mendelssohn Quintette Club."
Theater Notes
It bas been decided to erect a marble
statue to tbe memory of Mr. Barry Sullivan
In Glasmere cemetery, Dublin. The statue
will represent the tragedian as "Hamlet” in
the graveyard scene, boldb g "Yorick’i”
skull. Tbe statne will oust £SOO.
Tbe title of M. Bardou’s new play written
jointly with M. Moreau for tbe Grand
theater In Paris is "Madams Sans-Uene,”
which may be rendered in English as “Mrs.
Free-and-Easy.” “Madame Baus-Gene”
was a nickname which, in tbe days of the
first Nai oleon, was bestowed on the wife of
a distinguished military officer, notorious
for her iiliteratenes*. This lady is M.
Hardou’s heroine. The play is desert bed by
the authors as “a dramatic comedy.”
It is said that there Is positively no
grounds for the aunou<.cement that Gilbert
and Sullivan have beoome reconciled and
will evolve anew series of comic opera. The
oelebrated oollaborateurs remain just as
they have been for along time—so near and
yet so far.
Stuart Robson has an English nurse for
his new t>aby. The nurse is pious and was
never In a theater before coming to this
country. At a matinee last week in Chi
cago she sat in a stage box with the infant
on her knees. The baby behaved well until
her father began to sing “A Horrible Tale
of a Suicidal Familv,” In Buckstone’s
comedy of “Married Life,”—which fright
ened tbe little fellow so much that he geve
a howl which rang through the theater like
a cracked trumpet and In a way that
threatened to rival his Illustrious father’s
highest falsetto note. The uurse mude every
effort to quiet him, but failing to do so,
called out to the comedian in a whisper loud
enough to be heard by the whole house:
•'Don’t blame him, Mr. Robberaon—be aiu’t
a-howlin’ at you—the blessed boy have just
cut another tooth.”

Qualified for the Municipal Flection.
Tbe city regiatratiou office# closed
promptly at 8 o’clock last night, and a few
people were shut out iu tbe First and Fourth
district* because they waited until the last
day to qualify themselves.
While tbe managers did not know posi
tively how many voters are qualified to
cast their ballots for mayor and
aldermen at the electiou Tuesday,
they estimated the number between 3,8.8)
aud 4,000, which is considerably larger than
for any city election m recant years. It
was a busy day with tbe registrars. They
were kept moving lively and when the hour
of closing cams around they felt greatly
relieved.

In more poll tax yesterday than for any one
day tn the p-st ten years. From tbe time
be opened his office at 9 o’clock in the morn
ing until 6 o’clock last Light there was a

ceiving window and it took the undivided
time of every attache of the office to make
out receipts. At one time tbe line extended
out of Mr. MoGowan’s office half way down
tho corridor.
The majority were colored men, but there
was a considerable sprinkling of white faces

that he and his friends furnished tbe funds
for them to pay their taxes and qualify as
voters.

The world’s fair celebrates this year tbe
400th anniversary of tbe discovery of
America. Columbus little dreamt that the
genius of the people who would settle only
a part of the North American continent
would oreate from 1843 to 1893 a financial
institution, tbe largest of its kind In the
world, and which would snrend its wings of
beneficence over the civilized globe. This
colossal institution, to emphasize its won
derful achievements from organization
1848 to 1893, offers to the insuring public
since Jan. 1, 1893, its semi-centennial
policies, which give absolute provision
against iujudicious investments of trust
funds and provides the family against every
contingency ofj poverty and want, making
a safe and more profitable investment than
United States government bonds pur
chased on installment plan. Such an offer
has never been made before by this com
pany or any similar institution. The con
tinuous installment polices and 2 per cent
debentures policy are cheaper than life and
limited payment rates. Do not fall to
