LITTLE INTEREST IN HAVERHILL.

but little interest in the election, prac-

tative districts. ssand asswasito be expected,
the vote Is light and the Republican
plurAllCy Wn1cn uls6lNSulsHeu f1aVernlll
last year, is cut down, but still all the
candidates Of the party havessa good plrl-
rality.
In the third and fourth Representative
districts, where there has been the great
est show of u fight against the Republi-
can nominees, the party candidates have
won.
On the state ticket the Republicans
did nothing and could expect but little.
The Democrats attended to registration
and their work shows the result. The
vote for the National Democracy was
rather disappointing and the prohibit
lon vote was decidedly weak. The So
ciaIists made good showing. The vote
for governor was: Wolcott, 1892; Will
