8 *TALH ABOUT THE TICKET. n\ HAT IS SAID ABOUT THU LEG ISLATIVE CAMIIDATtS. Tlie Knight* of Labor null Liquor Deal* ora Jubtlant Ovor their Nominations The I;• gnUr Denwcrecj Iticilund to ho Independent Ticket—The Primary Si tem Advocated Stir Among the County Officer*—The Keo!utloC IU -eaaaed. 'l'be lesris:ative ticket nominated by the Court House square meeting on Friday bight was pretty well discussed jester flay. Tbe Knights of Labor politicians generally expressed their approbation of It, but the regular Democracy did not fall into line with anything like good force, and the majority did not lall in at nil. A prominent Knight said he liked the Ticket very well. If he had named it, he .said, he would have made some changes, but altogether be was satisfied. The liquor dealers do not have much to yav, but it is evident that they approve the ticket from top to bottom, and that they /propose to see it win. AS INDEPENDENT TICKET. , The leaders of the regular Democracy ®re, of course, dissatisfied. Althotiga de feated in the mass meeting a number ex pressed confidence yesterday in being able Wo put an independent ticket in the field [that will deteat the present nominees. [While there is a good deal of talk about nuuuing an independent ticket there has Ibeen no move in that direction. VA number of prominent Democrats were teeen and asked whether anythingis likely So l>e done, but nobody seemed to know, Dndso far as coukl he learned last, night [the Knights and liquor dealers will have khings their own way. IN FAVOR OF PRIMARIES. i The conduct of the Friday night’s meet leg has stirred up the Democracy, and there is a stronger feeling than ever In lavor of primary elections. “The present political movement, engineered by an or ganized taction,” remarked a prominent s>emocrat “has shown the Deinooraov [what it iias got to contend with in the fu ture. I believe,” he said, "that either of line men on the tioket arc capable of rep resenting Chatham county, but its gen eral composition is not such 11s to com knaud the confidence or respect of a ma jority of ihe Democracy. I do not be lieve in knifing the ticket,” he went on. •■Tue Labor party captured the mass Fleeting and nomiiia'ed their candidates ■imply because tba Democracy was msleep.” THE COUNTY OFFICERS’ FEES. The resolutions adopted by the meeting Avere widely discussed. They were not [altogether approved by many who voted ■or them. Tne resolution demanding tbut Hne fees charted by the various county Wfflcers shall be no more in this county kban they are in other counties created a fctir among tbe magistrates and consta bles and some of tbe other county officers, p’be last grand jury recommended a gen leral reduction in fees. It is under stood that Mr. Wilson if elected will [advocate the measure. Tbe fees of coumy Officers in this county are larger tnan in ny other county in the State. Their re *l action has been urged, and the move "will be supported by the new ticket. Q'bere was some talk of a meeting of mag istrates and constables yesterday to oppose the election ot any candidate who Will advocate a reduction in fees. DISCUSSING THE RESOLUTIONS. Quite a number ot matters upon Which new legislation is “demand led” are already provided for in the ■State code. A prominent lawyer, in Reviewing the resolutions adopted by Woe meeting, pointed out yesterday the matters upon which legislation has al eady been had. “Tbo public lands.” he |said, “cannot lie given to railroads or speculators. Tbe constitution now pro vides that ‘the General Assembly shall pot. by vote, resolution or order grant any [donation or gratuity in favor of any per sons, corporations or associations.* The jungranted lands now in the State arc con siderable. It one owned them all he would not be worth much. ‘•There are, it is true, discriminations In our law, but always in favor of labor, pjtborcrs. mechanics, machinists, hand lers—ail have liens. None are declared jeunenor except taxes and the liens oi [landlords on the crops raised on their Band. The wages of laborers areexempt, snd a SI,OOO hunestead can gen- f 'rally cover their property. So e laborer’s creditors are [generally at their mercy. But for work kionebv them they have liens, which may ■ enerally be foreclosed summarily witn jout notice to their debtors. The merchant rwbn sells them has only an opeu account ■taim. which he can reduce to judgment, ut some expense, and with no chance, Hsa ku'e, ot collecting lrom one not willing to kiav. Tbe Supreme Court has recently de cided that the waiver of tne right to ex it mnt the wages does not bind the laborer hnd that he raav claim the exemption not, [withstanding bis agreement that the •w ages shall be subject. UNJUST DISCRIMINATIONS. “•Tbedlscriminatlone in tbeadminlstra ition'of justice’ when made are generally, an fact, almost invariably in lavor of the oor men. Ten out of twelve petit jurors *ire poor men and they naturally svnipa jtnize with a poor suitor, who is opposed by one more favored as regards this The experience of law yersis that they can generally win a cause lor a poor client much more easily nid certainly tnan one for a wealthy client. “In the mat ter of protection of the life er those engaged in manufacturing and ether industries