DEMOCRATIC APATHY.

Boston. Sept. 1.-THE lack OF interest
which was shown in the few Democratic
caucuses wednesday evening extended
in a marked degree 10 those held
throughout the state last night. for in
nearly every instance there was only a
scanty attendance in the ward room,
while in not a few cases an absence Of
voters necessitated either a postpone
ment or the calling off of the caucus en-
tirely. Where a local contest was on
there was a fair attendance, but even
then the choosing Of a state delegation
aroused no enthusiasm.
In a few instances resolutions endors-
ing the Chicago platform were adopted
and delegates instructed to vote for
George Fred Williams for governor; but
in one ward in Newton both the plat
form and the candidate were denounced
There the gold Democrats had every
thing their own way. and there was also
a good attendance noted.
In this city the interest centered in the
contest for councillor in the Fourth dis
trict, where at the November election
last year John II. sullivan was defeated
by Isaac B. Allen. The district is over
whelmingly Democratic. and the con-
test for control was short and sharp.
Sullivan won by a good majority and
will again he the Democratic candidate.
