Massachusetts.
In Massachusetts State officers and
Members OF the Legislature are to be
chosen. The campaign has acquired
additional Interest from the promi-
nence given the Temperance question,
and from the fact that the Labor Re.
form Party has entered the field and
nominated separate ticket for State
officers. Neither Of the old parties
seems to look with much favor upon
the Independent movement OF the
laboring men, as 1t Is uncertain from
which they will draw most Of their re-
cruits, but in any event their separate
action will in all probability only d.
mlnish the majority for the Republican
State ticket, without affecting the gen.
eral result. The candidates nominated
for the State Offices by the three parties
are as follows:
REPUBLICAN,,