an employer is now liable jto an employe for an injury due to the Jaultof the former (like the failure to furnilu proper safeguards), when tbe em ploye is not at iaitit. This principle has been frequently recognized by the courts. Jt is a general principle of law. Wo hare full prbilration laws now for ‘all matters pn controversy,’ and awards have the Effect of judgments ” There are a number In the Knights of fLabor party who believe that a 'stronger t eket could have been nominated—one that vvou and have gamed the confidence end the voieg ol tbe people. The nomi nation of Messrs. Young, Mclntyre and all members of the organization, would have been inuoised. Mr. Leopold stated yesterday that ins immo was used without his knowledge or consent, and that he has no ambition to enter politics. IS IT KING HU M 2? Tlic Result of Friday Night’s Mass Meeting. Editor Morning Erics: The meeting Fridav night was a combination between jhc R publicans and the worst elemon t in Hie Knights of Labor. The whole thing Is a monstrosity, and Savannah is sad dled again with ring rule. Tbo Knights 01 Labor have declared they were not a political organization. Yet the only thing they have ever done iu this community la to muddle politic*. They have been toostlle l> lawyers, yet they nominated two. They profess to be Democrats, yet the banditti of white Republicans here are iiigli In office, have controlled committees and shouti and tbe loudest at tbo meeting*. They put out a platlorm declaring against the continuance of the City Court and unusual lees in Chatham, yet they put up a man wno lattens ou the City Court, and a representative ol a crowd Who were instrumental in passing these exorbitant too bills and who have derived the benefits Horn them. It was announced by their speakers that those names bad been agreed on ataoaucusol the Knights <>t Labor, therefore fry are Knights of Labor candidates ostensibly, but really ; ibe old ring rule Savannah has suflered from so inuclt. if Savannah is controlled by Knights of Labor the rest of the Stale, which is Democratic, will not listen to Chatham’s voice in the Legislature. The platlorm is a characteristic mix ture of necessary measures and commu nistic dynamite. Secret organizations go into politics for one of two pur- I poses; either to impress people with [ far greater strength than tbev really possess or else for disreputable methods. |if the outsiders would register tbe Knights’ strength would be easily bro ken. Is it not time to make tbe issue? If properly organized and properly man ! aged the Knights would deserve and re | ceive the support of everyone. If they were open and above board, which is ! American, not secret, which is commu nistic, and would state it. a manly way what is wrong, their influence would be permanent. Let the old ticket be called tbe “Re spectable Ticket,” ard each mao feel It his duty to vote that ticket. There are many true, honest Knights who will pre serve their eelt-respeot and benefit their order by voting this ticket. Let outsiders present a solid front against this ticket and the Knights until they put dowu Re publicans aud demagogues. Democrat. THE MASS MEETING. Tlie People Advised Against Politi cal Measures Fostered iu Secret < Irgauizat ions. Editor Morning News : The meeting of last Friday evening, and the tenor ol the resolutions passed thereat, disclose the fact tbut tbo liiiights oi Labor have re solved themselves into a political party in this county. We have here a state of affairs always dreaded as most menacing to republican and free institutions — namely, a class oi men banded together for political purposes, meeting In secret conclave, and bound by pledges unknown to the public. As long as the Knights confined themselves to their associations and assemblages, convened for their social and personal advantages, no one could object; but now that they have stepped into the political arena—these men. meeting in their exclusive and stcret assemblies and doubtless bound together by secret oaths, pledges and obligations—whocan prophesy the result? As to their availing themselves ol a call ot the Democracy to initiate their political career, it is a wrong perpetrated on tbe Democratic party The leaders at that meeting bad no right to be there. They were not Democrats—at least their plat lorm and their methods are entirely at variance with all Democratic antecedents. I pray that no true Democrat may be de ceived Into a mistaken allegiance to this pai ti-coiored affair. It was intended to he a Democratic meeting, but it was in vaded and taken possession of by a secret organization which, if successful, will destroy the Democratic party, if, indeed, it does not assail the organic principles of free government. Fellow citizens, set your faces against political measures initiated and iostered in secret organiza tions! These people inav declare them selves to be Democrats, but while “the voice is Jacob’s voice, the hands are the hands of Esau.” Pro P ATRIA. NOT RECOGNIZABLE. The Meeting Composed of Elements Hostile to the Democratic Party. Editor Morning Mews : I have read in your Saturday morning issue the proceed ings of the so-called Democratic meeting of Friday night. I have been a Democrat my whole life