It is Proposed to Abolish the Feature of Local District Representation on the County Executive Committee. Also to Submit to the General Pri mary the Selection of Delegates to the Various Conventions as Well as the Legislative Candidates The Matter to Be Passed Upon by the Citizens’ Club and the Opposition. The mass meeting of the voters of the Third district, held ... the Savannah theater last night, was a very harmonious one. The meeting, as announced, was called for the pur pose of electing delegates and committeemen at large from the Third district. This, how ever, was not done, as the meeting decided by a unanimous vote to indorse what the gentleman composing the conference commit- * tee had decided upon, which was as follows: “Resolved, That we recommend to the dif ferent political clubs and organizations belong ing to the Democratic perty of Chatham county and those members of the party not allied with any club or organization, that a general primary election be held at the court house in Chatham county on July 10, under the law regulating primary elections in this state, and additional regulations hereinafter provided, lor the election of twenty-live (25) democrats of Chatham county, who shall con stitute the democratic executive committee for the county for the ensuing two years from the date of theii election, for delegates to the gubernatorial, senatorial and congressional conventions and formembers of the legislature from this county. “That the same number of ballot boxes and arrangement be provided at said primary m-igyidesl at state and county elections, and each onßudUiiiot brrxwshall be prz 1 sided over by four (I) democrats as man agers, two to be chosen bv each of the opposing factions of the democracy, pro vided that no one holding oflice of any kind, either municipal, state or federal, shall be competent to preside at such primary. “That only qualified registered white voters of the county shall be entitled to vote at such primary. ‘‘That a test of the voter’s democracy shall be his support of the nominees of the democratic party in the most recent national and state election, and the managers shall have the power to administer an oath as to this test.

Mr. A-.derson, in opening the meeting, said that there had been two gentlemen named for chairman at the adjourned meeting—Hon. F. G. dußignon and V/. G. Cann. One of them, he said, Mr. dußignon, had been called away from the city, which left Mr. Cann with out opposition. He then asked if there were any other nominations, and L. A. Fal'.igant was put up by some one during the cheering of the Tammany club at the mention of Mr. Cann’s name. Tammany wanted to elect Mr. Cann, but that gentleman placed Mr. J. Randolph Anderson in nomin ation, and while it met with opposition, Mr. Anderson declared himself elected for obvious reasons. The meeting had been called, Mr. Ander son said, for the purpose of holding an election, but in view of the fact that a com mittee of gentlemen, representing both sides had reached an agreement by which harmony in party ranks could be restored, he thought it would be well to know what the agree ment was, and asked if it was the pleasure of the meeting to have the gentlemen make their report. A storm of applause went up, after which there was not a dissenting voice against the conference submitting its report. Mr. Cann, after Chairman Anderson announced Wbe Wails Wwpatcb. that the next business was the election of a secretary, placed Mi. A. Guckenheimer in nomination, and he was elected. THE RESOLUTION APPLAUDED. Mr. Cann supplemented the reading of the resolution with a few remarks. "The situa tion that has confronted the democratic party for the past two wccks, in fact, 1 may say, for the past two months (a voice, yes, and for the past four years), has been a most serious one, and in order to bring about harmony, the gentlemen who are with you have held a con ference and come to an understanding.” He then proceeded to read the report,which was done in his usual clear, forcible and business-like manner. After Mr. Cann had finished reading the resolution, cheer after cheer went up, as the gentleman expressed himself as favoring an honest election, pure ballot and fair count. WHITE-WINGED PEACE. At the conclusion of the reading of the , resolution Chairman Anderson wanted to 1 know the pleasure of the meeting in regard < to the resolution. A motion was put to , adopt it, but Mr. Arthur Weil, desired to j know if the Tammany and 150 Club was one faction and the Citizens' Club the other. ! Mr. Cann replied that the conference com- I mittee held that there was • nlv two factions | in the fight, after which Maj. Ryals seconded the motion and made a short speech The . report of the conference committee was then accepted without a dissenting voice. BOTH SIDES WERE READY. , The followers of Tammany and the Citi- I zens' Club were there in force, ready and i eager for the fray, and neither calculated to ■ have their trophies sullied in the least. Both sides had tellers at the door who did thetr work in a quiet, yet thorough manner. But . few men were questioned as to their right of j admittance. When Mr. Herman Myers entered, which was about ten minutes before • the meeting was called to order, he was , given a long round of applause as he took his scat on the Citizens' Club side. Mr. , Cann was also given an ovation when he entered and took his seat with the tigers. A conservative estimate of the meeting The Daily Dispatch thinks would be 750, of which each side seemed to have an equal number and if there was a difference it was slightly in favor of the Citizens’ Club people. Mr. (aim Answered. Editor Daily Disfulcb: Referring to Hie card of Mr. Cann and others in yesterday's issue of the Press, I beg to say that I never understood at any time that the conference was a closed one. My impression was that it was a gathering from all thepolitic.il elements, with a view of harmonizing all political in terests by providing for primary elections. I ascertained that the Railroad Club was not represented, as they had all the time been allied with us I saw no reason why we should have a conference without al least giving ;VL ilmfeMjulo what was going on. I brought our side. I never at anytime understood that I had to consult with the other side as to who should represent us. My sole desire was to present to the meeting pe >ple who could make the primary a go. The objection to these gentlemen seems particularly strange in view of the fact that at the first conference a gentlemen was present who was not included in the original call. If the other side had had an element unrepresented and at any subsequent meet ing brought in other representation with the statement that it would assist in the effort to solve the problem lam sure our people would have gladly welcome them. I make this statement in justice tothe gentlemen excluded; they were without fault in the matter. They were there at my invi tation, and 1 considered at that time, and still consider, that I had a perfect right to in vite them. Respectfully, W. W. Osborne.

