: DEAR SIR The returns below may be rel
e upon as giving the vote of Duplln. Our par
:. strength YOU see is not much diminished. Many

}. tanned Mr.. Reid, felt natural reluctance TO vo
e against him. Others who his personal friend
but publicly denounced his principles, have remain
4 away from the polls, or have voted for him N
- word for il, Sam" is very weak in Dupln. hi
