They endeavor to influence voters
by telling them that Scranton has no
need OF parks or more bridges, that

THEY ARE NOT PUBLIC SPIRITED.
Such men lack public spirit and are
the deadly foes Of progress of any kind.
Had men of such dwarfed mental
calibre been in charge of the dessinieS
Of Scranton for years past, she would
not he today the queen city of the an
thracite coal regions, but an obscure
mining hamlet.
1t is to be hoped that no attention
will be paid to these fossili2,d croak-
erS by any voter who claims particle
OF public spirit. and that tomorrow's
vote will show that the people Of
Scranton have taken another step for
ward that will rebound to their ever.
lasting credit.
In many of the wards the contests
for council and school controller have
become very exciting. Strange to say,
the most bitter and vindictivs fights
are in the wards where Democrats are
opposing each other
Patrick Golden is making q desoer

Gilman IN the Sixth ward and has
offered to bet $500 that he will be sue
cessful. The friends Of NJ. Z. Clarl
say he is only whistling to keep his
courage up and that this tins he will
meet his Waterloo. John b. Regar
and Michael Ruane, both Democrats,
are having lively fight for common

In the Twelfth ward the Democrats

by Thomas ConnoT, an Independen
Democrat.
1t will thus be seen that in their foui

tion results, animosties will have beei
engendered and wounds made that i
will be impossible to heal. Thus will
the party be still further weakened
