will be any third candidate put up, so that
we shall avoid all triangular contests, and
have fair and square 6ght between tho
administration and administration for
les in every district. In 1862. at the Pres
lential election, the vote in the whole State
stood as follows:
Scott. Pierce. Hale.
l52,52o l69,220. 32,6s2.
BY this it will be seeu Pierces plurality
over Scott was 1904, while the combined
vote for Scott and Hale ovel Pierce was
l4,9ss. 1t is very evident, therefore that
with united vote the administration party
must be defeated. 1t may be interesting
at this time to show the relative strength
of parties in the several Congressional Dis
tricts in the State in the fall election of 49,
SO. There has been no change since then
in the boundaries Of any of the districts.
