These are the tickets that viii be voted
ia tomorrow election. Tomorrow night
II will he known whether John J. Nc
Donough or Herman Myers viii succeed
Mayor Meldrim as the head of the citys
affairs. To-day Will be a day of active
political work in preparation for the bat
tie of the ballots. No precaution is be-
ing neglected by either side which may
inure 20 success. The two sides are evil
IDENTIFY well matched. Each has able po-
litical leaders. a number of enthusiasts
supporters and fun complement of po-
litical workers. some who labor for love
and others for cash.
The supporters of each candidate are
apparently as confident as when the can
didates first entered the field Each is sure
of success, and neither will be convinced
of the contrary until the ballots are count
cd and The managers announce the result.
One thing generally conceded Is that al
dermanic tickets viii be freely scratched,
and that the next board of aldermen is
likely TO consist of members from both
tickets.
The supporters Of Mr.. Myers will have
a final rally at the Masonic Han tonight.
1t Is not unlikely that the HAN viii be
packed to its fullest capacity. As it VIII
be the last opportunity OF the campaign
for reaching the voters, the leaders pro.
pose to make the most of it, The indi-
cations are that the meeting will be de-
cidedly interesting, The programme is
fun Of interest to both sides. Hon
f. G. duBignon will reply to Mayor Mel
drim's defense Of his administration at
the recent Liberal Club meeting. Solicitor
General w. w. Osborne will reply to Mr..
w. C. Harridges severe criticism al the
same meeting. Judge Twiggs will also
reply to criticisms of his address at the
previous Myers meeting. Mr.. Herman
Myers will have something to say about
the financial affairs of the city. and Mr.
J. P. Williams and other members of the
aldermanic ticket will also have something
TO say. The colored clubs in The Myers in
terest will assemble at their halls and
march TO the Masonic Temple to catch the
drippings of political rhetoric
From now until tomorrow night the
contest viii wax hot. So far there have
been no exhibitions of m-feeling between
the two candidates and nothing has occur
red to make moderate-minded people re-
great that elections are a necessity under
a republican form of government. II is
10 be hoped that the warmth of feeling will
not reach The point where the services of
the police villa be needed.
Ihe McDonough workers will not hold
another general meeting before the cleo
ton. In all the districts there will be
cluD meetings tonight but it is the an
parent intention not TO adopt any course
which will have the effect of scattering

over. the next thing on the boards being
