ago of being elected Mayor. Still
we may be mistaken this year.
BETTING does not help the chances
Of a candidate. We remember dis
tinctly that thousand dollar GER
tilted check was circulated around
at the last election for county OIL
GERS. The money was raised by
several we'll known Democrats, who
were willing and anxious to bet it:
They wanted to bet that good
Democratic money that CORTLAND
c. Montgomery would be elected
Recorder of Deeds. The Republic
cans failed to cover the money,
which was most fortunate occur
renee for the men who had placed
their money in the pool. The cleo
ton was held and the result was
the election of Delaware Clark.
Still there are numerous quiet bets
being made on the result OF the
election to be held on Saturday next.
As Senator Plat of New York
and Mark Hanna Of Ohio, have both
signified their intention to favor the
nomination of Mr.. Mckinley for re-
election as President next year,
there will be little opposition to his
nomination at the Republican Ma

Cleveland in 1892, great mistake
was made and the voters will not

This foolish paragraph simply
shows what an ass tine Sunday

THE Every Evening has at last
come out for part Of the Demo
cratic ticket. In its last night
issue. it advocated the election Of
Robert G. Hartman for City Solicitor
but never said word about the
rest of the ticket. The Every
Evening lays claim to being a neu
trail paper, although it supported
the owner of the paper as the
Democratic candidate for Congress
Its silencein this campaigns some
thing strange for that journal.
Four days more and then thu
voters will have decided who shal
fill the several positions in our city
government. The Democrats are
very sanguine and expect to cleo
their whole ticket. But sometime:
