EARNESTNEss INTENsIFIES.
THE PEOPLE DETERMINED TO
SWEEP OUT THE CITY RING.
They are not Satisfied with the
Autocratic Action of Mayor
Lockwood and the Council
Ignoring Their de-
mands on a Fair
Election.

are warning for ascendency over COM
bination of bosses. Hogg and CaIlaghan,
nears a close, the earneStness of the
| struggle intensifies.
| The boss rule clique is engaged ina
| death struggle and is dying hard, but it
| signed and sealed its own death warrant
when the petition for fair election was
| ANONYMOUSLY ignored.
When Mayor Lockwood on yesterday
| locked himself in with the presiding off
GERS selected by him and denied admission

he intended to have any fair minded
judges serve at the election and refused
to publish who had been selected by him
self and the presiding officers, he rung the
knell of his ticket.
Not only three but five Of the city
councilmen have asked him to call a
special meeting OF the council so that the
and choose impartial election officers to
represent both sides. He is taking his
leisure about answering their demand
which it is his sworn duty to comply with
and by so doing he Is losing votes radidly
for the city ring ticket.
The rats are deserving the sinking ship.
The forces employed by the street COM
told there is no money in the treasury to
pay them and that they wont be paid I'M
Til after election are becoming mutinOuS
and want to know why they were hired
and fired without being paid.
Many of the employees in the various
city departments, who have been taxed
heavily out of their wages for the cam
paign fund will vote against the ticket of
the ring that taxed them. They are not
in accord with the city administration,
whose slogan is: The people, be DID,
any more than the balance of the pOpuace
is.
The popuIace expected when the gentle
man who headed the city ring ticket is
sued his address he would say something
about the causes that had produced the
conditions that prevail in the city's tinan
ceS but he did not say anything except
that he and the other gentlemen on the
ticket with him would do the best they
could under the circumstances.
Everybody knows that, but knows also
that they have been so handicapped by
the city administration that their best
would be a very poor one and that an en-
tirely new administration and policy is
needed to relieve the city from her present
ptiful plight and take her out of bank
ruptcy.
No attempt has been made by the city
ring 10 explain what has become of any
of the missing sacred funds that the
people are demanding to know what has
become of.
From the large garbage furnace fund to
the small appropriation for black
Maria the people want to know. but
they get no answer.
They expected answers when the head
Of the city ticket spoke, as they had been
asked for them by his opponent PaSchaI,
and by the people through the press.
SWEEPS RIGHT ALONG.
While the ShardeinteS are very busy
saying nothing the tidal wave of PaSchal.
Progress and Prosperity is still sweeping
on, and the meetings Of the Possibilities

Last night there was rOuSing rally OF
the Sixth warderS. when all of the Sixth

POLITICAL POINTERS.
William Dunn has retired from the race
as an independent candidate for alder
man of the Sixth ward. He is for Pas
chal.
George Bennacke has retired from the
aldermanic race in the Seventh ward and
gives all his strength to the PaSchal
ticket.
Otto Solms has retired from the race for
auditor as an independent candidate and
throws all OF his strength to the PaSchal
ticket.
There are now no independent cand-
dates and it has narrowed down to a fight
by the people against the city ring.
Governor Hogg has not stated whether
he was going to send the militia over
here to make the people vote the city
ring ticket.
Every one that has commission,
signed by Governor Hogg is expected by
his petulency to vote his: Il am in favor
of Shardein" ticket.
Governor Hogg is expected to address
the people on the imperative necessity for
their voting his: Il am in favor of Shar-I
deln ticket or being pronounced" traitors
not fit to live"
