AMONG the many indications of thrift in
our city, not the least by any means, is the
crowded condition and extending proper
tons of cur hotels. There has hardly been
day during the summer but most OF our
hotels have been crowded, Travel, even
.or pleasure, involves expenditure, and thus
promotes trade; but travel, for a year or
TWO past, has not been so much for pleasure
as profit. The extensive travel of the past
summer, therefore, must indicate extensive
raffic, and traffic being both consequences
and caase of production, its increase in.
dieates greater activity in the industrial
avocations of the community. But allthi!

BosroN, Mass, Nov. 3.-The vote in this

the Republicans have made nearly COM
plete sweep of everything in Boston.
The vote for Governor foots up as follows:
Andrews 1921, Payne 1904. Republican
gain on the vote of last year.
1t is doubtful if the Opposition have
elected six representatives to the Legisla-
ture and they will probably not elect a
single Senator. Last year the Opposition
vote was $4,000; now it will hardly reach
10000. Outside of Boston we do not hear

remedies administered without effect; when
cold water was applied, however, she

sumed, she again rallied, and in sixty hours

They are not to be tritled with, nor will

soldiers, a few DAYS since, took three contra

for the trade had been previously maize with
