carry four of the eight wards, thus gaining

Seventh. The candidacy of Cutter is in
tolerable TO many in the Fifth ward. and
that Of Philips is growing in popularity. so
that it is not improbable that he will get
enough votes of honest Republicans TO give
him handsome majority. In the Fourth
Bernard ClOutier is making great strides
and bids fair to be elected. w. r. Guile in
the Second, is endorsed by all the best peO-
pie. and will make it warm for johnson.
Aid. Lawrence, in the Eighth, is doomed.
His best friends are deserving him for
Filteau, the peoples candidate, who will

Prohibitionists as their candidate for alder

and engaged in business for himself five

his ability TO manage the affairs of the
city.
For the position he has no superior in the
ward, and the best interests of the city will
be cherished and protected by his election.

now as though Marble would poll more
votes than Babcock and become Stoft's
chief competitor. The Republicans of the
Sixth ward can fight each other hard, as
has been shown.

the strain and away he will go. Such will
ever be the fate OF stradlers.. Charles Fill
