faUf thrse working DAYS remain between this and
Tie closing Of the polls. That they will be faith
Aaliy employed by nll who are favorable to the
success Of the citixeuss ticket and wise, eeono-
rAical ard honest administration Of our municipal
affairs, we fnlly hope and believe, and take much
satisfaction in announcing the fact to the public
The belief that the triumph Of the gentlemen
Who compose tho Citizens ticket will ensure to
the public at the beneicent results its friends

obstacle and that difficulty lay in the apprehen-
