WITH FRIENDS AND SUPPORT.
ERS OF THE SOUTH GEORGIA
CANDIDATE.
CROWD WAS ENTERTAINED BY
ELOQUENT ADDRESSES AND
COL. ESTILL’ CLAIMS FORCG
BLY ADVANCED
f
The' rally at the city hall last night
in the interest of Col. John H. Estill.
the, south Georgia candidate for gov
ernor, was the largest and most e;i
thvFSiastic plTreical gathering held in
Glyrri county in many years, and the
support accorded the Savannah can
didate was loyal in every respect.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr! J. A. Butts, who, after a -b*!ef
talk on questions connected with thq
campaign, introduced Col. Estill as
Georgia’s next governor.
Colonel Estill was received witli
the most enthusiastic applaus and it
was several minutes before his voice
could lie lic-ard.
In his spcjech, 'which was to the
point all the way through, Col. Es
till easMy answered the charges made
against aim by a few Brunswickians
who. mostly for political reasons are
supporting either Mr. Terrell or Mr.
Guerry.
Among the first charges that he
laid at rest was that his paper, the
Savannah Morning News, had sup.
pressed iinwi items sent from here
which were of interest to BriirisWlrk,
and also that our shipping report was
left out of the paper daily. Col. Es
till said ttiat no news item which
would aid Brunswick had fiver been
suppressed, and the correspondent of
the Sifvannah News was present,
ready and willing to verify the state
ment.
Another charge, and one which his
opponents have been using to con
sidcrable advantage against, hint, was
that if he’ was elected governor he
would not re-appoint Judge Spencer
Atkinson, of this city, a member of
the (ailroad .commisfifon. Oof. Es
till stated that he knew not where
such an idea originated, as lie con
sidered Judge Atkinson one of the
strongest, brainiest and most popular
and capable officials of the stats of
Georgia, and that he had always con
sidered him a most valuable officer
and among Georgia's brainiest citi
zens.
A gentleman present asked Col.
Estiil if, as it had beeji charged, he
had endorsed the. negro DeVeaux for
collector of customs for the port of
Brunswick. Col. Estill said that he
never remembered of doing anything
of the kind.
The Chaham county candidate then
addressed the large crowd on the
issues of the campaign; said he was
an advocate of local option, opposed
to the state of Georgia being run by
politicians, was in favor of better
schools for tli.e education of our
children. He also explained himself
fully on tlie labor question, saying
any laborer, whether be belonged
ter the union or not could work oir
his paper, and receive as high pay as
is paid by any printing office in
the state.
Cos!. I . til! was followed by Col F.
M. Oliver, of Savannah, who, fer a
half an irir, held the closest attests
ion of the large and enthusiastic aus
dicnce. Mr. Oliver is an orator of
reputation, has a beautiful flow of
language and his speech last night
was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone
present. He paid and high and fitting
tribute to the Savannah candidate,
said he had known him for many
years and that he was a ctiizen worthy
of the high office which he seeks.
Mr. Oliver ended by saying that Col.
Estili was the candidate of the people
and not the poditicians and that he
hoped the voters of Glynn would as
sist in placing him in office.
The next, speaker was Major Finley
of Gainesville, who, on hiss own per*
Jsonal account, is canvassing the state
in Col. Estilt's interest. Major Finley
j talked for fully an tidfur, and in his
speech he exploded many of the
I schemes of the politicians now in
power.in the state. Ho said that his
section of the state was solid for
thq south Georg,a candidate; that it.
it is time this section should be repre
seated in the gubernatorial chair, and
to accomplish that rests with tlie
people of south Geogia. He claims
2*"TTHinties_ solid for Estill in his sece
tion and says ho lias a good chance in
ihe ether couties. ,
by a few politicians to carry the
