Barrett's Defeat Shows Shifts in Political Support
The article recounts post election returns showing Democratic support for Everett with notable disaffection in Malden and Chelsea. It notes changes from fall results, highlighting turnout in Charlestown, Lynn, Melrose, and Nahant, and mentions ward-level counts and a claim that Hayes supporters voted for Everett in Ward 8.
How Dr Everett Lost His Strength in This Campaign
In Ward 4 the Democrats faced a surprise defeat as Barrett won by twenty nine. Everett had a 185 majority in 1892 but lost to Barrett amid local fears of jobs from the navy yard and Barrett's political ties. Grand Army men opposed Everett and party leaders in Charlestown resisted his nomination, shaping voter sentiment despite earlier support.
