A Lively Campaign.
The campaign which closed with the
sleetiou Of Tuesday has been one ct
HE livelest, hardest fought and most
Interesting the city has ever known.
The Administration ticket on the one
hsud, the Municipal Club upon the
Dther, both announced their platforms
ometime ago, and which in purport
appeared very similsf. Tickets we're
placed 10 the field by both organiza-
lions, and then the fun began. Meet

p rule attending the session OF his
ban club, and these meetings TO say
lhe least lent spice to the campsigu
lud kept the interest at boiling heat
large amount Of literature was also
printed and circulated through the
press, the mails and otherwise, and
hsse have kept the voter busy be-
lseen the meetings-thatIs, If he took
pc time to read them all.

psned up clear, but the wind was high
afng the day, making the weather
ey disagreeable. This had no ten
sney to prevent a good attendance
