The following is from the Savannah Morning News of yesterday: The C. 1,. A.’s baseball team shut out the team from Brunswick In the game played in the Holton Street Park yesterday afternoon, and won the game handily by the score of G tie 0. The visitors were slow, on bases, not a man got beyond second, nor could they connect with Hull’s curves for more than three hits. Their only strong point was their fielding, and this was good enough to keep the lo cals town do seven hits., The locals, on the other hand, play ed good and fast hall, both a.s a team and individually. Some of the plays were of the gilt-edge variety, especi ally the work oi" Charlton, who not only caught a fine game, and by .his accurate throwing to second bag pre vented a single man from stealing that base, but also in his batting. He is really responsible for most of the runs made, for twice he came to the hat with two men on bases, and twice bjj making an opportune hit. he sent them across) tthe plate. He himself scored one run. Hull pitched a good game, allowing but one base on balls and being touch ed for only three hits. His fielding was unusually good for four bails bunted to him were captured in good time, and in three cases the runner thrown out at first, the fourth runner was safe on an error of first base. Among the features of the game wa<j a fine catch of Bertie Sullivan, who caught on a sprint from center field a line fly over short, and a fine catch of a fly to left, which Walker gathered in after a hard run. J. Mc- Intyre played a fast and clever short, and W, Downey made a sensational tnrow from right field to third base, catching a man at that hag. Picnic Today.

H. Smith," and, as a matter of fact, no such agree ment was had at said meeting: And Whereas, it Is further stated In said article (hat, “at a meeting held some time age a ro.-oluflon was adopt ed appropriating a sum not exceeding $250.00, hut for some reaspn the res olution was never put into effeet, and at the meeting held Tuesday it was unanimously decided to employ an ac cmilitant, for the purpose named,” and a- a matter of fact, iso such decision was reached at said meeting, and, on the other hand, the sentiment of a majority of those present was in fa vor ol rescinding said appropriation, it apearing that the finance committee had carefully audited all the hooks of the eity each month; And whereas, wnile there was some discussion a s to the wisdom of spend iii". any money for said purpose, ma jority expressing themselves as op posed fo said expenditure, no action whatever was taken at said meeting on said subject; And whereas, the statements con tained in said article are likely to create the impression that there is, on the part of thin,' body, a lack of confidence in our City Treasurer; Therefore, be it resolved; (1.)

POLITICIANS OPPOSE IT 4 GEORGIA STATESMEN ARE FIG URING ON THE SPEAKERSHIP OF THE NEXT LEGISLATURE MANY WANT IT. LOCAL OPTION IS TO HAVE A PROMINENT PLACE IN THE DECLARATION ELLIS COULD HAVE BEEN SPEAKER. Atlanta, June 19.—Within the last few days there has been quite a sprinkling of state politicians in the city, among them ex-Senator Sim Blalock, ex-Senator J. L. Hayes, ex- Senator Cann. Representatives Steed of Tjflor, Miller of Muscogee, George of Morgan, Morris of Cobb and oth ers. •/ Messrs. Steed, George and Morris are candidates for the speakership of the house, and they are making' a vlg oious but friendly campaign for the office. Mr. Miller of Muscogee says that In hid opinion Mr. Kills of Bibb would have been the speaker had he been elected to the house, and he thinks that the people of Bibb county acted very unwisely la allowing him to bo defeated. He has no idea where Mr. Ellis’ supporters will now go, but is) of the opinion that they will be dir vided out among the other earn!!-’ dates. Mr. Ellis would have received the three votes from Fulton had he been elected to the house. The politicians who are 'here and those who have been in Atlanta recent ly have been discussing the character of the platform that will be adopted by the state convention. There seems to be practically a unanimous opin ion among them that a local option plank should be placed in the plat form and put there so that it will re main there for all time to come. One of them Bad this morning: “I want to see the prohibition question settled in this way so that when a candidate runs for office hereafter he will have to run on a platform with a local option in It." This: same authority, said, also: “And I want to see the conven tion come out square and refuse to indorse the Kansas GHy and the principles) contained in it. The platform adopted at the last national convention contained a lot of issues that are now dead and were practi cally dead when adopted. We have lost two national campaigns trying to force Bryan and ‘lB-to-l’ on the peo ple, and I am opposed to any more nonsense on this line. Let us set aside dead issfues and put live ones into the platform, Issues that mean something and will meet the views of the people. I see that one or two states recently in convention have indorsed the Kansas City platform, and 1 nope that Georgia will not make the same mistake." SULTAN IS DEFIANT. Orders Col.
