The City. Central Committee met last
night and heard the report from the COM
mtttees for election day. Due to "a mis-
understanding of the members there was
no one appointed to look after the inter
sests of the Democrats from the First and
second Wards. Unless this is attended TO
early this morning the Democratic inter-
ests viii suffer in those wards, for the
Republicans Will have several men from
each ward. to see after the interests of
their candidates. The committee took the
necessary steps to insure the bringing out
of tie full vote.

last night and said he felt no uneasiness,
and was sure the talk made by Dr.. Tracy

ATTAGK3sD BY DIR. TRACY.
Dr.. Tracy;5fli eloquent temperance
evangelist, created something of a scnsa-
ton Sunday night by denouncing one of
the Democratic nominees for the House
and calling upon the voters to cast their
ballots for the Prohibition candidate
The lecturer was pointed and severe in
his references. Justtbefore the close of
the lecture, Mr.. Alden Campbell arose
from the audience, and bitterly denounced
all whiskey dealers. His talk created
considerable amount of gossip, for when
he was soliciting the influence of the
church people in behalf of Mr.. Martin he
was asked by one pastor if he was going
to vote for. the Phchibitionist, and replied
that he was going to vote for Nunnally
and Wilson-the Republican, candidates
for the Legislature.
Hon. ID. l.. Toney yesterday gave the
: following letter for publications:

nominees.
Thanking you for past favors and ask
