governor told the 2. P. editor that he,
the governor, owed his nomination and
election in 1888 more to the efforts of
Sam Nichols thanany one else, and that
he had decided to give him the best
thing in his power as governor. 81

Aid. Conley's election in the Third
ward has all along been regarded as one
of those things about which there is
mo probable, possible shadow of
doubt; no possible doubt whatever;;"
and in these, the last days of the cam
paign, the contest is looking more one
sided than ever. The people of the
Third ward know good alderman
when they have one, and they do not
propose to make any change at present.
One of the brightest Democratic ora
tors in the present campaign is Tom
Martin, of the Eighth ward Tom is a
near relation TO Bishop HenneSsy, of
Dubuque, and has inherited great deal
of the Oratory which seems to run in
the family.
Henry Hinkens, who is the Republi-
can candidate for the council in the
Ninth ward, has not denied up to the
present time the charge that he Ske-
daddled to Canada in war times toevade
the draft. This charge was made by
William McTeague, of the Ninth ward
who declares that he can prove the
charge. How is this, Mr.. Hinkens?

but thus far has declined. The taxpayers
of the ward have no further use for him,
and this time we will elect a man to the
council who will represent our interests"

and Maria avenue, Saturday evening,
made by Hon. John w. Willis, T. D.
O'Brien, F. w. Bot, j. C.. Michael and

"We never Sleep" is evidently the
motto of the Eighth ward Democrats;
for last evening the Eighth Ward Dem
ocratic club held one of the best rallies
of the campaign at BrandPS hall, and,
large as is that meeting place, it was
crowded. The meeting was called to
order by President F. S. Battley, of the
club, who made fine speech showing
the necessity of every voter turning out
on next Tuesday and casting bal
lot for the straight Democratic ticket.
Capt. M. j. O'C0nnor made a very
neat address, and gave way to Hon. d.
w. LAWYER. who delivered one of his
best efforts in the line of campaign ora
tory. The long line of faithful Demo-
cratic administrations was alluded to
