Mr.. Lyman's pretended Loco

The principal reason assigned by
MI. Miner and hi, friends for not abb
ding by the decision made against him

from the contest, is that MIR. Lyman's
plurality is composed of votes given
ny the opposite party. This assertion
!, easily made and AS easily repeated,
but We have looked in vain for any
proof OF it. We not only deny tha,
there is any evidence Of its truth, but
on the contrary maintain that there is
every reason to believe that Mr.. Miner
received greater number of Locofoco
votes in the district than Mr. Lyman
did.

She lies about 3 miles off Crane Neck
