Don lall 10 vote
The safest plan is to vote early.
The only sure plan is to east your
ballot between the hours OF n. m.
and p. m.
Take reasonable amount of time
in marking your ballot. Be sure

To avoid all complications and
Misunderstanding the safest plan is
to mark the cross to the left of the
word democratic and to make as few
other marks on the ballot as is con-
sistent with your preferences
To vote the straight ticket all that
Is necessary * to make a cross in the
circle to the left Of the word denoting
YOUR politics. The safest and best
plan therefore is to make a cross in
the circle At the left of the word dem

If Won desire to scratch your tick
ct. mark the cross in the circle as de-
scribed. and if there are but few
names to be scratched, mark n cross
in the square to the left of the candi-
date for whom you desire to vote.
Another plan in scratching il to omit
the circle at the top and simply make
cross in the square before each can

sue this plan. though. one should be
guarded to omit no candidate whom
he desires to vote for, but put cross
in the square before the name of each
candidate for whom he desires to vote
regardless of politics.

No Truth in 1T

For several days a report has been
in circulation calculated and intend
ed to create dissention in the ranks of
the democratic party to the effect
that Miller had perfected a deal with
Magistrate ii. {. Wivill for n swap of
votes for him for votes for McCono-
chic. While ii is not at all unlikely
that Miller would like to make such
a compact. as it is only on a par with
others attempted by the chief to aid
his political benefactor at the expense
of some one else, Mr.. Wivill, how
ever, desires the positive statement
made that he is a party to no such
deal or agreement; that he is work
ing for the entire democratic ticket
that he desires the success of the
whole ticket--and countenances no
sacrifices of other candid tes in his
behalf. He is ready to stand or fall
with the other candidates.

The Unions Correspondents.

The Union does dearly love to
jump al conclusions. Yesterday
morning it stated that 1.-The ARGUS
has it that Boney johnson wrote n
communication appearing in the
Union on the mavoralty contest
signed .Citizen'r The ARGUS said
nothing of the kind. 1t stated that
Bonev was one of the latest contri bu-
tors to the Union, but it did not men,
ton his non de plume or say whether
his communication had been pub
lished or not. 1t has made no effort
to ascertain the identity of Citizen
nor does it care who he is or any
thing about him. As it said Saturday,
an individual who will attack another
under an anonymous signature does
not amount to much. As far as Boney
johnson is concerned. he submitted a
communication to the Union, but
whether it was fit for use or not, re-
mains to be seen.

After a careful survey today of the
political situation in all its various
phases The ARGUS comes to the con-
clusion that tomorrow's election will
not only be a complete overthrow of
a minority influence that has sought
to retain the McConochie machine at
the head of municipal affairs, but
that it will be a veritable landslide.
Mr.. Medill has proven himself even
a stronger candidate than was at first
anticipated and has conducted an
honorable and manly campaign. such
as viii characterize his management
of municipal affairs after his election.
Let every democrat turn out tomor-
row and make the victory all the

IS. ID. T. Z" Again

IS. ID. E. who seems more anX-
ious about McConochie's election
than any other citizen except Phil
Miller just now, dropped his sigma
ture in the article he wrote for yes
terday mornings Union. There is
very little in his argument, however,
that is worth noticing. although his
insinuations were that the mayor has
stood between the city in the matter
of paving and contractors who have
tried to impose poor work on
the city. There is no one who
knows the falsity of this assertion
any better than Mr.. McConochie
himself. Indeed, had Mr.. Edwards.
about whom he has been ped
ding about these misrepresenta-
tions. not proven himself more of
man than McConochie. he might have
met the charges on the part of the
MAYOR in n manner that would not
have been to the latter's credit. but
Mr.. Edwards is not built that way.
The friends of the two men know the
reason for Mr.. Edwards opposition
to McConochie, and they know equal
lv well of the falsity of any such
charges as appear in the Union. They
know that Mr.. Edwards is opposed
to the mayor because the latter has
proven himself treacherous to Mr..
Edwards in political matters.

AS TO M'CONOCHIE.
Effect of the Exposure of His
Willy Methods.
HIS POLITICAL TRICKEkY SHOWN.

