C. Il. Huber, the Democratic nominee fol
councilman in the Fourth ward, is working
hard and says he will be elected. He also
said last night that the Silver Republicans
who two years ago supported MIR. Silver,
believing that he would vote independently,
are now rallying to his support in the most
enthusiastic manner.
The Democratic and Republican commit
tees have agreed that the polls open at6:4e
on the morning of the 5th day Of December.
The laws requires that the polls open at sun
rise, and the committees having consulted
their various legal advisers have arrived at
the unanimous conclusion that sunrise is
6:48 on that date.
Betting in the Second ward on the coun-
Gil fight is against Baker. De Garmo is
making a good fight.
Gossip at the Democratic headquarters is
that Robert A. Todd's majority willbe over
500 in the Eighth. Robert Todd is the genial
secretary of his honor, Mayor Snyder, and
has host of friends all over the city.
Henry T. Gage, governor-elect, has gone
north to be present at the launching Of the
new battleship Wisconsin, which will slip
from the ways into the bay Of San Francisco
Saturday.

was supposed to be $500 to be bet on the
proposition that Eaton would carry the city
by $50 majority When Democrat ap-
reared to cover the bet the money was not
forthcoming
Mayor Snyder and c. C. Wright spent yes

Seventh regiment drill and enjoying the

permitted to leak out. Reporters were
barred as were candidates for city offices
and politicians. Those who were present
do not hesitate to declare that the object
of the session was purely business of po-
Etical nature
L. C. Tyler, Democratic nominee for
council in the Third ward, says that he has
more than an even chance to win. Mr.. Ty-
Ter bases his opinion on the fact that two
years ago the ward was lost by only 88 votes.
Two years ago the Democratic nominee was
not taxpayer and the Republican being
en- the tax list won out. This year the con-
ditions are reversed and the ward being
largely made up of taxpayers the Democrats
expect to carry it.
