BATTLE coming TO A Close
This Week the Final Struggle for Su-
premacy Will Take Place.
BRIGHT REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK
All the Indications Point to Decisive Re-
publican vietory-Meetings That Have
:Been Arranged for the Balance
of the Campaign.


week of the campaign. Candidates
will be hurrying to and fro strengthen
ing their fences and encouraging waVer-
ing lieutenants, while an army of ora
tors will invade all parts of the county
to enlighten the dear people about what
the different political parties are willing
to do for them.
The events of the last week serve to
strengthen the belief that the victory of
the Republican party will be clear and
decisive.
That the Democrats have become
thoroughly desperate is evidenced by
the efforts being made to deceive the
people. The Times continues to stick
to its "$1 day" story about f. H. Glenn
ons, but makes no effort to substantiate
it, although Mr. Clemons and City
Clerk Lavelle have positively stated
that no such remark was ever made by
Mr.. Clemons at q council meeting. The
Times is evidently firm believer in
the policy of lying and sticking to the
lie.
Me Too Burke.
Michael Turnover Burke, the Demo-
cratic candidate for legislature in the
Fourth district, is another who believes
in sticking to what he says, even at the
risk of convicting himself of being
monumental falsifier. Mr.. Burkes ef-
frontery in persisting that he voted for
the Farr free text book bill against the
mountains of evidence to the contrary,
is one of the highly amusing, if not
edifying, features of the campaign, ana
a few years ago Mr.. Burke was a school
teacher and had the moulding of young
minds intrusted to his care.
The visit of General Hastings ana
party, followed by Congressman Bro
sius and ex-Lieutenant Governor Da-
vies, to the county during the last week
aroused great enthusiasm for the Re
publican candidates and redoubled IN
terest that members of the party take
in the campaign This week the work
of spreading the light will continue ana
meetings will be held every night.

Singerly's Visit to the City.
1t is the intention of the Democratic
leaders to use every effort to give Cam
didate Singerly big reception when
he visits this city this week. There
will be a parade of clubs of the county,
red fire and all that sort of thing, fol-
lowed by oratory at the armory on the
beauties Of free trade. 1t is hoped that
a grand whoop of this kind will
strengthen the wavering lines and
keep the party in something like COM
pact mass on election day.
The candidates doubt the efficacy of
the remedy and each is out working for
himself individually. All thought of
standing together was abandoned some
time ago, and each Democratic nomi-
nee Is now pursuing a tireless still
hunt for votes.
The Prohibitionists havealso reserved
their heavy cannonading for this Week.
They VIII have Joseph Cook to deliver
an address at the Frothingham and
Charles l.. Hawley, candidate for gov
ernor, will deliver number of speeches
through the Lackawanna and Wyom-
Ing valleys.
The Peoples party will also wage an
earnest battle for votes in which ora
tory will cut quite figure.
