that awaits their efforts in the November fight than in
perpexing calculations how far the fate Of the
Aayoralty may be affected by their triumph or their
defeat They have got their own work TO DO now and

The excitement OF the the ticket is
daily the increase and is pretty clear before it
decided that the Mayoay question must become TO some
extent involved in It. The colors OF the chiefs under
whom the captains fighting must be advanced, so
that the people may know they arc In their proper
ranks when the great comes on in December and
