but persistent canvass is the line being ac-
lively pursued by them. An ArPEAL re-
porter ran upon Assessor G. i. Smith yes
terday, as that gentleman was moving
toward weak spot in the enemy's line,
and escorted him to shady and COM

sour full duty, night and day. We
were up and busy until | o'clock this
morning in the Fifth, Sixth and Tenth
wards. In talking to the people quietly,
we were much encouraged, and have no
reason to anticipate defeat"
what about the dread expressed that
Mr.. A. S. Meyers will deprive the party OF
its Jewish strength"
From personal investigation am con-
| fident he will not. The Jews are too in
telligent to be lead OIL by the common
| enemy in that way. Accompanied by
representatives of that race, we called upon
| a large number OF them, and found not q
single one who even harbored the idea OF
| deserving their party TO aid one who had
gone astray. The Jews as class are too
thoroughly Democratic.

sary we will take IN the entire county, but

Were it not for the independent and
fusion movement among Ministerial candl-

OF these districts, know the ticket is all
right Mr.. j. L. Young and Mr.. John L.
Elliott will attend TO the Fourteenth, |
know all about the Thirteenth, and these
will not require general warming up all
along the line. In my district we will get
the full Democratic strength and more too.

Have you heard OF any treachery in
the camp"
"Not word, and do not believe there
il any"
Mr., WILLIAMS Is CONFIDENT.
Mr.. Joe J. Williams, for the trustecship,
wears more cheerful countenance and
brighter smile than he did a few days ago.
The reporter found him in a PARTICULARLY
pleasant mood and inquired after the
cause.
"Ihe prospect grows brighter every
day, and We are hustling early and late.
| All that is necessary for us TO win the day
is for the voters TO stay at home and work.
| The Jews are Democratic to the core, and
my apprehension Of danger from that
quarter has been entirely removed. Mr..
Meyers is an elegant gentleman, and has
his people with him in ordinary aiiains,
but not 10 the extent OF eleyating the
darky above the whites"
"What will be your majority in the
city?n
Gully enough TO offset any shortage in
the country, where candidates for magis-
tratc are fighting each other. City people
are holding up in leaving and will fight
every inch OF ground"
Mr.. M'LESDoN sANGuISE.
Mr.. Andrew j. Mclendon was busy
yesterday at his desk in the sheritls office
lie had been out until an early morning
hour the night before conducting m
earnest campaign for himseliand associates
on the regular ticket.
"What do you think Of It, now2" asked
the reporter.
"The ticket is all right" said he. "a

the clouds have passed away. am very
sorry the candidates for magistrates in In,
