a special effort to prevent any unfavorable
! results on account of his illness manifesting
themselves on election day.

DIR. 0. d. Fitz-Gerald, union nominee for
coroner, has learned that some illdisposed
persons are trying to compass his defeat by
advertising as a fact the falsehood that he
was defeated as a candidate for coroner two
years ago. To checkmate their moves, he
has come out in a card to the public, in
which he states that he was never before
candidate for any Office in this state. He is
confident OF election and has assurances
which justify his most sangune expecta-
tions.
HOURS FOR VOTING
1t has been pointed out that the sun rises
tomorrow at exactly 6:34 o'clock a. M, at
which hour the polls will open in this coun-
ty. Under the provisions of the law, the
polls will remain open until 5 p. IN. The
early voters will avoid the crush and, pos
sibly, the loss of their votes altogether, for
sometimes latecomers find their places so
far down the line that they are barred out
from the ballot box. The safe plan is to be
on hand early and make sure Of vote.

enunciatlon OF the election returns Tuesday
night at the wigwam to the union forces. AS
fast as received they will be sent by special
messenger and by telegraph and telephone

ly from all over the state.
AT THE POINT OF DEATH
The aged father of t. j. Cooper, union
candidate for county clerk, is lying at the
point of death at his home on Alta street
East Los Angeles, being taken seriously i'll
yesterday. This unfortunate occurrence
necessarily takes Cooper to q great extent
from the field of battle, but his friends will
see I'd it that he loses no votes by not being
personally able to superintend his forces on
the final day.
