OUTLOOK GOOD.

The outlook for Democratic victory In
this city grows better day by day. The
coast is so clear, the party so unanimous
In its proposed choice, so free from any
dissensiop, that 1t today stands In better
condition than it has for years past and
Oh the very hem o; the garment OF success.
The good prospect in this dire ction is
due to the work Of the pres snt CITY Com
mittee-a committee that Is entA usiastic
in Its unanimity for Democratic spcc "a
and the party is fortunate in having a
committee OF this character to manage
the technical work that Is always to be
done.
The people should have conddtnoe in
1t, for everything 1t has thus iar done has
been done in the interes. OF the party.
There are those who will always complain
but the party as a whole s. satisfied.
The party must be kept al its presen nj
standard. 1t must be kept united an6
every man we'll up to the mark. Thil
will insure victory and victory must come
to our banner next month. With the
party as 1t is, and recruits coming to US
every day, there can be DO question as to
the result.
