TO-DAY'S ELECTION.
IT MEANS 4 GREAT DEAL TO THE cITI
ZENs OF THIS CITY.
Where the Polls will be Held, and How
to Vote Effectively-A
Lady's Appeal.

This is an election day in this city. Elec-
tons come pretty often, but the people de-
mand and must have them. To-day's cleo
ton has no political significance whatever,
and Republicans and Democrats will for
once work on the same platform.
The question to be determined is: ''Shall
the city be raised out of the mud and mire,
and made respectable?"
This can be accomplished, and great
saving in taxes effected by the citizens vot-
ing in favor of the issuance of city bonds,
the proceeds of which shall be used ex.
clusively for defraying one-fourth the ex-
pense of raising and improving the public
streets.
1t is plain and simple business PROPOSE
ton. which no property-owner, or laborer,
or mechanic can, with any show of reason,
oppose.

THE BALLOTS.
All legal ballots will have both the
affirmative and negative of the proposition,
| and the voter must erase the one which
| he wishes to vote against. This seems like
very simple thing to comprehend, but
depositing unscratched ballots at elections
of this kind.
An unscratched ballot does not indicate
| the voters intention, and therefore counts
| for nothing. Friends of the bond PROPOSE
ton should therefore look carefully to
| their ballots.
THE RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.

night to President Croker of the
Southern Pacific Company requesting that
the employees of the company be allowed
| an hour, in addition to their noon hour, in
which to go TO the polls and vote In re-
ply thereto the following has been re-
| ceived:
SAN FRANCISCO, July s, 1890.
