Election day in Manchester ana its
environs passed off very quietly. There
Was no excitement and little interest
manifested, and the whole town had al
most the appearance of the Sauoath. The
Democrats won the day by a. handsome
majority, and it was the wide margin
between the votes cast for the candidates
for the two parties that caused such

cast was small Swanson g lead easy

in the Second, Ward. Ellyson received
40. with Kent following with - votes.
Most of the local interest was attached
Ito the race for the House between Pull
liam and Wells. The Republican vote
was much less than was expected By the
leaders OF that party; Pnlliam receiving
IA, and Wells, only SO votes.

General apathy was the order of the
