THE CLOSING HOURS
The Union Forces in Battle Array
Confident of Victory

Inc real business OF the campaign will be
done today and tomorrow.
Those IN charge are going over the ma
chinery of both great parties, examining ev-
cry joint, Tightening every bolt and oiling
every bearing, to insure that the great en-
gines will move smoothly on Tuesday.
1t is the preparing of the political battle
ships for their trial trips. One or the other
will break the record, and each crew. those
on the Mcguire flying the union party flag,
those on the Gage, that flies the Southern
Pacific banner, with its dollar mark in the
corner, are leaving nothing undone to have
their craft in the best of trim.
1t is true there is more grease" on board
The Gage than on the Mcguire, but the en-
gineers of the latter say, BE of good cheer;
we have better engine, one that has often
been tried and never found wanting, and
.here are no Herrin, Kelly, Cfmmins,
tainey or Uncle Coils barnacles to both
or us
The amount of work to be done during
the next forty-eight hours is appalling, but
fortunately for the union party its rank
end file are composed mainly of men who
have worked all their lives, AMI little ex-
ira labor to help the man who has always
tried to help them does not seem to bother
hem. It's rather pleasure.
The last grand rallies are to be held on
Monday night and voters who have not
heard the issues of the day discussed should
devote an evening to that purpose.
The outlook on this Sunday morning is
Ill the union parties could wish for in re-
.ard to the success of both their state and
county tickets. From all reports the prom
lsed phenomenal close of the campaign by
the Republicans has collapsed.
FULL INSTRUCTIONS
The Democratic county central commit
tee met yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of enunciating and discussing the plan
Of work to be followed by the union party
representatives at the polls on Tuesday
The fact that the law committees of the
unioll and Republican parties have agreed
upon the law which shall govern the voting
simplifies matters greatly and will prevent
many disputes
The union party workers are well organ
ked and will have placed in their hands
tomorrow night full instructions, with
ropies of the law sustaining them, which
will govern the action of the workers and
officers of election.
FRAUDULENT VOTING
Fraudulent voting will probably be at
tempted in several precincts and complete
arrangements have been made and the
names of the men who will make the at
tempt to commit the fraud are in the hands
Df the challengers of the few precincts in
which these men hope to work. This time
there are no threats to be made as to what
will be done with fraudulent voters after
election. They will be put on their defense
ut once, and unless they can give bail will
certainly not vote at the coming city cleo
tion. No promises of punishment go This
lime. The joint law committee will be in
'esslon throughout election day and the
accessory complaints will be speedily made
and as speedily served.
And the purchasable voter wants to re-
member that the joint law committee is of
I'll parties-Republican Democratic, Peo-
pes and Silver Republican-and that they
lave agreed to aid one another in convict
ng violators of the election laws, regardless
II party and to punish them quickly.
WORKERS NEEDED
The union campaign committee again
1rge that the members of the various par
lies furnish workers, vehicles, etc. as thev
lid in 1896. A thousand workers, all told
re needed, over 500 of whom have been
ecured; but teams are needed in addition
those already secured, and hence the
ampaign committee will be in session at
he Democratic headquarters at the Nadeau
iotel today Sunday to hear from volun-
eers. Tomorrow morning The Herald will
rint portion of the instructions agreed
ipon by all parties as a guide to the voter
Who desires to be honest and as a warning
the voter who does not SO desire. The
