Valo 7G4, and Republican Representative 134.
Linn County gives Carpenter 549, and elects an
Anti-hronopoly Democrat to tho House. In

Nor do the State tickets run ut au evenly in the

dood, aro the uncertainties and the conities Of
tho election vol mixed. It is not improbable
that tho Indignant electors in Clinton County
who voted Valo's ticket outiro because they could
not scratch tho other gave, in their locality,
tho largest proportion Of unacratchod ballota to

dobris aa this tint tho Republican managers at

whole week, trying to figure majorisies on Gov
