But One Week Left Of the Cam.
paifn and Sears Continues
to Gain Strength.
Prospects Improving For the
Election Of the Entire Re-
publican Ticket.
Official Ballots Being Prepared
but One More Chance to
Register.

On Monday of next week the city
election will be held, and interest does
not lag as the campaign progresses.
The prospects grow brighter every day
not only for the electionsof Il. E. Sears
as mayor but Of the entire republican
ticket, including councilmcn, as we'll.
The voters have become assured that
Mr.. Sears as mayor will look after the
|city's interests with the same fidelity as
he did when elected to the school board
for the purpose of bringing about re-
Itrenchment in school affairs. Both N.Y.
Sears and Mr.. Atkinson were elected on
those issues, and to them ia due the
credit of inaugurating and carrying out
the work for which they We're especial
lys chosen.
Business methods of the same kind
the school board adopted at that time
are sadly needed in city affairs. and as
MIR. Sears grows In favor for mayor the
people become more inclined to make as
clean a sweep as possible, so that When
the committees are made up for the
next fiscal year they will contain men.
who will do their full duty and not take
some irresponsible PERSONS word for
things of which they themselves should
know, as Messrs. Good. Henry and
Mcclure have done in the case of the.
mayors finances. Messrs Charles
Speers and w. "A. WATSON will make the
most of their opportunities and wage Il
Vigorous campaign from this time until
Ielection day. In the Second the demo-
Icrats have seen the uselessness of plac-
ing candidate for councilman in the
field against William Fisher, and In the
Fourth MIR. Kreutzer is acceptable to
tall parties.
G. H. Van Law for city solicitor, w.
B. Elliott for assessor and William Bat
Tin for treasurer are sure of election,
altho j. H. Egermayer is making a hard
fight for the solicitorship.
THE OFFICIAL. BALLOTS.
City Clerk Trotter has prepared the
official ballots for the election. and they
are now in the hands of the printer. Mr.
| McGuire's attempt TO railroad Mr..
Jones' name into the first place on the
ballots has failed, as Mr.. Trotter after
consulting City Solicitor Evans, as per
instructions, placed the republican tick
set first. The balance of the candidates
follow, each candidate being given
whole ticket by himself under the head
lhS OF lnue peNuenl. Dr. IetZ secured
