Today will toll the story , nnd In nil proba
bility Tin : Bee will bo able to present to Its
roudors tomorrow morning the names of the
successful nsinrnnts for city oftlce , nnd an
nrcurato report of the majorities , although
there wilt bo a largo vote polled , and It Is
certain that there will bo tt great deal ot
scratching , which will delay the counting
und make It very Into bcfoio the returns
are all In ,
The fight nt the polls will bo ono of the
most bitterly contested over hold In the city
It will not bo a party light , but rather ono
of the citizens nga'nst ' nug rule Boodle ,
whisky nnd Intimidation will bo the moans
used by the ring to secure the success of the
so-called democratic tlckot , and It is against
these that the battle must bo waged
Yesterday was the last day of grnco , and
the political workers were busy oy.ory hour
of it und until an early hour this morning
The nomlness on the democratic ticket were
out in full force , and the manner in which
they buttonholed evsry voter who passed
was an evidence of the uneasiness felt by
them They nro loavlng no stone unturned
that could posslb' .v ussist them In any man
ner So dospcruto la the situation that they
nro not working for ttio ticket as a ivholo ,
but it Is every man for mmself , nnd they are
offcrlug to saenfico each other lu a way piti
ful to behold There is not the slightest
doubt but that there will bo moro trading at
the noils than ever before seen hero on a
similar occasion None understand the situ
ation hotter than the democratic nominees ,
and they nro far from fooling as dated us is
customary in this democratic city
The outlook for the success of the citizens
tlckot grows brighter every hour , nnd It is
certain that a part , if not the whole of it ,
will bo olectcd Almost without un excep
tion it has tno support ot the hotter element
of democracy , and thcro is hardly u business
mun of either party to bo found who is networking
working for its success Its election depends
on a light between the representative men
and property Interests of the city against
the flouting and purchasable vote
In the First ward the principal fight will
bo for ward alderman and the republican
nominee L. A. Caspar , hns such a following
that his friends are confident of his election
E. T. Waterman was nnnounccd as an
independent candidate for reelection , but
ho wont to Mr Caspar yesterday , and
offered to withdraw from the rnco in favor
of Mr Caspar , provided the latter gentle
man was opposed to tbo gag rule ot the
Walters outfit in the First ward and would
work against the reappointment of C. D.
Walters as chief ot the ilro department Mr
Caspar stated that ho did not intend to make
any pledges , but that his opposition to Wal
ters was a matter of public knowledge and
that ho was opposed to ring rule first , last
and all the tune
That Bottled the inattor nnd Mr Water
man is now out of the light The contest is
between Mr Caspar and Mr Jennings The
latter will not poll the regular demo
cratic vote of the ward , owing
to his decided prohibition ideas and
because it is generally understood tbnt ho Is
pledged to support Walters
In the Fifth ward Bland Ulshton has with
drawn as tbo independent candidate und is
working hard for the success of l'oter Smith ,
tbo republican nominee The Globe stated
that bo was too good a democrat lo bolt bis
party ticket and bad announced that ho was
not an independent candidate , but the party
organ stopped right there and did not state
that ho had withdrawn In favor of the re
publican nominee Con Fitzpatrick , tbo
nomiuco of tno democratic caucus , admits
that ho is a weak man and states nlso that
ho can not understand the strong opposition
that has developed against him
In the Sixth the chances ot electing A. C.
Harding as ward alderman are most flatter
ing A loading democrat said yesterday
that the indepoadont candidate , O. P. Whip
pic , would receive ns many democratic as
republican votes and his candidacy will ,
therefore have llttlo effect on the real fight
between Harding nnd Mlkesell
The democratssentoverfcJOJJinto this ward
yesterday afternoon , but there will bo grief
ior whoever attempts to brlbo voters at tlio
polls today , and the probabilities are that
these who hold it will have an opportunity
to take It homo and spend It on tbelr families
I'he Mahattan is the stronghold of the
Maloneyltes , und the place was filled yes
terday with nil the word heelers and bum
mers that could bo collected Whisky und
beer wore the principal arguments used , and
they flowed llko water The air wus not nt
nil congenial to tbo respectable clement that
Is sometimes found nt the place , and iho
" proprietors devoted themselves to priming
tno word workers for their duties today
Democrats whp hnvo nlways voted the
nary ticket state openly that they will not
support it todny , not alone because of the
character of some of iho nominees , but because -
cause they Uecluro that * lt was not fairly
nominated They charge that the caucuses
in thu Second and Fifth words were packed ,
and the combine was at the bottom of the
whole thing Thn caucus at the Ogdcn house
on the evening before the convention Is referred -
forred to In a manner that clearly demon
strates how the dolegutes feel who were loft
out in the cold mid virtually hud nothing to
sny in the nomination of the party ticket
Maloney will run ngalust a rock In the Third
ward because of the attempt to pack the ,
caucus lu that ward against O'Connor , and
the friends of tuoMuttor have vowed to play
oven at the polls
Another thing that is cauiing trouble was
the ratification mooting at the opera house 1
Saturday evening It was simply a boom
edition for some of the nominees , and the ;
fact that it was run altogether in the inter
ests of James , Aylcswortb and Holmes has
caused the other candidates to sour on them ,
und they say this notion settled it with
thorn , nnd they will work for their own in
terests alone and will Undo the other with
out compunction whonovur tbo opportunity
offers
An unusual source of strength will bo the
Scandinavian vote which numbers 4 ) in
the city , They wore out working jeBterduy
for thu success of the citizens ticket nnd
liuvo appointed committees to work in all the
wards today , They say that they will vote
the tlckot ton man , und want to see tbe
colur of the democrats hair who can buy ono
of tholr votes , notwithstanding tbe assertion
of n democratic loader that ho would buy
every ono of their votes nt H a plecu .
