The City and Town Elections.

of a Mayor awakens fair share of public interest in fact, judging from the activity displayed on Friday and Saturday among the workers on both sides, to-morrow's election is of rather more absorbing interest than common. The tickets are now in the field. The struggle, is, however, a many-sided one Great interest has, as usual, been manifested among the Democratic rank and file over the ward nominations. Some of the nomlna- tions were made Friday night, and the inter est was at full head at two o'clock the next morning, and some of the workers made night of it. The O'Keefe and Gilhuly trial of strength, one of the absorbing fea- lures of interest on the Democratic side has not wholly spent itself, if one of the cham pions has been declared in. the ascendant. There was great joy in the Seventh ward when the news was proclaimed at the primary that Gilhuly was 115 ahead, and a mighty shout of exultation arose from the throng of faith ful adherents who had long been awaiting the announcement of the result. The leading candidates are all we'll known to the people, especially as most of them have been alre ady in public life to more or less extent. Quite SOOu S1Z0O NObO 16 OAPOCbCO The Greenback element enters into the calcu- lations. It is an unknown quantity, which may or may not have weight in the contest, but the interest among the adherents of the par ty is of an undisguised and unmistakable character, indicative of zeal and determina- tion to do something. They are very proud of their May orally candidate, Mir. Henry Killam, and have a ratification meet ing tonight at Tyler's Hall, at which they expect him, and evince generally determi- nation to give him every honest vote in their power. They run ward ticket in only one ward, the Ninth ward, in which they have a club, and claim for it membership of 15O. Some of it's members are sanguine of the party's not only becoming more important in future elections, but even of becoming big enough to tackle the great political parties on an even chance for power. The organiza- tion in this city, on the other hand, is de- clared to be not only very weak, but too weak to accomplish anything, especially since portion of the membership has disowned the socialist element so called. This portion, who call themselves straight, unadulterated Greenbackers, claim that their disclaiming oA the socialists is going to add greatly to their party strength, and was a stroke which will draw many new recruits; in short, was great step toward making the Greenbackers felt. At the meeting they have tonight at Tyler's Hall, they depend upon having MT. Killam present in person to hurrah for, and after he has spoken calculate to have a rousing talk for their candidate for Town Clerk, Dr. John P. Phillips, whom they regard as one of their party war horses.
