The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-02-21

From the present outlook ! am con-
fident the entire Republican city ticket
will be elected by pluralities ranging
from GOO to 1000" said w. S. Millar,
chairman of the Republican city ex-
ecutive committee, last night. The fin
ishing touches had been put on the last
odds and ends of the work of the cam
pagn, reports had been received from
all sections of the city and Mr. Millar
was in q position to speak with author
ity. His confidence in the result of to-
days battle was founded on the most
trustworthy information that could be
obtained
This CITY is now normally Republic
can" Mr.. Millar continued, "and our
candidates are clean. honest and able.
Men against whose integrity not a word
can be said They will give Scranton
a splendid administration of public af-
fairs that will justify the confidence
the voters reposed in them. These cam
didates have waged an earnest, honor
able campaign and their work has been
effective. I am q believer in the su-
premacy of the Republican party, be-
lever in the principle that Republicans
should stand by their party at every
election. It's the only way to make
the party strong, vigorous and triumph
ant. If there is one thing more than
another / would like to impress upon
every Republican it is to vote tomor-
row and vote right. If they do this,
there can be no question about the re-
suit"

If Chairman Millar is confident, so is

/ Mr.. Schadt put it.
Are you prepared to give any fig
ures?" queried the reporter
! II haven't done any figuring replied
the portly ice man but you can tell
| the readers of The Tribune that the
pluralities for the whole ticket will be
so large tina. contests will be entirely
unnecessary. That ought t0 be good
news for the people Of Scranton, don
! You think?"
Confidence, it will be observed, Is one
of the strong features of this cam
paign
That tOday's conflict is viewed with
no ordinary interest was shown by the
general discussion of the fight in all
parts of the city yesterday. Wherever
men gathered there was sure to be dis
cussion concerning the prospects of the
rival candidates whose claims will be
passed upon by the voters today.
At Republicans headquarters there
was "A large number of callers during
