Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1902-04-05

lne CITY campaign is practlcdiiy
ended. Very little campaigning will
be done tonight, and the remaining
opportunities to change votes either
way are few: all that's to do now is
the voting.
Throughout, the campaign has been
conducted quietly by both sides. While
there has been no lack of enthusiasm,
it has not been of the roistering kind,
all the candidates and their friends
allowing the campaign to be one made
wholly upon merits of the candidates.
There has been a great deal of inter-
est in the campaign for city offices,
owing to an awakening to the fact that
there never has been time when the
election of only the best candidates
was more important than now. Espe-
cially are good men needed in the
Council, and the citizens have made
up their minds to vote for the men who
are competent and honest. The Demo-
cratic candidates were selected by
their party by reason of
their fitness for the positions, and it
Is believed that IL they are elected the
citizens will have no cause for com
plant.
The situation in the Justice of the
Peace contest Is such that Mr.. Eben-
ezcr Lewis, the Democratic candidate,
