so it was. The first thing that excited our
suspicious was the absence of election re-
turns in the BULLETINS local columns.
Nothing short Of marriage or death, we
concluded, would excuse, in go vigilant q
reporter, such a palpable neglect. An
hour later we deserted him in the distance.
In our mind, then the thing was fixed.
He was not dead, but married. This con-
clusion was confirmed o moment after

more, in Msssac county, who will not vote

Macs disaffection, but because, in the first
