FACT.

In Pencader hundred, Dir. Naudain's majority in
1929, was So; in 1924 it was 1875. In Appoquini-
mink, Mr.. M'Lane had majority in 1922, OF !
in 1884, Doctor Naudain had majority Of 8. In
1924, the poll in Newcastle County, was less, by
nearly 500 votes, than it was in 1922 yet Doctor
Naudain had greater majority, by SIS. In 1899,
Mr. M'Lane's whole majority was GA in 1924 it
was 2l9; reduced 425.
A little more exerton in this county to bring the
people to the POLLS would have secured the election
Of Doctor Naudain. There was no change of any

Radicaiism or some other grevous folly has turned
the heads OF some OF our friends in that hundred,
for season. The whole force of the radical or
dissatied faction, it is called in this county,
amounting to about 40 votes, was exhibited on this
occasion for the federal candidate.
On the whole, we have great reason to be satisfied
with the result Of the election in this county. 1t
has tested the strength of the radical faction and
shown that all their efforts to destroy the democrat

whom their utmost forts directed whose cleo
ton they endeavored to defeat by the most shameful
calumnies, is elected by majority of nearly 500
votes over the highest federal candidate for the leg
