for the state senators is now pretty close.
Next Tuesday will finish. w. j. Knight
and J. K. Graves are the contestants.
Graves to be successful must overcome
Democratic majority of $500. He is pop
ular. He has made strong canvass UNI

county ticket, his fellow Republicans hay
ing refused to run, certain of de-
feat. 1t is true Mr.. Graves won
four years ago in contest for the
same Office, but the Democratic party was
not then so well united as at present Then
the Telegraph with its present management
was his tirmest support, and there was dis
satisfaction in the First ward. the Irish

Democrats in the comfy canvassed openly
for Mr.. Graves. The liquor interest was
avowedly in his favor If he wins now it
must be without any of these supports. He

the part of the Democratic sheriff and

Tuesday will contain complete answers to
the charges made above the signatures of the
officers charged with crime, and who will
also ask that they be arrested in order to be
vindicated. The document has acted as a
boomerang, and it is already said that the

show that the people are not in sympathy
with such underhanded and malicious pro-
ceedings.
