Yesterday was certainly a day
that will be handed down in the
history of (bis city.
And ‘‘until death do come” mai y
many, Romans wiil remember
scenes that were enacted around
the polls
And all wiil remember, that
throughout the entire fight of the
diy, not abl w w passed, and
but few. if any “bard things” were
said, that will be remembered.
The great good humor that pre- >
vailed was no less remarkable than (
th-' intensify and heat’of the con- ]
flict that raged from the moment c
the Mo >re ticket voters swooped
down on the polls at 7 a. rn. until (
Marshal Jim Brown closed them |
at 6 p. m when the war was over.
The battle was a royal one, and
was fought to a finish on tbo Mooie t
side. On the Seay side however (
s ome of the forces felt that defsat f
was inevitable, ea-ily in the day and
while a few became sick, and quit the ;
field and many others wavered, but
returned to the charge, only io wa- g
ver again and repeat the sama tatties M
until the polls closed.
A minister who approuehed the
jlls in the afternoen remarked <o
be Hustler: “Iseenor.oed of ssk
V where the victor} lios; I have just
Ised eandidates on oposite sides

They placed him in a chair aud
5 forming a merry, shouting exult
ing column they headed for “Wall
Street” aud where they made the
night very “hideous” to the dwell
’ era who favored th.® Seay ticklst.
At 11:30 they returned up Bread
Street and after sersuadi g Mr
E<l. Colelough at his livery stable
proceeded to Mayor Moore's home
in the Fourth Ward.
In this fight the lines were prst
ty clearly drawn and tho “admin
istration” and its ticket fought tho
‘‘people's ticket” to the last ditch.
The “ins’’ could not have pul
forward a more determined and
persi.tont fighter than Capt‘ Seay
aod therefore th* victory te the
“outs’' who new “go in'' was a mo t
brilliant one.
John D. Moora, will give Rome a
vigerous, onergenic, f afely conserva
live administration. “Mark that
prediction. ”
