town could have been here to hear. A ,ro,,
result too will follow. Whot pity Mr.. T.
could n"s have been at the heels OF Mr.. r. at
the other places in the district, that no 3onbt
now might be lowering over the contest.

this district refused to support an indcprndeu,
candidate, and thereby really throw it's vote
IN tavor OF Radicasul, the Register proceeds
to use SANDER as an excuse for the ignominious
defeat OF its favorite. No such repo,t was
ever heard OF in this community until it was
promulgated in the columns of the PcTs,er
aud we have good reason to believe the same
to be the case elsewhere in the district. 1t

something else.
