pledges made by him two years ago. He
was known to be the man that had made
the fight for cheaper water for the city and
! had won it. The other man was an I'M
known quantity and it was not policy to
| try such an one at this critical time.
! For city attorney there was only one
man and that was c. C. Wright. But it
would require that every Democrat get out
to the polls with his friends and vote Elec

Every man, woman and child had an inter
est in the water question, money interest,
and that was why the voters were going
to support the Democratic ticket.
Councilman Grider followed with few
remarks endorsing the whole ticket
Frank Finlayson made rousing address.
He said that the Democrats had no apollo
gy to offer for their ticket. 1t was clean,
able and composed OF competent men. As
regards Mayor Snyder, no one could hon

stood for the peoples interest. He had
been right ON the water question and his
attitude had forced the Republican party
to take up the fight for municipal owSer-

ership Of public utilities, but had been
forced to take up the question of public
ownership of the water system by the ac-
ton of the Democratic party. Could such
a late convert be trusted? (Cries OF No! No!)
II was useless to make any comparisons on
city attorney. There could be none made
derogatory to their man. Last night s
Express said that Mr.. Haas had practiced
law for the past ten years, but that state
ment was false. In looking over the great
register of 1896 he had found Walter Haas
age as 26 years; that would make him now
2S years of age. If he had practisad law
ten years he would have had to be at least
81 years Of age, because man could not
be permitted to practice until he was of age.
c.. C. Wright is lawyer tried and trust
worthy, and one in whom every one had
confidence.
For city engineer there was no man in tie
city the equal of Henry Dockweiler as Re
CARDS knowledge of what the city had and
what it needed in the future. He was a
man pre-eminent in his profession and one
who had made an honest valuation for the
city in regard to the city water plant. He
was not loved by the water company, for
he did not mince matters where they were
concerned. Charley Roster was the man
for superintendent of streets. (Cheers) .
The people wanted man, who, when his
term of office expired, would not have to
spend his time defending his administration
of affairs. Mr.. Drain has been compelled
to defend himself from the opening of the
campaign, and is trying to defend his posi-

question of police interference. He said

POLITICAL NOTES
*<%%%%%<<+<<<<<<<<<<-

With the close of the city campaign
which occurred last night, the forces have
"stopped training, and will now rest and
recuperate for the battle" on Monday
While each side processes confidence, 1t Is
not hard to see that the trend OF pubic sen
tment is for Snyder and the Democratic
ticket. This is evidenced by the general
feeling among politicians OF all classes as
we'll as indicated by the betting, which took
decided slump, so far as the Republlcan
candidates are concerned. Even money is
now asked by the Eaton men and odds are
demanded in some cases. Altogether
PROSPECTS for the success of the Democratic
ticket tomorrow could hardly be brighter.
Every effort will be made to poll full
vote and insure the citizens of this city an
honest, competent and capable set of Off
cials for the next two years.
Only two meetings were held last night,
one in the Eighth ward at First and Los
Angeles, the other in the Seventh at Third
street and Stevenson avenue. The Sew,
enth ward meeting, owing to the fact that
nearly every one was down town, was not
as we'll attended as usual. The meeting at
First and Los Angeles was a large and en-
thusiastic one. 1t was marred by contin-
gent of the Socialists who held forth on the
corner opposite the Democratic wagon.
Finally the Democratic wagon was moved
to the southwest corner of the street and
most of the crowd followed. Every speak
er was followed with the greatest interest
and the meeting was interspersed with
cheers for the various candidates.
Refugo Bilderan acted as chairman and
introduced the speakers. Earl Rogers was
first on the program. He said that the
Democratic party had put up the best ticket
on the best platform that was ever present
ed to the people of this city. They had
put up men eminently qualified for the po-
sitions they aspired to and they would be a
credit TO the city.
Commencing with the mayor, he was
proud to say that Mr.. Snyder was a man
who stood by the people and kept the

was looking for Charlie Toll to offer him his
sympathy for the hard fight he has been COM
PEELED to make to keep his ward in line, but
Toll couldn't be found. He had probably
discovered some fences on the boundary line
between the Fourth and Fifth down. These
were probably knocked down by the Huber
Silver contest, which has got so warm as to
be interesting.
Last night at Musicians hall there was a
meeting of the Cooks and Walters alliance
Charles Horner spoke for one hour and half
and at the close of his speech the whole
Democratic ticket was endorsed. Bob Todd
was the only candidate present
A meeting was held by the Republicans in
Music ball, at which about half the seats
were occupied. F. X. Rule, chairman of
the city central committee, called the meet.
ing to order, and introduced w. j. Hun
saker as chairman.
Fred Eaton told of the public schools he
would build ''all by his lonesome" if made
mayor, touched on the water question, and
extolled the Republican city platform. He
was followed by Attorney Haas, Ben L
Ward, Lafayette Martindale and F. Fl. Ohm
sted, who each put forth his own special
plea for election. The meeting broke up
early to allow the candidates to participate
in reception given at the Jonathan club.

Over thousand people found their way

the gridiron against the palefaces OF the

The spectators were very enthusiastic and
showed their appreciation of the good plays
by hearty roofing. A majority OF the crowd
sympathized with the Indians and did not
hesitate to let them know that fact. About
fifty boys from the high school organized
themselves into a roofing squad and gave

and kept there without warrant and with
out being allowed to have an attorney. This
country has gone past that stage when a
mans rights are not considered, and the
Democratic party, being party OF the peo'
pie, has taken up its stand for this
proposition. They are right, and should
be supported at the polls.
c. c. Wright spoke for few minutes on
the general subjects treated in the Demo
cratic platform, closing with the water ques-
tion.
City Engineer Dockweiler spoke for some
time on the water question.
Joy Winans, candidate for city treasurer,
was the last speaker.
At Third and Stevenson only small au-
dience was present, and the candidates only
spoke for short time, going up to the
Eighth ward meeting to entertain the crowd
there.
The Times, rumor that Glascock is
knitting Snyder in the Ninth ward is utterly
without foundation. In yesterdays issue
Just such action was foretold, and it has come
to pass.
Some kind friend of Bob Todd's in the
Eighth got his opponent to write letter.
Nothing more need be said on that score,
as the letter has had just the opposite effect
from that intended. 1t has made Todd
votes galore, and he is more than ever on
Easy street. Reference was made to an ar
ticle that appeared in The Herald under the
date of July l3, 1898, which stated that on
Mr. Todd's return from his honeymoon he
would live on West Eighteenth street. That
was mistake made by the person sending
in the article. 1t is needless to say that Mr..
Todd's home is in the Eighth, where he has
always lived. He is proud of his friends,
and, like the mar he is,,proposes to live with
them and stand by them. There is only
one ward for Bob, and that is ''de ate.' The
old saying, would that mine enemy would
write letter. is only too true. The letter
has been written, and it is needless for MIR.

apologies.
