Sheriff, as far as received up to time of

majority. The towns to hear from will

Mr. Burt is certainly not elected en-.

we regret that this unfortunate feeling
has resulted in striking down worthy

county offices, We rejoice that there has
been no sacrifice of the party integrity
upon any other issue. Our Republican
friends throughout the State will be glad
to learn that, though the vote was small,
the other candidates upon the ticket, State

majority. The returns are thus far very
