As the Democrats adore backbone they WILL of

mage between Tilden and Tammany
There were six county delegations to the Republi

Monday and all of them were instructed for Blaine.

The Fusonists merely wanted the Court to whack

Garcelon followed IN Maine. In support OF it the
assertion is made that there 400 votes cast for
Mr. Potter in New-York City which were thrown
out on account of incorrect spelling of his name
The number 400 is merely euesswork. as no official
statement has been made. There wild assertions

no votes were thrown ont by the State canvassers.
They merely counted the returns as they were made
by the election officers, and refused to 60 behind
them. This is precisely what Garcelon did not do
