respective canvasscs giving them hopes OF carry
ing the day. The Republicans entered the contest
with unitcd front, all past differences growing
out Of municipal affairs having been consi gncd to
oblivion by general consent. The Democrats had
the advantage in money matters having the federal
officers as well rs local candidates TO assess. \
pleasant feature was that there was no disturb
ance and not much evidence of the of liquor.
The vote il the city was l2i1. which was very large
for a state election The majority of the citizens
voted straight, but there was more or less cutting,
particularly on sheriff ard county treasurer. Two

forenoon spirited, Int by noon the Democrats
saw that they were beaten, and while they did not
give up the contest the fight on their part was
spiritlps5 one. quite number of Democrats did
not vote. Many could not support the free trade
hecsics of their party, ard not being ready to join
the Republicans they rcfrainel from voting. Many,
however. voted with the Republicans. The Pro
hibition vote Was less than two years ago while
the labor vote, new element in the canvass, eN-
cctticd the former vote Many who voted with the
ProhDtionists two years ago voted this year with
the Labor men, The most interest i'll Belfast cen

spicuous in the canvass by stamping Waldo coun-