TIE Charges of Dupncity and Treachery
s.ot Successfully Contradicted in a Single
Misunderstanding Hidden In the State
ments Appearing in the Argus and Names
Given.
The attempt of certain of the de-
voices of McConochie to work upon
the sentiments and sympathies of
citizens to win support on the
strength of Mr.. McConochie having
been throughout the campaign n
much abused man.is one of the most
apparent Weaknesses of the slim de-
Tense that has been made of the
McConochie methods and tactics.
That McConochie enjoys in the repu-
tation OF being foxy politician and
rather delights in being known as
..Wilv Mac" is rs well known as the
mayor himself. His success in deal
ing doubly with his political friends
has involved Il long line of betrayals
and receptions, but which have all
come up together to confront and
doom him.
In recounting the various acts of
duality and treachery on McCono-
chie's part, the ARGUS has not left
anything to the last moment when it
it may prove too late for contradic-
ton. 1t commenced its exposure even
before the nominating conventions
were held, gave facts and dates and
- .,.ti
took each charge up under certain
head and not one OF them has been
successfully contradicted as to the
points at issue. although the mayor
has felt called upon to make an eN-
tended explanation. The Union after
the publication of the mayors letter
gave evidence to the weakness of the
McConochie explanatory letter 10y
publishing what purported to be
statements from Supt. Of Water
works Murrin and j. y. Hun
toon calculated to uphold the
mayors position. but both of which
gentlemen subsequently denied in
detail the assertions attributed to
them by the Union. As said before.
the ARGUS has not reserved any of its
charges until the last possible mo-
ment. 1t has given the names of all
those affected by the mayors duplic-
ity, in relation to his manipulation OF
caucus and convention. and his mu-
nicipal appointments rs affecting the
superintendent of waterworks, super
iutendent of streets and the health
commissionership. and in each case
has mentioned specifically the names
of the victims and not one OF which
has to date contradicted the allega-
tions stated. What miSconstrued
statement the Intermediates may
have reserved for the last moment
after having days and weeks to make
it. but which may he withheld for the
last issue of the McConochie organ. of
course none not in confidence of
Boss Collins can fully say.

Prepared to stand nv Charges

For its own part the ARGUS can
say that to the best of its knowledge
and belief it has exposed nothing
concerning McConochie's political
treachery and trickerv that was not
fully Investigated and which cannot
be fully substantiated. 1t believes as
firmly as it believes anything that
every charge preferred against Nc
Conochie rs to his dual methods is
true and that only facts have been
started. We don't believe that any
stronger argument could be pre-
scented in support of the charges OF
double dealing on McConochie's part
than that of all the leading repre-
sentativcs and influential republicans
who supported him four years ago.
and two years ago. only one in the
person OF Phil Miller stands by his
side TODAY. while Steve Collins and
Boney johnson have been engrafted
into the service to make up for va
cancies. This is the trio that has
charge of the McConochie interests
today. Those on the other hand who
turned their backs in disgust upon
him are known for their work and
efforts for McConochie and the re-
publican party in times past. And
none of them will hesitate to give
his reasons freely for his stand in OPP
posing the man whose methods have
become intOlerable.

Mexico for the Mormous.

People whose sources of informa-
ton ought to be tolerably pure say
that the Mormons who still insist
on the righteousness of polygamy
will speedily find home in Mexico,
leaving Utah and Southern Idaho
in the possession of those saints
who can manage to exist with only
one wife. Mexico has practically
presented to a Mormon elder a
large tract of land in the state of
chihuahua conditionally on his
establishing thereon a colony of
three thousand persons. Industries
and their products are not to be
taxed in any way for ten years, nor
is there to be either local or state
interference with any conduct in
the community resulting from
what the Mormons may term their
religion. If this means that polyg-
amy is to be practiced by the
migratory offshoot, then Mexico
can afford to pay less attention to
the rioters on the Rio Grande and
more to the importations from
Utah.-Ex.

The Lady in the Noon.

It is left to our four hundredth
centennial to celebrate q charming
discovery, says the Boston Journal.
It seems not to be generally known
that the regal "man in the moen,"
who for ages or cons has been looked
up to as the sole ruler of his planet,
shares his throne and divides his
honors with the loveliest semblance
of woman. Would you see her at
her best let it be on cloudless night
as near the full of the moon as DOS
sible. Use a good opera or field
glass. Be patient; some fail to find
her at first. The face is in profile,
and looks toward your left as you
gaze, occupying half the surface of
the moon; the hair dark and coiled
rather high; her throat and neck are
radiantly beautiful. Beyond her
profile is seen the dark face of a
man looking straight forward.

a GHOST STORY.

do you believe in ghosts?"
mo, never did; but II tell you
a strange story"
There was a cellar in my fathers
house, and one day as I was at
work in the room above, II. went
below with a basket to get some
potatoes.
A boy about ten years of age
followed him, and sat on an empty
box while the other picked up the
potatoes. Grumblings and ejecula-
tons, more and more pronounced,
greeted my ears, and I gathered
that he was being annoyed by
spirit, for his remarks were not ad-
dressed to the boy; yet there was
no element of fear in his voice, but
rather of resolute antagonism.
Finally, on hearing a savage
Get out of the wayl" I dropped
my work impatiently, and exclaim-
ing "What on earth is the matter
with your" I started to see for my
self.
Well, the stairway was not fin
ished. For instance, you under
stand, the floor joists were not
mortised into the beams, but rested
on top of them, and they were end
on to the side of the stairway, leav-
ing a space of four inches between
the floor and the beam that crossed
there, and this space was open.
AS my shoulders came nearly
down to a level with the floor, in
my descent, a large coarse, but al
most invisible hand was thrust out
before me from this space on my
left, and grasped my right hand.
Of course tried to withdraw it,
but the grip frightened with reso-
lutte severity, and my efforts to
draw off, dragged the invisible
form of the hands owner after it,
and as this form emerged from the
space it swung round upon my
back and gripped me powerless
with it's crab-like arms and legs,
uttering fiendish sounds of triumph
at having got me in its power. Me,
who never believed in spirits and
had an utter contempt for the
whole subject, in the grip of an
invisible but powerful bodyl Hor-
ror
