There was abso lutely no manifestation of interest on the streets, and even at the poll ing places, where crowds usually congregate, to get a line ou how things are going, everything was quiet. There were a few of the hard workers of both parties out making au effort to get the delinquent voters to the polls, but the known one sidedness of the affair, made the arousing of enthusiasm impossible'. In the evening, the lack of interest was again demonstrated. Party headquarters were deserted as early as ten o'clock. The anly mani festation of interest was in the out come of the mayoralty contest in New York City, and as soon as that was learned, everybody apparently left the streets.
