nally (for city and State) 11.80, U is really
MM, when brought to the same basis ot
taxation as in other cities. Th?* question
before us le ?m?* really which not only
affecta the fuiur.? Ufa and growth of our
city, but the wages, ealariee, and proiits
of every laborer, clerk, and merchant
within the l'iiv limits, or dependent upon
it for a livelihood.
We may blink ;it or Ignore the condi
tions lliat Confront ?>ur corporate lift-.
Are we prepared to place our industri?-**
and our business on ths ?same plans of
competition with other all?e in the land.
or are w<? prei.i to Ignore the hand
writing on the wall, "that the fittest only
?survive in th- race f??r commerdsl lit?".'
The Democratic League for Qood Gov
ernment believes, snd knows, that the
whole fortune of the city-its ?business in
terests, manufacturing Interests? Isbor in
terests?art' dependent solely upon ai fixed
purpose to maintain our expenditures
within the limits of inoome. Their per*
eonal severance from all pursuit of i (Bee
within the girt of tin- city, anu? the char?
and probity which is cos?eed<sd to its
membership, la th?- guarantee of good
fatitli and civic paitriotism.
Tin y have with Infinite trouble and
much personal labor aucceeded in sub
tnltting t?> ti,.- people of this city tickets
in ihe s.v.ral war.H for membership in
the ?.'ouncll ami ?Board of Aldermen,
which should command the unqualified
support of every citizen who has the
desire t?> sustain the city's best Interest.
They do not claim for these tickets that
they an- p.-rfeet; but they do claim, un
hesitatingly, that they are the very b?'Ht
that th?- .-?vie patriotism of this city gives
them to ?support
?Having labored in the oause without
hope or desire of reward, aavo such as
ball i.?- open t.? the enjoyment of each
and ?every citisen, ex ?well :?s to thorn
eelves, they submit th.? matter to your
?h ? Ision
The candlilaites who have accepted the
endorsement of th?- league air?? committed
to the policy "to Uve Within income,"
either expressly or b*. Implication, snd It
is Incumben! upon all who believe in that
common-sense ?policy to sink persons!
preferences and persons! opinions. Th?*
league ticket should i??? sustained as a
whole for la this way, ami this alone,
can this policy, the wisdom of which even
our enemiee admit, ti- msintatnsd. in

COLBMAM WARE
ME WILKINSON DENIES,
Mr. Wilkinson reiterates In a very
positive way his denial that the names
of Kuhn and White were upon th? lists
which he- acknowledges having received
from Mr. Hawkins, but which, he says,
he returned without going to work on
them.
As a result of the complication. Mr.
Wilkinson, who has been a "runuer" for
very many years, has returned all his
commissions to the various eandid;it?-s,
and has declined to get any more trans
f?-rs.
The offence, by whomsoever It was
committed. Is against the State laws,
but es no serious consequence has been
Involved, It is the genera! opinion that
no steps will be taken to detect the
- -1?g?; T
withor of the alleged forftrles. unler,
the matter la brought to the attentio
i, of the grand jury.

Mr. C. W. Tyler said he was not op

WHAT EACH HIDE CEASES,

Of cours??, every eSSdtdstS that is out
tor g public- office claims that his election
is assured. They tell It ta confidence.
and proclaim It from the platforms at
public me? tlims. Tiny have visited all
tho workshops, offices, an?!, as some of
them choose to put it, "every hole ami
corner of the city." They are all good
men and true, but at this time the Inte
i? -t in the race for the City Council Is
tar more vital.
At the outset of the campaign the
clubs challenged the Good-Governmenl
League, and made a ?pointed Issue !..?
tWOen their rccpoctlve nominees. The
answer to that challenge was long de
layed, but it came In the form of a
ticket, which, it has been conceded, is a
wry strong one. The bague leaders
have been challenged to opi-n d?'liate,
but they have prttf?.*rred a ?'afferent modi:
of campaigning. They have had their
workers canvassing la every ward, mid
thti leaders who met on Friday night,
ami received the rejiorts from all parts

?SITUATION IN TEE WARDS.
They regard Maidlson and M?onroe
wards as absolutely safe, ami say that
durmg tne last tw?> weeks the feeling in
('lay Ward has undergone such a revul
sion, that they wfl Ihevs a much larger
majority there than they .anticipated.
This OhSagS has b?en due, they say, to
dtSSStlsfsetton Bt thu efforts to select
rive men from the sixteen candidates t,j
r?pr? sent the clubs, so as to narrow tho
light down to an Issue between the league
nit n ?sad anti-league men, but further
than this, they contend that the vltup? i i
tlon and abuse lavished upon the league
by Its opposers has won many votes for
them, and the canvassers have done tin
rest.
The candidates endorsed by the league
in Marshall Ward are regarde?! as sure
of election, but not a word Is said as to
Jefferson Ward.
SI OK <iF THE CLPH-MEN.
The club-men, on the other hand, say
that they have matured a plan for shut
ting out any candidate who may p<?sslb!y
receive the support of leaguers In J?f
ferson Ward, and they are confident that
they will make a clean sweep there. In
Marshall Ward they concede that some
of the candidates named by the league i
ire sure of election, but they think that
they will return some of the men who
are not endorsed by the league In Madi
s??n and Monroe wards. Out In Clay Ward
arrangements have been made for putting
a ticket in the field to represent the l
clubs, and the following combination has
been agre??t upon: Messrs. J. M. Rlanks,
Charles Winston. 8 H. Cottrell, W. Gib- I
on. and E. W. Minor. This leaves off j
?lx men who are in the field for the
Council. Those dissatisfied with this
ticket argue that it leaves the south 9*nt -
of the ward practically 'in represen ted, *
?riving the north side one candidate?Mr. ?

LONDON, March 12.-A diplomat, who
probably la the recipient of more conn?
Acuses than any man in Iamdon. has ex
pressed himself as follows on th? Cuban
gnesttani
"If America hud designed with a act
purpose the events of the -past week she
could not by any possibility have de
v? loped anything which In its Impresslvs
dignity would have had such sn effect
upon Europe as th? way in which tho
Executives Congress, and the people hsva
net the crisis and risen to the responsl?
bilitUs involved In dealing with the Cu*?
ban goeetton."
Such Is undoubtedly the general feel
ing. ?Svsey one liero now recognises that
the 1'niUil Btatea does not desire war,
but Is actuated by humanitarian senti
ments, a"?l will not shrink from war if
It Is necessary to right the wrongs of
CUbh ami essct satisfaction fr??m Spain.
In the course of a long article tho
sp mker mumesie the opinion that th?
p?,?)?)0,?>J0 appropriation for the national
defence really makes for psSOS,
The Speaker adds: "in the face of at
? le th ti. it, a bank crisis, an?! tho
suspension of the revival of Industry, th?
United States has deliberately shown th?
world that It will not b? trilled with.
The gpsnlsk patriots would do well to
heed the wanning."
The Spectator soys: "?Juotlng Kipling,
the Americans ale Irresolute and full of,
double up to tile point when they wake
'the drumming guns that have no
doubts.' After th:U there Is n?? moro
in -olutlon till the last shot Is Bred."
The oswepepere hen* generally reg.irrt
favorably the Niciotiail's proposition thai
the United c'a tes annex Cuba and as
euuM in r debt.
Tin* feeling In the money market is
that if arar is hesTllahls much gold arts
?probably go to New York, an?l in?>n?y,
therefore, win i? ? ame desear. The mar
