would have selected for the accom-
plishment of success-fair above and
dry beneath, with an atmosphere clear
and bright, and an air that dry
and hot would compel 1.-THE drinks
so dear TO every canYasser's heart. This
latter class mustered in strong force,
embracing what is not usual at elections,
delegates from every sect of society.
We noticed, beside the usual bar-roOm
loafer, mechanics, merchants, bankers
and lawyers, all working busily side
by-side, and seemingly anxious for the
success of some particular can
didate. Carriages were in abundance,
and every voter who wanted to could
ride to the polls as free as to a funeral.
1t proved, by the way, a funeral for 4
good many-we mean good, too, in its
original significance-for many really
good fellows have gone to the wall.
Not all of them. Some have been Sc
lected or elected. We have not
been able to receive all the
returns, and therefore cannot say with
certainty who, but we guess, from all we
hear, that Lacey is the nominee for Con-
gress, King for the Senate, Smith, of
Upton, for FlOater to the Senate, Mathes
for Floater to the House, and Overton,
Harris, Barbiere and Cannon for the
House. These are the indications. We
do not furnish them as a result of the
complete returns, only the guesswork of
those who "were around" and watched
the labor of the day. The figures re-
ceived are a follows:
