In Christiana, tho white vote shows All increase
Of not loss than hundred.
In New Castle it increased about forty.
In the other hundreds, we are unable to trace
any important change, though Appoqunmnk
undoubtedly poled more white votes, this year
than in 1868, and we believe the same to be true

party having alarmed or chilled its original MEM

stronger in its white vote, alone, than ever be-

There is rumor from Boston that the Con-

Without undertaking Mr. Twichell, who has

injustice, we hope that the rumor may prove

the meagre vote thrown, In 1868 the total poll

100000; falling Off of nearly one half. On
such vote no comparisons can be based with
