was nearer noon The result is matter
OF doubt, The Democratic leaders seem
confident Of carrying everything but the
assessor and collector OF the northern
district, and three or four councilmen,
while the Republican managers boldly
assert that they will elect their mayor,
president Of Council, city treasurer and
enough members Of City Councll TO give
them majority.
The fact OF the matter Is that none OF
them know anything positive about IT,
The rank and file Of either party has
manifested but little interest In the out
come The ward workers are using
extraordinary efforts to dispel this
apathy and to get the the voters out, and
upon the success Of their endeavors
depends the result The general belief
is that the vote will be light. As 3
consequence there is little TO base a
calculation on.
That the Republican managers are
frightened Is show by the desperately
hard work they have been doing during
the past week. Their runners have been
