Tomorrow.

Tomorrow will bring the grand
elimination of the political excite
ment, and we believe all will eXperi-
ence sense of relief when it is past.
We do not anticipate any disorderly
demonstrations. While there will be a
strong undercurrent of political war
fare, the peace and good order of the
city will remain unruffled. The sa-
looms will all be closed, in accordance
with the provisions of the State stat
utes, or at least they will not sell in
toxicating drinks. Enough interest
has been excited in the election to call
forth II full vote from our citizens, and
we trust that none will be so devoid of
public spirit as to let the day pass
without exercising their prerogative.
Vote early, that there may be no pos
sible chance of failure to cast the
ballot, and vote for the best mem
against all rings and monopolies and
for the good of the city and the com,
munity. The polling places and Off
GERS of election, as designated by the
Common Council, are as follows: q. 1 ,

From what we have already been
able to learn, we judge that there will
be many bogus tickets in circulation,

The law makes the following pro-

Every voter must be registered on
the Great Register of the county,; and
all parties registered since August lst,
1873, will be required to show certifi-
cate of regi straton from the County
Clerk. The election laws of the, State,
while the most eXacting, at the same
time offer the best protection to the
honest voter. Let every man recog-

ballot is the highest right guaranteed
him by his country, and that it is te
be used judiciously and uprightly.
