We give this week Ill the returns We could
gather up to the time Of going to press. Re
turns come III very SLOWLY owing 20 the lack
of interest taken III this years canvass. The
Republicans. dcclains the victory sure, did
not turn out IS last Year. and very light
vote Is the consequence. 1t Was an excellent
harvcst-day. and many farmers chose to stay
at home and secure their crops rather than
devote one day in three hundred and sixty
five to their cojIntry's cause In this County
the Republican ticket is elected by about
eight hundred plurality. Tie administration
party have elected five representatives and
the Republicans eleven. In Orleans County
the Republicans have elected their ticket bv

Republican representative, from all towns
but one. with one town not heard from. Is

Never Said So.

1t is represented in the Buchanan
papers east, that Gov. Geary wrote
that Whitfield was the legally elected
representative from Kansas, and that
"Ae represeats large majority Of the
legal voters Of Kaasas Territory" A
friend writes US from Boston, inquir-
ing whether Gov. Geary ever made
such q remark. We have never in
quired of that gentleman what he did
say in the premises, but we venture
The assertion that he never made any
