EVERYTHING SERENE.
The City Campaign Went Along
Smoothly Yesterday.
The Last General Round. Up Resulted IN Con.
fdence OF Victory on Both Sides
The Speeches Last Night.

The last general roundup OF the
mayoralty race took place last night,
and as usual both sides are confident.
1t will be we'll If the Peter Smith
| forces expend every energy tomorrow in
polling a full vote and every possible
| Peter Smith vote. No battle is won IN
til it is fought, and Peter Smith will not
| be oeI tain OF election until the polls close
| Monday night. Scores of Smith voters
are out of the city, the voters on the
! other side are on hand and are rustling.
| The Peter Smith forces must work like
! Trogans in the Third and Fourth wards
especially. They must vote every Smith
man in the other wards. Apathy and
over confidence are dangerous things.
| Both must lie thrown to the winds on
| Monday morning.

THE FIFTH WARD.
In the Fifth ward, near the Houston
and Texas Central depot, last night
gathered good sprinkling of the
voters of that section to hear
speeches by the Democratic cham
pions. Col. Peter Smith was, as usual,
terse, but practical and convincing. He
reiterated his pledges to deYote his ener-
gies and talents If elected with single
view to the upbuilding of the city and the
prosperity of her citizens, knowing
no ward or other sectional divisions,
but treating all parts of the city alike.
He was followed by Col. A. J Chambers.
Mr.. James Davis made a rafting talk
in which he appealed to the practical
sense of his hearers, urging the voters to
throw off the shackles of prejudice
and vote for Peter Smith
who, besides having record
as q friend of the city and of the people,
was in position by reason of his influence
and personal strength to add to the
greatness OF the city il made mayor.
Mr.. Davis stated Mr.. Smith IS standing on
the leading local issues, and told of how
Mr.. Smith had performed the duties of
mayor when he held the office before,
and how when relegated to the walks of
private life he had not ceased in well
doing.
VIM. Barr made practical talk for
Col. Smith.
Col. Smith himself made the closing
speech. Having been asked what he
had to say about the North
vantage that bridge would be
that he was not responsible for the hoary
chestnut that ''six bits day is enough
tor any laboring man. :"
a communication RAID fr0r1
George Mes in which he regretted that
sudden call from the city prevented his
addressing the voters last night, but
affirming his intention of supporting and
aiding tine election of J Peter Smith.
The speeches were listened to atten-
lively, and what with the music dis
coursed by Professor Ault's band, those
present were well pleased with the event.
In the Seventh ward was more speak
ing. There Messrs. T. J Powell, George
Armstrong and others made stirring ap-
peals TO a good crowd to stick to the
friend of Fort Worth, J. Peter Smith.
As the result of the meeting some twenty
or more additional signatures were OBJ
tanned to the Seventh ward Peter Smith
club.
And so ends the last day left for work.
