As the city election approaches the pros
pecss GROW more favorable for the election
Of the Democratic Council ticket.
There is ha- dly any doubt that when the
next Council meets the Democrats
will have a majority in joint session Of
tbe two Branches. Wen posted Repubh-
cans admit that the Democrats have a
GOOD show TO change the city administra-
ton and the Democratic candidates were
never more confident Of the result Every
co-5itiou and arrangement is in their IA
vor. They have not only frst-ciass
ticket TO secure the endorsement OF the
voters but the uuSavory record Oh the
Republican Council during the past two
wears has been enough 10 bury any party

travagance. partisanship and incompe-
tency.

OF party membership.
The Republican politicians, fun OF con-
fdeuce from the overwhelming municipal
victory two years ago. failed 10 notice the
change in popular sentiment and their prl-
nnaries was a big scramble for places on
the ticket. The Democrats however
