all classes in the coming city elect
ion.
The registration is phenomenally
large and shows that almost every
citizen qualified to vote is determi-
ned to exercise the privilege. Daily
and even nightly the Plaza Principal
and some of the adjoining streets are
thronged with those interested in the
result.
Speeches are made which attract
large crowds and at times great ex-
citement prevails. It is not our
purpose to attempt to predict the
result of the election, but the candi-
dates named by both the leading par
ties are well known, substantial
men, and whatever the result, we
feel sure of an intelligent admins
