ELECTION INCIDENTS.

One oc til, s,ru,agems Of the colIarnen was to
claim every b,dy who not particularly clamer-

matters to receive some "post of honor.'
The gratubus circulation Of newspapers and
extras, was another wonderful operation resored
to, to carry the State. Such masses of lbelous

the canvass. In fact, only few scattering votes
were given to this little aspirant.
Another amusing affair is also worthy of note in

one that should happen to obtain the lowest vote
should decline on the second ballot in favor of the
other. The result shows that both together have
less than one third Of the votes Of the District.
There was in the onset three tickets for Senators
