PICK OUT THE WINNERS.
To-morrow's Races for Polit-
ical Honors.
DONAHOE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

Clalms city Council-On the Lookout
for Fraud.
The biennial municipal election will be
held tomorrow and the leaders on both
sides are using their utmost endeavors
to awaken their constituents from their
political lethargy. There has not been
city election held for years in which so
little interest was manifested by the rank
and file of the two leading parties.
There is an element Of doubt in every
thing connected with the contest The
fact that the vote will be light and the
registration books of last fall heavy
leaves the leaders with no safe basis for
calculating the result Both sides are
hoping to grasp victory from the hands
of political apathy. but neither is loud
in its expressions Of hope.
Clerk Frank A. McCloskey Of the
Election Department is busily engaged
| to-day preparing the books, instrnc-
tions and stamps for delivery to the
election officers.
The polls will open between II and 12
o'clock to morrow morning, and close at
z o'clock In the evening. The inspectors

ment will sit TO receive the returns.
