Goodyear were the Speakers POLITICIANS WERE SCORER Judge Synimes Paid Compliments to Cot. Goodyear and Told of Good Work He Has Done For Brunswick. Ca.pt. J. H. Leo. That is the name of the gentleman who was nominated for the fourth place on the People’s municipal ticket at last night’s mass meeting, which was a large and quite an enthusiastic one. Judge Courtland Symmes was the star speaker of the evening ana previous to the nomination held me attention of the crowd for fully an hour, in which, he handled the politi cians and political met nods iu Hruns wick without gloves. He extolled the many good qualities of Col. Goodyear aud declared that no man in ah Brunswick possessed to a higher de gree the civic pride and energy of the 4J|ple’s candidate. Judge Symmet pmnted out that Col. Goodyear haci always been a prime mover in ah movements looking to tne betterment of Brunswick; that he first moved in tne interest oi Brunswick’s first banking house, that through his ef iorts the Oglethorpe hotel came to Brunswick; that he was instrumental in bringing to this city capitalists ol every kind and that for years he hau been a material factor in the growth and development of Brunswick. Judge Symmes said that during the time Col. Goodyear was building hotels and lounding banks his opponent was pass ing bills to give the city of Bruns wick the 'present city court; that he passed this bill through the legisia lure, without ever giving the people of Brunswick a chance to express a:i opinion on it, and that it had cost the people of Glynn aounty thou sands and thousands of dollars. Hi pointed out that the fact that when Capt. Symons passed the bill creating the present city court that the old ring was in power and tnat oue of its advocates was its first judge. Judge Synimes said that in those day the city court had no solicitor and that there are many people in Brunswick who regret that the same conditions do not prevail to-day. He said that tnere were no more factions In Bruns wick and Glynn county and pointed to a dozen or more officials now Holding office who did the same thing under the old ring. Judge Symmes an nounced tnat the man who iutimateu that he was trying to place those who were defeated by the Good Gov ernment club back into official places was a liar out of the whole cloth, lie challenged amy man present to show one act that Capt. Symons had ever done for Brunswick, und character i zed him as the old tellow who rec<>m mended his son as “having the great est desire and the least capability tor office of any man In the world." He said he expected to make many more speeches iu this campaign and if the officers and politicians did not come out to hear him he would speak at the front gates. He touched up the trolley itaso, and urged the people to get together. Judge Symmes pointed out the fact that Brunswick was to be a great sea .port, and he believed Col. Goodyear was the man to place at the helm of a rapidly growing city. He said some of the enterprises brought to Hruns wiett through the offices of Col. Good year, such as the old car line, the hotel at St. Simon, the Brunswick Company, etc., had failed, but while Brunswick received the benefits of tnem and that people made money rapidly, anr it **a due to a great financial panic that they failea. Hf dosed statonwu hs we* 14 the emnpetga to tfc* finish and expected to make Goodyej speeches all over the city. Cos!. Goodyear was next called for aud made a splendid talk. He sad he loved Brunswick too well to say unkind things of his fellow-citizens; he wanted to see Brunswick grow and prosper and whether elected mayor or not would work all his days to tha: end. He said that it had oeen charg ed that he was visionary, and he point ed out tne fact that to be vision try meant to be a firm believer In ones city, to tavor better schools, bettor sanitation, a system of paved streets, aud a healthier civic pride, together with a. healthier condition ,in , Bruns wick generally, then he van guilt/. He said the afternoon papdr in an editorial had charged him with strad dling, and had charged discourtesv because he had failed to give that publication a copy of his tetter of as ceptance. His legs were too short, he said, to straddle, aud the xact of the matter was he only gave his letter 01 acceptance to the notificat’on com mittee of the mass meeting ana asked neither of the local papers to print it. Witn reference to the straA tiUug proposition he said he stood ior "Progress and Prosperity, a system 01 trolley lines in Brunswick at au early date, and lastly, for municipal ownership, whenever that condition should become practicable. He said the only way to secure control of the present light and water plant was to buy It, and that as boob as the city was In position to do that ne favefi-ea it. 001. Goodyear was roundly ap plauded as he took his seat. Clia!rn\an Lambright announced that the uext thing irf order was the nomination of an alderman to take the place of j. C. Ligeour, retired trom the ticket, and instantly Capt. VV. IL Dart placed in nomination the name of ckpt. J. H. Leo’in a neat and complimentary manner.
