The following address has been issued

to the voters of the Eighth ward:
Eighth ward voters. be not deceived.
'GrimeS should not be, Miner cannot
be. Smith can be, elected alderman.
Let no intelligent Eighth ward voter
be deceived by Grimes men on the one
hand, or by Miner men on the other.
The contest for alderman is between
Melvin Grimes and HoratiO S. Smith.
However worthy Mr.. Miner may or may
not be, it is impossible to elect him, and
any attempt to stampede the Demo-
cratic vote to him will prove abortive.
The so-called Straight-out Republic
loudly as they did. Indeed, so weak
knetd have they become that word was
passed along the line of the Eighth
ward torch-bearers Saturday evening
not to shout for Grimes or Miner least
1t make trouble, and encourage
the Democrats" Grimes is no
longer afraid of Miner, and is
training his guns on Smith.
On the other hand, Miners managers,
while talking loudly and making con-
siderable noise, have perceptibly weak
ened, and for several days past have
been making Overtures to Democrats,
the result Of their labored efforts being
an appeal to desert Smith and vote
for Miner. By hard work they Sc
cured six signatures, the first
dell, who has never even claimed
to be Democrat. Two of the others,
having failed to succeed when Demo
cratic candidates for aldermen, natur-
ally think Democrat cannot be elected,
and with two more have been Miner
men from the start. The only other
signer is Chris A. Gallagher, who signed
| the appeal without looking over the
| situation and will vote for Smith. So
much for this eleventh hour appeal.
us it not evident that neither the
! Grimes men nor the Miner men would
| be so anxious to make deals with the
Democrats and offer to sell out other
Republican candidates in exchange I'M
less they are anxious? This offer has
| been freely made by both factions, and
| Smith. Is it not also evident that the
offers are not made III good faith; that
| under the Australian system they can
not and do not expect to deliver the
goods, but simply to hoodwink we'll
meaning and too-confiding Democrats.
"Irickery will not win. The preim-
mary canvass of both parties showed a
much larger Democratic vote than ever
before, or nearly 1000, and a special
canvass made last week in the interest
of Mr.. Grimes showed hundreds OF Re-
publicans friendly to Smith.
1--WE urge every Democrat to do his
whole duty in this matter. Vote for
Smith, and ask your neighbor to do So.
We ask every friend OF good govern
ment, every lover of common decency.
every man who wants to bring about the
defeat of Grimes, to aid US in the work.
So, Ky your ticket as to relieve the
Eighth ward of an aldermanic cross that
is hard to bear. In any event, let no
one be deceived. Horatio S. Smith is
in the field to win, and the choice lies
between Melvin Grimes and Horatio
S. Smith. Vote for Smith.
