lows Moses Mcdonald, (democrat) has 5I37
Nathan d. Appleton (whig and free soiQ 1857.
The missing towns voted as follows: Demo-
Gratis 40; whig and free soil 30. Their votes
would make Mcdonald stand 5l77, Appleton
46S6-McDonald's plurality 49l.
In this district, while the wings and free
sellers coalesced to defeat the democratic can
didate, 23S democrats contributed to the same
end by voting for Moses Sweat (dem.) Their
votes added to McDonald's would have given
him a majority of 1881

cept Salem, and Jackson plantation, give Lot
Nj. Morrill, democrat 1895, Robert Goodenow
wing 4745, Seth May free soiD 1885, The
vote of Salem and Jackson last year stood thus
democrat "a, wing So These added to the re-
turns in would give Morrill, 1859, Goodenow
1897. Robt Goodenow wing is elected with
about l08 votes to spare. The idea of electing
democrat in this old federal stronghold has
heretofore been regarded as entirely idle, and
it is a little provoking to know that we only
failed of carrying the district by the remissness
of our two old banner towns, Clinton and Ben
ton. These towns in 1919 gave 306 demo-
cratic votes. In 1910 they gave 356. Now
when most wanted they give but III, thus los
ing the district.
