were unanimously adopted:
Keen’.veil. firs,. Tn.it It Is hereby de

December next shall be a fair nml
careful election; provided auch an elec

Col. Guerry'* speech provoked great
enthusiasm and hi* utterances were
punctuated by liberal applause.
'Mr. It. W. Jemlson was called on,
and sufd that a great many voters hive
paid everything except their street tlx.
He thought mat every one should see
tor himself that his street tuxes were
paid. Whether ho has registered yet
or not. He thought today would bo
the deciding dny and urged everybody
to do their dtsly.
The club had oases of perjury made
out ogainst wutxiut seventy-five no
a somewhat new. light. It was settled
In Ita general beqnugs many years
ago. It Is simply whether s few bid
men shall mass the ignorant negro
vole und control the government in
;!* tr own Intcr-wt. That baa been de
ckled In general, and It must be de
cided here. It has always been decided
It* tit? negative, and will be again,
"There are good colored voters, for
whom I lnve great respect. We ought
to Invite their co-operation. But wc
cannot pursue the dirty policy of the
othi r side. Lei us no; buy a single
vote. Leave dirty methods to dirty
people. But we can see that to- ■ i,
earned out, and this we will do. Let
us K.ond by the resolutions we have
Just passed.
"1 agree fully with Mr. Ouerry as to
enforcing the law. That Is what gov
ernment h for. Let every man and ev
ery lawful business lie protected in all
right under the law. J would not deny
t» a eafloon afl legal protection under
law any more than I would any other
business, much us I denlore their ex
istence. We mutt mtignlfy law-ns that
which protect* everything.
".Vow. gentlemen. I am with you for
-aw and good government. And we can
carry, Gils election. Henry Gradv once
said on a great occasion, ••No amount
of Ignorance and vice can stand
against the oomfetned intelligence,
wealth and courage of Anglo-Saxons.'
It Is true. History proves it. We can
not go under saloon rule. Things will
cut none and worse. Memphis onco
went down 90 low under an lrresponsl-
bk» vote that the legislature annulled
It* charter, and put Its government in
the hands of a commission. We need
not red eh that point. If all of us do
our duty, we can win In this struggle.
I hope not one of us wilt fill cm the
nglt* ts over, and the city of Macon
Is assured of a safe and reputable
government."

of the minutes of the last rogd-sr
meeting, which were confirmed ■■
read, and then followed the minutes
of the special meeting on Friday night
and again on Saturday afternoon, the
minutes of alt of which were also con

The first Business after the reading
of the minutes was a oommunlcitton

vestlsation of the chargee and after
Jrliig the statement of Judge Free

convinced that Recorder Freeman ’hid
done his duty and that Alderman Riley
had also done his dutj^jas prescribed
In the charter. This report was fol

derman RHoy dissenting from the re
tort of tho majority -and cohcludlits
y saying that ho -was convinced that
Recorder Freeman had been guilty bf
neglect of duty, although it might
not have been Intentional.
