If the voters desire clean streets, ade-
quate police protection and good city
government, lei them vote the ticket
nominated by the Republicans and
headed by Maj. r. j. Palsn.
IF it Is desired by the voters that this
city should enjoy during the coming
year good public schools and an honest
administration of city finances, then let
them vote the Republican city ticket on
tomorrow.
Canuto Alarid has been substituted
for A. P. Hogle as a candidate for men,
ber of the board of education on the
Democratic Citizens ticket in the third
ward. Mr.. Hogle declares himself not
a candidate for reelection.
The proof of the pudding is in eating.
The Democratic city government during
the past year has been bad. If Demo-
cratic rule is to be the rule again for the
coming year, the Democratic city gov

be bad. This Is simply logic that Is very
easy to understand.
Some of the bosses who could not get
publicans are now running the so-called
Democratic Citizens ticket for no other
purpose than to put into office crea-
lures of their own, and to despoil tax
payers. Good sense and common sense
demand that these men be defeated at
the polls at to-morrow's election.
A Republican ratification meeting will
be held at the court house at 1880 this
evening, to which all good citizens, ir-
respective Of party, are invited. Prom
inent speakers will be in attendance,
and the records Of the Democratic city
administration and some of the nomi-
nees of the Democratic Citizens ticket
will be fully ventilated.
A libelous circular, containing abso-
lutte falsehoods and downright lies
about the Republican nominees for city
offices, is being circulated by some
Democrats and by a few members of
the so-called citizens meeting. Howev-
er, these falsehoods and lies will carry
no votes, as will be shown by the re-
suits of to-morrow's election.
No report of the financial condition of
this city, nor Of its expenditures and re-
ceipts has been published during the
mast twelve manfhs and no ana knows