IT IS PESTILENTIAL. THE FOUL FLOW OF FILTHY BILBO SHOULD BE COVERED UP. Ten Thousand Water Closets Feed Its Open Channel With the Fever Germs of Plague, Pestilence and Death—lts Flood Gates Impede the Progress of the Sewage to the Point of Discharge. The People Demand Relief, and No More Delay. The position of The Daily Dispatch in urg ing prompt action for relief from the dangers of Bilbo canal has awakened a sentiment of general approbation, and tlifcre is a demand that the city should not be subjected another summer and fall t j this dangerous open sewer, that carries on its bosom and lodges on its banks the seeds of pestilence and death. Bilbo canal between Gwinnett street bridge and the Standard Oil Company’s property, combination flood-gates cut oil and confine the sewage flow to the river from nine-tenths of the city, and exposes for hours, between tides, to our broiling suns of summer, a seeth ing mass of conupting filth, impregnating the air we breathe with its poisonous gases. PESTILENCE BREEDING. These exhalations arc such as are likely at any time to bring pestilence or plague upon the city. The astute conceiver of this flood gate abomination must have lost sight of the fact that he was penning up and exposing to the fervid heat of a semi-tropical summer sun for hours the accumulated discharge of 10,000 water closets in“his zeal to provide tor a head of filth to scour filth out of a filthier canal. It is one ot those instances where the remedy is worse than the disease. In two or three instances within a year when storm water from heavy rains and from overflowing privies in that neighborhood, found their way to the open canal, these flood-gate were either closed or inadequate to pass the combined rush of storm water and filth through the gates and tor days after the adjacent lands on both sides showed crusts of dried filth and mud upon which the sun had had full play until the combination baked and crumbled into dust, fill' of germ life that was scattered by the winds over the entile city. Tin; FLOOD GATES SHOULD GO. The stench arising from these overflows was unbearable. This flood-gate abortion should go at once. It does not free the canal from the deposit of filth as was calculated and the city has no right to accumulate this filth under our blazing summer sun for flushing purple,, It is L’etter to let the filthy stream of filth wind ils slii pT.'tf'rnui.’e" to the river in a natural way (han to attempt to keen it back to drive more filth out by such super-scientific insanity. NO OPEN SEWER SHOULD BE TOLERATED There is but one solution of the foul and loathsome situation. Il should be closed up, and then it may be banked up and flushed at pleasure. Then Hie sun’s lays will not beat upon it; then ils stench will not be swept into the city by every wind; then it will not overflow and sprea 1 its tottening sewage upon the low lands, nor be lodged in the vegeta tion that skiits its banks; then ils polluted waters will not furnish drink for the milch cows to poison infants who are fed the germ infected milk. It is a crime to continue t, and if the city council will not afford relief, it is the sentiment of many that the courts should be appealed to to compel Hie authorities to make Bilbo canal a closed sewer. WORLD’S OUTPUT OF GOLD t.rriiler In ISBIt Than in Any bin- Hcrortled In History. Washington, June 10—[By Post il Co.]— Mint Director Preston has transmitted to Congress an important statement of the gold and silver output of the United St ites and other countries. He estimates the approxi mate gold yield of the United States in 1893 at 1,739,323 fine ounces, valued at $35,955,- I 000, as compared with 1,597,100 fme ounces, valued al $33,014,981 in 1892. The United States still holds the first place in the gold-producing countries of the world. Mr. Preiton revises the estimated production of silver in the United States in 1892, as stated bv E. O. Leech, his predecessor. Mr. Leech placed the production at 58,000.000 ounces, of the coinage value of 874,989,900. Mr. Preston shows that the output was 63,- 500,000 fine ounces, of the coinage value of $82,101,110. The world’s production of gold in 1893 is estimated at $155,521,700, showing an in crease over 1892 of $9,224,100. The world’s silver output of 1893 was $907,895,400, an increase over that of 181)2 of $10,664,900. Facts brought to light in the report show that the world’s output of gold in 1393 is the largest in history, and that the value of the gold alone available in 1893 for monetary pur poses was greater than the total value of both gold and silver available for monetary pur | poses in the years just preceding tjm beginning of the depreciation of silver.

Information comes from Tallahassee that the supreme court of Florida is now reviewing the injunction which judge Call granted the Duval Athletic Club in January last, restrain ing the sheriff from interfering with the i Corbett-Mitchell prize fight, it is understood that Gov. Mitchell is behind the case, as he is convinced that Judge Call’s decision is con trary to law, and he wants the supreme court to finally pass upon the legality ot prize lighting in Florida. It is understood that the ’ governor wants the question speedily decided in view of tlie newspaper reports that a club is arranging to pull off another mill in Jack sonville. It is the general opinion that the supreme court will overrule Judge Call’s ruling in re gard to prize tights; but even should he be ■ sustained in his contention that prize fights , are not violative of Florida laws, it is said that Gov.
