PAWTUxET VALLEY VOTE.

At Apponaug about $50 ballots were
cast up Co ~ O'Clock. The Republicans
were out in large numbers and seemed TO
have II their own way. A lew sour Demo-
crats were discussing the situation ana one
or two oldtimers were contendlng that
the Democracy was in as gooo shape as
ever and had unusually good men upon
the ticket. This afternoon the business
men and q larger number OF the miil
employees will cast their votes.
The voting at Centorville district was
not so easily judged as very little could be
heard, but IL will doubtless be The OLD story
of Republican ballots. The French clubs,
always antagonistic to each other, hao
decided to vote for Republicanism. There
was very little voting at Llppltt until
II o'clock, when the Clyde Print WORKS
and other manufacturing establishments
shut down for noon.
A very singular phase OF the Democratic
population today is that the damp weather
has prevented many from going 10 the
polls. At least, this is the excuse offered
by many of that party when questioned.
Scituate.
Scituate, the home of the late Senator
Russell $. Young, contains many Demo-
Gratis, and even in this off year their
ballots were numerous. The Repu olicans,
however, will doubtless carry the town.

Democratic ticket and the Republicans
are hugely enjoying the fruit.
