Fourth C. HADLEY. Fifth L. TRUMAN. THE city election takes place to-day.

Probably nothing can be said that will give-any different view of the situation than is now held by the votes Republicans are urged to go to the polls and- vote. Those independent voters whose interests or friendship leads them to support one or more candidates on the Republican ticket are entitled to credit if success is attained at any point. There is no reason why there should be a Democratic majority in city affairs but there always has been and it can not be overcome except by independent voting. The Journal hopes that those who have determined to aid men on the ticket will do all they can to promote their interests. JOHN QUIIX used a column and a lalf of the Journal's valuable space yesterday, setting forth reasons why voters in general, and working-men in particular, should cast their ballots for Mr.

Webster, for Mayor. Notwithstanding this very pronounced and somewhat pompous endorsement of Mr. Webster, the Pharos has it, upon the very best authority, and challenges Mr. Quill to prove the contrary, that he. Mr.

Quill, will not himself vote for Mr. Webster for Mr. Quill lives just beyond the city limits and course cannot' vote for Mr. Webster. The Pharos purposely attempts.to create a wrong impression by suppressing that fact.

It is be hoped that for once it will fool nobody. THE Pharos is much worried about he labor vote. The Democratic oon- ention sat down 'on every labor can- idate that appeared before it. No onder theJPharos is worried.
