herdStown on TueSday-indeed, we do
not recall a general election in which so
little interest was shown. There was lit
tie or no organization on either side, and
the workers were few, compared to other
years. There was some booze and linn
tied amount of Doodle in certain place.,
but neither was much in evidence. There
was absolutely no enthusiasm, and many
influential Democrats did not 60 to the
polls, as they would not vote for Silver
and did not care to scratch the ticket

munity made noticeable difference in
the order of the day, and a decent, quiet
election was the result.
