coNFIDENCB WINS SUCCESS.

The Regulars are trying all sorts OF
schemes to defeat William b. Clerk the
Union candidate. Some of the leaders Of
the so-called Regular wing are endeavor-
ing to deal with the Unlonists in the way
of trading Bush for Stats and are even
going so far as to give two for one. This
won't do, and there IS no danger OF any
trading or dealing by the Unionists,, for
they have had one bite out of that cherry
OF the so-called Regulars Republican
party. The election of William b. Clerk
is such an assured thing that the
Regulars are working two forces. one at
night and the other day, but are meeting
with no success.
The friends of William B. Clerk are
greatly encouraged at the numerous
Democrats and Regular Republicans who
have called on him and signihed their in
tentions OF voting for him for mayor.
Mr.. Clerk realizes that he has the fight
Of his life on his hands, but nevertheless
he is confident OF winning, which there is
no doubt, for the masses and not the
classes are with him.
