Tue Two Tickets.

The Two Tickets.
This is the last opportunity the RE-
ruBLIcASw will have to say word to urge
the people to vote tomorrow, to vote
right and honestly, and not to vote un-
less they have an honest right to vote.
Persons who have doubt as to their
right to vote should be careful to have
that doubt removed before they cast
their ballot. There ore two tickets be-
foro tho people from which to make
selection. Against the personal integ-
rity and high character OF any gentle
man named on either of the general
city tickets nothing can be said. The
people are fortunate in that respect at
least: lfthey vote againsta any OF thom
1t will not be on account OF the want
OF high personal character. OF the
ward tickets the same Gun hardly be
said. There are many running for the
City Council that conscientious voters
will hesitate to vote for. II elected
they will reflect no credit upon those
who voted for them nor upon the
wards they are elected to represent.
While saying this much, however,
there is another way OF looking at the
matter and one which should have
great weight with voters when they
come to cast their ballots, and here
honest voters can fad yast room to
make distinction. What good will It
do to elect the Democratic ticket to-
morrow II the men upon IL are to be
controlled and dominated by the worst
elements OF the Democratic party2
Tint this element will control It can
not be doubted from what has trans
plred during the last few weeks. At
the meeting OF the Democratic Asso-
ciatlon that put DR.. Springer and the
others on the general Democratic
ticket Tor nomination, William II. Lee
was the moving spirit that controlled
It.
The same body OF Democrats that
endorsed Dr. Springer for Mayor en-
dorsed the actions of John p. Donahoe.
State Senator from Wilmington, who
had Just succeeded in putting a rider
upon the $500, COO loan bill for the re-
paifA Of streets that would have put
that money into the hands of set OF
boodlers and ringsters. William IL.
Ice offered the endorsing resolutions.
Donahoe and Lee. and Dlcliey aud
Neary, and Pagan and Quinn, AMI Ma
gee and Shea are Running the campaign
60 elect DIR. Springer Mayor The qnes.
tion for honest voters to decide is, can
they vote for DIR. Springer conscien-
tiously, rldered as he Is by tho men we
have naned2 The risk will be a great
one to undertake with the expectation
OF having manly, honest Independent
city government.
That voters who are rcghers of the
REPUBLICAN may have n fair opportu-
nifty OF selecting for themselves the
men they want to vote for, we publish
the candidates in nomination that no
mistake can be made. Here thoy are.

IN ONE sense William II, Lee canno
be blamed for hold ng on to the offlt
OF Secretary of the Board OF Healt
md Registrar Of Deaths and Burials q
long as he possibly can. He is regt
lar Democratic olIlce-holder who make
1t the business of his life to make of
ces to fill them and hold them. Nott
Ing more could be expected OF hil
sha1 to keep his grip. No nice col
ceptions OF propriety and justlc
troubles him. 1t matters nothing I
him whether he is wanted OF not wan
