THE BRUNSWICK .DAILY NEWS* VOLUME 4, NUMBER 238 THE ESTILL RALLY AT THE GRAND LAST NIGHT WAS FROSTY PEOPLE DIO NOT TOON OUT + Congressman Brantley and Candidate [stilt Speak on the Issues OF THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN The Address of Col, Brantley Was Elo quem But the People did not Feel the lispiration and Were Not Responsive. The much advertised rail}' of tits Estill forces at the Grand opera house last night could not liavo afforded very much satisfaction to the friends of the Savannah candidate in this city. The meeting (had been thor oughly advertised, both in the local press of the city and by circulars through the mails and jet the well known play house was only about one fourth filled and that was limited to £he jseats down tstairs. It had been sent out broadcast that Congress man Brantley, who has always been a darwing card, would deliver the al dress of the evening and that brought even a larger number than would have ibeen present otherwise. Ex- City Treasurer W. F. Symons was master of ceremonies and shortly af ter 8 o’clock called the meeting to order and in quite a lengthly address Introduced the Savannah candidate. Mir. Estill talked for probably about, an hour and a half and devoted most of his time to a villification of this publication because it had published some paid advertisements in its is sues of Sunday and yesterday morning. Tiie two cards to which Mr. Estill ob jected were tendered the business of fice of The News as advertising mat ter and were paid for at regular space rates and yet Mr. Estill took occasion last night, to hold up The News to the ridueule of his auditors and ta pass structures upon it then he had advantage of the situation and uo one connected with The News had an op portunity to reply thereto. Wliep he made the bold statement that if the matter had been tendered The News against the candidacy ol Hoke Smith it would have heeu re jected he uttered a deliberate false hood and when he sought to show that The News was influenced unduly by the publication of the two advertise ments he delivered a lick ibelow the belt that any editor with the know edge of the primary ethics of the prof ession would have scorned. His other references to The News were unfair, cowardly and dirty and the editor of The News takes this, his only oppor tunity, to hurl them hack into his teeth with the statement that He WAS NEVER ACCUSED OF DESERT ING THE CONFEDERATE ARMY AND THAT DRIVEN TO BAY HE HAS NEVER CONFESSED TO EN DORSING A NEGRO FOR APPOINT MENT, more especially when the ap pointment was in Brunswick arid pla ced the NEGRO IN POSITION SUPER IPR TO THAT HELP BY WHITE MEN in the same service. The News asks the pardon of the public for this personal statement hut thinks it nec essary and once again repudiates the bitter attack made upon it with ' the last statement that only a COWARD would have sought the advantage Estill assumed here last night. The News has never uttered one word against his candidacy andt the cards to which he objects were, paid advertisements tendered by two of the most representative men ot the city. So much for the personal side of the matter. Now for Mr. Es till’s speech. J4e first took up the series of ques tions asked by “Another Voter" in yesterday’s News and admitted that he had endorsed a negro for collect or of customs at Brunswick. He then qualified his action by saying that Brunswick returned the compliment by having the same negro returned to Savannah. (But no Brunswick white man endorsed him.) He said that he had been instruraoutul in sending the pilotboat J. H. Estili to Brunswick for repairs and thiß was an indication of the fact that he loved Brunswick. He discussed the] iquestian of negro disfranchisement adherring to the same speech he has been making on this subject all dtir iug the campaign. The audience did not seem to enjoy his talk which was not a vote making one and was apparently pleased when lie took his seat announcing that Col Brantley would follow him. In answer to the question as to what his attitude on the extension ot the state road would he, in case ho was governor, whether ho would favor it going to Savannah or Brunswick, -he stated that he would stand for tne mad GOING TO BOTH PLACES. As this fould cost about five or six mil | lion dollars and would give the road two branches, almost parallel, the absurdity of the attitude is manifest. Congressman Brantley was then presented to the audience by Ex-Alder man Aiken and for fully two hours he entertained his auditors. Ills ad dress was strong and effective an 1 in -a comprehensive manner he took his audience over all of the points and issues in the campaign. He said he failed to agree with those who did not 'believe that lie , as a member ot congress, ought to take part iu such a fight as the present gubernatorial campaign. He had been place he “watch tower”, he said, by th m ocrats of Georgia .and of tlie Elevt ith district and it was his duty to teii them what he saw. He took “Voter" in Sunday’s News, to task and pointed out the fact that he had secured n pub lie building for Brunswick and a light shiii off our bar which was more than Brmiswi k ever had before. He claimed that the application of port rates would only serve lo aid Atlanta while Brunswick and Savan nah would suffer. He denounced Hoke Smith and said that be would never vote for a man for governoi unelss he believed him capable or standing by his oath. Col. Brantley entered into a full discussion of the negro disfranchisement and attempt ed to show' that the negro was now disfranchised in Georgia. Tie scorea the divine call of the people’s can didate and said that the light, wilier was anew one, was certainly of the Walsonian order. Mr. Brantley inti mated that the opposition in Bruns wick to the candidacy of Col. Estili was due to a desire on the par* of certain people to hold a few little local offices. Col. Brantlev was given Hie very closest attention by his audience, which was not a very largo one, and several times during the evening be was roundly applauded. Mr. Estill, accompanied by Col. Brantley, will leave this morning for Camden run ty where they will address the peo ple today. SHE IS Mi Woman Who Annoyed President at Church Arrested on the Lun acy Charge.
