From the information obtained at Dem
ocratic headquarters. the prospects for car
rying the county for Mcguire and the county
ticket are good. The reports of the polling
of the county precincts have happily sur
prised the union party managers. They show
gains for the union ticket in every precinct
in the county. Precincts which have hither
to gone Republican now show a majority
for the union ticket. In several Republican
precincts gains of from 40 to 100 votes hav,
been made for the union ticket. The in
formation upon which these estimates arr
made has been obtained from comparison
of the results of Investigations and pols
made by several different persons and they
all point the same way. The union ticket
has made such large gains in the country pre-
cincts that the Republican management has
abandoned any hope of carrying
them. Two years ago the country precincts
gave Mckinley some 400 majority over
Bryan The city gave Bryan a majority OF
some 5000, with the result that the county
went Republican by about 500: 1t is now
by the best posted Republicans
union ticket and that the only hope of car
rying the county for Gage is by carrying
the city by at least 1900 majority.
1t is to carry out this scheme that every
effort will be put forward this week by the
Republican management to carry the city
for Gage. They propose to adopt the sys-
TEN Of "blocks of five" and to corral every
vote that can be Seen" The sack will be
here in due time. and with stuffed great
register it will require increasing vigilance
and perfect organization to thwart their
plans.
The candidates upon the Republican
ticket are heart-broken because OF
the gloomy outlook. And it has cropped out
that the poll made by the Republican man.
agement confirms that of the union poll, and
that Jones, .Strine, Caldwell, Bell. Holland
and Smith have given up the fight as lost,
While Hammel, Nichols, Wade, Gish and
Rives have hopes of reviving their lost
cause by the many eXpedients known to
Republican politics. But they will hope in
vain, for the union forces in the city will
make as vigorous and as successful cam
paign as they did two years ago.
Notwithstanding the preposterous claim
made by Republican party leaders, it is q
well known fact that they have the evidence
in their possession that the union ticket
will carry this county. As an illustration OF
their unhappy situation it can be stated
that their poll of the First ward shows
that Mcguire will carry that ward by a
larger majority than was given to Bryar
two years ago and that the union ticket will
not fall behind while some of the local can
didates will run ahead OF both.
The friends of C. L. Ennis should no,
neglect his candidacy. Mr.. Ennis has beer
sick for the last two weeks and has beer
unable to make personal canvass for him
self He has improved but is still confined
to the house and will not be able to appeal
in public until after his election.
Tomorrow Tuesday the union candidate
will have a meeting at the National Sol
diers' home. at which it is expected that al
the candidates will be present. The meet
ing is arranged for p. m, in Memoria
hall Gov. Smith will preside. The gov
ernor has extended every courtesy to tn
union management and to the candidates
and has made special arrangements to max
the meeting successful. After the meetin,
at the home the candidates will go to Santt
Monica, where a meeting will be held a
1880 p. m.
Congressman Barlow will be the principa
speaker at the home:
The meeting at Redondo Saturday night
which was addressed by Hon. J. L. Mul
phey and f. T. Hardin, was one of the bes
