NOT 1nr.x on SUNDAY.


The fact that yesterday was Sunday did
not prevent active political work, and 1t
was principally done by the SchwaTz men,
the Thomas men generally refraning from
Sunday work The former are claiming
everything with confidence, and are assert
ing that prominent business men on the
Bay are for their candidate for mayor when
the very men they are claiming are out
ssoken and active for the regular demo
cratic ticket. This is being done to indu-
euce others and convey the idea at there
is a great boom for Schwarz for mayor, and
they claim tue solid coored vote, all the
Germans and Hebrews, half the Irish and
one-third of the native vote, which they
claim will give Schwarz 800 majority.
The Thomas men, on the contrary, say
the regular democratic ticket will get 500
majority; that they have 2, 100 voters who
will vote, and that they are legal voters,
aud Mr. Thomas election is sure.
The Schwarz men have money flowing
freely. Much Of it has been spent in pay
ing Ia xes. and the saloons are reaping
harvest. Much more will have to be used
tomorrow 10 hold the colorei auxiliary.
THE LIQUOR DEALERS.
They are circulating the roorback that
If Mr. Thomas is elected the liquor license
will be put w to 81 900, and on the strength
Of this industriously circulated yarn, they
dealers, and the votes Of 800 emplo, es of
liquor dealers.
A well-p9sted liquor dealer said last NIGHT
that Maj SchwarZ cannot get the votes of
any such number of liquor dealers and en-
ployes. and that while the German aud
negro liquor dealers will vote for Schwarz,
Thomas viii get the votes of all the rest.
a very careful watch will be made for
Illegal votes, and arrest and prosecution
will follow. 1t is expected that fully 300
Illegal votes will be kept out of the box by
the vigilance which will characterize the
work Of the force of well-posted democrats
who will be on duty about the polls.
TO REVISE THE LISTS.
The registration list viii be carefully re-
vised to-dav and tonight by committees of
the Democratic party appointed for that
purpose. The names of those who have
registered illegally will be furnished to
special committees and detectives, and upon
the first effort Of any such persons to vote
arrest and prosecution will follow. This
has been fully determined upon.
The estimate in the MORNING NEWS of
yesterday, that the registration would
reach 300. was thought manifestly too
much, and last night when the committee
of the Democratic party having the scrutiny
of the registered list learned that over 3, 800
voters we're registered, more vigilant work
at the polls was decided upon.
The fnal arrangements for tomorrow
election will be completed to-day, the or
gauization viii be perfected and, while
there has been no Boosting, and exagger
ated claims, the democrats say that they
will, as usual, carry the election by nearly
the usual majority, as the conservative ele-
ment will support the regular democratic
ticket heartily, believing that the best in
terests Of tie city demand that Mr.. Thomas
sho Id be mayor.
The Young Mems Democratic Club has
sent out the regular democratic tickets 70
all its members, and the solid vote of the
club viii be an important factor in aiding
in the election Of the democratic ticket.
