Republicans and Democrats, probably.

Waldo, one in Knox and one in Han.
cock. They will viii also have one in
York. there being but two Republicans
elected in that county, Mr.. Buffers vote
falling below that of the Democratic can
didateS, which renders him ineligible as
a constitutional candidate in the legisla
ture, which will MI the vacancy.
