GOOD REPUBLICAN WEATHER.
Sherman Men Few and Far Between-The
News of Central Falls and the Other
Valley Towns.

The night before election was quiet
one, the party leaders being hard at work
managing every minute detail for today S
work. Here and there groups of men
could be seen upon the principal streets
and in favorite resorts discussing the re-
suit. White was still in the lead, and it
is stated that an exceedingly solid vote
for him will be polled. He, together with
Alderman Tiepke and j. w. Authier,
Esq, addressed good gathering of voters
mt the First ward room last evening,
which was a guarantee that they would
work to the last. Sherman men were
few and far between, and he will not make
very strong impression in the race.
Today is election and all Pawtucket is
alive to the important duty of electing a
mayor and members of the city govern
meht for the coming year. In many
places Of business work has been partially
suspended, and the employees are swelling
the number on the streets or working for
their favorite candidate. Several who
were very confident of what was promised
have been disappointed, and both of the
straight parties received the benefit, while
the third lost.
The good weather brought out typical
Republican election day and the voters
went at the work with will Every ward
fray which will be one of the greatest in
the comparatively new city's history. AS
soon as the several ward rooms were
properly opened voters were ready, and
for some time steady vote was carried
on. Several voters were surprised when
they heard those who before the election
favored Sherman were now the same for
White. The third party early in the day
lost a majority of what the thought they
had, and were discouraged. White
opened with g good st art at each and later
for awhile had hard pull by Carroll who
Is fighting upon his merits Sherman
will trot his last heat in the political race
to-day, and judges who are competent say
he will be distanced. AT any rate it's u
lively race and is being watched with
much interest.
AT noon the voting at the several wards
was in favor of White.
