Very little interest or enthusiasm is be-
ing taken in to-day's election in the city
Of Manchester. Last night the streets
were deserted at an early hour. the sa-
looms were closed. and the town was at
peace. The lack Of interest is occasioned
bv the fact that there is practically no
opposition i'm the district TO the regularly
nominated candidates of the Democratic
party. As a consequence 1t Is forecast
that the vote poled IN to-day 5 election
will be very light.
The CITY Central Committee will meet
tonight at police quarters 10 receive the
returns from the local precincts.
