AS the campaign draws nearer to a
close the spirits of the non-partisans
mount higher and higher.
Without exception they declare they
have won their fight and that If con-
ditions remain unchanged until the day
of election. next Tuesday, their victory
will be complete and overwhelming.
They express confidence, too, that the
conditions will not change except in
their favor; but they are issuing warn
irgs against a spirit of overconfidence
which, If practiced to the extent of
failure to go to the polls, might result
disastrously.
Little was heard yesterday of the at
tempted trick to cause the Merchants
and Manufacturers association to ap-
pear to favor the Democratic ticket by
making an effort, which it never was
expected to succeed, to cause the with
drawal of MIR. Gates and DR.. Lindley.
Favor the Non=Partsans
A careful canvass was made yester-
day of two of the largest and most
fashionable dry goods stores in town,
the canvass covering all employees who
were entitled to vote In one of them
there were found As votes for Gates, s
for Harper and for Lindley. The poll
of the other store showed 56 for Gates,
for Harper and 2 for Lindley.
A careful canvass has been made of
the Sixty-fifth precinct, which shows
by curious coincidence almost 65 per
cent of all the voters in favor of Gates.
In every sub-station of the postoff1ce
which has been canvassed large ma
jority of the employees declare them
selves in favor of Gates.
In one hotel in the city there are
seventy registered voters. Sixty-nine
of them say they will vote for Gates.
At the polling place at the corner of
Tenth and Alvarado streets forty-two
votes were cast at the recent bond elec-
ton. Each voter was questioned as to
his preferences and forty-one Of them
declared for Gates. In manufactur-
ing establishment employing about 300
men more than so per cent of them are
for Gates. +.... 80
