A General Wave of Public Opinion Turn
Ing In Favor of tho Whole Democratic
Municipal Ticket.
The political feature of last week is the
pronounced favor with which the whole
Democratic municipal ticket is being re-
ceiYed all over the city. Friendly COM

unequiyocal animadversion over the gross
mismanagement of their party organiza'
tions and clubs by the bosses. The con-
servative, business-like personnel of the
Democratic ticket pleases everyone. The
open expression is that the head of the
ticket is sure To win and the great proba.
bility is that the remaining names will
come in winners with it. Republicans
openly concede that the personal popu-
larity of Joe" Adams is the only possible
obstruction to Democratic clean sweep
next Saturday. Among the Democrats