Another class of citizens who favor the
citizens ticket are the Germans , and thuy
will make themselves felt at the polls as
novet before

HERE'S A QUEER BIRD STORY
it Cnst n G' .omn Over an Otherwise
Ki'Joynlilo Dinner Party
"I sco a great deal of talk In the pa
pers every little while , , ' said a man
who hns built many mtlos of railroads
and contracted for tiny number of big
engineering enterprise s , in the hearing
of n Now York Times reporter , about
the foolishuoss of having the englo ns
the omblotn of our country Ho is rep
resented us a. cowardly , thlovish , unin
telligent bird , und any number of ether
fowls of the air nro put forward as can
didates for the proud position of the
nations bird Now I nm not nn ornithologist
elegist , so I am not prepared to argue
ever the rolutivo merits of the diftoront
llyors , and I must confess that the eagle
is a thief always and a coward very
oftoti , hut that Iiq is lacking in intelli
gence I most ompluiticully deny Lot
mo toll you ono little stury of him that
puts him in a very favorable light ' '
The speaker was one of a little party
thnt had just finished dinner tit an up
town hotel it few evenings ago , and his
companions jumped tit the chauco of
hearing un iiiteiosting tale ever their
c igars
About twenty years ago " ho began ,
"I wus engaged in building a big wobt-
orn roadand one spring day wo pitched
oureunip on the banks of ono of the
turbulent rivers of the rogiou and settled -
tlod down for u three mouths job on a
ravine bridge A few days later wo
noticed un eagles nest perched up the
'olulT across the rlvor and the following
Sunday two of our mnn swam the stream
during the nbsenco of the old birds und
brought back two vigorous caglots with
thorn \
"Wo hurriedly patched upn pen of
pine slabs for the captives , making it
about seven foot square und leaving
lots of space between the slabs on the
top and sides , so that wo could have a
good look ut the squalling hunches of
feathers The parent birds came back
about noon , and whou they found thojr
llttlo ones gone they kicked up a ( right
ful row and How about in search of them
as if they wore distracted When they
finally discovered whory the eaglets
\voro they circled ! around in the uir
over the pen , keeping out ot reach of
our rilles , and shrieked advice to their
chicks about keeping up tholr spunk
and making themselves comfortable as
plainly as human beings could
Then the old birds Hew away and
came back after a little with two big
fish in their talons They circled and
circled nround over the pen , and finally
let the llsh drop straight as u die right
between the slabs jn the roof They

AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES
An Knglish Writer mi the Worshiper
or Financial llrsorvoirfl
Wo shall bo told that the majority of
men In nil countries seek for inoncyund
that it is only the gigantic scale on
which everything is conducted in the
now world which inultes their million
aires in uny way remarkable It is not
so Not only do wo not specially decry
American millionaires , but wo
think their quality of mam
moths the most redeeming feature
turo in the worship paid them
Money in these hugo aggregates hub in
it such potentialities , is no entirely be
yond what any man can spend upon
'sotf-lndulgence ' , thnt wocununderstaud
that the desire for it is often another
form of the vague desire for power
which 8ilr the hearts not * only of the
ambitious , but ot the philanthropic It
is not-tho millionaire , but the million
aire ns the popular ideal , who arouses
our apprehensions
Mon desire money in Europe , nnd
sometimes , when they have anything
to got , worship millionaires ; hut they
do not make of them ideals They are
not thirsting to bo themselves colhirs
of cash nor are they Inclined to bow
down before pccunlury reservoirs The
tendency , in fact , is the ether way
to hold mere money In a
certain intellectual scorn ; to pun
dor to the socialist dislike of
the very rich man , lo full prostrate ,
if at all , before rank , and military ,
success , and iutolloctof a certain showy
and advertising kind , Tlio sccrot
wishes ol men are many , but these who
deslio to bo as the Nitrate King , and
who watch him , to catcli if they may
his secret of success , are certainly not
the community Tlio majority in all
grades thirst for competence , nstlioy
l'eckon competence , in order to bo
free ; u few desire grout wealth as a
tangible proor to themselves of their
own success ; ono ov two seek mammoth
forti'nes from the moro pleasure of the
pyramid builder , half vanity , hnlf do-
Biro to do what has not boon done before
fore , but all sot in ideal before them
selves ether than the money , Not ovou
iu Franco uro the millionaires raised
into idouls , while in Germany they are
loathed ; in Italy , whore men quit busi
ness on 200 u jour , they are disre
garded ; in Austria they uro nothing ,
being crushed by the revoruiico for
birth ; and In Kiigland they nro what
shall wo sayV defended , with upologics
for the defense , us people who uro use
ful in their way That the admiration
for weulth moro wealth grows hero
und in all European countries , wo do
not deny , because all other forms of
irresponsible power are dying , and mon
long for power less fettered thun the
power derived from u popular vote
Bettor any deity thuii Belial , if man is
to advance , even if it bo so absurd u
ono as Is embodied in the Kuglish con
ception of aristocracy That docs nt