time, always voting the regular ticket (except in tbecaseof HoraceGreelv) and conforming to strict Democratic doctrine. But 1 fall to recognize in the heterogene ous crowd of Friday night the usual har monious elements of the Democracy. There were ' black spirits and white, red spirits and gray,” Republicans, inde dents and malcontents of every kind and description. Nor can any Democratic doctrine be seen in the revolutionary screed called, by courtesy, l suppose, the “resolution.s” If anything beupparenttt is that the meeting was made up of all tbe elements hostile to the Democratic party. Let no true Democrat, laithful to the tra ditions ot the great past, be beguiled into votlugfor this bogus ticket. Citizen. NOT IN FAVOR OF IX. The Commission Resolutionj That AVas on the Programme Rut Not I'assoU. Editor Morning .Vries : In your report of Friday night’s miss meeting it appears that the followiug resolution was adopted: “That the powers of the Railroad Com mission be maintained and, if need be, strengthened and enlarged.” That is not correct. The resolution was read, but the mover was told he had made a mis take, and he instructed the secretary of the meeting to strike it out, which he did. The resolutions were then read by the secretary and passed !>v the meeting, w ith the above offensive (io railroad em ployee) paragraph stricken out. i’luase correct the mistake. We do not wish to he understood as layering any such arbi trary Railroad Commission as the State of Georgia has.

Savannah, Oa„ Sept. 25.— Editor Morning News'. Your report of tbo Fri day night mass mooting says the Knights of Labor and liquor dealers coalition ticket was nominated. As the K nights ot Labor exclude liquor dealers from their organization their interests must he an tagonistic. It seems to me, therefore, that the candidates should sav how they stand, how many are for the liquor inter ests, and to what extentf Tuere are hundreds of men in this community who are opposed to the sale of liquor in any way, and they certainly do not care to be represented by men who go to the Legisla ture with the avowed intention of repre senting the liquor interests. And there are others not opposed to well regulated liquor traffic, but who do not care to take anything that the liquor men might pro pose. So lot the candidates say how they staud.

Tbo late earthquake did considerable visible damage to chimneys through out the city by shaking off their tops. It is possible that tbe flues of some chimneys are niso cracked where the damage is not visible, and are liable, unless promptly repaired, to result in tires. A timely notice from the repre sentatives in this city ol the several Fire Insurance Companies, calls the attention of owners and occupants of buildings to the importance of a thorough inspection of fireplaces an,l flues. Avery large percentage of fires can be traced to defective chimneys and heating flues, and the danger from those causes lias doubtless been great iv In creased bv the recent disturbances.

The earthquake, through which the country has recently passed, is held ac countable for some strange occurrences, but one ot the most remarkable is the pe culiar way in which a young lady in Sa vannah was affected. During tbe shock of Friday night following the first great shock on Aug. 31 the family with which the young lady resided on l’erry street ran out Into the street, the young lady along with the others. After remaining out a few min utes they returned to tbe house and were standing in the hallway discussing the shock, when tbe young lady suddenly sank to the floor with the exclamation, “Oh, mamma, 1 can’t stand up.” She was carried up stairs to her room and laid on tbe bed. A physician was summoned and after a brief examination pronounced it a complete ease of paraiy sisofboth the lower limbs. With the exception of a slight fever for a few days before, which had not been severe enough to conflne her to her bed, the voung lady had been as well as any one, and she was naturally possessed of a flue constitution and excellent health. Another and perhaps the more remark able feature of the case was that she seemed to lose all recollection of events that occurred within the past seven or eight years, nor does she remember things that were done or remarks that, were made in her immediate presence. She lrequenily asks a question of someone, and alter being an swered will witbin a few seconds re peat thesamequeation, entirely forgetting that she has asked it. She remained in this condition up to a few clays ago, being utterly helpless and unable to walk a step, when she gradually began to regain tne use of her limbs, and can now, by be ing supported, walk half the length of a room. Her memory is still clouded as to past events, and she soon forgets what she sees or hears. Herphvsiolan pronounces it the most remarkable case that ever came under his treatment, and can account for it only by the theory that the young lady’s system was in a condition to be affected by tbe eleotricity in the earth at the time of tbe shock. He says that she is in a fairway (or recovery now, and will soon be Excitement lu Texas Great excitement has been caused in tbe vicinity ol Paris, Tex., by the remark able reoovery of Mr. J. E.

