Although a pretension is made by the
opposition that it is going to carry
everything in this county this fall, the
gloomy looks at heao quarters do not
carry out the assertion.
The remnant of the grand old party
in this section of the state is gone
IT will not elect single man on the
ticket
Reports received at headquarters Of
the Democratic party from the outside
precincts are to the effect that gains
are being made every day. The can
didates for county commissioners on
the Republican ticket are defeated ere
the voting takes place. Large, audi
enceS greet Democratic speakers every
night, and many old Republicans turn
out to hear them. References to the
official conduct of the two present in
cumbents who are seeking to be re-
elected are greeted with applause and
especially by those who assisted TO
place them in office.
The taxpayers have been doing some
figuring and have arrived at the con-
clusion that too much money is being
expended among pet officials and that
Il is time to call halt. Conservative
men like Frank Armstrong, j. S. Raw
Inns and L. Z. Hall are wanted, and

being sought to be made by the advo-
Gates of Geddes in this, that he has
been good to the poor. Of course he

stated here and there that he has
travelled miles to aid the distressed:
so he has and charged for it too. There
Is nothing done by him in this matter
that his predecessors have not done.
Herman Bamberger gave plenty to the
poor and didn't make half The fuss
about it.
Lewis is gaining over Condie fast
The latter has made, and is making. a
gallant fight by singing songs, but he
is not doing anything for himself
among people who do not Know him.
He stands as we'll among his acquaint-
ances as he did TIE day he was noTni-
mated. but outside of that he is making
little progress. That circular which he
has been sending out, in which it is ad-
mitued that his acquaintance is linn
tied to a select few in the Second ward
has done him no good and it is stated
that as fast as the same can be re
covered. they are being called in and
new ones issued, the latter simply stat
ing that all who receive it should vote
for him. Ne qualifications are enlarged
upon in the new. There are no edi-
torial extracts from the party organ
therein contained.
Condie has a manager in the person
of Mr. Reiser, at least Reiser appears
to be entitled to the appeliation by
reason of the efforts he is making for
the candidate. 1t is said that Reiser
is the man who is responsible for the
first batch of circulars which appeared.
Be that as it may, It proved the >oppo-
site of what was intended.
Bingham viii be soliG for Lewis. So

while in the city the latter will gain
hundreds of votes. All the business
element in town will cast their votes
in his behalf They know the mans
ability nd viii bank upon it and not

w. w. Taylor, the colored candidate
for The lower house of the Gold and In
dependent Republican tickets, made
run yesterday at Democratic hea6quar-
ters. He came in there and began ex-
aiming a ballot which was pasted on
Gne wall and when he reached mis- own
name he found some one had marked
it gold" This angered the youth and
he decided to tear the ballot down.
but he didn't. He changed his mind
when Gulbransen made an objection.
Gufbransen told him he must not tear
anything down which was pasted up
Sahere, but Taylor didn't propose to
have things that way.
He changed his mind when Blakeley,
Hart, Chairman Lloyd and several
Others weighing on an average of 200
apiece hove in sight and told him TO
get cut or they would throw him out
Then it was that Taylor's wrath rose
in chunks.
''Yo'li throw me out" he shrieked.
''No, sir, yo1l not throw me out, sir.
I'll go out. but YOU not throw me out.
No, sir. I'm a respectable person, sir,
and I'll not be thrown out, sir No,
sir. No. sir. Show me the man who's
going to throw me out. Show him to
me, but all the time he was moving
toward the door. When he got out he
cried: Come outside and throw me
out. III come in there when L want
to-.
You get outside, and keep out"
said Blakeiy, and don't you come in
mere any more. If you do, you will
be arrested"
What, Me arrested? Show me the
man who's going to have me arrested.
Show MIN to me. sir. Show him to me-
l give you to understand I'll come in
when / feel like it. Yes, sir. Show
me- but passing breeze caught
him and he went away.
