The Interest 10 tho Result becoming In.
tsnso-The Result safe, If
When the polls close at 0 o'clock this
evening 1t will be decided who shall be
Mayor, who shall be Chief Of Police and
who shall compose the City Council for
the next two years. The ordinance re-
-quires that the polls shall be opened at
Z a. m, and closed at 6p. m. Last night
the Judges and clerks Of election were
sworn in ct the City Clerks Office by
Acting Mayor Cruise, and were given the
poll books and ballot boxes. The re-
turns will be received and filed at the
same place this evening.
The interest in the result has been
lively all along, but has within day or
80 become intense. The main fight has
been on Chief Of Police. John O, De.
vine, the Republican candidate, has
frightened Chief Delbrugge and his sup
porters, and the result has been that
they have redoubled their efforts. Del
brugRe has the advantage Of the support
OF those TO whose interest It Is TO have ga
looms, policy games and gambling in
generalrun wide open, butt is believed
that this time the better class is aroused
and the gamblers and toughs will not be
able to have their own sweet will.
The police have not done much for
month"; past but electioneer. They have
confined their efforts to work for Del
bruRge, and 1t looks as if..they did not
care what Mayor seabrght's fate was.
The whole police department has been
kicking for q year, at least, on the way
Seabright has run the police court, and
the Mayor could certainly kick back
with Justice at the way the force has neg.
lected its business for politics fora month
or more.
The nominees for members Of Council
have been discussed individually and
collectively, and theTesul on the aver
age Is admitted by every frank citizen to
be advantageous to the Republican
ticket. The part the third ticket may
play In the contest can scarcely be con.
iectured, but the Indications are that
i will cut smaller figure, even, than
usual. Those who are honestly DESTROYS
OF good government will vote for the
best OF those men who stand come show
OF election, and not evade their respon.
sibility' as citizens by throwing away
their ballots on "barren ideality."
There is every reason TO believe that
the Republicans will elect good part
OF their ticket II those voters who want
| It elected come to the polls and vote,
Voters should deposit their tickets early,
30 that the committee may be able to gel
in the backward vote without waste Of
time and energy.