In the majority of cases thede cision is in tavor of a practical ami useful course of study, tbe fruits of which can be early gathered—a course that enables the possessor to conduct business success fully, or fill clerkships acceptably aud profitably. The school of phonography, bookkeep ing, type writing, penmanship and telegraphing, conducted duriug the past two years at 114 Liberty street as a night school.

Aloiiif the Track anti Crossties. Tbe construction of the new line be tween Jesup and Jacksonville is pro greasing very rapidly, aud the road will toon be finished. The earnings of the Cincinnati South ern division ot the Queen and Crescent system tor the second week of September show an Increase ut $8,047 over those of the corresponding week of last year. The national convention of pgpsenger agents, recently in session in New York, appointed a committee to devise a uni form through ticket. This was done In the interest of conductors, who have a great deal of trouble with the through tickets now in use, on account of the dif ferences in their forms. The announcement has been made that E. B. Wilson, General Passenger Agent of the Cincinnati Southern railway, and for the past five months arbitrator and commissioner of the Southwestern and other passenger associations, will receive the appointment oi General Passenger Agent of the Chicago and Northwestern. The Palatka News says that the Savan nah, Florida and Western, it is said, is trying to pool with the Florida Railway and Navigation to help complete its line to Tampa and work in harmony for the carrying of the Cuba mails. In ihe event that this arrangement oannot be effected the Savannah, Florida and t’estern will build a line from Gainesville to Pember ton terry, connecting their broken link. The grading on the Sanford and Lake Eustis railroad was completed about Sept. 1, and the ties were ready by Sept. 15. One thousand tons of iron are now upon the ground, and as much more is on the way, and all will be there by tbe time that is laid. Track laying will probably commence next week, and it is expected will be completed by Nov. l. Col. Stewart has the contract for laying tne iron. The Macon and Athens. A Montlcelio letter states that not ex ceeding thirty hands are now at work on tbe entire line of the Macon and Athens road. The trouble seems to have been that Ferguson, tbo contractor, took the money paid him by tho Macon and Athens road to pay off his hands on the Savannah and Dublin road, on which ho also had a contract, so be could not settle with the men on the former road, and they quit, work. Last Saturday he promised to pav them off. but failed to do so, and then tried to borrow rations in the neighborhood to feed them. The contract has now been taken from him and given to Col. James M. Smith of Oglethorpe, a perfectly reliable gentle man. who will at once s j t to work with about one hundred and fifty convicts, and who will complete the road in the time agreed on. Passenger Kate War. The reduction in passenger rates via Southern and Southwestern roads went into JJj'ect on Sept. 20. The reduction was brought about principally by the applica tion to the pool of toe East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia or Shenandoah Val ley road, into whose territory the Balti more and Ohio has been making serious inroads by reason of tbo cut made by the latter road to the Mississippi river aiid in termediate points via Cincinnati. As soon as permission was obtained from the pool circulars were distributed by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia line announcing the figures of the reduc tion, which are from $7 to $4 below the prices that t ad been current under the pool, and which circulars closed by stat ing that tickets would tbereatter be as cheap by that line as by any other. As soon as this notice became public the Baltimore and Ohio people sent out a gen eral order to agents to meet this reduc tion. and a lively scrimmage for pas sengers will probably ensue. Tbe reduc. tion affects the Piedmont Air Line, the Western Maryland road, the Delmar route via Norfolk and other shorter and connecting lines as well as the East Ten ness, Virginia and Georgia.
