CRATIC, PROHIBITORY, AND LABOR REFORM
PARTIES EXPECT TO ACCOMPLISH TO-DAY
INDICATIONS OF A REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH.
BosTON, Nov. THE campaign III Massa-
ohuses, which closes with grand mass meetings In Bos-
ton and other places this evening" has been of unusual
interest and has had many striking features, though
generally 1t has been Of such personal nature that it
has been OF local rather than general concern. The
nomination OF Mr. Wendell Phillips by the new Prohibi-
tory party threw glare OF respectabty over that in
temperate faction. which sadly reduced In brancy
when he accepted the nomination OF the Labor Reform
party another ticket The politicians accorded him
very respectable in anticipation until he began to
lecture himself State topics, since which time the
general opinion has been that he has lost votes Many OF
Mr. Phllips's old friends in the Republican party
were slow TO say that he had made more
than mistake in accepting these nominations
until he attacked Gov Clsin, Mr. Bird. and other gen
temen, when certain batteries turned upon him
which had always fought for him or had excused him
when his opinions too revolutionary in their char
acter. The old saying that man cannot be written
down unless he does the writing himself in measure
applicable to Mr.. Phillips, whose lectures have been pub
paign documents for the Republican party among think
ing people Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Bird have followed
what has damaged him more than all has been crit-
eisn of his speech at Bedford Just as the war
which he made during the war forgotten until he

for the first time and under peculiar circumstances and
how strong may beven its leaders cannot determine
Its main influence is in the secret Temperance societies.
where you cannot tell what statements are made and
cannot Of course contradict them But In the three
orders which fourshiDg there are not 600 voters
and many OF those will remain in the Republican party
In Boston the leaders claim that they will have loo
votes they got less than 200 not long since for pohb
itory Mayor but they were not 1rganZed ana IN Spring
field they claim the same Where Mr. PmIlps mas not
spoken and the papers not read he will get the most
In Maine New Hampshire and Ohio, where the prOhlD
toy parties have poned very few votes in the aggregate
WELL and they get 10000 they will exceed their sangune
expectations. The pivot on which they nave wheeled

stand This is Why they de5gnnfe S e COY + or oa he
people TO determine whether malt liquors should be sold
In the various cities and towns, and the Governor MN

number OF votes the Labor party will throw TINS ear Is
something Of problem Last year Taen t9e sd rases

but the Of their indignation last year has been
made great stir among them, but it has since died out
and the question IL on its general merits Iha Their
vote OF last year will not be much increased seems TO he
the general opinion, 10000 or 900 votes being the aver
age Of the various estimates OF Mr. Phlpss strength
Gov Cafin's vote last year 06, and II Ia generally
believed that those figures will be Increased 10 Oc or
5000. John Quincy Adams received 0,7S5 votes last
wear aud the talk that he will receive about the same
humber this year. ProhbitiOnsts have boasted that
many Democrats will vote their ticket ana & ait93qgn NOV

The vote necessarily be pretty large this year as
four parties have been stumping the State Tor Tort
night and the voters are pretty wide awake to
The old members OF Congress have all been renomin
ated and their reelection in eight OF the ten districts has
never been questioned The Hon Samuel Hoopers
cess in the WITH District seems 10 be generally
three weeks ago but the Hon. Ginery Twchels return
from the IId District is involved in grave doubt Mr.
widely kown and universally esteemed and he will
ceiye many Republican votes from those who do not
a 10 @ T DC M & on the Labor
ticket, and time Mayor OF Roxbury, before its

Republicans that he is not Democrat but has
been nothing he strong Whg. He can hardly
be anything Democrat in Congress II he Is elected
He has had one curious ripple OF opposition ID ,he labor
Lynn woman who is attempting TO speak IN puDhc on

honor Of being snubbed by Gen. Grant In washington
see her with good deal Of junction. but people laugh at
her and her weak attempts TO occupy rather than l
and rather question President could have done
otherwise than refuse to be bored by her
The only direct effect OF the Labor Reform and Proih
tory factions the general result will be seen ia the
Legislature, where the Republican majority will be
ecency Of the party At such the indications
In districts where the Republican majority mas been
small heretofore, enough votes may he cast by the Pro
hibonists and Labor Reforners TO defeat the Repub
can candidates and elect Democratic. This is true or
both the Senatorial and Representative districts but
more especially OF the latter where Labor Reform cand
dates will De elected In not few instances But IT Is
moi believed that the disafection will be general OF
strong enough prevent working Republican MAJORITY
or to leopard the reelection OF Senator wilson
Whatever the result the people understand the ques-
tons the day pretty thoroughly as all doubtful sec
tons have canvassed The only thing TO lie feared
E that the Republicans in sections feel so sure OF
their account OF past victories tnat they may
neglect call out full vote, and thus give thef 0po,
ne1ts decided advantage as the aforementioned will
I've no stone unturned achieve victory the three
,'sr,iesNDemocratic ,'s Prohibitory and Labor Reform
Having one common end IN view-the defeat Of the
Republican party.
